Hello all, long time lurker, first time member here at mud.
Current project is a 1969 FJ40. I'm resealing the motor, doing a 60 series front disc conversion, upgrading the aging suspension, and I'm hoping to put electric power steering on this beauty. Any help or tips are always appreciated.
Bought this truck a couple of years ago and sadly need to let it go. It runs but it does need some love. I don’t think the odometer is accurate, but it’s showing ~237k. The body is pretty much rust free aside from the lower inside panel on the driver side. I have it in one of the pictures. I’m...
Hey all, I bought a 1979 HJ45 Australian Troopy less than a year ago and am working to get it running again. It came with the H engine that was seized (I got it to move a bit, but one of the cylinders is rusted). The rust is pretty typical rust front floors and some around the wheel wells and...
I asked @roadstr6 to help find me a 60 and 23 minutes later....
I was looking for a project for me and my son; crockpot has been trouble free for two years so I hope this is something we can work on, swear at, and enjoy for many years. Thanks to John Whitley for parting with it.

Now that I’m 40, it’s time to slow down. And the best way to do that is to drop my transmission and transfer case for a Valley Hybrids Orion! Before I can step back on the Rubicon, my gearing needs to drop. So here is step one, removing the old to prep for the new.

I purchased a 1993 Land Cruiser several years ago. It ran great for a couple of years. I started having issues with a rich code and problems with the distributor. About 6 months ago it wouldn't start so I parked it. I recently decided to work on it again, had a mechanic look at it who replaced...
I purchased this truck out of Tucson from the original owner. It was amazingly complete and rust free. he had it stored under multiple layers of tarps to protect it from the weather. It did not have an engine or transmission so it made a perfect candidate. My goal was to have an original early...
Need a little help here. I have an idea for a project here at home, and I need a counter device that will count how many times a 120V device runs each day. I don't need to know how long it ran (hour meter won't work), just a count of how many. Cumulative is preferred, I don't need/want it to...

some hard to find items and project ideas that will never become projects.
Alright!
I am finally part of the Land Cruiser community! Never realized how special these vehicles are to people until I hopped on this forum, and of course, when I finally drove it myself. I'm in love.
This thread is part for all of you, but mostly for me to keep a story board of what I have...

I bought my first land cruiser, a 1984 BJ60 from a gentleman out in Manitoba. He was the second owner and purchased it in...
I have my hands full on a number of projects.
If you’re looking for a basically rust free body and frame with relatively low miles (156K) as a starting point maybe this one will work.
However - to start off. The motor is locked up :/
There is a replacement motor with high compression numbers...
