I picked up a 1985 bj70 for my son's first vehicle back in October with 502,000km. It now has 3,000 more km. Poor old truck doesn't appreciate the move from BC to the frozen tundra of Saskatchewan. I sold my 1987 hj60 a few years back with 512,000km, and I bought my 1977 fj45 back in 2001...

What kind of shape is the body in? I just bought a '85 bj70 from the coast and brought it back to Saskatchewan. How about the interior? I would be interested if there are enough quality goodies left on it. Let me know. Jason '77 fj45 cummins '85 bj70 '06 Sequoia

I'm with Slowerthanu, it was my hard earner $ that put a 6bt in my '77 45. I haven't regretted it for the past 7 years since the work was done (especially now with the price of fuel). I saved my truck from eminent death to rust, and made it completely functional and enjoyable. While many think...

I purchased my '06 Limited with 54,000km and full warranty 18 months ago. When I bought it I noticed that there was a lot of engine noise in the cab. Toyota replaced the left side exhaust manifold under warranty just this week. The problem all the time was a $34 part. There is an insulating...

I'm with HJ47, go cummins. I contemplated a Toyota diesel in my '77 fj45, but after considering possible rebuild, turbo and intercooler, a 6 cylinder cummins was the only choice. I couldn't be happier. Great fuel economy and parts at the local parts shops. By the way, I love this thread. I...

I've got a '77 fj45. Too bad you are in Ontario, there seems to be more parts out here in the west. Jason '77 fj45 cummins powered

sold this morning

Selling my mint OE headache rack for my '77 fj45. I just had a cage built for the back, so don't need it. I might regret selling it in the future, but for now it is just hanging in the garage. Painted 5 years ago, dune beige. Super straight with no rust. I'm in Chilliwack, BC, but can take...

I "rented" an ARB Simpson III last weekend and went camping on Vancouver Island. Brought it back after three nights sleeping as it had numerous issues. The zipper holding the canvas carrying cover didn't mesh up, so continually unzipped. One of the knobs to set the internal bar was buggered...

I'm clearing out the last of my 60 stuff and just have a few things left. Perfect chrome driver's side mirror (non power) $50 CDN Pre-Combustion cups (6), never installed $150 CDN Shipping from Chilliwack, BC Thanks, Jason 77 fj45 Cummins powered

I am in need of the headlight switch (5 pin connector type) out a '77 era 40. Any chance you have an extra? Please let me know. Thanks, Jason '77 fj45

I tried to transfer the pictures from the Coastal Cruisers 2007 get-together, with no success. (perhaps someone with more computer savy could do it). Mine is the 1977, dune beige with the cummins. I hadn't written on this board in quite a while so thought I would catch up. Presently in the...

I will have the last laugh when I figure out how to import this thing to Canada. I will forward pictures in May when I go to pick it up. The field was 2' in mud and snow. It is paid for and I have the registration in hand. Jason

I was just there last week and thought that it was a mirage. I checked the poor girl out and I think rust has got the better of her. Truly the only reason to visit disneyhell. Jason

I sold my faithful hj60 back in February with 508,000km after nearly ten years of ownership. I felt that I was going to be very content only owning my fj45 and my daily driver Matrix. Well, long story short, on my way through Washington state, like a mirage in this farmer's field was a tan...
