Matt,

Thanks for the pics. Like you said they are definitely nothing to write home about, but should be enough there to get me started. The upper compound bends are what I was most worried about and they seem to be fine. Attached is a pic where to cut them both. After looking at my pic of the floor holes again, I should just be able to patch that with some small pieces of sheet metal so I guess I can skip that. I will shoot you a PM too with the details. Thanks a ton for this, it will be a big help.

Adam,

Got your PM. Posted a pic of what I cut out, you'll be getting a little more than you asked for. Just because it was easier for me to connect the rust dots and cut less to get these pieces out. Figured you can cut back what you don't want.

On another note.......

Also posted up a pic of what is left of the box. Once the wheel wells were cut out, the floor literally collasped upon itself. I made 2 cuts on both front corners and threw it in a pile. Not sure if anyone can use anything else, but it's pretty much the sides...and not much at that.

I spent the majority of the day cleaning and I was going through the piles of parts I got from the guy in B.C. when I picked up the truck. Took a pic of this evap unit that was in the boxes of stuff I got, but haven't had time to go through until now........what the hell is a FJ40LV???

........what the hell is a FJ40LV???

Matt

A left-hand drive hard top FJ40.

There are all sorts of designations that define rear door style (amby, tailgate, etc.), transmission, etc.

For example, the full designation of my truck is HJ47-KCQ

H: engine type
J: production line
47: model
K: 4 spd
C: Ambulance doors
Q: built for Australia

There's an implied RV after the HJ47, to signify RHD and soft top.

Yea...what Steve said...


Been meaning to shoot you a PM...and still will. I wanted to go bad!! But, last week was the County fair and that is a big deal up in these parts....kinda almost required to be there....like work. I just got the carb back from Mark A. last Thursday, so it was cutting it close anyway. It still sucked missing it though, I was yacking about it to the wife for weeks and while I was at the fair.

On another note you might like.....Got back last night at 2 pm. Went to the the Nickleback, Stained and Puddle of Mudd concert in G.F. last night. Umm......that was 4.5 hours of fun!!! ;p

Not quite...unless we went in the river...and that would be the end


Went to Moose Lake up in Canada..about a 45 minute drive. Plan on heading back up this Sunday again...I'll take few photos of the 45 in action.

Not that anyone cares, but if it involves pics of Landcruisers....figured you guys wouldn't mind. The lpb has been getting some miles on it the last few weeks, mostly up into Canada a few weekends in a row tugging jet skis.

Heard about a car show a couple days before Saturday in Thief river falls, MN (about 60 miles away). And of course....me being me, I want to make sure the kids know theres more out there than the Detroit product Talked the wife into going, so Saturday morning she drove the lv and I drove the lpb down to TRF. Stopped at the car wash and cleaned both of them up before we drove over there. They had a great turn out, about 175 cars.

Few pics of the the Toyota stuff and a few of some other junk that was there.....oh, and the wife also sitting around having fun. ;p
