I did not think I would ever sell my Land Cruiser, but plans change, so I am unfortunately putting it up for sale. I am moving to Squamish July. 1st and will not have any secure parking for it; I'll only have street parking. I'll then be heading on a road trip to Alaska during that last two...
I took the 42 on a little adventure this past weekend. There is a branch FSR from the Squamish Valley FSR that I saw on google maps; I've been wanting to check it out for some time. I've been looking for a new route to Mt. Cayley and was hoping this FSR would take me to a better starting point...
Hey guys, I've got an issue with my vacuum pump.
I'm getting a loud squealing/whiny noise coming from it. The alternator was just rebuilt so didn't think it would be that. On Tuesday I went down to the shop and got a used vacuum pump swapped in. At first the noise was gone but after about 10...
... A section of the Squamish Valley FSR!
A friend and I from work headed up the Squamish Valley FSR yesterday. I've been wanting to check out a branch road that leads up to a clear cut. This clear cut would then be a great starting point to reach Mt. Cayley.
As we reached the starting point...
Hey guys, need a little help.
Started my truck up today after work and it just baaarely started. It has been raining all day and the temperature has been around 6-7 degrees C. It sounded like the batteries were dead. One battery is from 2007 and the other from 2008 - same kind though. The...
Hi everyone. Having an issue with my brake lights on my 1982 BJ42 (24v). Occasionally the brake lights are not lighting up when I hit the brake pedal. If I tap the pedal a few times the lights will then come on. All the other lights on the truck work; including the taillights. I took the...
Hey everyone, thought I'd share some photos of a 42 I saw in Kamloops. I haven't posted in this clubhouse section before. I'm Tanner and I am from Vancouver, BC. My BJ42 is the red one.
I headed up to Slave Lake, AB for Thanksgiving. I stopped in Kamloops for the night to join up with my...
Hey everyone, thought I'd share some photos of a 42 I saw in Kamloops.
I headed up to Slave Lake, AB for Thanksgiving. I stopped in Kamloops for the night to join up with my brother and sister. We all then headed to Alberta the next morning.
As I was driving through Kamloops I saw this BJ42. I...
Hey guys,
Wondering if any of you guys know where I could get my stock steel rims sandblasted? I'm wanting to restore them and put them on the 42. I spent most of the weekend hand sanding the spare tire and repainting it. It turned out okay. Properly sandblasting the other four would be the way...
Hey guys,
The cigarette outlet on my '82 BJ42 is not working; has never worked since I owned it.
I checked the fuse a while ago and just now, looks good. So took a closer look at it today. Looks like the soldered wire that attaches to the back has broken off. Is this wire indeed suppose to be...
Hey guys,
I was going to post this is the diesel section but I thought posting it locally would be more beneficial. I went to Toyota today to grab a few parts for my BJ42; an oil filter being one of those parts. Looks like the oil filter for the 3B diesel has changed (most of you probably know...
Hey guys! I posted this thread in the main 40 series section but thought I'd post it over here too.

Hey there MUD members,
Looking to purchase a 40 series Land Cruiser. It can be a petrol or diesel. Looking for one with a stock engine; either a 2F or 3B would be great! Hoping to find a '78+ model as well. Little to no rust too.
I'm located in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Hoping to find something...
Hi there guys!
Should introduce myself first :) My name is Tanner and I live in Vancouver, BC. My current DD is a 1985 Toyota 4Runner SR5. I originally posted a wanted ad on craigslist to find a 40 series. A member on here messaged me and told me about this forum.
Anyhow,
I'm looking...
