    Looking for new rims, need ideas

    I’ve got a set of 16” City Racers with 235/85s on my BJ40. The wheels are the cat’s meow and the 235s look and ride great.

    What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

    After years of owning my bj40 and not doing anything about the black exhaust that I was getting at launch or under a load/ acceleration, I finally adjusted the injector pump to reduce diesel flow. It only took a very small adjustment and it made an instant, huge difference. The black exhaust is...

    What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

    I replaced the clutch master cylinder along with the slave cylinder. I also moved the horn to the fender. Afterwards, I took off the steering wheel and cleaned all horn button contact points. I’m replacing the motor mounts next week.

    What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

    I ordered a clutch master cylinder and the slave cylinder for my bj40. Clutch pedal has no pressure unless I panic press the heck out of it. Checked the fluid and it is very dirty and the slave is leaking. I should have flushed the line a long time a go. Shame on me for being so careless..

    tire size debacle

    Tacomaworld.com has a fantastic tire size comparison graphic. Comparing two sizes in both height and width.

    What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

    Sadly, I didn’t take photos of the install but I can tell you that it wasn’t a plug n play process. The center spring bolt provided by CCOT was too large, both in cap and bolt thickness. To avoid having to drill the springs, I improvised and went to the hardware store and purchased a bolt that...

    What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

    After my recent 2” lift install my BJ40 developed the infamous driver-side lean so I installed a CCOT leveler block kit, yesterday, and the result is a perfectly leveled, no-lean rear.

    Head Liner for a FJ40

    Labor cost for my install was $600, which included taking down the top, patching a few interior side areas with fiberglass, sanding, and installing the new liner with new hardware. I purchased the headliner separately. I had it back in 3 days.

    BJ40. Photos post 2” lift.

    It was a nice day in corpus today so I took advantage of the beautiful climate and took a drive to the shoreline for a few pics. The truck drives very nicely after the 2” lift which consisted of installing OME springs, bushings and new RC shocks. The 40 now has a much softer ride and body...

    My BJ40 is getting a 2” lift.

    I took a few photos of the 40 on the street after the RC shock install. I really like the new aggressive elevated appearance! Will now look into getting taller tires…

    My BJ40 is getting a 2” lift.

    The stock height Monroe’s were topped out with the lift so I ordered a set of rough country (0-2”) shocks. I just installed them yesterday and it made an huge difference. The 40 now has a much softer ride. The steering characteristics didn’t change wirh the lift. I do notice a slight driver...
