Please tell me you still have the drivers side headlight

I have a 79 with factory power steering thats pouring out fluid from the box too! I was actually about to pull it off and send it to West Texas but now I'm a little scared. How much is Red Head charging and how long is their lead time?

I totally thought it was a total repaint when I took the top off. It certainly looks like one but the VIN plate under the hood confirms rustic green

After reading through some of this thread, I took some laquer thinner to that section of the top I posted above. Really wishing I hadn't of done that, but I guess I'm kind of committed at this point. I'm just going to wait to go forward until someone gives me their thoughts.

Ok so I just bought this 79 FJ40. 44k original miles and (supposedly) original paint. The guy who had it before me (he only had it for a week before I got it off him) did something to the hood, fender, and flare to make it look like it has. He said he used a paint scraper and took off a layer of...

So I bought a 79 FJ40, runs and drives perfect, 4 speed, factory power steering, pretty much all original. Really nice truck! The whole thing needs repainted, the paint is pretty oxidized and just toast from years in the sun, so when I bought it a total repaint was already in its future. I'm not...

Small world, I live in Mountain Brook about two minutes away from the Publix you mentioned. I'm wondering how I've never seen you, I thought I knew about all the Land Cruisers around town! To answer your question though, as you know, theres LOTS of Land Cruiser love around Birmingham.

I have a non locked 1997 FZJ80, the previous owner had some toggle switches installed where the diff lock switch would have been. They don't go to anything, and are kind of broken and dingey looking. I just want to get the blank cover to fill that area, but I'm having a hard time locating one

Damn. I know for a fact when the alternator fuse on a gx470 blows that exact same thing happens but theres no power to anything without the key on. If you press the shift lock can you manually shift out of park and drive it?

Does anything work without the ignition on? Like the dome lights, door locks, power seat? If NOTHING seems to work until you have the key in the ignition I would suggest checking all your fuses because you most likely have a blown one. I know the Alternator fuse will do this, I also thing the...

As a dealer, whenever I get a older LX/LC in inventory they both usually get a good amount of attention fairly quickly but wow when it's a LC I'm getting phone calls from all over the country for the first few days and everyone asks about rust (even when it's been in AL its entire life....)...

I absolutely think it's too much. I would never think that I'd be able to sell that car for that much. I also think it's one of the nicest, cleanest, and looks to be one of the most well taken care of examples I've seen in a long time. And I've seen A LOT of people pay 10k for one with 190k...

I'm in the southeast and it's not at all like that. If you have one from a bad rust state (Ohio, Vermont, Maine, Illinois, etc) it might as well be worthless. But a clean vehicle with minor rust will still sell like crazy, especially white/tan. They just come up for sale so infrequently over...

It's wholesale, so someone would probably buy it and put it for sale for like $10,800. I think $9900 is max money with 250k on it though.

Surely he was being sarcastic To clarify, I'm a dealer, this car is states away, and I have zero oppertunity to inspect it. But it's super clean, really nice set of good Michelins on it, I see the timing belt sticker under the hood, both keys, by the time I have it in front of me I'll probably...
