$17.5k OBO 1970 FJ40 acquired approximately 6 years ago to be used for rides around town as a third vehicle. The circumstances have changed after investment of over $25k. The truck was listed on BAT in 2022 (link - 1970 Toyota Land Cruiser...

Rudy’s lunch stop today and about 70 miles on the odometer. Can’t believe it’s been a couple of months since I’ve driven this 40.

OME 865s were on my 100 for ~85k miles. Got too heavy for them with bumper & bolt on BS I think I needed. Just pay shipping and they’re yours… located in St. Louis. 63122

****ing Love Bugs. I think this thing is totalled.

The 81110-60P70 headlight and harness kit is the greatest Toyota parts deal in history. I've had a set installed forever but I snagged another set as a spare when I could get them from a stealership for $16.00! Nice work as always- you are...

Got a Warn M8000-S, Warn offset hawse fairlead (106880) and Factor 55 Ultrahook (00250-04). Also, wired up the new Stedi 7" Type X foglights. And while I was at it, I installed the greatest deal in Toyota parts history, the 81110-60P70...

If only we could all have one of each color

Beautiful 40. I had a red '79 years ago. Wish I had kept it. Miss that color.

Installed the e-power steering today. Very glad to have my BIL's extra hands. Good times.

Dude, the Browns. @wngrog, thanks for sharing the powder color you used on jomelo's tailgate. After sitting in the basement for two years, I finally had mine coated. Turned out pretty good.

No idea how that booster got out of whack. Oh wait… I installed it 😁

I’m tired of watching our kicker miss easy kicks.

Why are you on the internet during the 49ers game?

Oil change day today. Got around 3200 miles on the motor now. Not a single issue. Sitting in the main garage now hoping to encourage some cooler weather.

I had another alternator in the shop and stuck it on. A little better. My PowerProbe reads 13v at the charge post at idle and the battery was at 12.3 while the sniper readout hovers at 11.9-12 Bumps up under RPM but it seems a bit low. I...

Not to mention how beautiful it is. Really a fantastic looking 40

Turns out the booster rod was way out of whack. No idea how it worked before it got here. Brakes are perfect now. Great ride into town for gas. Gave it a tank full of 93. It was down to one gallon. Barely made it. Runs superb. 3000ish RPM...

A little maintenance this weekend. Yesterday I got a much needed welding job on a broken exhaust hanger. Today was an oil change. 21,441 kms or about 13,332 miles. The last oil change was at around 9,000 miles. Runs like a top and is now ready...

This thing arrived filthy. It stayed at the port too long and was unloaded from the container so it sat and got nasty. I took it to town for a wash and gas. They left me 2.5 gallons in the main and three in the aux tank. First...

Another great Cruiser out of this shop!!!

Took it for a drive and the front brakes are dragging. Back at it after I go cut some trees down for Red

Electric Power Steering knob. Lets you dial in more or less boost

4700# in a 40 might be too much for the Parabolics. When they get up to a certain weight they go to normal style springs. That's a TT question.

I thought I had this thing done yesterday but I had a whistle coming out of the Holley adapter. It was not enough to effect the idle but even my deaf ass could hear it. If I pulled down on the air cleaner slightly the whistle went away. So...

They feel the same to me. Maybe smoother. About the same "boost"
