We hit DFW last night at midnight. Long haul. Great to visit with you all. We had a a great time. Thanks for the patience on the trail as the boys got their wings. They are over the moon. 2000 miles of seat time in 40s. Mighty proud. Glad to make...
Rebuild the carburetor. First time doing a carb rebuild so this was all new to me; pretty happy with the outcome. Wanted to detail a bit more but this is a driver so you eventually have to move on.
Crazy as it sounds I have yet to carve out the time to pull the top off. July and August are just so hot in the panhandle that I haven’t driven her much. I did take her out for a spin Sunday evening. The sniper continues to impress. After...
Made some good progress tonight. Got the sidewalls of the hardtop on. Before I installed it, I used all @Racer65 weatherstripping. '67 did not have any sort of rubber where the top meets the bed. However, it does in later models so I decided to...
First "big" project accomplished. Got the rear window to go up and down. Used parts from Specter help.
I had to remake the hardware and had to cut the the old regulator out (the arms were frozen in the up position). This was a royal PITA, but...
Tackled the tear down of the front knuckles…For anyone with a 1976 FJ40 L-UC from South America with front drums, make sure you order the 9/75+ rebuild kit. I ordered the pre 9/75 and wheel seals are smaller.
Doing a full frame off restomod build. Fabbed some parts this week. I made some new tabs for the driver door limiting stops. And, since I did a Saginaw steering mod, I don't need that gaping hole in the driver fender. So, I made a patch.
I haven't posted in a while, cause the only thing I was doing to my LandCruiser was daily driving it. We haven't had any rain so I've had lots of opportunities to take it out... and look really cool while I'm burning up in 100+ heat :). But I...
My old 50amp alternator decided to to finally stop working so I replaced it with a new 55amp alternator that I had on the shelf since last year
Thanks @ToyotaMatt
Fellow Cruiser guy and gals. It’s been a ton of fun for many years to drive, wheel, break, and restore FJ40s. For about 7 years, I’ve enjoyed helping many owners out with brake lines for their ailing trucks. Over the past couple of years, a...
