    Seam sealer applicator gun

    I’m currently prepping the cowl seam for new seam sealer. I have the 3M Urethane seam sealer and now realize that it requires an applicator gun. Curious if any of you guys have one to loan, sell or let go. Would be interested in alternative applicator guns too, if you know of any. Thanks.

    Timing gear cover gasket install

    I replaced the time gear cover gasket today. It started to bulge when torquing it down to spec. I backed ofon the torque. I used the FIPG on both sides of the gasket. I’m planning on moving forward. Any reason I shouldn’t? Just trying to get it back in the road. Also, when I installed the crank...

    Removing the oil pan gasket

    I dropped the oil pan( and scrapped away what I could of the old cork gasket. What is left is the two ends(front/rear). I don’t want to damage the surfaces, but I am having a heck of a time getting the old gasket off of there. So far I have just been using a gasket scraper, hammer and elbow...

    Driver side spare tire latch repair

    I know there were only a couple years of the FJ40 that made use of the plate style spare tire carrier on the drivers side(‘75-‘77?). On my ‘76, the hoop had worn down, chipped away, was all fouled up for the past 15 years or so. Bungee cords, cable ties and springs have all been used to keep...

    Respect the 40

    A few weeks ago my brother (@GEMatulich) and I drove from Olympia Washington to Eagle River Alaska. We were in a 1976 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 that our mom bought new in ‘76. Our parents drove the cruiser through South America between 1977 and 1978. Growing up they would tell us stories of...

    40 series fly rod holders

    With my ‘76 Forty being back on the road, I was in need of a safe, secure, and durable way to transport fly rods ranging from 9-16’ in length. The design is not anything that has not been done before, however the price was just right. Less than $50 for weldable steel, fender washers, M8x1.25...

    1976 FJ40 hesitation and backfire

    I am having trouble getting the forty to drive above 45mph consistently. On flat ground I can cruise around 40mph, once I begin to give it more throttle and get over 45mph it bucks, hesitates and backfires until I ease up on the gas and get it back down to 40mph or less. On occasion I have...

    '78 and later wiper motor cover dimensions

    Would someone provide the dimensions of their '78 and later wiper motor cover(length, width, depth)? I have a '76 and I'm in the middle of replacing the orginal wiper motor with a volvo wiper motor. I'm thinking a larger cover may be a better fit.

    Selectro hub

    I noticed gear oil and/or grease coming out of my Selectro hub on my '76 FJ40 for the past several months. I decided to take off the hub and take a look. The metal ring (which I am guessing engages the wheel or not) was broken it two. Okay. I removed that metal ring and put the cover of the...
