Land Cruiser Junky

I don’t generally get excited about new parts but the fact that you can still get a radiator for a 58 year old truck new from Toyota is shocking even for me. The original finally gave up. A few dollars and 30 minutes later and the LV is god to...

After getting the fuel pump in I noticed a few times it took longer to crank before the engine would fire...back to the FSM and MUD. I found a few threads talking about the cold start injector and also the Time delay switch so I figured I would...

Yesterday I adjusted the valves to try an quiet a few down and it worked like a champ, I followed some advice on this thread to keep the engine nice and hot and loosen everything as well as having all the tools out and ready. It worked great...

Started with a few small things, tried to get all power locks and power windows working, found a bad window motor and two back door lock actuators were aftermarket and bad, so I ordered some. I also found this really nice wiring so I soldered...

Thank you Sir. I've got a FJ40 that I've had for 46 years and a '65 45LV, but yeah l love the FJ60. It's my daily driver and my favorite LC.

This is truly the best... pretty fantastic rig too.

I thought I'd throw this in on this thread. 1st pic 1990 when we were young men, 2nd Pic 2018, 3rd pic 2025 a bunch of old guys. 😝 All in Death Valley, CA.

Figured, thanks. It’s cool.

Did the Australian Door Cards fall apart? How did you make the new panels? Also, I love this thread! It reads like an epic novel and I hope to follow in your footsteps. I just got my first 60, same year and color but no mods. Thanks for posting...

The Aussie door cards were great, except they were very thin. They were about 1/16" thick and warped pretty badly over time. The new panels are 1/8" thick ABS l bought on Amazon. I used the Aussie panels as patterns, cut the ABS with a jigsaw and...

Slumberjack. Available on Amazon for about $100. It is great shade. I added more poles, l believe it came with 3.

No it doesn't. My kids are grown and l have been sleeping in the back since 2009 so l made a permanent sleep platform for my wife and l. Plus now l am always carrying sleeping bags, pillows, 2 weeks of dehydrated food and 5 gallons of water and...

Reagan ‘84 :cool:

Spent a week in the Death Valley desert. My favorite place on the planet.

I drove the 60 from Tennessee to California to meet the guys I've been wheeling with for the last 38 years in the Death Valley desert. After driving this vehicle since 2009 with the stock drive train and now with the LS and 6L80, what a...

Building up a sleeping platform, with a bare bones drawer set up! Slowly coming together...

about half of what they are worth! :D
