My wife rolled her 99 about a year ago. She was 2 blocks from the house and was going around 15 mph. A sudden snowstorm created a thin layer of ice on the road and she slid while coming around a corner. Driver input had no effect on the slide and the truck did a 180 before dropping off the right...
Thanks, I could never bring myself to paint it because of the patina. Original color was white.
I found one interior pic on my computer:
I can go out and take some more here shortly. Let me know if you want to see a particular aspect.
Selling my unrestored 1967 FJ40 Land Cruiser with a 1974 F155 motor. Original three on the tree. I have owned this truck for almost ten years and it has been driven regularly since I bought it. It runs strong and wheels strong. It is far from perfect, but it is a solid truck.
The good:
Body is...
I am MountainGoat from the Rising Sun forum, the guy who helped rescue the truck along with Ige (Nuclearlemon). The way he got into that spot was pretty understandable. He drove it over the top of the pass and was working his way down the backside. It has a couple of saddles with drops before...
Hi Dave,
Welcome! :flipoff2:
It is pretty easy to do yourself. I live in Conifer and there's a great shop up here: CTS - Colorado Toyota Specialists, 26366 Sutton Rd. Conifer, CO (303) 838-4772. The owner is Joe Calleja and he's been working on Cruisers for years. It's a fair drive from the...
Welcome! :flipoff2:
That's a nice lookin 40. You scored man.
That Longboard Lager looks mighty tasty too. GOOD STUFF :grinpimp:
Now get some more pictures of the truck posted up, eh?

I'll trade you my tan 3rd row seats from my 95. I live in Bailey and I ain't skeered to drive down there (or meet halfway). I'll pm you contact info.
Dan
Thanks for the welcome everybody!
Martin and wesintl: I hope to make my first Rising Sun meeting next Wednesday. Maybe we'll get a chance to meet.
But for now it's on to the FAQ and SEARCH features to get answers to a million nagging questions. Don't worry, I'll post up any that I don't get...
Thanks guys.
Ned: I plan to keep it as stock as possible. Maybe an OME lift and some 31s. (I know, famous last words). I have it in my DD rotation with my 80 and my mini truck. Lots of good trails within spitting distance of my house, so I'll definitely be wheeling it.
Texx: What, the wipers...
Hello!
Last Friday I scored my new cruiser and I wanted to show it off. First let me say that I've been a Toyota guy ever since my brother bought a brand new 1975 FJ40 off the lot (before I could drive) back in the day. I had always had mini trucks and 4Runners up until two years ago when I...
Yeah but that's a TRD oil cap. It will get you about a 5 HP increase if you buy it and put it on. I know that's not a lot, but believe me - you will really notice it in the seat of your pants.

I am curious about how the STTs work on icy roads. I need to get some better tires for the :princess:'s 4Skinner. I have TrXus MTs on my 80, and they are the shiznet but they are a little loud on the road. I was gonna just go with BFG ATs but I like the look of these tires. However, excellent...
