Seen a stranded unfamiliar green with black under coated rear tub 40 series on the highway by Thetis lake at 7 this morning. Let me know if someone needs some help.
Ok so we about done air filters now and I think we came to some conclusive results, stock NA Toyota systems need upgrading after a decent turbo job.
Stink pipes! I think Toyota realized they were under sized on the 3B in 1985 especially when they started introducing turbo versions.
1984 and...

Taking a bunch of biologist types out to look at plants up north main, Jorden river area. Less wheeling, more hiking than you bunch are used too. But if any of you want to come out...
I’m doing a welding project on the rear of the 60 and have the hatch off and don’t want to put it back on with the old soggy struts.
Anyone bought oem Toyota struts or generic auto parts store? I am curious the price of both.
60 series with ball on each end.
Thanks!
I am planning on taking a bunch of botanist types up north main to look at plants. I’m the tour guide so it’s not a wheeling trip for me but if some of you wanted to join, check out the plants then separate for some wheeling you’re welcome to. For the plant group it will be around a 8-10 hour...
My cruisers have glow worms in jam jars for headlights it’s a good thing my night vision is on par with a FLIR thermal camera.
My H4 Headlight and wiring harness kit has arrived and looks great! I like how it’s double relayed and fused so if your having a problem your less likely to lose both...

Do you guys toss your old brake masters?
I’m buying a new one for way too much but years ago I bought a new cup plunger kit and rebuilt the one in my 42. Even if extremely worn/rusted they could be honed I’m sure and new plungers fitted even sleeved and be quite good for a lot more years. I...
I’m about to switch to synthetic rope, I’m thinking 3/8 anyone have info or real experience on what length you can fit on there? Obviously I would like to fit as much as possible without causing issues.
Thanks!
@OTBT we should talk about your motor problems either at the meet up this week or my place before you spend a ton of money. I might have some 3b options.
Ever wonder why your older 3B has lowish oil pressure?
I took apart one of my high mileage well used 3B’s that still ran well. If you ran it till it was good and warm then stoped at a light the oil pressure needle would be low but not bottomed out. Here is the first of what was left of the...
What monstrosity is or was on your cruiser? I want to see the ugliest bumper you have seen on a 40!
Here’s what a few of mine came with.
This bj40 came with this home brew bumper welded to the original bumper and frame. Also some sliders just butt welded to the frame.
How about this solid...
What’s the maximum shackle length you would run?
The more you increase your shackle length the more side deflection you introduce. Side deflection causes potential for bad road manners and possibly catastrophic side failure of the shackle off-roading. From my reading a 6inch shackle is that...
60 front springs are 42inches long with the axle pin centred.
60 rears are 47.5inchs with the axle pin at 22 inches from the hanger and an extra 5inches to the shackle.
So if someone were to run 60 rear leafs on all 4 corners. The front axle would move forward by 1inch and the front shackle...
It’s amazing how they are cutting up and removing this sunken wreck with an anchor chain. At least it was just a bunch of Hyundai’s.
