    A better method for running board removal

    I did a bit of research before removing my running boards and it seemed like most people were removing the clips that hold the running board to the rocker panel, trimming the running board down, and then reinstalling. Looking at the parts diagram the running board consists of a few parts...

    Emblem measurement request

    I am asking for a favor but this should be a pretty easy ask. Can I get the width and height measurement of the GX460 rear "L" emblem? I am trying to determine if the 460 and 470 emblem are the same size. The 470 emblem is approx 4 5/8" wide and 3 1/8" tall. Thanks :cheers:

    Prado 120 sub tank in a GX470 - has anyone done it? Well I’m gonna try!

    12/1/2021 edit: swap is complete and functional :cool: Has anyone added a Prado 120 sub tank in their GX470? I know there are aftermarket options available but the possibility of using the OEM tank is interesting and seemingly (possibly?) less expensive. Adding this sub tank increases the...

    Maybe dumb question - spider gear spacer in front axle

    I am swapping a C-clip rear third member into the front of my FJ40, does the spacer that installs on the center pin of the spider gears get used in the front differential? Looking at the parts diagrams from Toyota is is only shown in the rear diff so I am guessing it is only used with C-clips...

    Wanted  Used 80 trunnion bearings

    I am building a 80/ 9.5 front axle and need a set of trunnion bearings for the mock-up, I did not get them when I pulled the donor axles. Preferably inexpensive, I am hoping someone has a set laying around from doing a knuckle rebuild.

    Fair market value for my '79 FJ40

    This is crazy...I know, but after owning my FJ40 for the past 18 years (my first car to now) I am considering selling it. My current life situation makes it hard to justify keeping it. My wife is currently pregnant with twin girls, we also have two boys 4 & 6. We are not in any kind of...

    This thread is the result of many hours of research and questions asked. I am using it to compile the final data for how to desmog a 79-80 FJ40 while still retaining beneficial systems. This is not intended to be a debate on the merits of desmogging your vehicle, those discussions exist...

    Critique my '79 desmog

    The configuration shown here was arrived at from review and research of multiple threads, however, as many of you know the '79 and '80 configuration is a bit unique. I have everything taken apart to rebuild the carb and replace the manifold gasket, so I figured this would be a good time to...

    9.5 third member casting strength difference

    Is there any strength advantage, or other advantage to using a FZJ80 third member as a basis for building my differentials over using a FJ40 or FJ60 third member? For those unfamiliar with the difference: FZJ80 third member: FJ40/60 third member: The castings are different with...

    79 Desmog - Vacuum source for thermo valve - HAI?

    I am working on fixing some of the dumb things I have done to my 79 FJ40 over 14 years or so of ownership. One of these dumb things was a hack job desmog. I am trying to hook the HAI (hot air intake) system back up, from my research the 79-80 model is different than the later FJ60 system which...

    I drive a 79 fj40 with the stock engine (im not swapping unless for another toyota engine), its my only car. I really want an overdrive transmission, I do a lot of driving on the highway but I cant justify spending over $2,000 on an Aussie 5 speed. What options are there for a later model...
