The first really big project didn't come up until summer time. I started to notice in driving that my temperature was getting worryingly high and quickly approaching overheating territory. In browsing the forum I found that the Taurus 2-Speed fan...
Ill be keeping the rear drums for now, but wanted to keep it Toyota disc while getting the braking solid and safe. I'm open to suggestions right now for suspension, I almost fell down the rabbit hole on the HFS vs OME debate. I also had a local...
I received my turn signal lights from CCOT this afternoon and I just couldn’t wait to install them, so I slapped them on..!
My lights were very old. The color on the bodies were faded and they had developed rust on the bottom mount. They were...
I am about to swap out the sbc and swap in the 2f I have been fixing up! I am very excited to be all toyota! The stage is set I just need to begin this coming weekend. I am in the last days driving around with the sbc.
I have an invoice from 1977 where the driver side spring pack was replaced due to being “deformed” at 1408 miles and leaning and 47 years later it’s starting to lean again. 😂 like you said I think it’s part of owning a 40.
@bernardbar3 I had taken photos of my girlfriend all around my 1974 FJ40 back in 1975…. That Land Cruiser has seductive energy… 49 years later they’re both still here. Although the cruiser is different, The girlfriend is the same except I...
Constructed an idea I had thought up awhile back for a spare tire upper brake light on my 1975 Fj40. For more info on it and the thinking behind it see my build thread here...
Pulled rear driveshaft to make working on the rear shims a little easier but mainly wanted to check spline engagement to make sure I don’t drop a driveshaft at full droop. I started by marking where driveshaft sits at ride height with yellow...
This looks like a fun project. Found a few YT tutorials with similar ideas.
Could easily 3d print a case, or shove it in a gutted fuse box and no one would be wiser.
Cruiser outfitters is probably my first choice. Just for reference, I have OME springs and bushings.
I hear the voices that say the damper is necessary and I can’t say they are wrong. All I can say is I haven’t noticed any detrimental effects...
Hello all, long time lurker, first time member here at mud.
Current project is a 1969 FJ40. I'm resealing the motor, doing a 60 series front disc conversion, upgrading the aging suspension, and I'm hoping to put electric power steering on this...
I have been following this forum for years and thought it was about time I shared my journey with my beast.I am the owner of a 1974 FJ40 named Frog.I have owned it since 1987 and purchased it from my father.He purchased it in 1980 and before that...
Been waiting a long time for this post. I upgraded my garage!
The before photo
... and the after photo (13 years after).
It was restored by Amazonia 4x4
It was manufactured in November 1971 so I don't know if I have a 1971 or 1972 FJ40. I...
Rebuilt & restored a 2/76 Asian Carburetor 21100-61032. Also, got tired of the PO’s fuel line and decided to make a new one. Since I upgraded my fuel pump to the 1979+ 23100-61050 type, I only need to make a single pipe. Used 5/16” cupro...
