    Intermittent Window Switch Issue

    Good evening all, 97 US FZJ80 - I very occasionally have an issue where the DS window will not come up after auto down. It’s like there is no signal to the motor. If I turn the truck off and then restart it the window works fine, this happens once every 4-6 weeks on a regularly driven truck...

    Mini- Truck Steering Box Rebuild

    Good evening all. A little over five years ago I ditched the OEM manual steering box for a mini-truck box in my 77. At the time it was one of those mods that leaves you wondering why you didn’t do it sooner. My truck is no show princess but more of a fairly clean rig that gets driven...

    Modified Fan Clutch

    6 or 8 years back I was having some overheating issues, mostly after prolonged highway speeds or after exiting a highway. Temps would climb above the first bar of our dummy temp gauges towards the second bar. I ended up pulling the fan clutch and separating the halves and the silicon had...

    Up for sale are 5 Milestar Patagonia MT’s sized 315/75/16 (35”). Tires were purchased in Feb 2020 and have just shy of 10,000 miles on them, mostly city driving and one weekend of wheeling.

    Commercial Shipping

    Gents, finally getting ready to shop front and rear bumpers for the 80. What is everyone doing for the commercial shipping / forklift requirement for shipping? Does Edwin accept shipping at Landcruiser Specialists? I'm super close to his shop.

    Local 100 Build Discussion

    Gents, I’m posting this local since a number of you have nice 100’s and I’m up for suggestions and advice. I brought my 99 back from Idaho for the winter since I ran my DD 4Runner north to hand off to my daughter. I’ve got 186 on the clock and was planning to do the timing belt, gear oils, ATF...

    A New Lease on Life

    My first LandCruiser (FJ40) came courtesy of a 50-50 JV with my father back in 1985. I was one year out of college and still young enough to know it all when my dad and I passed a 40 on the side of the road in El Paso, Texas with a For Sale sign in the window. We’d always talked about getting...

    No back on old Pilot Bearing

    Doing a clutch job on my 77, rear main, oil pan gasket etc. I just pulled my pilot bearing and it’s open on the back side, it’s a Koyo bearing 6202Z. Anyone ever see this before? Old on the right and new from Kurt on the left. Had a ring of dried grease in the cavity but no sign of the back...

    SOLD  Aussie Locker

    Ive got an Aussie Locker for an FJ40 that’s been on the shelf for a few years that I’m not going to use. It came in a 40 that my wife purchased from Tucker74 and I reinstalled the spiders before the truck went to a nephew. This locker was not in the 40 for long (probably about one year) and is...

    0 J 2 In a box

    I was given this carb a few years ago by a local Mudder and since I'm planning to refresh mine, I thought I'd rebuild this one as well. 1. Date stamp and location of stamp makes me think it's got a born on date of October 2, 1980. Can someone confirm that? 2. None of the normal vacuum...

    1976 fj40 - 3fe

    My wife purchased this 40 last summer from a long-time forum member to have as a second FJ40 in the household. Unfortunately its just not getting the use we envisioned so we are going to pass it along to someone else to enjoy. Below is the original sale posting from last year which contains...

    Rear Drums & the scope is growing

    Started a drum overhaul yesterday, my last project before Roundup and its one problem to the next. First up was a DS seal leak, I found my breaks covered in gear oil. Not ideal but I had a seal in the parts boxes so I started into the diff. Unfortunately when I pulled the center pin and...

    Parking Brake Drum

    I'm rebuilding my parking brake and wanted some advice in the drum condition. There appears to be some scoring where the drum contacts the seal and the TC output shaft. Does look bad enough to warrant replacing the drum?

    Real Time Fan Clutch Removal

    Working on replacing my fan clutch. I have pulled the radiator and shroud, removed the 4 retaining nuts and can't get the clutch to budge. What am I missing? Looks like it should just separate from the pully.

    Suggestions for Winter Shut Down

    Hey gang, I have taken my 99 100 to my second home in Idaho where it will stay in perpetuity. With winter temps likely well below 0F, what are best practices for storing her for the winter? BTW, I changed all lubes to full synthetic and strengthen the coolant and she will be inside.
