    Gear Reduction Starter Swap Coil Bypass Wiring

    Thank you for your replies! I guess I need to start checking wiring then. It did seem odd to me for the coil to receive power from the ignition and bypass totally independently. Good to know that it should still be powered from the ignition wire during "start." Gives me something to do at least...

    Gear Reduction Starter Swap Coil Bypass Wiring

    Hey guys, need to ask for some help on this (and yes, I have searched for it to no real avail). Just "inherited" a project 72 Fj40. It hasn't started in 12 years, so working my way through all of the essentials, including ignition parts. At some point a 2F-type gear reduction starter was...

    F or 2F: Lowest possible idle speed?

    V8's will always have a distinctive sound. While sometimes other engines come close, it will never have that same throaty bellow. End of story. As they say, there's no replacement for displacement. My 4 cylinder Tacoma (with a flowmaster and sounds plenty strong) doesn't sound like my 40 with an...

    What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

    @65swb45 I think I'd call it semi; but depending on the lighting, it borders on flat. I'll definitely post updates as I go. I'm pretty excited to give it a try. Also, in case you haven't seen it, there's a big Monstaliner thread in the Paint and Body forum that's worth browsing if you are...

    What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

    Got some color chip samples in from Monstaliner and found a match that I'm really pleased with. Gonna order the 2-gallon tintable kit fairly soon and then it's time for a new paint job! As much as it pains me to remove all the OEM paint, it's really just not in good enough shape to keep, not the...

    Dead clutch pedal, can't get into gear

    @TacoJonn I can tell you don't care about this but most cruiserheads do. It's sort of an initiation thing to learn that the slang for these trucks is just "40" -- not "FJ". Take it with a grain of salt, but don't think that Land Cruiser enthusiasts 'don't care' about that. We're unapologetic...

    Ignition Cylinder Posts on a '72

    Thanks Rusty, at least I've got some idea where the wires go now. I think I might actually be in need of a new ignition cylinder, so that's gonna be my next try.

    Ignition Cylinder Posts on a '72

    Hey y'all, I could use a little help with the wiring involved with starting my '72. I tried searching but can't seem to really find what I need, so I'll just have to ask. Several weeks back, the original starter crapped out on me. Everywhere I looked seemed to recommend switching in a GR from a...

    What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

    Well nothing seems to be getting current (and it's not a battery problem; I even tried the battery out of my DD Tacoma) so it looks like it's time for some long overdue wiring diagnosis...*sigh*

    Sheridan to Charleston the long way

    Hahaha my thoughts exactly now that this thread has been dormant for a few days. I need my fill of Land Cruiser adventure stories!! And they can't just keep drying up halfway through!!!

    What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

    Pulled apart a new (to me) gear reduction starter I got to replace the old one off my '72, which had the solenoid poop out not too long ago. It needed some cleaning and some fresh grease on the bearing points. Also scrubbed down the exterior to shiny it up. (These are before pics; my hands were...

    I'm an 80 guy but always wanted a 40, some questions if you don't mind

    So the price is $15,000? I think that's a touch high for what you're getting (depending of course on how much they usually go for in your area) if there really are some mechanical issues in addition to the rust (which really isn't too bad in the grand scheme of things). Steering on the 40-series...

    NAPA Part No. for Gear Reduction Starter

    Thanks y'all. Will check NAPA's price; otherwise, I'll just go with that one from Amazon (excellent write-up, by the way @78fj40mg ).

    NAPA Part No. for Gear Reduction Starter

    Would like to install a new GR starter on my '72 FJ40 (original F motor) as the original starter is shot. I've read before that NAPA has the proper GR for newer 2F's, which apparently bolts onto an F no problem, but I was wondering if anyone had a part number or specific description I can use. I...

    "I Want My Taco--Pronto!!" Major surgery/rebuild of 2002 Tacoma

    Advice for people considering a frame swap or really any major rebuild (@ClevSix ): Most importantly, LABEL EVERYTHING. I cannot emphasize this enough! Take the time to do it upfront; it'll save you a lot of grief in the long run. Take your time. Also very important. It may seem inconvenient in...

    "I Want My Taco--Pronto!!" Major surgery/rebuild of 2002 Tacoma

    @ClevSix -- Thanks brother. It's finished up; been driving it for the past week and I love it. If you need any help with anything on tackling your upcoming project, definitely feel free to shoot me a PM. I'd be glad to help, and having done it before, might be able to give you some pointers if...

    "I Want My Taco--Pronto!!" Major surgery/rebuild of 2002 Tacoma

    Having attempted to go through Toyota for a new frame, I discovered that the PO was notified 8 times about warranty service on potentially rust-plagued frames. The owner took not action, and thus, the truck is no longer under any sort of warranty (being a 2002 model). So, we loaded the truck on...

    "I Want My Taco--Pronto!!" Major surgery/rebuild of 2002 Tacoma

    UPDATE/SPOILER TIME-- Just this weekend I finally got it inspected and registered, so it's legal and finished up. I'll get back with pics of the work, but it is finally complete! Some of the things (besides installing a new frame) include a Flowmaster 40 series muffler and a whole new exhaust...
