    Rod Weight For Engine Balance

    tech question plus a parts ask (I know this is the wrong forum for the parts ask) One of the many potentially excessive things I’m doing is balancing the engine. I found my rod+cap+new hardware to weigh in grams: 965 964 X 2 961 956 937 There’s no combo of pistons/wrist-pins offset that comes...

    Oil galley casting plugs

    1981 2F. Turns out part # 11431B, new part # 90330-24013 oil galley plugs are no longer available. Anyone do a rebuild lately and what did you do about this? I’ve ordered the 1985-later 2F threaded version to see if those will work. If not it looks like I could step up to a larger size and use...

    Bed crossmember supports factory primer

    Figured I’d share before I dispose of the original bed. I was curious if there was primer from the factory inside the support crossmembers so I cut one open to look. It’s there. 1981 US model

    Numbers stamped on block

    Anyone know why these are stamped on the block? 2F Would have been way cooler if it were 666, I’ll probably do that before I put it back together

    Inner body rust and zinc phosphate dip?

    To anyone who said FJ40’s rust from the inside out, word. I’ve decided against using paint through primer on the internal overlapping areas. Figured it’s best to have the whole tub acid dipped prior to paint. Logic is that the acid bath will dissolve any rust I can’t get to. It will create a...

    Melling MC803 Discontinued

    Hi Everyone, Just passing along that another one bites the dust. Had an order through Summit from last May for a Melling MC803 cam. Order just got cancelled. I called Melling and verified they have discontinued this product. PSA aside. I need some sage advice. I've been sitting on this...

    Dressing welds

    Curious to know if there are any experienced or professional painters that can offer an opinion. I’m new to welding and I’ve discovered body work and welding sheet metal is an art. I have half a vehicle to finish reconstructing so I don’t have time to waste. Are welds like this acceptable for a...

    Weld Through Primer

    I’m nearing reconstruction of the tub and want to make sure I do this right. It would be a tragedy to do all this work and paint then have the overlapping panels rust right away. Nearly every joined panel on the 40 is overlapped and tack welded. I’m attempting to recreate this as true to...

    Tub measurement help

    Working on panel fitment and running into some confusing issues. Hoping anyone with a ‘79 or later can help provide some reference photos and/or measurements. The current fitment issue is: the crossmember is more recessed than the original piece. The square framing was constructed based off...

    Need body mount advice

    Many of the body mounts broke due to being seized with rust or were completely perished when I took the 1981 apart. It looks like Toyota still offers most, but not all, of the bits for OEM mounts. I’d still have to scrounge up all the bolts and some spacers that aren’t available. Total cost...

    PSA regarding caulk

    Pronounce it however you want, use it often but, please stop sticking it where it doesn’t belong. My 40 has been through a lot of owners and had an exterior re-spray at some point. They caulked over a ton of areas during that re-spray and this is what you get. May the body work begin.

    Rust removal tip

    Have to plug something I’m trying. Heard about a product called evapo-rust so I figured I’d try it on a very rusted heat shield. A couple hours of soaking and you can see the result of where the liquid line was. Should be as good as new with a couple rotations in the solution. Extremely...

    Intake manifold slant

    Intake manifold where carburetor sits has a significant forward (toward front of vehicle) slant. Any idea why? 1981. I have a new riser but, that’s level so the carb will still have a forward lean. Theories include a forward lean so it sits level while going uphill because land cruisers should...

    Heat kills and need advice

    Managed to get the air rail off without breaking it, great success. But, one of the injection nozzles broke off in the air rail. Any recommendations for removing this? Also, is this valve thingy removable? It is very plugged. Thanks

    Need exhaust hanger help

    Replacing my stock exhaust with stock exhaust, or at least as close as I can make it. The hanger for the section of pipe between the cat and muffler has stumped me. I can’t figure out how to remove it without cutting it out, but then how do I install a new one? I’m removing the body this winter...
