What color paint did you use on the front of the wheels? I need to repaint a set for mine,,,

I have that black and white seat... I think it came out of scout 800 originally. Got it from a buddies ranch that had an old border patrol scout as a hunting vehicle. I added some square tubing and angle iron to each side to use it in a fj40 since it was narrower. hth, Will

You have the early (76-78) style disk brakes/hubs where the rotor bolts to the back of the hub with mini truck solid rotors. The land cruisers of that vintage would have had vented rotors with the same 6 mounting holes. In 79 the rotors changed to the 8 hole rotor held on by 2 bolts and the 6...

Also interested in this...

I believe the entire filter unit is available- but with a metal bowl versus the original glass bowl. Will have to look and see if I saved the part number for it.

Leaving the isolator shouldn't cause any harm, but why leave it if has no purpose...

That most likely is a battery isolator to control/dual batteries... looks like someone expanded the factory tray for a second battery (over the starter area of the engine bay). Welcome to the madness... HTH, Will.

That looks great. I need to replace mine as well on my '74. Is that factory weatherstrip or aftermarket?

I did the same thing to three of my cruisers... I learned after I did the V8/74 to attach them at the top of the wheelhouse to the rear roll bar bolts with angle iron versus drilling new holes in the sheet metal like I did the first time. That was back in the late eighties when I cut the rear...

Any auto parts store will have 3/16 brake line with the correct 10mm fittings. I used this to extend my hard line to the passenger side when I switched to 4 speed along with the V8 in my '74...

Go with one for an fj60. About 55 amps and internally regulated. I did this in my 72 with a 76 2f.

You may be correct now that I remember the year of your current project (1964). All mine are later models (69-74) and had the mirrors mounted to the door hinges...

If your picture is the mirror you are going to use ok. The part you showed above mounts to the upper door hinge using the hinge bolts not to the side of the cowl through drilled holes in the body. HTH, Will

door bracket for side view mirror... The hump is for clearance on the door hinge, the other side of the bracket has only one bolt hole to match the door hinge.

These are the inexpensive mistakes to make... much better to make those than the expensive ones. That's a nice ride you found by the way, and being a post 79 model we can't give you a hard time about the headlight bezel being upside down since they are rectangular unlike the earlier models.
