I took the transmission down. I forgot/didn’t understood change the input axle seal when everything was open. 🤦🏻‍♂️ That chinese cheap motocross bike lift was a big help. So tight to get off, maybe easier with the bellhousing? 3B and H41 here.

Made brake lines for the first time. Hopefully they survive the leak test.

Bounced around in Sedona yesterday.

Here’s a map.

A little before and after is always nice. This came out way better than expected.

Second rust repair finished.

We drove to a waterfall just outside of Bogota. Lots of twisties , turns, low and high elevation. The Land Cruiser ran flawlessly. We had a great lunch (menu del dia) at a roadside restaurant. The weather held up well, as we were expected to get...

A few more. There are some "later" design bolts here also, they look like this. Not many but it seems a few were replaced over the years, like this one on the rad support.

My rig was built in May of 66. I crawled around and snapped some pics. Door hinges, never removed. Front bib never removed. Original Drivers mirror. The mount bolts to the tub don't appear to have a stamping but I'll wire brush them an...

Another thing to keep in mind when pondering these topics: Toyota has always incrementally made changes, and once perfected in their own factories and production lines and engineering rooms, were passed onto suppliers… In many cases, suppliers...

Various spots. All the same style bolts (2/64 build) on a 1965 model.

They say it's a direct bolt-on, but it didn't fit as well as I initially thought. Brackets on the sides had to be moved and inverted so that the condenser cleared the top core support brace—no modifications to the rig.

Hey! Good memory. My rig was built in Feb. 1964. I’ll go look around the truck tonight for signs of plating color. A lot of bolts are either painted or rusty. But I can say that a lot of the hardware is the flat with a number. I thought it...

Chase @red66toy, since your truck is on what I think is one of the cusps, maybe you have some input on OE hardware on your rig?

There were tons of companies providing Toyota with hardware. And, more importantly, hardware had to ascribe to JIS which indicates that the markings and other aspects of the hardware all had to conform to generalized standards vs. only what...

I posed the question of whether anyone had seen a repository of information on OE hardware manufacturers and approximate manufacturing timelines. Not much response. But while the majority of folks are content to reassemble their projects with...

64 years later, still shows signs of yellow cadmium and the red paint that wasn't quite fully cured.

That’s a great find

Reported for pornography! 😛 That is SEXXXY!

Look what I found for my FJ40 🤩:bounce: The era of my hatch falling on my head randomly is over 😅

Resurrecting this thread. We finally solved this problem: Seat Belt Stiffeners And a goofy how to install video: Install Video

Since we’re all flexing with our spare part pictures, here’s mine with 10 oil filter cans and a new A/C condenser. They’re legit. Ya Allah!

I’m in AZ and still help folks with parts. Feel free to drop a line.

The tick/rattle I referenced prior was bad spark knock! Never heard it so bad! I figured it out right after that last post but never put anything up. Timing was set to 15 so I backed it down to about 10 btdc and it was mostly gone except long...

Original paint. $110 shipped. $11 extra for PayPal
