    Unique Seat Fabric in an FJ40 - Anyone Done It?

    Ever since I acquired my fj45, I've been dreaming about getting some custom, vintage style fabric / leather combination upholstery. At simplest, I am thinking something FJ60 style and at wildest maybe some sort of Pendleton wool fabric. I'm surprised there aren't more examples out there on the...

    Hey, All. I have a custom Retro Sound stereo installed in my FJ45. I connect my iPhone to the radio using either a USB input or bluetooth.

    What is up with the tip of my new rotor?

    Didn't think much of it when I first got it, as it looked intentional, but the more I troubleshoot my vehicle the more I want to check every box. I bought this rotor new like two months ago. I've seen uncoated rotor tips and fully coated rotor tips, but never one that is partially coated like...

    Need Help Finding Correct Carburetor Rebuild Kit for Aisan 61012

    Hey. I'm having a heck of a time finding a carburetor rebuild kit for my carburetor part number. I couldn't find anything other than a date code stamped on the carburetor, itself, but it did have a little bolt tag that shows 61012. It is an Aisan carb from a 1982 FJ45, South American.

    Dean Wheels Sizing Question

    I'm looking at ordering some dean wheels to replace those, currently, on my FJ45. My current wheels are 108mm bore, 15x7, -6mm offset and 3.75in backspacing. Of these two wheel sizes, the -5 offset would be ideal ( I a.so like skinnier wheels), but I worry about it clearing the 106.2mm bore...

    Mustard Yellow FJ45 Build - My First FJ

    Hey, everyone. I'm new-ish to the forum, just having acquired my FJ45 2 months ago. I've always admired FJ40s, and considered it a dream vehicle of mine, but was more of a BMW car guy at heart. I've owned an E39 M5, 2 x E30s, and a Z3 Coupe (regret selling this). I still own a 1990 325is, but it...

    FJ75 JDM Fire Truck Conversion. Anyone Successful?

    Hey, all. New to the forum. I've been searching for an FJ43 LC for a while, but happened across a really minty FJ75 JDM fire truck. I found a few threads of similar attempts, but most didn't have final pictures or consensus thoughts. Crusher's thread was a bit disheartening. I was wondering if...
