    Discount Tire - why is it so difficult?

    Discount does 95% of the tire business that I need. For the other 5%, I use my local Big O tire store or Roberts tire. Purchased military tires through JEG's of all places. Everyone else wanted $100 for shipping. JEG's was free shipping to my door. Who doesn't like saving a C note from...

    Why do I have to ALWAYS go into grill Nazi mode? The descriptions say full frame off resto, no expense spared. Then I see this. Do I HAVE to start bringing my Japanese philips screwdrivers to these events??

    Pinging at 113 degrees……..

    As far as the oil pressure goes, my '76 was running low pressure on the gauge similar to yours. My oil sending unit was original. Toyota still makes these units (if your sender is like my '76) I replaced the sender with a Toyota factory unit, and the pressure went way back up. See photo. My...

    Favorite Aftermarket 3 Gauge Kit for an FJ40 - Oil Pressure Voltage and Temperature

    FWIW, My '76 FJ40 was showing low oil pressure over the last few years. The original sending unit was getting weak. The part is still used on newer Toyota vehicles. I replaced mine with a new Toyota sender and bingo, pressure back up from being just above the L. Pic is with the new sending unit...

    What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

    Replaced the rubber brake lines on the FJ40. Purchased the lines from a vendor in Texas. Hoses only came in 17" and 22" lengths. Had to have 3 of them shortened at a local hydraulic shop to 8" for the FJ40. The shop had the metric fittings I needed.

    What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

    Easy one today. Battery died in the driveway. 4 1/2 years on a 5 year warranty. Got lucky. New one free of charge. These are AGM batteries. No sulfuric vapors to eat the paint on the underside of the hood.

The Sealed Power pistons came matched at 571grams. Balanced the rods myself within 2 grams. These long rods have NO balance pads, top...

    '76 FJ40 2F oil pressure after new sending unit installed.

    I was worried about the oil pressure on the 83,000 mile 2F engine. When warmed up, the pressure on the factory gage was only about 3/16" above the "L" on the gage at idle. the sending unit was original from 1976. I purchased a new Toyota sending unit, (yes these are still manufactured and used...

    ‘78 Carb cooling fan relay

    In my '79 Mitsubishi truck that I owned, I had an issue with a glass fuse. It LOOKED fine so I was looking farther up the electrical chain for the issue. The fuse had opened at the end where you could not see the break. Drove me nuts for a while. Bottom line is ALWAYS use VOM to check the...

    Toyota technician explanation wanted: '75 &'76 distributors with vacuum retard

    I have a 1976 FJ40 that has a build date of 9/75. These two years had vacuum retard canisters on the distributor ( instead of vacuum advance) from the factory. The ignition at this point in time was moving to total electronic. They had a "box" but the distributor still had points. I have the...
