Went to dinner at the fancy sushi place with some high dollar friends who were in town. Amazingly, the 20 something valet drove a stick as his daily.
Got the showpiece parking…
Valet said it got more attention than any car since he’s been...
Can some one tell me how much room I will need to get long side axle/birfield combo out? That is how far from garage wall does hub need to be get the assembly out? 1968 FJ55 if that matters. Thanks.
I had my 76 FJ40 sitting in a driveway in Shoreline, WA for 4 months!. This cuts close to home
Based on this thread (Threat?) I have ordered two of these , one for the 76 FJ40 and one for the 97 Series 80.

Truth is. I really DO hate hearing that.
I don't think Joey started out planning on fleecing the group of us out of thousands of dollars, but things happen and he handled it badly.
I don't hate the guy, despite the financial sodomy, I just wish...
I'm a fan of the "complete" tool sets offered by a number of manufacturers. Here is an example from DeWalt:

A big advantage is that everything has its place so you can find it quickly and - particularly out in the field -...
One of our cruisers broke a rear spring pin in the Serengeti today leaving Tanzania. We loaded up their passengers and baggage and took off.
Can’t say that would be fun repairing in middle of nowhere, it’s hard enough for me to put new springs...
Gypsy WAS my son’s dog until reality hit he wasn’t mature enough for owning a dog. Original intent was to give her find good home for her with friends.
After few months she has grown on us and has bonded well with other dogs on the farm.
Now she...
That would be a good deal since we do have two good quality oils... :)
But now it seems that you would rather travel back to Peloponnese: that would be great news to me Greg
...and I could show you the olive grove country in style!
If you have not downloaded the Factory Service Manual for that truck, now is a good time to do it. It will explain EVERYTHING you need to know about the gauges. Then you need to go to this thread: Clusters, Gauges, Speedo & Odo meters -...
I knew by looking it was big monster. I think the easiest and fastest way is make a new lifting eye offset towards the side it wants to roll towards. There should be a balance line for the center of rotation, you could also try placing a few...
Bodhi and June at about 12,000ft. They both summited Grays Peak at just under 14,300ft a few hours later.
Bodhi, the black one, is a Navajo Rez dog I found hiking in northern Arizona in 2020. Named after Patrick Swazye’s character in Point...
@Chungas Revenge …that’s good to hear that you’ve got a defined want and need for the cruiser as you have written. I frankly feel that same way about mine. There are a few changes from stock that I really enjoy…and they are common...
Many a time that I walked around the front of my Toy and barked my shins on the front bumper.
Finally cut the ends off.
A friend of mine bought a new travel trailer with louver windows on the side front corners right at head height.
I made the...
I think that is an old style resettable fuse. Probability bimetallic. If you overload it then it goes open circuit.
Have you got the correct and genuine toyota diagram? Some other diagrams give you useful information presented in a...
Yes. It’s hard seeing dogs get old.
But to be Fair, they can ease into their old senile part of their life for a while.
We thought my dog was going to be gone soon enough, she ended up living another 6 months relatively comfortably.
Help...
Like most folks here, I have a car with all of the modern amenities that I’ll drive if I need to get somewhere in a hurry. But when I take the 40 I’m not in a rush to get anywhere. It’s me anyway, it’s fun to drive 50ish. For a 53 year-old...
I am in the process of purchasing this rig out of state GA - '78 FJ40 - 3FE - https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/rv5m5mfdtl8v3014nzn04/h?rlkey=a879mmnxlq0e71u0nz1ltr23v&dl=0 , subject to inspection, and it's nowhere near any of the Land Cruiser...
