    Free parts

    I have some more parts available to anyone who has a need. One pair of late model doors. They have some rust at the bottom but if you want a pair to cut up into half doors they're suitable for trail doors. One rear axle housing from my '70 that has been cleaned and sandblasted. If you want...

    Free parts

    I've got some parts that I need to give away or send to the dumpster. They are available to anyone who will come and get them. I have an early front axle that is complete from hub to hub including what I suppose are factory locking hubs. I have a 3-speed transfer case that should be in good...

    The 79's on Ebay

    I finally took the plunge and listed the 79 on Ebay. You guys tell all your rich friends in the other Landcruiser Clubs to take a look. If it meets the reserve I'll donate $100 for the New Year's party. If you want to see the whole story on this truck check out the albums on my Facebook (look up...

    Completely restored 79 FJ40 going on the block

    I have spent the last 2 years doing a frame-off restoration on this cruiser. I went to great lengths to be sure that rust will never be a problem including stainless hardware on all the body parts that are exposed to weather. I used bed liner to protect all of the paint-to-paint body connections...

    Want to see what it takes to overhaul an FJ40?

    Most folks probably couldn't care less but, for those who might be interested, I have set up a Facebook page to document the restoration of the '79 FJ40. It's about 150 pictures (3 albums) covering the entire process. You have to register as a Facebook user (facebook.com) to view the albums but...

    2 days left to buy a cheap classic BMW

    A couple of you guys mentioned a passing interest in my BMW L6 at one time or another. It's on Ebay right now in a no reserve auction that ends Monday. It's been sitting steady at about $1600 (this is a car that listed for $52,000 in 1987) so here's your chance. Obviously if there were hidden...

    Wanted  Upper dash pad for 79 40?

    Somehow during the rebuild process I lost the upper dash pad for my 3/79 fj40. Anybody have one that's not all cracked up? Don't know what other years will fit but the 79 has the built in light above the control switches. I'd like to keep that feature.

    Need shocks

    Hey before I go spend hard earned $ on a new set of shocks for this 79 I thought I'd ask if anyone in the club has a good set left over from a recent lift. If you've got a set give me a call at 506-4000 and let's deal.

    I'm driving the 79 to the meeting Tuesday

    After more than a year of dismantling and rebuilding, the '79 is back on the road. The truck looks like it just came off the showroom floor. I'll bring it Tuesday. I'm also trying to talk my neighbor into bringing his 4WD Diesel conversion van to show you guys. I recently helped him out with a...

    Any news on our Cruiser display at a local dealer?

    I saw a new FJ parked in front of the Herrin Gear Toyota on I55 N. Which dealership contacted the club about a display? Any news on when?

    Carb Problems - won't run at low speed

    My 79 FJ40 with factory carb will not run at low speed. If I give it a lot of choke or a lot of gas it runs at high RPM but if I back off, it dies. It's as if the primary isn't functioning at all. Could this be a fuel cut-off circut problem? The fuel level in the float bowl is OK. The PO removed...

    IT"S ALIVE (but not well)

    After a year in pieces the 79 lives! I cranked it up tonight and I'm still having the same problem I had the last (and only) time I drove it. It won't idle. If I give it a lot of choke or a lot of gas it will run but otherwise it dies. It's as if the primary isn't working. I pulled the top off...

    I'm nearing completion on the reconstruction of my 79 and hope to have it ready for the local Toyota FJ unveiling. Since I completely disassembled the rig I'm going to need some help getting everything adjusted (timing, carb settings, etc.) after I get it all back together. Any volunteers...

    brake booster testing

    I've torn my '79 fj40 down to bare tub & frame and was wondering if there is a way to test the brake booster for leaks before I bother to clean it up and repaint it. The brakes were spongy before teardown so I plan to replace the MC before reassembly. All the booster tests that I found assume...
