Hi :)
I though it was about time I posted up a few pics of my recently acquired FJ45V. Did you know the "L" in LV stands for left hand drive? RHD versions were just designated as FJ45V so I am going to call this rig the "V Wagon".
I first became aware of the existence of the FJ45LV while...
I came across these advertised as early Landcruiser hubcaps. Ive not seen these before so I'm thinking no way they are Landcruiser. I only know of the early "acorn" style and the later flying saucerish style (does it have a name?).
Any chance they could be for the Australian market only or...
Hi, I've got an 1984 FJ45 troopy that has had a 2H swapped into it a few years back. Anyway, it has been getting progressively more smokey in recent weeks. I would call it "blue" smoke and it is at its worst under load in 4th or 5th gear. There is plenty of rattle from the motor too esp at...
I picked up a basket case 1974 FJ45. The firewall plate says FJ45P. Can someone tell me what does the "P" stand for?
A few pics just for fun too. And why is my roof held down with clamps at the top of the windsceen when the rear is bolted to the tub? Was this normal practice for some...
I picked up a 1974 FJ45 last week. Total basket case that I got for parts but the more time I spend on her the more I think she deserves another chance.
I'm trying to get the engine running enough just to see what sort of shape it is in. It has had a 2F swap: engine #383XXX which I think makes...
I thought I would post up in here with all the knowledge you guys have of the early cruisers. I have some questions and you may find the cab interesting too! I finally picked up this 1962 FJ45 cab yesterday after a 5 1/2 hr round trip mercy dash to save it from being scrapped. I had to save this...
Found this 45 cab. What you see is what you get, but I think it is rare enough to give it some extra thought. So, I posted over in the 40 section and understand it is probably pre '64. I've never seen one of these fixed top, short cab 45's here in Australia before. Trucks this early are super...
I have a few questions about my '69 FJ40. I've had it for a few years - got it off ebay as an unfinished project for $500 - mostly there, but mostly in bits. I havn't got around to doing anything with it yet. Moved house twice, two little kids yada, yada. The day will come and I'm getting...
I'm sure you guys will appreciate a few pics of this one with all the stuff you could ever wish to bolt on. You may even find some tech to talk about:D
Not mine (I wish!), not affiliated, just see it parked outside of a TJM store here in Brisbane. Beaudesert rd, Acacia Ridge if you want to...
Saw this, thought of you 80 ppl and took some pics:
Not mine, not affiliated and know nothing about it and have nothing to do with Mike Davis Automotive;p
Needs some bigger rubber IMO.

Since I picked up my Troopy about a month ago I've been dying to share so here she is:
Specs: 1984 FJ45, 220 000klms, strong 2F(rebuilt 20 000klms), 4 speed, stock suspension, 31x10.5 tyres (will need replacing), Power steering, front discs, duel batteries, basically a good stock rig:)
Some...
My troopy has a PO custom job rear tyre carrier and I have problems with it always wanting to swing shut depending on the slope I'm parked on. Need to get in and out of the rear ambi doors alot with work and it's becoming a bit of a pain in the arse, not to mention the banging of paintwork on...
Just surfing and felt the need to share.
Here's an extra one for starters:

Scratched an itch today by going to the wreckers. Picked up a square bezel (just for a rainy day), and a hood ornament of a '69. au$45 so the price was right for a lazy saturday morning with nothing much to do!
Anyway, the hood ornament is nice and straight but will need restoring before I...
Hi all, I'm looking for info about the heater cowl vent that seems to be a feature on older 40's. I have a fibreglass tub that is moulded with out any of the normal slotted vents located on the tub cowl between the doors and the front fenders. You all know the ones but here is what I have now...
When looking for an off-road trailer or making one is there an ideal length for the draw-bar? Is as short as possible best or the other way around? Or would you look for something else when thinking of overall length factors?
Why are there no(?) dual axle off-road trailers? Would two axles...
Wondering what people have used to replace the chassis rivets. I'm putting ideas together for a rear bumper and thinking about replacing the rear cross member and incorporating the new bumper into the chassis. To do this I would have to drill out the old rivets and replace them with something...
