Hi John, and John. If I understand it looks like you may have an A top sitting on C bows. The closest thing I could remember was when Mike and I tried Phils top on Mike's A type bows. The pics show that for the bows to work correctly the top would have to be taller in the back, raking slightly...

I've got a set of good five lug steelies with brand new lug nuts, from when I was messing around with tires on the 200. Might even have usable tires on them.

Thanks for the reminder of why I undeleted this thread a while back. I decided to release the file to @red66toy to include on his site here: Land Cruiser Factory Service Manuals (FSMs) - https://www.cruisercult.com/factory-service-manuals Haven't checked back in with him but most if not all of...

Just realized the 2009 manual link is long dead, so dropping it here.

@JohnnyC Thank YOU!!!!!!

Nothing more fun than using one of these in stock form for what they are designed. As mentioned, be cautious and drive smooth and smart. There is no need to defeat every obstacle or beat it into submission … you’re out to complete the route. On stockish tires the original drivetrain is fine if...

8155060011 is not what you need. To make a FJ25 tail light you need a bib light from Mr T (or one of the vendors) and a reproduction red lens (the red and clear reproductions were cast from the amber SAE67). Just be aware that the bib light uses a dual filament socket (1157) but only uses one...

Nothing but a light switch over there on that 84 petrol rig. Pretty basic though with the 4speed, I can't believe it got power steering and disc brakes. ;)

Not sure what you’re asking, but the 25 brake is an external band with internal drum unlike the 40 which is an external drum with internal shoes. It does look like everything is present. If the brake lever does not ratchet to hold the brake the spring and shaft inside the lever is likely frozen.

Actually more of a survivor.....one of the few that was running, driving and mostly unmolested when picked up (buggery done by a previous owner). Back in the day when I thought every one had to be saved, all it really needed was to be driven. :eek: This rig likes to run, take it out and have...

Cross posting this auction for @foxfab as I don't think he realizes how little traffic the FJ25 Classified Section really gets. :grinpimp: This is an auction on Clasiq which includes that rare honest description and inspection report of a solid rig you can wheel or restore.

Hey, anyone still using this in 2021? 🦕 I just realized when trying to read the file on my own computer that my old Adobe Acrobat Reader 9 was uninstalled in December. The new Acrobat Reader DC it was replaced with does not read portfolios, which is what the files set up on the CD were...

I didn't see in the thread where you said you adjusted the wheel cylinders correctly. If you haven't tried, adjust them all so they are hard on the drum. And when I say hard, you can't turn the adjuster or the drum anymore. Then, if you are bled correctly you will have a hard pedal. Eight...

Cleaned up, resealed, with a new motor, ready to be mounted and plumbed up.
