I have a set of Toyota OEM Euro/Aussie Style Side Mirrors for an FJ60/62. They are in nearly new condition with good gaskets. $250 plus shipping at whatever it cost UPS Ground. Shipping from 22901 and box is 13" x 13" x 8" 4 lbs. Below is...
Correct. My truck is a '78 General Markets/Columbian spec that I am Americanizing. It came with the split front bench and long jump seats, no roll bar. To install the US spec buckets, short jump seats, and roll bar new holes needed to be drilled...
Reupholstered seats are finally in!
I switched from a bench setup and long jump seats to buckets and short jump seats. I tried to keep everything as factory as possible. Re-did the seats, OEM roll bar re-done, powder coated the bar and seat...
On the road for a couple weeks away from my dearly Beloved 40, so I brought little guy along for the ride to make vroom-vroom noises on my hotel bed 4x course.
Engine mounts welded in. Saginaw box and adapter kit in. Advance Adapters sold me the FJ60 transfer case support/crossmember but it isn’t going to work. Will order the propeller mount.
Coolest thing though was being able to adapt my original...
Finally able to get out to the truck and do the headlamp kit… simple job but did anyone at Toyota ever measure the distance between these head lights?
I’ll get under the truck and place that wire properly as my knee feels better but there is a...
Got the shop cleaned up enough to chip away a bit on this. Minimal body and paint planned, just want to get it back on the road (and off) and enjoy it.

I installed the rack lights a few nights ago but hadn’t installed the harness or powered up the lights, untill today. The switches work great and the lights are extremely bright. The three 5” ambers are blinding bright.
Sadly, the harness is...
This week.
-Repaired light wiring. I had all kinds of things messed up at the turn signal switch.
-installed a brake light switch- now all lights function
- adjusted valves, new gasket: so much quieter

Did a valve adjustment per the FSM. It went a lot smoother than the last time. I used a remote starrer to get near TDC and a crow's foot wrench on the large pulley to get it right on the line. To me, anyway, it was a whole lot easier than...
Found a box of 30 round assorted grommets in a box today from 1/2” to 2”. Don’t ever remember ordering them but the attached note tells me they were $10.00 . Several of them fit the firewall and floor on my FJ40
Got this 1” coolant cap for the...
