I've noticed the same trend and it is a lot more difficult to source FJ40 parts than a couple of years ago. Not sure why though, there are plenty of FJ40 style landcruisers here in Oz, maybe only the later models and not the 60's and early 70's? I've got a similar issue with extremely high...

Yes I am in Melbourne, Australia

I recently bought those rubber seals from simonp7439 on eBay " Landcruiser FJ40,FJ43,FJ45 Headlight bucket gaskets 1963-1971 Restoration Part. ". This eBay seller is located in Australia and I'm not sure if he posts to international destinations but you could at least ask him. Good luck.

Great work, good to see another old cruiser being saved! Rather than having to take the heaters apart and see what can be swapped, have you considered using a DC to DC converter that uses the 12V from the battery to create a 24V supply? Electronic shops do sell theses modules. I know it is not...

Correct, the photos show the tail lights I have on my truck. A couple of years ago I managed to buy a whole tail light assembly on eBay, the seller unfortunately didn't have another one. New reproduction lenses are available from eBay (e.g. Toyota Heritage) and I have been in contact with them...

Thanks for clarifying that. I'm aware of the tail lights with the little lense to light up the license plate, but I've also seen pictures of an FJ45LPB with the red/amber type tail lights that look identical to mine. See this post for example: Wanted - FJ45 round reflectors and brackets Isn't it...

Kourosh, I'm looking for two Combi Lamps (Tail Light). part no. 81560-36010 (LH) and 81550-36010 (RH). Here in Australia they were used on the FJ40 model (mine is a 1970 model), in the USA thery were used for a FJ45LPB model. I don't believe there is any difference between the LH and RH models...

Have a look at eBay and search for 'FJ25-28, FJ40,FJ43,FJ45-V.Crank,Starting Handle guide.1958-1984 Restoration Part'. The seller, 'SJP Parts' has these as a reproduction (laser cut). Link to the store: SJP PARTS | eBay Stores

1970 FJ40 - Date: 12/70 - VIN: FJ40-92119 - Model: FJ40 FST - Engine: F331163 - Color: T303 (Fashion Green) - Country: Australia

Thank you very much for posting the picture, it will help me a great deal. I might be able to modify the seat I have and make it hinge instead of mounting it fixed to the floor. This will allow access to the toolbox without the seat in the way. It looks like it is the same construction as for a...

I'm trying to bring my 1970 FJ40 back to original as much as possible and one of the issues I have is the front bench seat with the toolbox underneath. The FJ40 is a right hand drive model (Australia) and has the bench seat on the left, not on the right as is the case with US models. When I...

Obviously the app crashed three times and it seemed no photos were uploaded...

Number 683, a 1970 SWB FJ40, still driveable, very original and very little rust. Will be restored soon. Wanted to upload a photo but app keeps crashing.
