    For Sale  Houston, TX: Tacoma - New RCI Rock Sliders

    My mistake, your win. I’ve got brand new standard length 5degree black powder coated rock sliders from RCI up for sale. They looked comically small on my 2020 double cab long bed when I raised the driver side slider to the frame. No bolts installed and powder coating looks fine. Passenger...

    Interior Patina / Further rust prevention

    I find myself with mixed feelings and lost. So I’m reaching out to fellow patina enthusiasts. My 71FJ40 has enough patina on the outside. Ive drunk the coolaid and rub fluid film on it a couple times a year. Where I’m struggling with is what do do on the inside. I drive my 40 and want to take...

    Hi-lift Lift locations & vintage wheels

    Hey guys, I’m looking at moving up to 16” rims eventually and have been looking at various oem lookalikes (city racer, vintiques) and realized there are no openings in the rims. Not really a big deal, except the only way I am comfortable using the hi-lift jack is by hooking into the wheels with...

    To thermostat or not to thermostat

    I am wondering if I should put my theromostat in and would like some opinions. I currently run no thermostat and have overheating issues when I go above 60mph. Have a 1969 1F engine. Since I live in Texas and it is real hot all the time, I figured if I don’t have the thermostat in I will have...

    Carb upgrade - on the hunt for more ponies

    Hey all, I’m thinking about upgrading my single barrel carburetor to one off a fj60 2f. I’ve got a ~1969 f155 in my 1971 fj40. Probably add Pertronix to that to get rid of the points. How hard is it to switch the linkage? Is it worth it? Anyone done this before?

    Been trying to figure out what is original on my engine and have given up. This is a 1971 jun 40 with a F-247543 block. I am pretty sure the previous owners have done some modifications and I am trying to get this closer to a version of stock. Things I can tell: - Carburator is a single...

    Builds  Good Dog Build

    I am starting this build thread to document my project and try to enlist help from those smarter, more knowledgeable, and bloodier knuckles than I. While i have some mechanical experience, it is a torrid history of mostly doing things slowly (typically 3-4x the quoted time) and occasionally...

    Photo Request

    Hey guys, I’m considering getting an FJ60/62, but had a question about the back cargo area. My goal for the vehicle would be to have a rig that I could lay down in and sleep in on road trips. From my reaseach, the rear cargo area is 72 inches (6ft) in length. I am 6’3” inches, so I would need...
