Here is the gasketed tunnel after the adhesive cured and the gem clips were removed. The next morning the clip imprints in the foam rubber had pushed back up flush. Next step is to renovate the rear heater hoses that run along the passenger...

Just pull the engine, rebuild it.

I swapped a pre airbag Hilux steering wheel on mine. Best $5 I ever spent, works well with the power steering conversion.

I recently installed an FJ60 wheel on Lilred (1977 FJ40).It’s about an inch smaller in diameter but still easy to turn and steer with manual steering. Only modification was drilling and installing the two turn signal cancelling pins. Not sure if...

Not much for updates. Going to purchase a suspension kit from Redline LC's along with new body mounts. Once that gets going I'll share the progress. Just been enjoying driving the 40 to the beach and cruising around. Really wish I didn't...

Thanks for all of your reply's I really appreciate it. at this point im going to replace the rear brake cylinders as well and bench bleed the master cylinder. then bleed again from the right order. ill also look into adjusting the booster pushrod...

Being familiar with doing tile work, I opted to use a grout saw to take out the old seam sealer. HF had one with a saw blade that looked interesting…for $3!…so I bought it. Made a few passes with it for depth, then switched to a matte knife. 20...

I decided to organize my ongoing project progress as a Build instead of scattering threads randomly across the tech section. I’m going to have to pull a Star Wars … and start a bit after the middle. This is the story of Jolene, a 1968 FJ40 I...

I posed the question of whether anyone had seen a repository of information on OE hardware manufacturers and approximate manufacturing timelines. Not much response. But while the majority of folks are content to reassemble their projects with...

I recently purchased a non running 40 which I’m ecstatic about as it’s been my dream car, but I’m pretty inexperienced when it comes to all this as this is my first project car. I’m looking for some advice on a couple questions. First off I...

I'm in Mississippi if you don't find anyone closer. That's what I do. That's all I do. I'll come get it too. Tilda Bogue Service Station

I’ll buy it from you if you can’t figure it out. I think it’s a reverse light switch and bracket for a column shift 3 speed. It mounts to the steering box near the linkage.

thought this would be interesting to post:

If you decide not to tackle it yourself, I rebuild two or three Landcruiser carburetors every week at my shop. My contact info is in my avatar and signature line.

Take the 14mm cap off that sits above the fuel inlet. From there, You can tap on the float needle with a paper clip to make sure gas is getting into the carb. If the truck will run on the starter fluid, and fuel is getting into the bowl, then...

Closing out this thread. The problem was a grounding issue. While I prefer powder coating over painting, the one problem with it is grounding. The inside of the casing and the ends cannot be powder coated. The starter needs direct contact with...

Hey All, I'm posting this to help others who may need the information. I spent a ridiculous amount of time researching this here on Mud and I couldn't come up with a definitive answer/source besides either new, custom built or old, widened...

Your two complaints seem at odds with each other to me. I'm no suspension guru but... Being tippy indicates soft suspension, your wife's complaint sounds like harsh suspension. I would think you would want to keep the softer springs even if...

The truck is off the trailer, and my next step will be swapping out the rear axle to make it, at least, a roller. I attached my relay rod so that it can be steered once it rolls. I am almost definitely going to do a Marlink setup like @The...

A few weeks ago I found this 1982, SR5, pickup rusting away in a junkyard here in rural Alabama. It has been dead for a long time, and has had the rear axle shafts, rear diff, and a few miscellaneous pieces robbed from it, including the relay...

The 3 speed has a non syncronized 1st gear and folks struggle with that. As Charlie mentioned, pedal height adjustment, pedal freeplay adjustment, then clutch rod adjustment, to get the most throw you can. Freeplay adjustment is when the...

And finally the never really complete, last photos….also the mug shots for the insurance company. A little flex shot. Fluid film will be applied soon to prevent any further rust and give the patina a nice wet look. The goal of this thread is...

What does it look like under the coverplate of the crossmember? I wouldn’t make the effort to try and save the original left framerail without knowing that.

Maybe I'm missing something, but it doesn't look that bad to me. Rather than cutting and welding the frame, which I think would involve fish plating the repair (which makes it obvious the frame was repaired) why not take the frame to a shop...
