    Clutch problem

    I recently replaced both my clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder. I’ve driven about 100 miles on the setup without issues so far until today. Noticed the clutch pedal seeming close to the floor compared to the brake pedal and as I was driving it was staying further down in the travel. It...

    STOLEN!! FZJ80 southern New Mexico

    This is a long shot, but figured I’d at least let the community know. A friend of mines single owner 1997 80 series was stolen from their house in Las Cruces, New Mexico last week. It was about 2 weeks away from being sold to me as well. Other than the sun damaged paint it was in excellent...

    Fried wire from alternator

    Pickup vs. 100 series?

    I've got a question that one or some of you may have an answer for. I'm looking at going from a full size pickup to a 100 (land cruiser or LX, possibly newer GX). Have any of you gone from pickup to SUV and if so what have been the downsides and upsides? Currently I've got an extended cab...

    To paint or not to paint?

    For a little back story, I have a pretty decent original FJ40 that was my fathers and my chariot home from the hospital when I was born. He gave it to me a few years back and I got it up and running with not a ton of work. My goal is to keep it as original as possible, but I have repainted...

    Water pump cap alternatives

    So here is the quick version of the story: I was taking my girlfriends parents for a ride in the FJ40 that, despite their encouraging words, they believed would never leave the garage and about a mile away form the house the cap I used to cap off the water pump port exploded. Today as it is...

    76' FJ40 partial restoration

    Hi There, I'm brand new to this forum as I have not really had too much to post about until last Sunday when I received a car that has been sitting in my Dads garage for the last two decades as a gift. It's a 1976 FJ40, completely stock, that hasn't ran for the last 15 years. A few interesting...
