    1966 FJ45LV Resurrection

    On Sunday evening, after getting the LV ready for its new owners, I went for a drive on some country roads near my house. It brought back a lot of great memories including when I got her back on the road and filled up the fuel tank for the first time, when @forrest5000 and I finally figured out...

    I'm honored that Bring A Trailer thought my LV was worth featuring although I wish the headline didn't use the word "rusty. " Rusty Runner: 1966 Toyota Land Cruiser LV Wagon

    @JLawson beat JP to the punch and called Preston, the guy working on the floors. He informed me that Preston is making patterns off of his LV and plans on only making 5 sets to start as he doesn't want to get too far ahead of demand. Preston is working on a package: Floor pans front and back...

    @ClemsonCruiser got the guy's number from me earlier today and has made plans to give him a call. I've asked him to pass your requests on to the guy. One of us will let you know what he finds out.:beer:

    I'm sorry for your loss. I found a guy on Facebook that is planning to make several sets of replacement floor pans, braces, seat brackets and the piece under the tailgate. I think he is going to ask around $3k. The floors will have ribbing like it came from the factory. Let me know if you...

    Thank you. I'm sure it will. These old trucks are tough. Unfortunately, I'm about to list my LV for sale as my wife and kids prefer my FJ40 over the LV and I can't keep both. Working on the LV was therapeutic as I had lost my mom just before starting this thread. Having it to occupy my...

    Thanks! Everything happens like it is meant to but I still regret letting the other LV get away, if only for its solid floors. :doh:

    Actually, the second picture is my wallpaper. I made some great memories with my daughter at a key time (middle school starts next month). If I lived where you did I would have likely stuck with the rust. It's just primer for now but I like that it doesn't contrast with the overall patina...

    I took the LV (and my 10-year-old daughter) on a trip to the mountains of NC and TN this past weekend which meant hours of interstate driving so as to reach miles of forestry roads and trails. While it didn't climb Black Mountain on I-40 as well as my FJ40, overall it performed well. I made...

    While that wasn't really my plan, it is reality for now. I spent more $ than I had planned on just getting them to primer. It seems there was some miscommunication between me and the guys I had do the work. I've done a little homework on fauxtina and suspect it will be some time before I have...

    I've been keeping busy the last several weeks, knocking things off my to-do list. Things have not always gone smoothly, but I'm making some headway. I finally got around to connecting the hard fuel line to the carb using the ferrule and part from JimC and mounting the fire extinguiser...

    Time for another update... John at JT Outfitters was very helpful. As changing out the line between the clutch master and slave cylinders made no difference, John sent a new slave cylinder via USPS Priority Mail. I re-used the rod that was on the LV when I bought her and problem solved...

    You are not alone in your suspicion. It is a process of elimination at this point and we're going to start with the lowest quality part and go from there. I'm hopeful the Aisin parts have a 1-year warranty and that JT Outfitters will help me get a replacement. Based on the bolts in the...

    1966 FJ45LV Resurrection

    Time for an update. It seems air is somehow getting into the clutch master, slave or the line connecting the two. The clutch pedal is soft but thankfully I've still been able to drive it. A couple club members were kind enough to come over and we looked the clutch over but could not find...

    They were able to use the four digit code on the locks for the tailgate and fuel door (matching #s). Unfortunately for me, they had to do an impression for the driver side door as the code was only three digits and wasn't in any of the books or on the websites. Probably another LV nuance. The...

    A couple weeks ago I finally took the time to have the rear drums turned. After checking a few places, I opted for the Goodyear by my house which charged $15 drum - a reasonable price in my opinion and very convenient. I can't say I can tell a difference in braking but I do have added peace of...

    Since the Meet and Greet, I have not touched the LV due to work and family commitments. I need to sit down and prioritize a new to-do list in hopes of driving the LV on the Hurricane Creek trip this coming July. At the top of the list for the LV is adding a distributor vacuum line which was...

    1966 FJ45LV Resurrection

    A lot has happened since my last post. I did find a replacement for the air filter (and no, I didn't take it off my lawnmower), I cobbled together a replacement the vacuum line set-up, replaced the power steering fluid return hose and a hose on the 60-series brake master cylinder and installed...

    You may be right on the add-a-leafs. I look forward to getting input from you and other club members in the weeks ahead as to things that can be done to improve the ride.:steer: I made a solo attempt on Friday and had just about gotten the valve cover w/ gasket in place when I realized I...
