Since rebuilding my front axle a couple months ago my truck pulls to the right when braking hard. I replaced the 3 soft brake lines during the rebuild. I've bled the lines a couple times. I have confirmed there is no air in the lines. It isn't too bad, maybe hardly noticeable except during hard...
I'm ready for a new lift on my 40. I'm at least ready to get new shocks but don't want to spend money just shocks if I'm gonna soon switch the springs. Previous owner had a lift from SOR installed a couple years before I bought it. About 10 to 12 years ago. I think it's a 2.5 inch but I'm not...
Sometime in the next few weeks I'm planning to undertake this project. It's time. Pretty leaky and my steering system needs a refresh.
About 20 years ago a friend helped me repack bearings on a drum brake axle and I repacked the bearings on my 100 series a few years back. Otherwise, I'm a...
This could get long winded.
My parents liked my Land Cruiser enough that they bought one of their own about 6 years ago. It's a 2000 with a TRD super charger. It had 101k miles and it's now at 160k miles. The truck came with most if not all of the parts taken off to put the super charger on so...
I don't know much about winches other than how to use them and that Warn has been the standard for decades. Although I've heard they aren't what they used to be. I have an 8274 on my FJ40 and have used it many times. I'm wanting to get something for my 100. Was highly considering getting...
Tonight, turning left and pulling into a parking spot the front end made pretty loud rubbing grinding noise. My wife thought maybe the tires were rubbing on some snow buildup. However, there was no buildup. I had her drive slowly turning sharp left then right, forward and reverse. It made noise...
I'm having trouble getting a decent set of wipers for my hundy. The last set was ok but clunked loudly when they would switch from moving upward to downward. Got really tired of it and replaced them with Michelin wipers from Costco. Had high hopes for these as they've been good on other vehicles...
Gauging interest in current roof rack which is a Wilderness Rack Sold by SOR. Maybe others IDK. If I can get enough for it, I think I will upgrade to a Front Runner Slimline II. Anyway Its in quite nice shape. No rust and nothing broken. I've got 2 shovel/axe brackets for it as well as a Hi-lift...
I have 40 but there does not seam to be anyone with a Front Runner rack in the 40 section so I thought I'd post here. To those that have one. How do you like the Front Runner? How well has it held up? Are the gutter mounts secure?
I'm looking for at least 2 FJ40 wheels to use for a trailer. If you've got some extras laying around, new or old or know of a good source where I can find some new ones, let me know.
I know, another tire thread. Its time for new tires though. Going to go with 33x10.50R15. Current set on the 40 are Toyo Open Country MT. I've liked them quite a bit but they are spendy especially because I'd like to get matching tires for my trailer. Considering the BFG KM3 as well. Anything...
I'd like to start building my trailer this winter/spring. I thought I'd post up a thread to document the process and to get some advise and input from guys who have done something similar. Don't know very much about the trailer. I think it's a home made trailer. I'm not sure how old it is...
Wondering if anyone has used this kit for '75 to '80 FJ40. Specifically wanting more info on the rubber for around the window instead of the original felt like I've got currently. Already know I need OEM door weatherstripping as I've tried another's aftermarket stuff and I'm going to tear it...
Last summer I decided it would be fun to take the top off my 40. From the looks of things I'm pretty sure it was the first time it had ever been removed. Then as fall got close I bought all the hardtop to tub weatherstripping from City Racer. I put the pieces in and lowered the hardtop. It took...
I'm tired of bouncing along on gravel and dirt roads with 38 lbs of pressure in my tires. I need an air compressor for the land cruiser that will air up tires in a decent amount of time. A few years back I bought what I thought was something that would do the job. A portable Viair. Technically I...
Our cruiser started making this noise yesterday. Today it's a lot worse. This afternoon is the first chance I've had to look at it. I'm thinking water pump? We had the water pump and timing belt done about 6 months ago. I think with oem stuff. If not the shop didn't do what I asked them to.
I'm try to find a couple factory tow hook bolts. Anyone have a couple or know where I can find them?
Ive done a google search but i don't have a part number and its hard to know I'm getting the right thing when I type in tow hook bolt for a part search. I need the longer ones from the passenger...
I need some help with my windshield wipers. My 40 has not been getting driven as much as it should. But a few weeks back my daughter and I jumped in it to head downtown. While we were out it started to sprinkle so I pulled the wiper switch and nothing happened. Jiggled it a few times and still...
I'm wanting to put a push in/out switch in the vertical location the the left of the steering wheel. Do I pry the little plastic piece out forward or push it in? Do I need to cut it. Can it be done without pulling the lower dash apart? Sorry if this is a dumb question. Did a search but couldn't...
