Another freaking tire question:
I've been running 315 KM2's on my 97 for about 2 years. Love em in the rocks but not so much on the street. I found a cheap set of OEM wheels and plan to either run street tires and keep my KM2 set for off road OR I may go with a good set of AT's and sell my...
History: Own a S/C 97 with a Mallory fuel pump with 168,000 miles. Had the rig 3 years with zero problems. I did a PM HG replacement last year with all the recommended maintenance (shaved/cleaned the head, cleaned the injectors, fuel filter, etc.). The S/C and Mallory fuel pump has been on the...
I installed a new Toyota starter rebuild kit last summer during my PM head gasket replacement. The starter works great about 90% of the time. The other 10% of the time, it makes an awful grinding noise which dissappears after the second attempt. Other times the starter does nothing but after...
Hello all,
I'm have a land cruiser addition problem. Owned many over the last 12 years. Currently have a 1997 S/C 80 with a FOR lift on 35's with Slee armor. I picked up a 66 FJ40 last year that needs a few things but is rust free. I'm looking to have some fun with fellow cruiseraholics on...
I check C-list every now and then for land cruiser parts for my 40 and 80 TLC's. I came across a 1985 BJ70 in the midwest with 247,597 miles, LHD, 5-speed, non-turbo diesel, rusty rear panels, good frame, 3" lift (brand unknown), salvage title (don't know why) for $7000. It comes with a turbo...
I found a good rear bench from an 88 Dodge Raider at a pick & pull yard for 30 bucks. My 66 FJ40 front bench is not too comfy so I'm considering buying the front buckets too and having a pretty matching set. :p
Anyone done this? Good results?
Thanks. Doug
Recently picked up a 66 FJ40 with only half of the parts for the vacuum transfer case shifter. The PO actually rigged up a wire through the floor board to shift from high/low...extremely janky. Is the original vacuum setup not reliable? I know a guy selling a used floor mounted setup for $130...
I picked up a set of used rear 2.5" Safari Springs and matching shocks for my 66 FJ40. I need front springs and was wondering if matching the Safari brand for both front and rear is important for ride quality and performance.
My reason for this question is simple...I had a really $hitty...
Bought a 66 FJ40 with a smog equiped 350 awhile back. All electrical stuff worked. Since then I removed the janky radio setup that was powered by the wiper motor. Now the headlights no worky and the wipers only work if I bridge the fuse holder bracket to the screw holding the wire on the fuse...
On the afternoon of Fathers Day, I headed out to grab some steaks at the local Safeway. On the way home, I noticed a clean FJ40 sitting in a lot with a for sale sign. Long story short, within about two hours, the 40 is sitting in my garage and I'm trying to figure out the best way to break the...
I have an air to liquid intercooler setup on my 97. As you can see in the picture, the tank that holds the antifreeze liquid protrudes out from the frame rails by several inches. This worked fine with my previous ARB bumper but not with the tube style bumper I just bought. I don't see any...
