I am hoping someone on here can lead me in the right direction.
I have a 78 FJ45 from Canada with a 2F engine. Production date is March 1978. It is smoking like crazy and is fouling the plug in cylinder 5. It doesn't have any smog equipment and the PCV valve is moving freely.
If I clean the...
Sadly, we had to put down Molly last night. She was going into congestive heart failure. We loved this little dog. We adopted her a couple of years ago after she had been rescued from a leg hold trap. She had been on heart meds the whole time we had her, so we knew this day would come sooner...
Any interest in this? I'm not sure what it is worth. Maybe $100.00? It's a nice one from a rust free 1973 FJ40 soft top that I sold a couple of years ago.
I'm not sure what this is worth. It came off of a rust free 73 FJ40 soft top. It doesn't even really have any surface rust. $100.00 OBO. It's really nice for what it is.
One of the bolts that holds the wheel on needs to be tack welded.
I have 4 late model FJ40/FJ45 doors that I would like to get out of my way. I don't see any rust through on any of them, but nobody will know until they've been sand blasted. I will say that the white doors were original on my truck, from Canada, and it had some pretty significant rust. The...
I got home from work last night and this dude was hanging out on the side of my house. I thought it was pretty impressive how it could crawl around anywhere it wanted to all over the rock wall.
I'm guessing it is a Texas Rat Snake. Any other ideas what it is?
I'm about to start pulling my hair out here and I need some help!
The engine starts perfect and runs perfect until it warms up (temp guage just past first bar). After that, it will continue to idle perfect as long as you let it, but if you rev it up to about 2K to 2.5K RPM the fuel level in...
Does anyone know if you can still get the rubber or plastic plug for the extra holes in the dash of a 78 FJ40/45? If so, do you know the part number? My local Toyota dealer hasn't been able to figure it out.
The hole is "D" shaped.
Thanks
I've noticed that some of the LPB headache racks have the "ears" at the top on both sides and some don't. Does anyone know why? Was it a change that was made at some point in production?
I've read through the various knuckle rebuild threads and I don't remember seeing anything about gasket sealer being used on the rebuild kit gaskets. My FSM doesn't specify the need for any sealer. I was wondering if anyone recommends using a sealer, and if so, what? Anearobic sealer maybe...
I'm thinking about buying this front axle to put on my 78 FJ45 to convert it to front disc brakes. Supposedly it is from a 77 FJ40.
I've never seen front hubs like these on a Cruiser before. Does anyone know if I will be able to swap the locking hubs from my original axle and make this thing...
Here is one of my mutts. Not sure what he is, but we call him Rufus. Nothing happens anywhere around here that this dude doesn't know about. I've had lots of dogs, (5 right now) but never had one as challenging as Rufus.
Could have been fun having this guy when I was younger and single...
I'll post up a bunch of pics and can post up a bunch more if anyone wants to see them. Email me at mvanicek@ktc.com and rhinoliner@ktc.com if you have any questions. If you want to talk about it, email me your phone number.
This rig is really solid. It has very, very minimal rust. One...
My tailgate chain hooks are not the same. One of them is about 3/4" longer than the other and has a sharper bend in it. Does anyone know if they were different for different year models or something?
Here is a pic of my set. Anyone else have pics of their hooks?
Hey, any of you guys planning to make it to the Lone Star Roundup at Katemcy Rocks next month? None of my junk is worthy of participation in the event, but I plan to be there on Saturday as a spectator at least. Hope to meet some of ya'll if you plan to be there.

Hey guys,
I searched the site but didn't find the answers to my questions.
I'm looking for some advice or a recommendation on what I should use for spring shackles as I start to put this rig back together.
The OME light/standard duty spring kit that I bought came with greasable shackles and...
