    Replaced tilt/tele module key fob dead

    99 LX470. I recently purchased this LX470, the tilt tele is really dead, not a peep from any of the motors. Was informed that there's a module that controls this and replacement might bring it back to life. Well I did, didn't fix it but key fob doesn't work anymore. Had to dc the connectors on...

    Purchase FJ45 new bed mount brackets?

    That 45 refurb that I've not posted photos on for forever isn't dead yet. The body should "done" by now and will see it in a few weeks (it's in Peru). Frame was repaired a long time ago, mostly by me because I didn't trust anyone to do it by themselves... but I'd like to put new frame/body/bed...

    Im currently restoring a 71 45 , its not currently in the US but am seriously considering shipping it up för sale there. My question is, in a given condition... Såy an 8 restoration on a scale of 1-10, would the truck be worth considerably more with the 2f and the original 3sp or with a låter...

    "Bottom Barrel Restorations" and my 77 FJ45

    Well, I've never actually documented any of my Cruiser escapades and I guess there's a first time for everything. First of all I'm doing this from the middle of Amazonian Peru so, this is not going to be a high dollar resto but want to do the best I can with what I've got to work, all things...

    FJ70 rear drum brakes to 77 FJ45?

    I'm already swapping out the disks and steering, is there anything keeping me from swapping the rear drum brakes of a 90 fj70 to the rear of a 77FJ45, backing plates on out ? Thanks.

    Knuckle "centering tool"alternative?

    I'm in a third world country and ain't got time for no damn centering tool :hillbilly: Just kidding, I'd love one, just no possibility that one exists within 1000 miles of my location. So what's the alternative? Misadjusted knuckles? So what does one of these tools cost? Can I make one? Thank ya...

    Need to know if my PS PB swap plan is good to go :)

    Basically I need to take the "good parts" off my 70swb and stick em on a 77 FJ45 chassis I located, complete with removable top coolness. I'm hoping you guy's can sorta peruse my general plan here, any forewarning about problems I've (quite likely) overlooked, I'd greatly, greatly appreciate. So...

    FJ40 body onto a FJ70 swb frame?

    I know this is a weird one ;), but that's what I need to do. The other option is to use the 40 body on the 40 frame and swap over as much of the drive train to the 40. Which of these painful options would be the "easiest" all things considered? From what I understand not much of the 70 drive...

    Swap a 40 body to 70 swb frame?

    Please don't ask why :rolleyes: but I'm considering this. Anyone have any idea how difficult this would be? The other option would be to swap the entire drive train (PS 4f and 5sp) from the 70 to the 40 frame... I think neither will be a "snap", but which way would require fewer bottles of...

    3F noise excessive crank play?

    I have a 3F with a 5sp which is making a noise that I don't like. A while ago, while I was driving down a "fire road" the clutch started making a noise, worse when I depressed the clutch. Depressing clutch resulting in bearing-like noise usually means bad release bearing, so went in and...

    Ride quality of leaf sprung troopie vs coils

    I drove a 96 troopie on a long distance drive across a mountain range once, and it was a very pleasant experience. Then I had an FJ40 and now an FJ70 and life is not the same, i want long wheel base plush suspension. My question is how does a leaf sprung troopie measure up to it's later coil...

    Any hope for this mistreated 1HZ?

    So I have a hankering for a troopie, much as I love my FJ70 I want long wheel base ride. So I have located a surplus 96 Troopie with a 1HZ non-turbo engine. Odometer has stopped at 167K kilometers, has more than that obviously. Could have as much as 250K kilometers on it, I doubt more than that...

    Diesel / gasoline engine swap questions

    Hey all, my current rig is a 90 FJ40 3f/5speed. I have located a surplus 70 series troopie, year 96, non turbo 6Cyc non-turbo diesel, engine INOP. If I were to purchase this thing for the 1G US they are asking, and the motor ends up needing major work, would my gas engine "bolt in" to the...

    Change over to coil spring front end?

    I have a 90 Fj70 and have put lot's of time and money into making it ship shape, but the problem is I hate swb leaf sprung suspension. I have driven the later models with coils and well, way nicer. I would like to know if anyone knows what it takes to convert mine over, if I had a donor rig...
