Ive been posting on the FJ40 side of the MUD Forum for over a year and never realized there was a TRACTOR Forum???!!
Before taking on the FJ40 Project I used to dabble in the world of John Deere Two Cylinders (I still do -- just not with the same intensity). Offering up a couple pictures of...
Truck Bodies that is.
There are topics where you can post pictures of your 40 based on its color. . . why not have one for trucks with an aluminum tub?
This thread could also be a reference for people installing or considering the aluminum route. When I started my project truck an Aqualu 3/4...
I know the moderator will probably smack my fingers with the ruler but I couldnt help myself.
At least they left the hood alone o_O.
1964 Toyota Land cruiser FJ40 antique

The lower portion of my heater blower unit (that bolts to the passenger side firewall) is broken and missing a good chunk where it meets the louvers on the cowl. My fan motor works fine, not sure if anyone would part with/sell just the housing? Of course Id like one that is not...
I have read thru the archives about cutting/rotating the cross members in an early frame; even found a couple with removable cross members. I have installed a 1978 2F Engine, Four Speed Transmission, and Transfer Case in a 1972 Frame. I knew going in the fit between the parking brake drum and...
Looking for a Transfer Case Drive Gear that rides on the output shaft of the transmission for a 1978 FJ40. Mine has some wear; looking for something a little better. Feel free to reply or PM with any options. Thanks!
I was cleaning up my water pump while I have the engine out/working on my truck build. I noticed evidence of scale/leak at the weep hole so I figured it was time for a replacement. I ordered a new Aisin WPT-063 which as I understand is the equivalent to Toyota OEM. (Technically, I know Toyota...
Need a little guidance on FJ40 Transmissions. . . this is my first experience with one and it will be going into the truck I am building. Took a look inside mine today (four speed from the 1978 truck) as a matter of inspection/good protocol but also because a quart or so of water came out with...
Quick history: Making the best of a 1972 and 1978 FJ40 into one truck. Using the '72 frame because the '78 was toast. I am to the point where I am starting to piece the little things back together for the frame. Looking back I have two different types of splash shields. The top two (in...
Working thru the rear axle of the '78 FJ40. Wanted to replace axle bearings, seals, install rear discs, etc. When removing the pinion flange and rear axles I noticed some play in the rear pinion -- more than I feel comfortable bolting back together or calling "good enough." There is about a...
Needing to replace my Carb Spacer/Insulator. . . mine came to me in two pieces. Took a picture of the old one -- its off a 1978 2F Engine if that matters but it will be desmogged moving forward. Thanks for any help.
Toyota FJ40 1972 Model (Oct. 1971 build date on tag but titled a 1972). Engine was pulled before I bought the truck (PO was going to restore). Includes original engine, floor shift three speed/transfer case, etc. It has some rust but the frame is solid and I think the tub is very workable...
Starting a Thread/Topic on my '78 FJ40 Rebuild. Im new to the board but have been reading thru the archives for months trying to learn what I can to avoid asking silly questions. I am switching things up a bit -- I usually drag a tractor into the shop to restore (some of my work can be seen at...
Hello,
I'm new to the board but have been reading thru past topics over the last several months. A lot of great information here from a lot of good people. I am making a jump from restoration of farm tractors to my first FJ40 Land Cruiser -- I figure its the best of both worlds as I can still...
