Hi folks,
looking for engine mount Insulators for my engine swap: one can choose (here in Europe) between OEM (200 euros/piece) and Aftermarket (for as low as 45 euros/piece).
I wonder if this part is not a cosmetic one and OEM parts are worth the money spent. What do you think about it?
Any...
Hi folks, doing a suspension research for my future J45 resto.
Does anybody have experience with the Aussie Tough Dog products and particularly with their suspension parts and/or kits?
Any contribution is valuable...
Collecting parts for a 2H (1985) swap into a FJ45.
Looking for the REAR motor/gearbox mount.
I'm keeping the existing 2F 4spd box, so can I use the existing 2F REAR mount too (Insulator, 12371-61020)?
Or I have to go for the 2H specific part (mounted on HJ47/early HJ60, Insulator 12371-68010)...
Hi folks,
time to service my 40-Series and, after a long pause, bring it back to the road again...
I changed the gear box oil: according to the owner's manual the specs are API GL-4 or 5 and viscosity SAE 90.
Went to my local parts shop and they gave me this gear oil: specs GL-5 and viscosity...
Hi folks, do these rims are OEM Toyota?
If positive, from which model, Series-80 or later, Hi-Lux?
It seems that they fit perfect in the 40-Series...

Dear all,
gathering parts for my future BJ45 resto and purchased a good 2H engine (300,000 km/190,000 miles). Got it from a German friend who swapped it in his 1985 HJ60 for a 12H-T.
Now I found here in Greece the relic/hulk of another German 1985 HJ60, sitting in the mountains since five years...
Dear all, I need your precious advice:
Planning for a frame off resto of my beige J45 pickup a few years down the road, so started to order and collect parts. When ready will send it off for rust repairs/painting to a local shop I trust.
The bed/tray I have is lacking the central floor panel...
Just came across these beauties: For Sale - Oem steel wheels 16 x 6.5” - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/oem-steel-wheels-16-x-6-5.1176050/
Old school look (non split) rims, ideal for my J45 Pickup!
I would be grateful, if I could have a part number, any help please?
Dear all:
looking for a new suspension with stock height/zero lift (if possible) for my J45 PickUp resto, got this info about Milner Off Road in the UK. They seem to be well established in the Kingdom and their prices look really attractive...
Another interesting point: they combine their leaf...
Well folks, I need your help to decide for my future 40-Series PickUp resto here in Greece.
As I have no experience with the 2H, your input and thoughts are valuable to me, thank you!

Did the US Armed Forces ever use 40-Series vehicles?
Apparently yes, at least during Operation Desert Storm, 1991.
If anyone has more pics/info, please upload...
These Cruisers seem to be 1981/82 FJ45 PickUps:

Any experience yet?
I would appreciate your valuable...
The search of our co-Muder CapriCruiser from FL for the 1FZ swap in a FJ40, recalled me a time I visited the U. A. E., several years ago.
I served for a while in the Middle East and I used to have a connection, Chris, in Dubai.
I knew this guy from the Athens (Greece) TLC club. He had, like my...
Dear all:
does anybody know what is the difference (if there is any) between 2LT engines with black head covers and silver head covers?

Dear all,
I am looking for a new Dashboard Cluster unit for my BJ45. The Cruiser is a 24V vehicle.
