Hey all, after much unsuccessful searching for a grenade shift knob for my 1974 FJ40 that fits the M10 x 1.25 gear shifter, I decided to just make them myself. I’m going to start with a batch of 10 of them at $50 a piece shipped to you. Please PM me if interested or if you have something cool to...
I’ve looked through lots of threads but wanted to pose the question yet again, on tires and wheels for my ‘74 fj40. If you have any information on part numbers or where to source, please let me know. I’d really appreciate it. I’d like to go with a somewhat original style wheel, looking something...
I’m looking for an appropriate fsm for my fj40, I can’t seem to find a reasonably priced Toyota one. Any suggestions or recommendations to another one that would be adequate? Thank you
I’m picking up a 1fz for my fj40 as it has no engine in it currently. I’ve tried searching, but haven’t been successful in finding the results I’m looking for.
I’m trying to find some build threads that have some documented information where they have put a 1fz in their fj40. Does anybody have a...
Hello all! I’m getting stuff done, but a little slower then I’d like and often find myself asking what’s next - I usually know what’s next but don’t know how. I’ve been doing more sanding and I’ve also gotten a good bit off like the hood, grill pieces, etc. Where should I go from here?
Hello all, I’ve got a ‘74 40 and I’m in high school, so everyone’s asking for gift ideas. I’m looking for any suggestions for fj40 gifts that I could put on my list. Thinking of parts pieces etc. Under 50$ is best, but I know that is virtually nothing. Thank you!
2fe Engine Questions
I’ve really been starting to try and understand the engine lately as I am not very mechanically inclined, but I’d like for that to change and I figure there’s only one way of that to happen - research, questions, and more questions. I’ve started around the cylinders and...
Looking through all of the various parts I’ve received with my fj40. I have a lot of parts, but I noticed I don’t have a flywheel. I also picked up an f engine and I am curious to know if the flywheel from the f engine can fit on the 2f properly?
So, although it won’t be that time for a good little while, I’ve been torn apart trying to decide what color to go with. For a while I was set on Capri blue, hence the name - CapriCruiser. Now I’ve also started to consider a spring green and some other colors. Any suggestions?? Also, has there...
Hello all, could I please get some suggestions for treating very minor surface rust. What I'm thinking right now is sanding away paint until smooth, spraying on phosphoric acid, wiping and sanding all rust away, then putting on primer. I will do it all in sections, and then once everything is...
- High school student looking for my first car
- trying to stay away from much rust
- don’t mind putting in some sweat equity
- preferably hardtop
- dings and dents are ok
- using my own money so I’m on a budget but I am very determined to get one
I was looking at a 1969 fj40 with a bikini top. It’s got an F engine, and I realized I probably want to go with 2F. I decided I’d rather go with a hard top then a bikini or the soft top. I also viewed a 1973 with a hard top and a Chevy block engine. They both had a bit of rust which was covered...
I am new to Mud and this is my first post so please forgive my ignorance. I look forward to becoming a Landcruiser owner soon. I am in high school and I am looking at this for my first vehicle.
I’ve been considering the purchase of a Fj40. I particularly like the 1969. I’ve done numerous...
