Chungas Revenge

Post up a “Wanted” add in the classified Section.

I just purchased a 1983 BJ40 diesel Landcruiser from Italy. It is being shipped to Canada in the next few weeks. Vehicle is in great condition. It came from Toyota with with no rear jump seats. This is my first 40 series and I would like to...

Upon reading the thread 'fuel cut solenoid' that is currently up here, I decided to start up my engine, get it up to temp and with idle speed inceased a bit, choke knob in, I disconnected the wire to the solenoid. No change whatsoever. Same idle...

My lowest compression number is now 160 and the others continue to climb with the truck's new life after mostly sitting for 20 years. #1 and #6 are now 175. I have the carb off, and have lightly surfaced it's base flange on my diamond whetstone...

Craig, if you can spray carb cleaner in the PCV (while removed from the truck) and hear the ball rattle, move on to the next thing. I haven’t gone back through your thread, but I assume you have the PCV hooked up to the insulator under the carb...

Shake it vigourously, you should hear a ”rattle”. When the valve is stuck, due to sludge build up, it won’t move. The carb cleaner removes the sludge and allows the valve to move freely. I had the same issue. Used the spray and a good soak in...

Ok, I took it off and sprayed carb cleaner in it. Before I sprayed it in there I didn't hear anything rattling. Once I cleaned it I could here something in there, but I'm not sure what sound I'm looking for?

With the oil filter in that location everything needs to be clocked 60 degrees. #1 will be basically pointing right at the block, or a little bit past. And if this is an initial break in, I would clock it even more, so I could bump up the timing...

Man that thing looks incredible. I might not even want to drive it for fear of a bug scuffing it.

Found a guy near me selling 6 rims which seemed to be the wagon style wheels, 4 were painted black and dated 16x6” 90 build and two chrome wheels, one which is the chrome split. So for $80 we have 5 new rims and a 16x5.5 chrome split which l will...

Decided to dig into the OEM seats in have and see about restoring them. Well one at a time. Spent time figuring out how they come apart. I did take the rear seats all the way out. I’m going to clean them all up too. I'm going to get the rear seat...

Thanks for the help @73FJ40 and @Steamer

Just finished painting mine and went with Massey Ferguson Gray. Purchased from Tractor Supply.

From what I've gathered over the years of seeing this issue, seems like the flasher switch requires a certain amount of voltage to pass through to close/open the switch, but the voltage coming through when both/all 4 lights, flash is sufficient...

That look like a very salvageable tub. Mine had more holes in it than that.

1994 Toyota Pickup DLX 22re 4x4 About 223k on the odometer with a fully remanufactured 22re longblock engine from Sunwest automotive in Oregon. The new engine has approximately 15,000 miles on it. Please see screenshot in the photos for details...

Yeah it sucks getting old

Looks like an import. Good chance it's a mix of years. I had an 82 imported 45 once. It was my one LC purchase I was just as excited when I sold it as I was when I bought it 😂.

Where did you get the kit? Are they able to give you a 'Bill of Materials' and tell you where/which seal to use? If its a TR47586 kit from Cruiser Outfitters, that will have 3 seals. One input (all model 4spds) and two different t-case input...

The hub of the T-case input gear goes through that seal.

No seal used there. Here is mine freshly pulled:

@airon23 I’ve got a 1976/77 cowl and rear harness on my table. Within my testing environment, I’m experiencing the same issue as many others. The flasher relay works with the flasher switch “ON” but when the turn signal column switch is...
