    Another float bowl level question - fluctuate at different RPMS?

    I don’t think you should see the float level fluctuating. If the bowl is over filling, the float is out of adjustment or the float needle isn't fully seating because of a piece of crud in the float needle/seat area. The fuel level should remain steady in the center of the sight glass at all RPM's.

    Side of the road question

    When that idle circuit is clogged, the carb floods through the primary jet causing erratic running and backfiring. When you pull the air cleaner and look down into the top of the carb, if you can see fuel coming through the primary while you're not giving any throttle, then your idle circuit is...

    Side of the road question

    I would start with cleaning those jets, most importantly the idle jet. Remove these 2 bolts and squirt some carb cleaner through the 2 main jets. Then, probably the thing that will make the biggest difference, the idle jet. You need to pull the the top case of the carb to get it out. Careful...

    What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

    Lost the only key to original Ignition Switch. Thanks to @ToyotaMatt for having the proper OEM replacement available at a very easy to swallow price, we are now back on the road.

    The world is lucky there's a ToyotaMatt

    Seriously, his passion for Landcruisers enabled him to make connections in the industry that very few people could pull off. Then he brings us these unicorn OEM bits mixed in with his own proprietary developments offered at thin profit margins almost as a public service just to keep the world of...

    The world is lucky there's a ToyotaMatt

    I just wanted to take a minute and state my appreciation for @ToyotaMatt. I've bought countless OEM unicorn items from his store that simply aren't available anywhere else. He graciously allows us to leverage his passion for Landcruisers, the connections he's formed, the knowledge he's...

    Ironman 4x4 Suspension for 40/45 Series

    I think they have different sized shocks. Good question for customer service, I've found the staff answering the phones over at Iron Man to be really good at getting answers.

    Steering Wheel Angle for FJ40

    Fwiw: I noticed the steering column angle on the '65 45LV seems lower than on the '71 40. I haven't measured the angles but the steering shaft is about an inch lower from the guage cluster on the LV.

    Ironman 4x4 Suspension for 40/45 Series

    I haven't had the chance to run them yet, but I've installed the Ironman springs and shocks on my '65 FJ45, the front FCP shock barely clears the drag link with a stock steering box by about 3mm. The rear shock has an offset lower mounting eyelet, helpful feature. The rear springs are pretty...

    Stuck Drum on 69 FJ40 front

    I recently had the same problem, had to pull the free-wheel hub, then the wheel bearings to get entire hub/drum assembly off the spindle and onto the bench. Once it was on the bench, a block of wood and a BFH finally separated the two. Taking out the Philips screw in the drum is necessary but...

    Fj40 leaf springs

    I also have an extra set of springs here in CO. They're take-offs from my '71, yours for the taking next time you're out this way.

    Skinny Tires for 1970

    Bias ply. I was hoping that since they're Mud and Snow rated, the rubber would stay softer at the lower temps.

    Detailed Dash Layout - 71 FJ40

    For that wood to have stayed that flat, it's very likely epoxied on. If it was mine, I would pull all the knobs and bezels and sand that back to raw metal for a repaint.
