At first I thought they just reversed the image until I realized the mirror would be in his face. Need to raise the bar on the talent search..........can confirm that singing over the road noise of that truck is an acquired skill.

I know there must be good local examples that would have been perfect for this, but glad someone got to be out on that track..........:steer:

Or never leave. First time this has done anything worthwhile in a few years, fortunately I didn't disturb any of that fine patina of barn find grime. Sometimes you just need that dead weight of a Land Cruiser:

I came here to commiserate with the handful of people who found themselves the eternal caretakers of 25's and early 40's. If I recall correctly, we had to ask for this cozy little corner to feel all safe and protected from the general population. ;)

Merry Christmas everyone! Its a miracle that most of us are still here! Enjoy your friends and family, while they’re still stuck with you! :bounce::bounce2:

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.
