    FJ40 - BJ40/BJ42 front bearing retainer visualization. H41 H55f gearboxes.

    I was converting Petrol FJ40 gearbox into Diesel BJ40/42version. On top of the input shaft there is a front bearing retainer problem. I think it is interesting to see the visual differences between FJ/BJ versions. To the “knowledge” library

    B/2B/3B Diesel crankshaft bolt torque: bearing cap (12mm,13mm,16mm) and connecting rod cap

    It is quite common to use the most recent repair manual. When you tight the bearing cap bolts (B/2B/3B Diesel) you should be very careful with the manuals. For this family diesel engine Toyota published several manuals. Widely available at least 3 versions: 1977, Aug 1980, 1994. Friend of mine...

    Land Cruiser 40 + 70. Toyota Auto Body project for the Tokyo Auto Salon 2023

    New Land Cruiser project was presented on the Tokyo Auto Salon 2023. Toyota Auto Body made a combo of a BJ40V body and a HZJ71 chassis. Someone can criticize the concept or a lifted look but I think it is nice to see the new J4 projects.

    DIY Driver Seat extension / more leg room 1979+

    Decided to upgrade my driver seat in order to have more space for my legs. There are several market solutions for the seats before 1979, but the later version (1979-1984) doesn’t have any widely available product. Obviously I had to do it in my civilized garage, using very simple tools, ideally...

    Mystery color. HZJ74 Japan market

    HZJ74 in Japan (2000-2004) had only 2 colors (white and silver). Does anyone know what color is on the picture from the Japanese Brochure? May be it is a silver (but looks like a light green)? Thanks

    74 from 76

    It’s a pity that Toyota stopped the mid wheelbase LC 70 production. It supposed to be the best from both world (offroad & comfort). Another option is to shorten the 76 to 74. Just wonder if someone put such idea into practice?

    OEM Hood silencer - different versions?

    As more we search as more we find surprises. I‘ve realized there are two types of silencers: difference in the form and the holes. Any ideas why it is so? This version came from original BJ43 (Nov 1979) this came from other car (no idea the market / engine / year) now we can see the...

    Restore vs renew

    Restoration requires attention to the details. Some people pretend to do a full restoration but due to the simple mistakes reduce the value of the work. I believe it might be helpful to save few pictures of the unrestored cars. Now we can see what is original and what is fake. Hardware (Part...

    Simple way to identify the model year of Land Cruiser 40

    Land Cruiser 40 was produced for about 25 years. On top there were different markets and options. There are many threads about each model year (body, engine, transmission, interior etc). Is there a simple and reliable algorithm that helps to understand the model year if the car is original? I...
