And the other food I tried to feed the monkey will be on BaT shortly once I get it all detailed. I do absolutely love this truck, and I really love driving it. She's been my daily when I'm not working since I finished her. But now I've got too...
I would love to rotate one of mine to “reinvest” it into another project but now is definitely still not the time to sell and expect to recoup your money. I think we hit the market correction and prices will be slow to rise on anything other than...
I began at the front of the frame and methodically worked my way back, clearing each opening by blowing debris toward the rear, where the inner channel ends just before the rear axle. I repeated this process eight to ten times until I was...
I spent about three hours cleaning the inside of the frame rails using a tiny wire brush, sandpaper, a screwdriver, and compressed air. Two things surprised me during the process.
First, I couldn’t believe how much dirt, gravel, and mud had...
If it was mechanically perfect (or close to it), runs, drives, etc. amazing, and YOU can do all the body and paint work without farming it out AND you have the time, money and talent for the project, then it could be worth taking on.
Price? If...
I did all my accessories belts on the 3FE this weekend. These were last changed 30k miles ago.
AC ice cold now, no slippage, Elec. cooling fan is getting proper voltage with the new 150amp alternator and everything is working wonderful.
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...
Not much to report. Got one knuckle built out and the 3rd member in. Not sure where the afternoon went.
Parts to put the rear back in arrived today. My goal is to have this thing a roller by Friday.
This probably belongs in the thread "FJ40 pics from back in the day". My 01/72, pic taken summer of '78 showing my headrests and my old girlfriend and my brother with his Harley.
Checked Amayama and the part number for the rear heater switch is 84730-90A01. Only listed as used 8/80-1/81. It is the same part number as the one used in the FJ60. I bought one from a FJ60. Why Toyota used it for a few months and went back to...
The front tie rod has seen better days.
The rear bearings are slide hammered out
Thirds are painted. I'll put new pinion flanges and seals in once I have them in the truck
@Catching Neutral set me up on a primo spot. I have more vids than pics but getting to see these guys is definitely one of better perks of living here in the good ole Panhandle.
Very cool and thanks for sharing. Mine did not have a button to the right of the ashtray, just the lever below. Unfortunately my original interior dome switch was not there. I have the still available two switch variant, but definitely want...
Where did you source the clips and bushings?
Do you find the handle above the door useful? Personally think forward would be a better location. Interesting Toyota only list one used but shows them on both sides in the diagram.
Looks like you...
