    Removing Forward Leaf Spring "Bolts" 1981 4X4

    Bouncing away from my 1981 New Owner thread, I thought I would ask here. I am replacing all my bushings (or attempting to anyway) and am able to get the rear double shackle ones done easily. Those front ones are probably original to the truck and WILL NOT budge. Best method on all the others...

    Help Removing Winch Mounting Bar

    Work continues on my 81 pickup suspension refresh and clean up. I want to remove the winch bar and could use some suggestions. I feel dumb even asking this. It is obvious that I need to remove these four bolts on each side, but how the heck does one get at the two outboard bolts? Bent box end...

    Complete Bushing Set For 1981 Pickup?

    Has any seen or can recommend a complete bushing replacement kit for a 1981 pickup? I am looking to replace with rubber and all I’m seeing out there are polyeurethane kits. I’d rather keep the compliance of rubber. Or am I going to have to order them each individually?

    1981 Pickup 4 X 4 New Owner

    Hey mini truck mud members. I just purchased a 1981 Hilux 4 X 4 and I am going to be asking the group for help and advice as I dig into it. I have been eyeing this since I first saw it in 2020 and finally made a deal to bring it home. It is a Western Slope CO truck and May have even lived its...

    Rear Main Seal Question

    I have read numerous threads about replacing the RMS. I really like to one @Poser put together. My question is has anyone successfully replaced the RMS without removing the oil pan and rear main bearing cap? I know you run the risk of damaging the RMS, but is that risk low if you do it...

    Cruiser Lean Help

    Been meaning to post about this and just getting around to it now. The 1984 we acquired a couple years ago cam with a freshly installed OME 2.5” lift kit and all new springs. It was installed by a reputable shop in CO and looking at the springs, they appear to be correctly installed. However...

    Transmission Removal For Main Seal Replacement How To

    I have searched high and low for a "how to" for gearbox removal and main seal replacement. I did see the nice main seal thread by one of our more knowledgeable members here and that was very helpful. However, i swear that I have seen a thread (or someone's project) describing how to remove...

    Am I Nuts for Considering a Cruiser Purchase in Today's Market?

    As the title says..... I definitely don't need one right now, but the want is very strong. I also don't plan on driving it much in the winter since I would like to keep the chassis free of corrosion, so I am not in a hurry since we are staring the salt season straight in the face. I have an...

    Newb to the 100 Series - Some Questions

    Hey all. FJ60 owner here and I have absolutely fallen for the Land Cruiser line. So much so, that I want to make a 100 my daily driver. However, I live in Northern IL and we suffer from salty winters. Is a 100 as a DD a bad idea here? I see some for sale that really suffer from road salt...

    Steering Wheel Install Help

    This may be a dumb question, but how do you get the steering wheel to fully seat on the shaft? I removed mine to do some horn work and I cannot get it to seat fully. It goes to the end of the taper and stops. It is about 1/4” from the clamshell and you can see the horn pin. The only reason I...

    Front Bumper Question Re: Rounded Out Carriage Bolt Holes

    I got a pretty decent front bumper from a helpful Mud member to replace my bent one. Well the carriage bolt holes are slightly rounded and will not hold the carriage bolts. I would still like to install it since it looks way better than what is on the truck now and I would prefer to not buy a...

    Working on Bill, the New To Me 60k mile FJ60

    So I figured it was time to start a thread about my first foray into LC ownership. We purchased this 1984 FJ60 here and it has amazingly only 60k miles. First owner bought it in CO Springs and moved it to his ranch in NM. Used it at his airport and what I assume as a ranch work truck. Second...

    SMS Auto Upholstery and Brown Vinyl

    Have any of you used SMS Auto’s seat upholstery? I got a sample (brown) and it is really close, not exact, but probably close enough to look good with factory rear seats. Would love to get your impressions and maybe see some photos. I have Cool Cruisers seat cover in the front and am thinking of...

    FJ60 Leans After OME Lift Install

    So I get the low mileage truck here and am inspecting and cleaning it. The OME lift kit was installed in May and driven only 3,000ish miles until my acquisition. It has a 2.5 degree lean to the left. A very reputable shop installed the lift kit, but I am puzzled as to how it sits. Looking at...

    Chrome Headlight Trim Question

    Simple question here from a newb. I am starting the cleaning process on the 60k mile FJ60 and was using 0000 steel wool to clean the headlight trim. It seems like the circular bezel area around the light is frosted. It cleans up to nice chrome, but I got to wondering if the factory had two...
