Hi All,
Posting my tub here since I’ve decided to switch gears and go aluminum. I’ve gathered pretty much all the pieces to put the cruiser together but don’t have the time to do it. The tub is a late model with the gas tank underneath. It’s also got those nifty door switch spots on only the...
Hi all, I’m working on small bits of my build and have run into the issue of two blinker relay boxes with blown thermistors. The original one with the truck has blown solenoids (and thermistor) and this one I picked up has just a blown thermistor.. looks like these are pretty prone to failing...
I’m my 1979 fj40 rebuild, I’m considering all options before starting to put things back together. I know fuel mileage isn’t the focus with these trucks but it makes my wallet flat just imagining the worst case scenario of getting 10-12 mpg from my 2f engine 😬
I don’t think quite have the budget...
Embarrassing thing to post but in remaking the front cross-member inner piece, I messed up and accidentally put the four holes for radiator supports ~1cm higher than they should be… this would cause the radiator to sit about 1cm higher than it should. Someone with experience (and/or a truck to...
Hey guys! I wanted to make a thread dedicated to my build. I’ve been popping by asking a few questions (everyone been extremely helpful) since I started my project but really wanted to share lots of pictures of the work I’m doing!
To give some background & context, I’ve just graduated materials...
Hey guys! Going through my late 1979 2f carb and replacing the secondary diaphragm (with the straight shaft) cause the old one is toast & nasty 🤢 I’m located in Canada and having a really hard time finding one! Napa apparently doesn’t stock them anymore and cruiser outfitters won’t ship it to...
Hi all, I just got this dash pad with a new firewall and dash panel. It's in better shape than the one that came with my truck and I am trying to avoid buying a really expensive new one. There are a couple of small cracks on this pad that don't worry me, but both sides are delaminating from the...
Hey all! I'm new to the world of cruisers (and vehicle restorations) since I got my (new) FJ40 a couple weeks ago that has been used as a farm truck for years. It's been to the bottom of a lake, had a tree fall on its hood, and seen the worst that cold Canadian winter has to offer for all of its...
