You need a 61030 head gasket. 4/84 to end, I believe. The gasket kit above has the earlier 61010 head gasket. You will have to buy the gaskets individually, or call cruiseroutfit and they can put together what you need. At a minimum you...

Plenty of options in stock @ Cruiser Outfitters. OEM, Japanese, full engine overhaul gasket kits, valve grind (head gasket) kits, etc. For example for a 12/84+ FJ60...

Clutch cover and disc, flywheel, starter, and bell housing removed. Motor on the stand ready to start taking stuff off tomorrow.

Tranny/transfer and motor out.

I have no help to give, but I also have the same problems and concerns with the mats out of the 45, except I have the added problem of contact cement where the PO glued a cover mat all over the OEM floormats. So, if any body has help for that (as...

Looking for any tips on cleaners and what to do and or to avoid when cleaning up an original floormat? Any products you guys have had good luck with. I was thinking of bleach white tire cleaner as it restores the look of old tires... not sure if...

Great truck for someone who has been looking for one. Not going to find a better truck from an honest Cruiser Head…Great job Nolan…someone will be very very happy.

City Racer has nice stock fuse block, usually in stock.

Next phase started. Only motor mounts connected, motor ready to hook to the picker.

With the physical install of the Dakota Digital complete, it was time for programming/calibration set up. Again very straight forward, with just the speedo and fuel sender calibration requiring more than pushing buttons in the correct sequence to...

Tonight was my night, and my FJ was part of it

You might try turning the switch on/off a bunch of times to try and clean the contacts. Actually cleaning all the contacts is a good idea. Checking the wires for continuity is a good plan too. Some designs have a 2nd flasher can for the...

This was sure nice to see. Between Ramadan, then a mistaken but still in charge port inspector, the Houtis doing the usual in the west and then the Iran events shutting down the east, I wasnt sure this would ever depart. @Meshal was the man and...

Bump.....

Took it for a Sunday drive with a couple of old friends.

If you are looking for an FJ40 that you want to inspect yourself, I suggest opting for US specs. You have numerous options that come up for sale throughout the year, and many of them are already upgraded. But if you want a 45 "pickup, not a...

Unless you fly to Saudi Arabia you won't be laying hands on it before you buy it. I've bought in a few on my dime for other people and it ties up too much money and I've had them back out on me after they arrive. You want one I'm here to...

While doing the Dakota Digital install, one of the sensors that is replaced with a proprietary DD one is the water temp. Since I was there working on the block to get the right bushings installed for the new sensor, I wanted to get a supply...
