My son and I drove the 55 to the Round up. 250 miles each way. We haven't driven it more than 50 miles since getting it 2.5 years ago, so this was a proper shake down. On the drive there we lost all charging about 50 miles from the event. Thought it was alternator, so found one in stock at a...
Hi, long time. I am trying to fix my rear window. The gear is fine, the motor is fine. It stopped going down a while back, so I finally pulled the access panel off, and after doing that it went down 1/2 way, then slowed down. I tried going up, and it went 1/4 way up and stopped. Couldn’t get...
Ben Draper aka Project Wrong Way (@1projectwrongway on instagram) flew in to pick up an '84 FJ60 that hadn't been registered (or driven) since 2003. A small gathering took place to sort it out and get it ready for the 2000 mile drive back to his home in California. @orangefj45 flew in to help...
I guess I'm not exactly a newbie, since I've been on mud for 17 years or so. I was heavily involved with the TLCC-H group 20 years ago, but then I started to make ties with the LSLC groups, and I ruffled a bunch of feathers in Houston, so I was pretty much black balled out of the Houston...
I searched, but didn't find anything, so new thread it is!
Has anyone tried upgrading the FJ55 rear seatbelts to 3 point belts? @shayahealth is concerned about safety when hauling around kiddos in the back seat of the Limo, and wants to know if anyone has upgraded the rear seats to shoulder...
I have to make a decision soon about which diesel to put in the 45. Here is my list of choices:
Cummins 4BT
Toyota 1HDT
Toyota 12HT
Toyota 1HZ
Cummins is fresh from the factory... well factory rebuilt. All Toyotas are used.
Guess I could make this a poll.

After daily driving my 40 for the last 3 years in Houston, and now switching over to my 45 I finally couldn't take it any longer.

June 18th.
Any preference for a time/place?
Is Sam's Boat in the Fountains (59s & Beltway 8) too far for some of you? Meet around 6pm?
The floor is open for ideas. :D
my fj45lpb is licensed, insured, and street legal. :bounce:
I brought it through the state safety inspection last night, and went to the tax office and got plates this morning.
Maybe I'll be able to kick back and relax a little now... probably not since my 40 just blew a head gasket :doh:
I'm trying to get everything ready and prepared to finish my rewiring this weekend, but after going through my manuals, wiring diagrams, etc. I'm still not sure what is next to the voltage regulator in this picture :confused:
Only thing that I can come up with is the hazard flasher, but I...

I'll have a couple kegs of homebrew on tap (IPA & a belgian white). I'll have the grill going, but I must warn you that we (my...
Ok, so I'm rewiring my 45 from tip to tail. The cluster that is currently in it has broken needles and a very bad paint job (I guess to match the rest of the truck). I have a perfect cluster out of a 69. Will it work, or are there changes in resistances or something like that?
thanks.
Ok, so I pulled my '65 lpb out of the garage yesterday, and spent 6 hours cleaning out the interior (it was stored for 7 years in a barn). I pulled all the interior and used my pressure washer (2600 psi) with the 0 degree tip to clean it out. I just about threw up when I was washing out the...
Ok, the Houston chapter has been around for just over 2 years, but hasn't really taken off as we had hoped it would. I figure that I'd start a thread for the Houston area people to decide on the best way to try and get a higher meeting attendance.
Initally we decided to hold the meetings on...
Well, I guess I have seen it coming for some time now, but I am really starting to not like fj40s. My 74 is completely neglected due to me starting to resent it. I used to have two 40's, but I sold my 73 to make room for the 45 in the garage. Now I'm thinking of selling my 74 just to get rid...
