TL;DR - I'm back on Mud and working on my Land Cruisers again.
I've been gone 4 plus years and lots has changed! I see our CLCC section has lots of new members and seems to be more active than ever. This post will be an introduction to some, and an explanation for my absence, for others. I have...
I could use some help from Ed and any of you who know more electrical than I do. From my best reading of the 79 FJ40 electrical wiring diagram, the starter is triggered by the ignition switch turned to the Start position, which is fed by the 15amp Engine fuse to the Black with white stripe wire...
I'm rebuilding an Oct 26 1986 FJ60 carb today. When I tore down this carb it was missing the G shaped retainer clip that earlier carbs have which lives under the accelerator pump plunger and spring. On early carbs this retains the pump check ball. I don't think anyone has been into this carb...
Does anyone happen to know the center to center distance between the motor mount holes on a FJ60 frame? And I have no idea why the graphic is showing up twice, and won't let me delete the second image.
I'm selling a brand new, never used, Wits' End 80 Series Fire Extinguisher Mount-Left Side for $70 shipped to the lower 48. I won this in a raffle awhile ago, and have held onto it thinking I would one day own a FZJ80 series. I doubt that is going to happen anytime soon, so I'm putting it up for...
I'm selling the pair of Asco long body fine spline hubs from my 1978 FJ55 for $420 shipped to the lower 48. The hubs are in excellent condition with only one small dent in the hub body. You can see it in the pictures below, it is minor. Note these have the period correct #7 bolts holding the hub...

Does anyone know the thickness of the crank lock washer? This part is NLA from Toyota, and whoever did the terrible rebuild on my FJ55 engine decided to throw it away. So my plan is to cut one from some sheet metal, but I have no idea how thick the stock part was. Perhaps the same thickness as...
Does an 85 2f have an oil slinger on the crank? The thing with the red X in the picture, I believe is called an oil slinger, but please correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm putting back together an 85 2F and can't find find this part in my pile, and not sure if I removed it when I took the engine...
Has anyone ever had out of spec valve springs on a 2F cause them any issues?
I've measured the height of valve springs from 3 different 2Fs I've taken apart and none meet the FSM spec. All fail the height test, but certainly needed a valve spring compressor to remove. So they have plenty of...

This is my first time replacing the ball joints on my 84 K10 Suburban and I am running into an issue with the upper ball joint adjusting sleeve. When I removed the knuckle from the axle the old adjusting sleeve was pretty much centered in the upper C.
Following the FSM, I torqued the lower...
