    New 100 owner, long time cruiserhead

    Congrats on the 100. I too have owned FJ40's since 1979 and still have my '77 total frame off restoration I drive regularly but absolutely love my '07 100. Looks like you are doing a fine job on base lining your 100.

    All you long-distance FJ40 drivers

    I drove from Paris, TX to Sabine Pass. LA/TX Every two weeks (about10 hours each way) to fly a helicopter offshore for well over a year and a half. Bone stock '78 winter and summer with deep south humidity. Never had any problems and the comfort level was okay for me. Still have my '77...

    ARB 2000 or 2500 for '07 L.C.

    If I get the awning room as I plan to do, then I need the 2500? I like the clean look of the 2000 but want a good fitting room for the grandkids to sleep in. Thanks for all the replies and photos guys, Y 'all are awesome!

    Ready to purchase an ARB awning. What do do you folks recommend? Also planning to buy a roof rack, looking at the Dissent. Would like some real world advice for fit and suitability for short weekend adventures. Anything longer and I will use the motorhome to keep my wife happy with a/c...

    ARB Front Bumper

    Ready to order the ARB Front Bumper...wanted to get the Deluxe 03 I have seen others on this 100 Forum using but couldn't find it on the ARB web site. The one listed for $1,523.00 is the Deluxe Full Width PN: 3413190. Is this the same as the Deluxe 03 other folks reference in their posts...

    Going from Old Man Emu nitro shocks, back to OEM shocks. What to expect?

    Ready to order the ARB 2" lift kit. I just installed new OEM front shocks when I rebuilt the front with new shocks, rotors, brakes, OEM UCA's and LCA's, hubs, anti sway bushings and all the other bits and pieces for the job. If I go the 2" lift will the new shocks I just installed work? The...

    Lower control arm replace the bushings and service or replace the whole arm?

    I recently replaced both upper and lower arms, shocks, hubs and bearings, and all the bits and pieces required on my '07 with 160,000 on the clock. Bought all new OEM parts. Took two days but it went smooth after machining a bushing removal tool out of heavy wall tubing. I will replace the...

    Anyone else have a 1977 FJ40 CA edition?

    I have a 12-76 California originally purchased in CA in the spring of '77 and I rebuilt it per the drawings above. Not sure a photo will add anything to the above illustrations. Good luck!

    Used Parts for 2007 LC

    When I was rebuilding my FJ40 I found some parts at the "Worlds Largest Land Cruiser Salvage Yard" or so said the person I talked to and ordered from. They have something like 750 Wrecks in their inventory somewhere in the northern states and IIRC they were in the mid-west. I have moved since...

    GRMS Options

    Just ordered all the bits and pieces from Ram Ball mounts to get the radios mounted in the 100. I will post up photos once that is finished. I followed Jim, @jj-sc. on the Gamviti antenna mount for the 100 series that mounts the antenna on the fender. Very clean mount and a straight shot to...

    GRMS Options

    Midland farm tractor bundle x2, one on the 40 and one for the 100. You can see the mount on the 40. I can switch antennas and use the mounts for a 50 watt 2 meter as well. The tractor bundle had the tube mount included for mounting on the back rack

    I ordered them from Partsouq. All together, upper and lower plus freight was $1,371. All new Toyota parts. Had an additional $35.00 in customs charges from FedEx. Could have just replaced the ball joints but do not plan to sell this '07 rust free truck. Has about 153,000 miles. Also have some...

    Prep for front end

    Don’t plan to do any hard core trails. Just 1-3 rated. Camping, fishing , exploring and treasure hunting with our 5 year old son. Having spent so much time in aviation I do a lot of preventative maintenance. Rear end is next for bushings, shocks and other bits and pieces
