That’s awesome history to have. No offense intended, the font on your vin plate just looked odd to me. None of my cruisers have had that font. I also have a 1982 Colombian FJ43.

Is that repro vin plate?

Swoon 😍

I also made an air inlet tube for between the air filter and MAF meter. Pretty happy with that as well. Oh and I need to post the pic of the junction block on the frame rail to "complete" the brake line post above... also shown is the junction...

Pulled the master tonight, no residual valves in either cylinder. That wasn’t unexpected, I searched up an old thread from Kurt that listed this equivalent MC (Aisin BMT-040) as not having any residual valves either. Happy to find the rear seal...

Oddly enough, wood glue on the overlaps and regular amounts of tape to hold it together works VERY well.

Maybe you’re confused about my post. I clearly stated the part was listed on the Heritage parts list. That’s why I posted here in the first place. Edit: Adding link...

l source parts from all over... so far the best deals l'm getting are in Australia & Japan...

Few points I maybe wasn’t too clear on, and maybe I’m not totally sure. But, -all the normal domestic parts places were showing NLA. -the part number was listed in the heritage parts documentation on the Toyota website -there was only one vendor...

Sold!

Whole pile is spoken for via @FJ404345 ’s PM. Will let you know @RevISK if these become available again.

I’d like these switches and the emblems if still available. (Edit: server error keeps occurring and won’t let me upload an image. I would like the wiper and rear defrost switches) Thank you

Selling some parts off a brown interior 62 I parted out a number of years ago. All working when removed. Rear wiper switch $10 Mirror control switch $15 Antennae switch $10 Tcase 4high switch $15 Rear defrost switch $10 Cab rotary dimmer $20...

It fits? Not well enough yet.

I was tempted anyway, but your message was well timed! Ordered.

You’ll need to change that master cylinder to a regular disc/drum MC. Your’s (should) have a residual valve in the front circuit, and the fronts will drag if you don’t remove it. Alternatively, you can just remove the residual valve...

Great time at SAS 9! Truck is working great and rides much better.

Nothing too fancy, but got the new meats mounted up. Going to toss them on tonight and see if I can fit in/out of the garage!

Picked up more body parts this morning. Had a minor issue to be addressed post paint for the tub so will be a few days before I can pick it up. Happy with how the raptor liner turned out on the tranny & gas tank cover (also on underside of...

Check the bad vendor section. He was removed, or left on his own, a couple weeks ago. Not sure on the details because I never cared enough to follow along. But the thread is there.

Found a picture of the 1982 front drum brake axle. It’s been a while since I pulled the drums off my 1971, but they seemed much smaller, and I don’t remember the drums having heat ribs.

Then got to thinking about the master cylinder on this truck. Drum front and drum rear, 1982. Front drums were visually different than the early US drum fronts. Much beefier. Rears are the typical 60/62/80 drums. I wonder, will this master work...

Bent up new hard lines for the front axle, that move the tee over to the passenger side. Had to make up a bracket for the tee as well. Worked out well. Bending lines is interesting. Best to work slow. In my mind, I expected these to be super...
