Mark, I am envious of some of your hats. You have so many that you do so well. I always feel that I am a Jack of all trades and a master of none. You on the other hand are a Jack of all trades and a master of quite a few. Your ability to turn a phrase and the ability to so accurately put your...
I really like that your 40 is from 8/1969. I would love to have one of that exact same age. Very good things came into existence that month right at 50 years ago. It could also be that on the 26th of that month almost half a century ago that I came into existence....:cheers::flipoff2:
I am glad...
Other than the music the next main issue that I had was them climbing like two monkeys on that 40. What part of a beautifully restored 40 did those two chicks not get? Hey beautiful paint job on this 40 so let's climb all over it with our shoes on so we can really scratch it up really good. Damn...
I recommend the impact screwdriver with Kroil then if that fails my next go to is the air chisel attachment to loosen stuck bolts and screws. I have an attachment for bolts and screws. You use your air chisel and the attachment. The impacts from the air chisel helps fully seat the screwdriver...
I would love to go but I just can't bring myself to go yet. It would cost me too much $$$ going through the museum and getting ideas of things to do to my 40. I don't need any inspiration because my imagination is already too active compared to my wallet. I have to say focused on my 401k just a...
You can find people selling used dashpads all the time. Or you can go new oem. OEM Dash Pad for Land Cruiser FJ40
Or a high quality aftermarket that many say they like better than new OEM.

I actually don't remember where I got my Tuffy console from now it has been over a decade now. Tuffy consoles are sold by many different sites online. I would just shop for the best price that I could find. I have the Series II Security Console but there is a model available for your stereo like...
I have a 73 with bucket seats and a Tuffy Console. I absolutely love the console and it is very well made. It almost looks factory if you didn't know better. It fits well without taking up too much space. The only thing the 73's OEM console was really good for was looking OEM because it wasn't...
Mark, I know you probably see the crazy stuff that PO do pretty frequently. Luckily my 40's PO didn't go completely crazy on it. I have spent hours undoing some minor things that weren't done properly or neat. The craziest thing that a PO did to my 40 was to completely cut out my glove...
Warn has excellent customer service. I ordered several small parts to freshen up my winches while rebuilding one of my XD9000i. The customer service rep asked me what problems I was having. When I explained that after long years of use I was just tearing them down to check the internals, doing...
Of course the amber lense has been discontinued for a good while. The front wedge rubber gasket was still available from Toyota unless they just discontinued it. I picked up everything OEM from Toyota to completely rebuild mine a little while back and everything was still available front and...
Yes it was on there when I bought the 40 and I didn't remove it. It comes in handy at times. I have a green led bulb in it so it is bright but doesn't blind you when it is on.
Man that does look good. Having the thicker wheel has to feel good to hang onto. At first I just did a quick glance at your photo. I had to quickly do a double take to make sure that wasn't my photo. We have a lot of the similar look in our 40's other than the year differences. :cheers:
They are from Wheelskins and I found them cheaper on Ebay than buying direct from Wheelskins. The Ebay store places the order and the cover is shipped directly from Wheelskins. Wheelskins website claims that for these steering wheels you need the BX size and that is incorrect. If you get the BX...
Well I have sore hands now from lacing the last steering wheel. Glad to have that done. All I have to do now is wait on the horn pad that I ordered and reinstall. Overall I think both steering wheels came out really well. I like the feel of the leather cover a lot better than the plastic. It...
