Somewhat related, but Jeremiah Proffitt has a policy of not restoring SA 40s. They sure are popular on BaT!

The outcome... https://www.ksl.com/article/51339120/lindon-land-cruiser-dealer-admits-to-fraud-is-ordered-to-serve-probation-

That’s a good one, never heard of 20/20. I always say “she’s a one blocker“… Looks good from a block away.

Agreed! We have driven by that home several times; I don’t know what the definition of “FJ stalker” is, ha, but I’m sure they have door cams recording us crawling past 5 mph looking. Someone in a new shiny Escalade looped back around because I’m pretty sure they were watching us in the rearview...

Didn't notice it for a week. Big hole in cover. Not like I'd ever use the tiny dome light. Not needed, money better spent elsewhere. Be financially strong, it's an old truck. That jagged hole is what they call "character". Not needed... I'm weak. $41 delivered for 81240-90300.

I rarely get invited back. Probably my eating style (multiple stacked plates of "no, not that one, the big piece in the back"). For me it's less what you know ("Oh, that's a Land Cruiser??"), but who you know ("My friend did your entire family's triple bypass? Ya don't say...are you gonna eat...

At friend's friend housewarming in rather fancy part of town. Drove my 40 over. Someone said "hey, come look at (home owner) Land Cruiser." We walk over and I don't see a Land Cruiser. There's a, hmmm, think that's a Jeep Rubicon or Raptor Bronco...nope, still looking for the FJ40, but all I see...

I realize yours is 1F, but here's my internet anecdotal N+1... When going through all fluids in the new-to-me 2F last week for warm/hot temps I wanted at least 1100ppm zinc in non synthetic. Went down the online rabbit hole (that was a life timesuck of epic proportion, ha) and also asked the...

I had the same post/question. I would like to find a survivor original paint color two door short wheelbase FJZ70 to complement my 83 40LX. I rarely use AC yet want OEM air, and while my 40s carb is dialed in nicely having FI would be nice even for a part-time fair-weather driver. Just typing...

Once again, thanks to all for the great input. Took part front and rear passenger side and put eyes on what this thread educated me on. The new bulbs worked, but the corrosion was obvious and it looks like that will be the next project to prevent future issues in the middle of nowhere. Parts...

Looks like I'll head over to my friend's house where the test meter is/borrowed. He's closer than the auto parts store. And no cheap bulbs, for sure!

1983 FJ40. The right turn signal stopped blinking inside. Right arrow would illuminate, but the external front turn signal does not blink (it lights up and stays illuminated) and the passenger/right rear turn signal does not light or blink. The right side does not hyper-blink. Left/driver turn...

I have not locked mine yet. Always have wallet, phone and sunnies with when away. Thanks for the reminder. Editing original post now.

Did a search and most are taking the doors off because there’s a tiny spring clip that is easily dropped and lost into the bottom. A few with small hands did it without door removal.

I have no key that works in the driver‘s door.
