Economist LC76's latest activity

These were first shown way back in post #447 of this thread. I speculated they were some sort of counterbalance. Learned they are just that. They are counterweights for Toyota tiller/cultivators made in the 50s-60s by Toyota Automatic Loom...

Great work. :clap:

Yep the diesel tranny has a longer fine spline input shaft and deeper bellhousing. I think it was just to keep the transmission in the stock location when switching from 6cylinder gas to the shorter 4 cylinder diesel ,the diesel needed the longer...

Genuine seats are not the best for the long trips. The spare set with the modern covers are much more practical. The OEM set stays for the exhibition I like the old style trailer socket. Now I have it also Ready for the new travels and upgrades

Some update on the project. 6000 km on the odometer. Few upgrades were helpful. Seat extension gives me fun to sit and to drive Speedometer light upgrade (white paint + extra watts) provides comfort for the night driving Trail cover helps to...

Thanks. It was several updates for the pto winch. The BJ4 shafts before and after 1979 stays the same (10.1981). The FJ4 shafts changed in 1979. PS interesting puzzle

I was converting Petrol FJ40 gearbox into Diesel BJ40/42version. On top of the input shaft there is a front bearing retainer problem. I think it is interesting to see the visual differences between FJ/BJ versions. To the “knowledge” library

Matt, Thanks for reminding me about this PTO thread. Re-reading it, there is a fantastic level of documentation far beyond what the manufacturer ever provided. My hat is off to Storno for a job very well done !

GOOD TECH :

My biggest complaint with this is how far out the hitch would extend. Looks like the multiple holes are for the original receiver and the one by the step is for receiver head with the ball. For towing it's better to extend the tongue on the...

Personally not a fan of the four bolt hitch drops below the rear frame member. Seen too many the had bent the frame member using the cruiser off road. They made pintle hooks that have a ball hitch included. I remove a custom hitch from a frame...

After some years it's about time for more pictures

Standard Vacuum Oil, Co., or Stanvac, was started in 1933 after the merging of Socony-Vaccum and Jersey Standard. In April of 1953, Toyota General sales signed an agreement with Stanvac for them to become Toyota's automobile lubricant supplier...

Those both came out of Japan. Restless nights mean deep diving the internet and looking for Land Cruiser and Toyota items.

Also stumbled across an old Denso Catalog, which if you look close has what I think is the early clam shell heater on the front. Lastly, found some kind of sticker that has the vintage Toyota parts logo on talking about "Winter Check"

Needed to add a little bling. Plated FJ45LV and Toyota first Car.

Toyota manufactured a bunch of vehicles with some pretty cool grill emblems over the years. Although not technically a grill emblem, this came off the front end of a 1st gen DR10/11/15 bus, produced from 1959 - 1969. For scale, the third picture...

I bought this tool box off eBay recently and just received it. The vendor has a bunch of the more common tool boxes for sale. I asked about the history and he shared that he acquired from and a warehouse of and old house. He said he expects...

I’ve got an interesting Toyota Land Cruiser book. Frame numbers in December 1962, based on the official data
