@davework, do you offer captive bolt sets? Thank you

Willing to ship ?

The heavier steel of the early models is nice, and you can more often, find early models in better rust condition than later models. My only drawback to the early bodies are the damn doors... They were built, maybe even more so, simple than the rest of the truck.

This is a classic "while I'm in there" instances... I think the most significant improvement you can make, is a new cam shaft. That being said, your in that deep you may as well balance the rest of the motor... $$ We'll have your money spent in no time...

In my experience, KO3's are a superior tire.

Hello all, I'm looking for seat foam for my '76 FJ40. Specifically, I'm looking for the back foam for the front seats. Much appreciated.

I would also think about installing a windshield film to protect you from rocks. You will get rocked, there is really no avoiding it. The trucks hauling Iso tanks will not slow down, those are the one in particular you need to slow way way down for. Also, if you don't have one already, add a CB...

You won't find any parks in Deadhorse, there are a few hotels though. It'll be nice to have a shower and decent bed to sleep in, once your off that road...

I've done it a few times, with a short wheelbase, I would be very couscous. That road can be slicker than snot... Have breakfast and dinner at Coldfoot, I wouldn't stay there though. Right up the road is Wiseman, there are a couple B&B's, and the town has a great historical museum. Also the Fish...

Thread bump, is Dave still fabricating Land Cruiser gear ? Thanks

According to the caption of this photo, developed in 1970. Pretty cool, clearly above the Arctic Circle. 40 series.

Yes, anything later model Land Cruiser will work.

@Coolerman will have all the OEM wire and connectors you'll need.

The later model instrument clusters are significantly different in terms of wiring. My '81 is modular with a single multi plug connection, for instance.

My first thought, is where are you finding 34" tires...haha I don't think you'll have too much issue, rubbing in the front of the back wheel well is the first place you'll have issues...
