I've been meaning to call Georg. Just trying to make sure I fully understand the requirements first. I've never had to do much with the transmissions on my FJs and this is totally elective so trying to get myself educated! Thanks again everyone for the info.
Makes sense for the transfer case conversion, and they do include the gear and bearing. I honestly don't have an issue with the t-case so I'm not itching to change that unless there was some sort of compatibility issue. Here's everything that's in their 4 speed kit (and a link to the page where...
I've got a '72 and the 3 speed isn't cutting it, plus I'd like to get an extra gear ahead of a potential conversion to electric down the road. Has anyone had good luck with the Cruiserparts 4 speed conversion kit? It looks like a good option vs. sourcing all the parts myself individually, but...
I don't, but I'm also a recent-ish transplant to the area. I have seen a few other 40s in the south bay, not a lot of 60s, though I know there are a few around.
Agreed, PO of my rig painted the bezel poorly and refinishing it is on my every growing to-do list. What color and brand of paint did you use? That looks about perfect.

I used to own an 84 FJ40 in MI but when I moved to California there was no way it was going to pass smog or survive the trip out. Would have rusted out underneath me. So sadly I sold it, promising myself that I'd get another. Eventually picked up an FJ Cruiser, which my wife promptly co-opted...
I drove my 80 FJ40 all winter in Michigan with a top, doors and the heater and was fine. It's a pain to remove, but you can build a hoist for the cost of a few tie down straps and some 2x4s as long as you have a garage. The vents and windows also provide a ton of airflow, so leaving the top on...
1980 FJ40 located in MI $3500 OBO ***SOLD***
I've got a 1980 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ-40 that I just don't have time for anymore. It runs very well and is basically a very solid truck but is definitely suited more to trail running than restoration (Curse you MI winters). I have three cars, and...
