FS: 1978 Toyota Landcruiser FJ40
I have to sell because I'm going back to school :(
Truck runs strong, always starts up quick whether it's 40 above or 25 below. The previous owner had the head rebuilt just before I bought it. 15x8 black spokes/31' mud tires with good tread on them. Body...
WTT/WTS: 1978 FJ40 (BC, Canada)
Looking to trade it for a 4 cylinder import truck or car. Or sell for 4500
Here's the pitch....
With summer supposedly starting pretty soon, this thing is perfect with the top and doors off for driving around and attracting the ladies. I tied the knot last...
I had 31x10.5 muds on 15x6 rims. I changed the tires over to some newly painted 15x8 rims (and had them balanced) as the tires were bulging out too much and contacted the TRE at full right turn.
Steering was "fine" before (albeit pretty loose), but after theI put the tires on I've got a fair...
Did a search through the archives but just thought I'd get it absolutely straight.
I can take off that whole deal and plug the holes at the tank (3 vacuum lines?). The only line I need to keep is the larger diameter one that goes from right beside the fuel filler neck to the top of the stock...
I'm trying to fit the rear hatch to a '78 Hardtop and need a couple things...
- Where do the lift struts bolt to on the hardtop? Could someone take a quick measurement for me? Pics of how the struts are mounted (to the hardtop and the actual hatch) would be great too, the hatch I have...
I'm putting the winch back together with the new bushings and I have a quick question about installation.
I had spoken to the last dealer of the Belleview Winch parts (MN4WD?) and he had recommended that I purchase a seal in addition to the stock bushing as they were prone to leakage on the...
I was wondering if anyone had cut down their ambulance doors for the purpose of having the two top sections attached to the hardtop. I've seen a guy around town with this setup and was thinking I might go this way.
Does anyone have any pics of the setup and how they got the doors to latch...
I'm planning on changing out my ambulance doors with a rear hatch system. From what I understand, the stock header on the hardtop has to be removed and replaced with one from a hatch hardtop.
What it involved in removing the header? Is this a simple couple bolts or will the fiberglass...
I was trying to tidy up the shop earlier today and found some spare parts laying around that I likely won't ever use. If you're interested in any of it or need some pics, email me at: shawngrundy@shaw.ca
Open to all offers! Would take rearview mirror (inside) or sunvisors as trades

Having some troubles with the locks on my doors.
On my driver's side door, it will only unlock with the key.
On the passenger side door, it will only lock with the key.
They will only spin 90deg towards the right on either side. I tried pulling them apart but it didn't really help...
Warn/Belleview 5687 Questions (Plastic Bushings..)
Picked this up from a buddy today, had a couple questions...
- are the mounting bolts the same as the 8274? (7/16 coarse)
- does it just take regular gear oil?
- plate says "model 6000". I assume that means it's a 6000lb capacity?
-...
I'm just about finished painting the doors for my '78 FJ40 but I had pulled the old weatherstrip off to patch all the holes at the bottom. So, I'm not entirely sure what surface, how far in I should glue it, etc etc.
Could someone snap a picture of it for me? It'd be much appreciated...
My wipers travel pretty much the whole range of travel possible. Only thing that seems to stop them on the downstroke is the wiper pump cover. I tried the adjustment screw and got it to where I thought it was fine, but after a while it just starts going wild again.
And, my one circuit...
In trying to track down my wildly jumping ammeter problem, I was looking through the wiring to see if I could find any obviously shorted sections.
I noticed the thick white wire coming off the + battery cable (fusible link) had what looked like browning on some sections.
But I'm curious...
Replacing alternator (edit: and belt...)
My alternator seems to be acting up, was just goign to get a replacement from NAPA. Guy said it was a 55A model, etc.
Just curious if anyone knows if this one will likely be compatible w/ my external voltage regulator or whether it will be internally...
Bought it off a guy who went back to stock, but I don't think I'll be doing an SOA anytime in the near future. So.......... it's pretty much the same as this picture:

But I can get actual pictures if you want.
Price? Not...
Going to be commuting back and forth to school (1 hr each way) so I need something a bit better on gas. Located in Peachland, BC (4 hours east of Vancouver)
Looking for a newer import pickup (85 and up)
