Back from the paint shop! Cheers

Our first tank of fuel, used 23.5gal and did 405 miles. 17.25mpg. We are also not driving it for mpg rather for break in procedures. Cheers

VDJ79 vacuum reservoir comes up active in the Toyota USA system from my local dealer. Maybe try that? 44740-60290

Great work @Outsane !

In classic fashion, I lost the injection line hold down clamps. Stedman for the win again.

Greetings, I have two wide nose 70/79 series snorkels for sale. Though they are wide nose specific, some folks in this forum have installed these on 40’s, 55’s, 60’s and other cruisers. Asking $100 each. Also have all the interior trim pieces...

Everyone should have one for their shelf! I have another one I’m keeping in case I need it sometime. I have a FT going into my troopy soon.

And for those wondering if I would build any of these again, hate to disappoint, but no. I will be 70 years old in a few months and am retired from my career as well as retired from harness building. I still have my FJ62 and my son and I are in...

In fact, I'll share all the schematics and diagrams. Here are the ones for the FJ40:

Congrats on your new 60 Series purchase next week!!! That one is fortunately straightforward and included instructions. The new product was the FJ62 fusible link replacement kit. Whoever has that, please get with me!

Averaged over 17 miles per gallon over ~650 miles. Most of the time it could manage posted speed limits. I was not in a hurry. The journey IS the destination.

Ready to get this moved. I am still working on the stretch 40 but had a health scare. Couple more Dr appointments to get things figured out. Swapped doors to my stretch 40. These were not bad but the others didn’t require any work. $4500.

Diesel unicorn material here. (I already bought one for the shelf)

1HD-FT timing gear cover. Ended up with one extra one. $360 shipped continental US.

I loved looking in my rearview mirror only to see @Beastiethe70 “Hmmm, that kinda looks like a really narrow truck. Is it a 70 series?” “ Yes, that’s totally a 70… Wait, it’s silver, is that Maggie?!?!?” “YASSSSSSSSS!!!!”

Popped off the input shaft retainer bearing There are two sensors on the transmission. The one on the side is for reverse lights but the one on the top isn't used in an 80 Series. It's for cruisers with the 1VD-FTV - it senses when the...

Thank @FJ73Texas for sending the original

Chilling in Morrison after some needed maintenance, final stretch home on Thursday. My wheel bearing on the P side was loose, my clutch fluid was roasted, my air filter was filthy and most of my interior was dropping screws. A new air filter, a...

Thanks to all the organizers for another great SAS.

Thanks to Casey and crew for an amazing event! We decided to keep the spirt alive and remote camped in one of my favorite spots on the San Juan on the way to Flagstaff.

SAS swag trailer landed safely back home about an hour ago. We are simply humbled by the feel of community with all of you knuckleheads. A special thanks to @CenTXFJ60, @BombCity, @RocketCityCrzrs @cornboy , @80Lady, @mesa man , @Mesa Woman ...
