Evening all, I just picked up a Toyota radiator for my '96 80-Series for $341. Central Florida Toyota have an April promotion of 25% discount on all parts. Strange thing is that the discount only shows up when you go to check out.

This...or better yet, a 1980s dizzy... (says the guy who hates points)

Sounds like it’s time for a Pertronix…..never worry about points again.😎

I have 33' tires on my 80 series and a ARB bumper. It'd be a reach to get 300 miles with little reserve left (14 mpg x 22 gal). Lots of people wanted the AUS aux tank...

IMO, every Toyota I’ve ever owned has too small a fuel tank. Cars and trucks. And when they squeeze more mileage out of a new model, they shrink the fuel tank to ensure you don’t get satisfactory range.

I cannot recall Toyota offering a sub tank on anything in the US.

I wouldn't plan on an OEM sub tank being available here in the USA.

I don't google anything.

Luxury+ with 20”+ wheels are less likely to go off-road. The whole point of eKDSS is that it effectively disconnects the sway bars when off-road. This allows for having stiff sway bars for reduced sway while on road cornering while still...

Nice looking rig. Re: taking your rig to the dealership, I’d be very careful- those techs are not gonna be up to speed on working on a 75 carbureted rig. Much better to find a local specialty shop (expertise and price wise) or even a mom and...

Electronic gremlins!? In a bespoke European vehicle full of BMW parts!!?? Who could have predicted this!!!???

While it looks close to a FJ25 four speed the top cover is one solid piece. Appears to be the same on the 40 series early four speed. This is a top cover from an FJ25. What engine do you have? Not a F engine could possibly be some transmission...

This looks more like a FJ25 four speed transmission. Transfer case was cast iron not aluminum. It also did not have a low range. Toyota used three speed in the US up to 1974 in the 40 series. 72 and 73 a four speed was offered in some markets...

All 2F (75-84) 40s have a feed and return from tank to the fuel pump. Fuel pump to carb fuel line is dependent on fuel pump/carburetor.

See the attached drawing showing exactly how to wire the alternator to the regulator. This drawing is for 1970 but is the same as the 1968. WB = White/Black, WR = White/Red, WG = White/Green The 1968 FJ40 has a separate reverse light. It is not...

Another unit completed for a mudder! I don’t have a pic right now, but I am also fabbing new nylon grease retainers for these.

Not on mine.
