I am in the process of getting my '65 FJ40 ready for paint. As part of that process, I am installing a '78 rollbar and some short jump seats. My question is what is the best way to secure the jump seat bracket to the side of the tub. My assumption is that there is some sort of welded nut on...
I'm working on repairing the firewall on a '65 FJ40 that was bastardised by a PO that had swapped in an SBC and hacked some stuff up in the process. The hole for the brake master cylinder is a mess. I plan to weld in some new metal to repair it but I have no idea what size the original hole...
I'm starting to get very close to paint on my '65 FJ40 project and I want to weld up the old booster holes and get the new ones drilled out before the tub goes to paint. I'm trying to figure out potential clearance issues for a power brake upgrade. Normally it would be easy to measure...
I need to replace an ABS sensor on my GX470. I tried a couple of times to remove the connector but it wouldn't budge. Maybe it's just stuck but I don't want to break it. Is there a trick? Thanks!
I need both the left and right rear leaf spring u-bolt plates with the shock mount stud for a '78 FJ40 like in the pic below. I replaced the original axles with some 1978 axles and the lower shock mount is different on the newer axles. Thanks!
I'm in the middle of installing a 1978 2F into my FJ40 that will replace an old worn out V8. The 2F I have has rear brackets for an FJ55 and those wont work with my 40 frame. SOR has some used ones in stock but theirs are a little pricey. I'm looking for items 12 and 13 circled in the the...
I just realized that I forgot to install the rear engine lifting bracket when I installed the head. Is it too late to pull those bolts to install the bracket? If it's OK, how should I handle retorquing of those two bolts relative to the others? Thanks!
I'm new to land cruisers and I'm in the process of freshening up the'65 FJ40 that I picked up a while back. When I bought it, it had a crappy no power SBC in it and a cracked 3 sp transfer case. I pulled that out and bought what i thought was a '78 2F engine, 4 sp trans and TC. The engine has...
I'm fairly new to FJ40s and I'm in the process of changing my FJ40 to a Toyota drivetrain from an old SBC swap and noticed holes in the frame where something was mounted at one time. After looking at some frame pics, I need to know what the circled item is in the pic below. Thanks!

Hey all - I'm trying to get my '65 FJ40 returned to a Toyota drivetrain (2F, 4 speed). When I bought it, she had an SBC with an AT mated to a 3 speed transfer case. In the process of installing the SBC, the PO cut out the tube crossmember that is right behind the transfer case. I think it...
I have a '65 40 that I'm doing a resto-mod on and I would like to upgrade the front axle to disc brakes while everything is already apart. It's my understanding that this is pretty much a plug and play upgrade. I'll be upgrading the brake master and brake lines in the process. Let me know...
I need a complete set of rivet style frame brackets/engine mounts for my '65 FJ40. ( the parts in red in the attached photo). I'm in the process of swapping a 2F in place of a SBC that a PO put in. The PO cut out all of the original frame brackets for the engine mounts
I need these shipped...
I am rebuilding a '78 2F to swap into my SBC powered '65 FJ40. I had to get another head since the one on the 2F I bought was cracked. The replacement head is a 61030 instead of the stock 61031. I am planning a few mods to the engine/head, but I need to know what the stock thickness of this...
I am looking for a guaranteed known good head for a '78 2F engine. The casting # is 61031. Let me know if you have one and what shipping would be to 47408. Thanks!
