A link to the scanned BJ25 catalog, as well as other catalogs, can be found in the Land Cruiser Parts Catalogs thread. Thanks to Seth for getting that going.

And hey, Happy Father's Day to you Land Cruiser dads!

 
Post 146 shows the covers of a 1956 BJ25 and a 1958 FJ28 catalog. The first two pics below are of the tool pages in those catalogs, respectively. The jack noted in both catalogs is part RK91100, the predecessor of the RK30 91100 which debuted in '59? Unsure of that.

Below the catalog pics is the actual RK91100. It was painted a grayish color years ago. Yellow pokes through in some spots. Maybe I'll start chipping away at the gray.

Curves on the base are slightly more pronounced than later year models. Haven't been able to reveal any date codes just yet to see what year it is actually from.

Thought I’d start this as a supplement to wscbill’s “Tools, Tool Kits, Options, and Accessories” thread, which, incidentally is one of the most informative of any threads on MUD. Bill, I (we) owe you a big-time thanks for doing the research and sharing your findings. A dolt like myself couldn’t have completed a correct tool bag without it. TreerootCO, I understand you had a hand in it also – thanks to you too – don’t want to demean your contributions, or anyone else’s for that matter. Those looking to build a tool kit/bag with period-correct tools who haven’t seen that thread, have a look – you won’t be disappointed.

Tools, Tool Kits, Options and Accessories

The intentions of this supplemental thread are simple:

· Muster up conversation about other vintage Toyota Motor tools and accessories which never made it into Land Cruiser tool kits, but would be cool in them nonetheless.

· Share pictures of your Toyota Motor tools and accessories

· Encourage MUDDERs to keep educating MUDDERs

· Be a launching pad for some buying, selling, and trading (definitely not trying to create another classified section, but don’t think it would be too terrible if a few deals were made as a result of this thread).

We all know the basic tools that came in Land Cruiser tool kits from the 50’s – 80’s: open-end wrenches/spanners, 250mm adjustable wrenches, 200 mm pliers, screwdrivers with wood, yellow, or black handles, lug wrenches, those impossible to find OH and Maruki hammers, the grease pumps which I firmly believe only exist in legend, engine adjust kits, etc. But Toyota also stamped their name on a myriad of other “Standard” and “Recommended” tools. Thanks again to wscbill, (and full credit to him also) pictures of those tools can be found in a couple of old catalogs. The seven links below are pages 1 – 7 of a 1972 (or so) Toyota Motor tool catalog. Have a gander at each.

Then a link to a 1982 catalog is here. It’s a nice color version written in Japanese.

We see some very cool stuff - a pipe wrench, ratchets, sockets, colorful plastic-handled screwdrivers, honing stones, box wrenches, files, etc. Note the vast majority of the tools in both catalogs are marked TOYOTA MOTOR without the old Toyota “TEQ” logo (side bar: “T backwards E Q” are actually three Japanese Katakan characters which translate to “TO YO TA”). This absence of “TEQ” on the tools in the 1972 catalog may be relevant, as many of the early Land Cruiser tools and other Toyota models had that stamp. We can almost surmise the practice of stamping of the “TEQ” logo on Toyota tools was discontinued in the very late 60’s or very early 70’s. That’s speculation of course – if anyone can substantiate, please chime in.

If seems then the words "TOYOTA MOTOR" were used on tools well into the 80’s, as evidenced in the 1982 catalog. So when did TOYOTA MOTOR tools just become TOYOTA tools? It appears that TOYOTA MOTOR evolved into TOYOTA in the 60 series and 80 series, based on some of the tools in the bags during those production years. Speculation again, but TOYOTA MOTOR likely all but disappeared from Toyota tools in the mid-80s. Here's a pic of TOYOTA MOTOR tool #09130-00120, needle nose pliers, from the 1982 catalog, in living color:

The time frame of the TOYOTA MOTOR to TOYOTA evolution is important when considering the possibility of obtaining/collecting TOYOTA MOTOR tools from the 1972 and 1982 catalogs. Think about the period we are talking about. Toyota’s first import into the United States was the Toyopet Crown in 1957, and obviously as cars were imported and driven, cars fell down, went boom, and had to be repaired. How many auto shops fixed Japanese imports back then? We all know – not a ton. And for the tech who had a Toyopet Crown roll into their shop, where would he get replacement parts? Order from Autozone.com? No, he would probably have to pick up their rotary phone and call a parts importer, order, and wait. And wait. Fast forward 37 weeks to when the part arrived and it is install time. He needs a flathead screwdriver, a crescent wrench, and a 14mm wrench. Hmm. 14mm. Might not be in his bag. Think he is going to whip out his Toyota “Recommended” tool catalog and place an order for a Toyota socket set? Unless he wants to keep his customer waiting for another 37 weeks, he’s making a trip to Sears and buying a Craftsman.

Si esa teoría es correcta, es muy posible que algunas herramientas “estándar” o “recomendadas” de TOYOTA MOTOR de los catálogos de 1972 y 1982 hayan llegado a los Estados Unidos. Esto se justifica en parte por la ausencia de ese tipo de herramientas en los sitios web de subastas de los EE. UU.

Aquí las herramientas 09130-00140, 09018-38180, y 09018-12250 (mordazas de tornillo, trinquete de 9.5 mm y trinquete de 12.7 mm).

Tools, Tool Kits, Options and Accessories

With regard to accessories, who knows how many hundreds or thousands of vintage items were manufactured for the different Toyota models that had TOYOTA MOTOR or the old "TEQ" logo imprinted or stamped? I’ve recently come across a few TOYOTA MOTOR or TEQ items I never dreamed existed. Here’s one that would look very cool in the glove box of a vintage Land Cruiser:

Your turn. Do TOYOTA MOTOR tools fill any space in your bags, boxes or chests? Have any old, vintage TOYOTA MOTOR or TEQ accessories collecting dust in the back of the garage cabinet? Share a few pics if you do. Would love to see them in living color.

Poster's Editorial: Guess this thread could have been a continuation of the TTKOA thread, but figured it could be separated out and focus on tools/accessories that weren't found in Land Cruisers as they rolled off the lines.
Good afternoon,
It is possible to get this emergency light that is stored in the glove box,
Thank you

Pensemos que comenzamos esto como un complemento del subproceso de Herramientas, herramientas y accesorios y un plan de acción. Bill, te debemos un gran agradecimiento por hacer la investigación y compartir tus hallazgos. Una vez que usted no podría haber completado. TreerootCO, entiendo que usted también participó (gracias a usted también), no quiere degradar sus respuestas a ninguna otra persona. ¿Qué es lo que buscamos?

Herramientas, kits de herramientas, opciones y accesorios.

Las intenciones de este hilo suplementario son simples:

· Conseguir una conversación sobre otras herramientas y accesorios de Toyota Motor que nunca llegó a tener los kits de herramientas de Land Cruiser, pero aún no ha sido así.

· Comparte fotos de tus herramientas y accesorios Toyota Motor

· Alentar a los MUDDERs a seguir educando a los MUDDERs

· Sea una plataforma de lanzamiento para algunas compras, ventas e intercambios (definitivamente no estoy intentando crear otra sección clasificada, pero no piense que sería demasiado terrible si se da una oportunidad como resultado de este hilo).

Todos conocemos las herramientas básicas que se incluyen en los kits de herramientas Cruceros de los años 50 y 80: llaves abiertas / llaves de tuercas, llaves ajustables de 250 mm, alicados de 200 mm, destornilladores con mango de madera, amarillo o negro, llaves de tuercas, imposibles de ver los martillos OH y Maruki, las bombas de grasa que creemos que solo existen en la leyenda, en los kits de ajuste del motor, etc. Pero Toyota también estampó su nombre en una gran cantidad de otras herramientas "Estándar "y" recomendadas ". Gracias de nuevo a wscbill (y también a él) las fotos de esas herramientas se pueden encontrar en un par de catálogos antiguos. Los siete enlaces a continuación son las páginas 1 a 7 del catálogo de herramientas de Toyota Motor de 1972 (más o menos). Echa un vistazo a cada uno.

Entonces un enlace a un catálogo de 1982 está aquí . Es una bonita versión en color escrita en japonés.

Vemos algunas cosas muy interesantes: una llave de tubo, trinquetes, enchufes, coloridos destornilladores con mango de plástico, piedras de bruñido, llaves de caja, archivos, etc. Tenga en cuenta que la gran mayoría de las herramientas en ambos catálogos están marcadas con TOYOTA MOTOR sin el viejo Toyota ". Logotipo de TEQ "(barra lateral:" T hacia atrás EQ "son en realidad tres caracteres japoneses Katakan que se traducen en" TO YO TA "). Esta ausencia de "TEQ" en las herramientas del catálogo de 1972 puede ser relevante, ya que muchas de las primeras herramientas de Land Cruiser y otros modelos de Toyota tenían ese sello. Casi podemos suponer que la práctica de estampar el logotipo "TEQ" en las herramientas de Toyota se suspendió a finales de los 60 o principios de los 70. Eso es una especulación, por supuesto, si alguien puede fundamentarlo, por favor, insista.

Si parece, las palabras "TOYOTA MOTOR" se usaron en herramientas hasta bien entrados los años 80, como se evidencia en el catálogo de 1982. Entonces, ¿cuándo las herramientas TOYOTA MOTOR se convirtieron en herramientas TOYOTA? Parece que TOYOTA MOTOR evolucionó a TOYOTA en las series 60 y 80, basándose en algunas de las herramientas en las bolsas durante esos años de producción. De nuevo la especulación, pero TOYOTA MOTOR probablemente desapareció de las herramientas de Toyota a mediados de los 80. Aquí hay una foto de la herramienta TOYOTA MOTOR # 09130-00120, alicates de punta fina, del catálogo de 1982, en color vivo:

El marco temporal de la evolución de TOYOTA MOTOR a TOYOTA es importante cuando se considera la posibilidad de obtener / recopilar herramientas TOYOTA MOTOR de los catálogos de 1972 y 1982. Piensa en el período del que estamos hablando. La primera importación de Toyota a los Estados Unidos fue la Toyopet Crown en 1957, y obviamente, a medida que los autos se importaban y conducían, los autos se caían, se dispararon y tuvieron que ser reparados. ¿Cuántas tiendas de autos repararon las importaciones japonesas en aquel entonces? Todos lo sabemos, ni una tonelada. Y para el técnico que tenía un Toyopet Crown en su tienda, ¿dónde conseguiría piezas de repuesto? ¿Orden de Autozone.com? No, probablemente tendría que descolgar su teléfono rotatorio y llamar a un importador de piezas, ordenar y esperar. Y espera. Avance rápido de 37 semanas a cuando llegó la parte y es tiempo de instalación. Necesita un destornillador plano, una llave inglesa, y una llave de 14mm. Hmm 14mm. Podría no estar en su bolsa. ¿Crees que va a sacar su catálogo de herramientas "Recomendadas" de Toyota y hacer un pedido de un juego de enchufes Toyota? A menos que quiera mantener a su cliente esperando por otras 37 semanas, está haciendo un viaje a Sears y comprando un artesano.

Si esa teoría es correcta, es muy posible que algunas herramientas “estándar” o “recomendadas” de TOYOTA MOTOR de los catálogos de 1972 y 1982 hayan llegado a los Estados Unidos. Esto se justifica en parte por la ausencia de ese tipo de herramientas en los sitios web de subastas de los EE. UU.

I don't know how old this is or what type of vehicle it was included with (if any). It's got the katakana Toyota logo, so it seems like it should be pretty old, but it looks pretty new. My assumption is it was for an owner's manual and other vehicle docs. My '74 manual, which is about 5" x 8", fits nicely inside one of the pouches. Made of vinyl.

Check out JohnnyC's post #105 on page 6 of this thread. I've seen a few of those small Toyota Accessories boxes, but this "Attachment" variant is new to me. Same size as the Accessories box. 6 1/4" x 3" x 2". Don't know if it is earlier, later, or same period as the Accessories.
