Hi guys,
I'm thinking about buying a 76 FJ40 for sale a few hours from here but am concerned by one of the images the owner sent me. The frame looks shot on the image I attached to this post. This looks to be the only severe rust issue on the truck from the pictures I saw. Not sure if the...
Selling four 16 inch split wheels and locking rings in CT. They are in outstanding shape and all hub cap clips are in perfect shape. No hub caps included. Local pickup preferred but I would be willing to ship to a fellow mudder. $250. PM me for more info.
Thanks,
Jarrett
I all,
What have you done to remedy the heat buildup around the tunnel and floor pan above the exhaust? My RHD 45 has a factory heat shield above the cat but the floor pan and tunnel get so hot that I cannot drive with a passenger in the truck. I don't want to bastardized the truck by sticking...
Hi guys,
I am new to split wheels and have a few questions. I just picked up a set of nice split wheels and rings. They measure 15.5".
1) Does that mean they are technically called 16's or 15's because I want to order the right tire size?
2) I am also looking for suggestions on nice...
I have an 82 fj40 and am having trouble diagnosing the source of my problem. The drivers door opens from the outside but the handle inside does nothing. The key does not lock or unlock the door. I tried luring the lock cylinder but that did not solve the issue. I did not see any linkages...
Hi guys,
I am just wondering what the correct feeler gauge sizes are for a valve adjustment in my 1984 2F engine. I thought it was .008" on the intake and .014 on the exhaust while the engine is hot. Does that sound right?
I have been drooling over this truck for years and finally had a chance to buy it.
The story of how I came to own this truck is pretty sad. When I was in high school a local cruiser fanatic got me into Toyotas. I loved all of the FJ40's he owned and soon had one of my own. He taught me to...
What is the tallest tire size I can run without rubbing on a stock fj45 pickup? I'm thinking of grabbing a pair of 265/70/15 tires to slightly increase highway speed. Any thought or experiences are much appreciated.
Thanks guys.
Thanks for the info on wheels. It sounds like split wheels are a really bad idea for my application. I will have to re-think my choice in wheels. The white steel wheels just feel cheap.....like the truck deserves better.
After selling both my 40's a few years ago I finally bought a decent 45 worthy of a restoration. This truck was imported from Australia and is super clean with low miles. I have wanted an RHD FJ45 for a while. Now I need to hunt down some original wheels and hubcaps. Project pics to come.....
Tom, I am located in Canton just East of Torrington. I goofed on the price as I rushed to get this listing up on the Mud site. I have this truck listed locally on Craigslist for $11,000 and have adjusted the price accordingly on this classified ad. I would be happy to show you this truck next...
Well it is time to sell one of my FJ40's to make room for another truck coming at the end of the spring. Hopefully someone else will love this project as much as I do.
For Sale: 1976 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 project. The complete body off restoration and customization of this truck is not...
Hi guys,
I will be looking to buy another FJ40 soon and am looking for a truck that has been restored or is in great original shape. My other 40 is to specifically built for the woods so time for a driver. No larger than 33's, rust free, 3.73 or 4.11's, stock motor. Ready to buy in about...
New pics at the new shop. I can't wait to set these barns up as my new shop. Having a ton of space to layout and work from will help speed this project up.
