Thanks in advance for bearing with me. Here is the short version of a long story: I bought an FJ45 off of BaT in 2017 link here . Needed some stuff done, got a case of while-your-in-there and 50k later, it's a great truck, but doesn't fit my family's need (married 4 kids) and I would like to...
Hi, looking to sell as a package deal. I am asking $80k. If you are still interested, read on:

Our FJ45 didn't sell on BaT in November, but we are still interested in selling/trading and moving into something for family friendly (we are 6 now). All the information I could think of is in the BaT ad linked here , but if anyone has more specific questions that weren't there, I can dig them...
I feel like such a dunce. I am trying to change the wiper blade on my FJ45 (1963 build - still has the old style blades) and I can't get the hook on the blade over the slot on the wiper arm. Theres just not enough clearance. Is there a trick to this that I am missing? Thanks.
Hello all. Trying to diagnose a charging issue with our 64 FJ45. F engine, original (looking) alternator, newer looking voltage regulator. Newer (within the last year) interstate battery.
Haven’t had a problem with the truck until one day I went out to take my older son to karate and it...
Anyone out there have old Selectro parts, I’m looking for the hub body, but if you have the whole shebang I’ll just use what I need and store the rest. This is going on a 1963 SWB FJ45, so coarse spline. Thanks, shipping is to 93065.
Good morning Braintrust. I have a dilemma. This is my truck. I have had it for 2 years, haven’t driven it a ton as I had some brake issues and eventually a bad head gasket. Will be looking for a new caretaker soon...1964 FJ45
Well, got a call today and the head is cracked in all cylinders.
My...
Hello hello. We bought her 2 years ago from a member here via BaT when we were a small family, but with twins coming in February and poor compression in 1 cylinder, it's time to move on to something bigger. This is not an official for sale ad or anything, I just wanted to let you guys here know...
Hello all. I am trying to budget for my disc brake conversion for my '63 build FJ45, and I am fairly certain I am not going to be able to fit my current wheels with the new assemblies. Whats the going rate for these as a set of 5 with the tires? These are the best pictures I have of he wheels...
Hello gents (and ladies). First time posting in this forum, but I've posted before in the 45 forum, and in other various vehicle forums. I am having a brake issue that I am hoping someone can shed some light on:
1964 (1963 build date) FJ45 with drums front and rear. Dual circuit I am fairly...
Well, finally got the brakes mostly sorted out. Now starting to go through the engine and figure out why I seem to have a pretty good oil leak, especially when running.
The one 20 minute drive I took her on, she was pissing water from either the bottom of the radiator or a hose by the end, and...
So in another thread I sought help in finding a rear brake tube for my 63 FJ45 swb, which I was able to make happen. Now that I replaced the tube, I bench bled the master cylinder (didn't have to pump it very much. Got a rise in fluid level when I pumped, a fall when I let go, and no signs of...
Hello there. Sourced my brake issue to a broken hard line, the one that connects the left rear drum and follows the rear axle, over the diff, and into a valve/manifold of some sort. Picked up what I thought was the correct replacement from SOR, and its close, but where it threads into the left...
Hello hello! New member here from Simi Valley, California! Picked up (or rather, it's getting dropped off) a '64 FJ45 SWB from Oregon. Been sitting for a few years, but it's in good shape with no rust. Looking forward to becoming a part of the community! First steps are to install seat belts...
