I will be coating my 69 FJ40 this spring after the overhaul. I will be using Raptor Liner. All the parts will be coated separately then reinstalled. All parts are going to be fully coated on both sides, including the underside of the tub and firewall. 20 years ago I undercoated the rear wheel...
The canadian contingent comes through!! Ratpuke lined me up with Gladly and he is going to give them a hand.
A public THANK YOU!! to Ratpuke and Gladly. the cruiser connection is far and wide.
Thanks again,

I'm cross posting this from Chat in case someone might have a contact.
Hey guys, my son and friend are driving back to Alaska from college and had their alternator went out. There in a late 90's Ford F-150. Their with another truck and are swapping batteries to...

I think it would be a good idea to have the phone number for 40 mile air and the Tok NAPA just in case. It's not that long a run and a couple of trucks could run out in and emergency but AIR SUPPORT is always a good thing!
I'm wishing I wouldn't have signed the contract for...
Do you really need a new bushing? have you miked the one in the block? or are you just wanting to replace it because of the rebuild. Or did you hot tank the block and ruin it?
Inquiring minds want to know.

Did you reconnect your air flow sensor on the tube from your air filter?
What does the exhaust smell like? Coolant? Head gasket after long trip?
All of your plug wire tightly connected at dizzy?
Check all the simple stuff first.
Good luck

I place my high lift jack base along the bead and then pop the bead that way. Break the bead on both sides of the tire. Then using "real" tire irons you can pry the tire bead over the wheel bead area. It's a workout but a good thing to know if you have to patch a big hole, insert a tube or sew a...
Guess the Alaska boy isn't going to Miami :-)
The transponder chip and or ECU was involved. Woohoo I got one!
Good hear things are normal and the "trust factor" can be reestablished in the truck.

Does the vehicle have an auto start installed? If so It could be a transponder key issue. Many times installers will tape a transponder key under the dash next to the key cylinder so that it reads a transponder key code.
I would also try another key. The transponder chip in the ignition key...

Hey Natergater did you ever come to any conclusions on this noise? I'm trying to diagnose a noise like yours.
Thanks,

My hypothesis:
Engine ran nearly dry, for a significant period of time. Wore the oil pump past acceptable tolerances. Now the pump can maintain satisfactory pressure with cold, viscous oil, but cannot with hot thin oil.
Next Step:
Another Land Cruiser mechanic suggested to me today to...
How long have you been running synthetic oil? If this is the first time, did you change the filter frequently? Synthetic will clean the engine better than Dyno oil and release sludge that can clog a small filter quickly and eventualy lead to restricted oil flow and bearing damage if the pressure...
I doubt that it is your oil pump. These engines use a two part rotary pump that is located in the timing chain cover and is constructed of very heavy duty stainless steel.
How many miles on this truck? Did any thing happen to the engine prior to the low oil pressure situation, Other than the...
Be very careful here !!!!
As a person who is now replacing an engine in his 96 80, I have learned a lot about these engines in the last week.
These engines rely on a pressure relief in the oil filter to by pass the filter if it is clogged. There is no mechanical by pass in the engine...
Yep that's my rig. Funny to check into Mud and see a link to my site.
The wheels I'm running do have the same back space as the OEM ones. The 36X13.5X16 Radials stuff real nice with the rear mud flaps removed. They hook up very well in the dirt and mud and I'm blown away how well they do on...
