    Land Cruiser Heritage Parts Project

    Probably, but the difference for me is when it becomes compulsory and not by choice: and of course I reject the actual premise by which EVs came about.

    Land Cruiser Heritage Parts Project

    Thank you Kernal, pretty good list. I hope for everyone here that this will be successful. I think this helps all of the Vendors here on Mud and elsewhere. My 80 and 60 both do better with oem parts.

    New to me 1997 LX450

    Good looking truck. I did the same thing as far as buying without an in-person inspection a few years ago with my LX450. I found a one owner 1997 in Las Vegas and placed a deposit, flew there and drove it back home. Since it lived in Vegas since new the frame had Zero rust! Good Luck.

    Here we go! Onto the FJ60 bandwaggon. Dsalni Build.

    I admire your sand. A lot of work but ever so satisfying. These are getting tougher to find that are worth the time and money commitment. the forums are a wealth of valuable information to share and be shared.

    Stock height springs for an FJ60

    I know this is a late reply, but Atlas springs out of California is one I am interested in. I am replacing the old OME springs/shocks on my 87 to stock height. I'll be using theirs with fox shocks back to the factory height. Good luck.

    Wheels that work, part numbers

    sorry about the late reply. These are Toyota wheels and lug nuts, oem size. The factory sent these to the US with chrome instead of white paint. the bfgs are 15 inch, the same size tire from the factory (but Toyota didn't install bfgs from the factory). Part number 42601-35260-05. Again these...

    1997 Restoration

    I like the lift you have in your garage, very handy. Could you rent a flat trailer (U-Haul) to transport the body and get creative as far as securing it? Good luck with your project.

    Knuckles were next - how scared should I be of these in this condition?

    I believe any landfill would be okay. It isn't a RCRA waste, I believe it falls under TSCA

    Knuckles were next - how scared should I be of these in this condition?

    Just like you I am looking at the same work but mine are the opposite of yours....Moist! Make sure you have an FSM in front of you. I watched a few Youtube videos which helps ; me anyway.

    You might want to contact Slee Offroad and ask that question. They sell that brand of rotors.

    Just Purchased a 1997 FJ80 and want to get her ready for a roar trip

    I don't think sliders are a bad idea with a wheelbase of 112" and an unfavorable breakover angle. Oh and Rocks ,boulders, etc.

    is POR15 a preventive treatment for a good frame? (went with Macropoxy 646)

    Heckraiser, I know what you mean in Colorado. I commuted Hwy 93 (Rocky Flats) 30 plus years thru Golden and Conifer, I was lucky; they didn’t do much to Hwy 93, it was too windy lol
