    Fun in the Woods :)

    Just thought I would post up some fun I had last Saturday :) All the fun took place at Reiter Trail - an ORV park on DNR land next to Gold Bar WA. It was good to get the cruiser out of the driveway :grinpimp:

    New Gauge Cluster

    My old gauge cluster was just not serving its purpose anymore. Too many mods to the drive train for the speedometer to even be close let alown the fact that the speedometer cable was broken, too short and not the right end for the new trany. And as for the rest of the gauges - the sending...

    After 8 months it's out of the garage

    I don't ever think I will be finished with it, but at least I can drive it again. :) So what do you think? This is my favorite shot. :) So far I have put in power steering, SM420 and Dana18, rebuilt and installed 69 FJ40 axles with Aussie Lockers front and...

    The best part about bodywork on an FJ40 …

    Is most pieces are flat. :) My rocker panels have taken a beating and the driver’s side had some cancer in them. Cut out the bad spot and trim 2 inches from the bottom of the fender and the rest of the rocker. Cut and shape new piece to fit the hole then tack weld in place. I used an...

    It must a sickness

    Yesterday I traded my old 72 Ford PU for my second FJ40 Land Cruiser. It’s a 77 and the back half of the body needs to be replaced. The daughter and I nicknamed it Rusty. Other then the rust in the body it runs like a charm. It still has the 2F motor and for the most part it is all stock...

    Found this today

    While driving on HW153 in WA. going through the little town of Carlton. I came across an FJ40 with a for sale sign in the windshield. The asking price is $3800.00 the phone # is 509-997-3287 I can’t take on another project and this one looks like it might make an excellent restore. Very...

    Is my front diff to shiny?

    Is my front diff to shiny? (Axle rebuild) I was thinking the Cruiser needed a little more bling. :flipoff2: Actually, I'm rebuilding an axle out of a 69 FJ40 to replace the stock 65 axle in the cruiser right now. I'm doing a mini disk swap, and going spring over. It's nice to...

    Diff Question

    Will a locker, like the Aussie or LockRite, designed for a 30 spline axel shaft, work in a carrier that originated from a 10 spline axle? I have a 10 spline front axel that I am replacing with a 30 spline. If the only difference between the two 3rd members is the splines on the spiders then I...

    PS on an F

    Yes There are kits you can buy for mounting a Saginaw PS pump on an F motor. If memory serves me, you will end up replacing the stock air cleaner as the two pieces will try to occupy the same space. I believe most will use the two front head bolts on the driver’s side to secure the mounting...

    Clutch Master Cylinder for a 1965 FJ40

    Does an original Clutch Master Cylinder for a 1965 FJ40 have an all metal reservoir? I’m asking because I haven’t found the style I have in any of the diagrams that SOR or CCOT have for clutch replacement. All the ones shown have a plastic reservoir. Mine is due for a rebuild and I don’t...

    Hay Landpimp...

    I mounted the M8000 winch 2 weeks ago, and thought I'd let ya know. I've already had one opportunity to use it too, and it worked great. Also the bumper fit like a glove on my buddys 93 chevy. He was one happy camper. Know anyone looking for a stock chevy bumper? :)
