It’s a 79-80, with, as far as i can tell from the paperwork ( which is extensive ) 58,000 miles. Spent it’s early years in Indo, owned by a Doctor, then bought by a Brit expat, who imported it here and then left it here when his wife wasn’t...

Dont forget @Coolerman for the electrical supplies and adaptor harnesses.

What's next, buy a 100 series?

Auburn LSD I wasn't happy with the way the supplied spacer fit. Lots of vertical space that left the button end of the axles only partially supported and more than double the end thrust allowable by Toyota. I had an old aftermarket spacer from...

Hi, new here and new to fj40’s. Looking forward to asking stupid questions and talking advantage of all of your experience. I’ve always been a bike man, so what i know about 40’s you could more or less write on the back of a stamp. Cheers. Dicky

I am getting to know that towel very well..

Hell yea! I was selfishly hoping you’d see my comment (and be able to fabricate one). I’m also in need of some other smaller components so I’ll email you the list and see what else I can source from you. The main harness you made me is super...

They aren’t any thicker than the metal of the fender itself, so he can just fabricate one from some sheet stock. I’ll bet @cruisermatt could whip one up for you too. And he’s n FL.

My Craigslist score today- tested and never used. Was kind of holding out for an 8274 just because, but dang they just dont don’t ever pop up for cheap, and this one looks period correct and has one of the best reputations out there:

Take your carb cleaner or brake cleaner can and soak everything that ever had vacuum in it from your vacuum advance to your brake booster, carb, emissions valves, everything. If you find the leak then your rpm will increase. Any chance you got a...

While at the yacht club I noticed a 100 which belongs to the son of a coworker. I had not seen it in a few years. The kid has done a good job building it and he wheels it. Love the decal.

I was not a fan of the gloss black so I repainted with semi-gloss, I like this better.

Had a project that required only the outer skin of a barn door. Salvaged this unit off the inside. I know there are re-pop pins and handles, but if you need the whole thing, here you go. Works as intended. $80 mailed in the lower 48.

That’s Me!!! Thanks again Bryan for helping out with the blue FJ. Runs amazing now

Assessed my newish dash mounted rocker switched back up/camping lights...

I found a wiring connector kit on Amazon that mated up with the existing connector bodies from the heater harness. Female Sta-Kons from Waytek. Klein tools from my trade life. Heat shrink tubing from my existing parts stash to help clean up...

My 40 in the center, I have an older 4Plus grill guard up front, a year ago or so I bounced a whitetail off of it at about 55. No damage to the grill guard but I did bend the OEM bumper a bit.

4plus makes a arb bull bar catchers mask clone bumper.

I honestly don't think this one fits in with the general market 40's that most of us look for, @Jdc1 and the crew have built a diamond. I set the bar low enough to stub a toe on with mine, this one has set the bar sky high. I've been impatiently...

Bib Restoration Front grill Now sand and prep the front grill for paint: Primer time Color coat Just need to add the bib screws and spacers in the lower left of the image above and that is a restored bib ready to go back on Jolene the...

Another month and half… Spent more money, but not a lot of progress. I tried my hand at replacing some rivets and failed miserably. The rivets didn’t like getting hot and staying hot and large pieces were falling off despite out best efforts to...

Finally got done with cutting and welding the transmission hump! Lots of nights with just a little spare time so it took a bit. This was my first real welding project and I think it came out pretty decent! Next step is to 2k epoxy primer, then a...

Thank you. It’s a little nerve wracking from where I sit.

I am saving a bag of popcorn to eat during the final hours of the auction to see where this spectacular specimen winds up. I hope you are rewarded for your excellent work and attention to detail. This will be an interesting litmus test for the...

Meh, big bumper, bright lights, stay alert. Wait until you come across a herd of elk at night, or a lone moose crossing the road, those stupid swamp donkeys don't give a crap, and are basically invisible, even with lights on them.
