    First 10 minutes with ‘new’ ‘64….and this happened

    I am glad you worked somthing out. Dont be jealous the older ones are under rated! I love my 1964. I think the earlier ones have a heavier gage steel for the body panels too. Somebody correct me if I am wrong there. I would not trade mine for a newer one. (maybe for a mint fj55 though)

    Yeah thats annoying about the issues after you purchased your 1964. when I purchased my fj80 a brake line broke and the rear pinion seal gave up on the drive home. I will say I tried taking an untested 1991 300 miles back home. fixed it and it was all fine after that. I feel like old vehicles...

    Dude Its really fun! I am borrowing it from Camera west out in CA but I might trade something for it. SO MUCH FUN. And zone focus is just as easy with the digital back. I need to develop a roll so I can see what it produces in 6x6. I was worried because its one of the earlier models but it works...

    I have no new projects until I get my top in. I have been testing out a new camera and got some cruiser shots yestereday. Figured I would post here. These were all taken with a Hasselblad SWC and a digital back. Super fun camera from about the same time period as the salt wagon. (sans the...

    Nicest Ever 55

    I had a kzj78 and I always thought it looked like a modern fj55 and now I know Its true!

    Seeing this makes me want a garage so bad. this would have been so much better than using some sub floor to swap an engine outside.

    What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

    Love the t100! I have allways thought they were underrated. Also looks like your place has a fantastic view!

    Soft top suggestions?

    I actually bought 8 toyota twist locks last year before I switched gears for the engine swap. But I did not get the the other parts. Thats good to know on the footman loops.

    What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

    Happy Earth day every one. Keep the earth clean by keeping our vintage cruisers going instead of buying new cars!

    Soft top suggestions?

    My guess is the b pillar is different because the different doors? the tube part seems the same to me? I love that early 40 though! its so cool!

    Soft top suggestions?

    I wish I could find some FST doors and hinges. the hinges would just be nice to have. I think I might have to mod the upper door parts as well. I have early hard top doors that have the bug windows. I think @HelloKitty65 said he had to mod them too for his early doors. Yeah troa might be one...

    Thanks! its a fun job. next school year I am teaming up with the shop teacher and we are doing an autoshop club. We are going to rebuild the SBC that I took out of my land cruiser. I will give you a shout when I get the top in. I am glad I finally bought it. I had already bought oem twist locks...

    Builds Salt wagon My first fj40 (build)

    thats a good question. I am not sure 100% what I will do. Last summer with the top off I had a 9'6 Long board sticking out the back a few times. It was not bad. My shorter boards fit perfectly in the back sticking out a little. Usually with the longboard I just put a shorter board in the bag on...

    I am reviving an old thread but I finally bought the Troa soft top kit today off of ebay. I am almost a year late since I started this thread. I took so long because an engine swap and some other things got in the way haha. I ended up buying everything from Troa because last I checked real...

    I know I am going to have to start taking some more shifts outside of my teaching jobs to pay off this top. I am jealous of your 4plus carrier! I think the dobinsons leafs are the single thing that changed how it drove the most other than the engine though. Totally worth it.
