    keep blowing fuses....

    This is just weird. Seriously, other guys with 1980 40 series rigs with the same headlight/tailight fuse blowing weirdness at the same time in different parts of the world... Three days ago I just started blowing my tail light fuse approximately 30 minutes after I turned on my headlights...

    Rear Tire Carrier

    That looks great, I really like the design. It is very similar to what I'm having fabbed up here for my rig but with two exceptions; (1) I planned to have two spares, that is one on each side and (2) I planned to have the carrier mounted from the bumper rather than into the body. Again I...

    cargo storage solutions for a 40

    I was thinking of four compartments. For the two closest to the passenger seats I had the same idea (I think) basically have one or two compartments were the doors open towards the roof of the vehicle, maybe with recessed latches. The remaining two compartments would be drawers that would slide...

    cargo storage solutions for a 40

    Alan, Thanks for posting up. It looks like you finished the plywood with something, what did you use? I found this on the web, it sounds like another riff on the same theme: Custom Tie Down Mounts - Trucks 4x4 @ Off-Road.com

    cargo storage solutions for a 40

    Guys I have been searching the forums and reading up on this topic in the Expedition build section. There are many pics, diagrams and writeups of drawer/storage solutions for 60, 80 and 100 series vehicles. However thus far I haven't been able to come up with similar threads for the 40...

    Anybody use this dual battery setup?

    Guys, I was trying to do a comparison between the 12 volt guy package and the Hell Roaring setup and frankly got a little confused. Have any of you guys done a comparison between the two, pros and cons. That would be a big help. Thanks :cheers:

    Dash illumination - LEDs

    I gotta say I wish that I had that problem...I haven't ever had a functioning dimmer. As dim as my upgraded incandescent bulbs still are I need to give up the bulb ghost and step up to LEDs. Thanks for the link.

    Dash illumination - LEDs

    Great links. From the superbright link it looks as though either the T1.5x or the NEO-x with the twist lock bases would drop right into the gauge cluster in place of the OEM bulbs. How do you guys mount the 3022 festoons?

    Anybody use this dual battery setup?

    This looks soo clean . Is this a custom setup that you install or is this a beefed up version of one of the setups that is currently being sold for 40s? Thanks

    Were diesels made in the US - can they be found?

    Ok As cruiserguy says none imported for the US market. That being said guys who are doing swaps go with H engines and B engines as they tend to go in easily and relativiely bolt in in terms with tranny capatibility etc. It all depends on what you want, 6cyl v. 4cyl, parts availability. Hop...

    40 mpg in a 45?

    Toyota has an engine in current production that has similar numbers to these, the 15B-FTE, 4 cyl, 16v, turbo charged, intercooled diesel and for the lucky bastards who can get their hands on one, it drops right into a 40. When you can get one, it comes in 3 versions, straight 15B, turboed...

    ..And so it begins.... my BJ40 frame off restoration

    Josh, Do you have a picture of your rig after it was painted. The olive green/brown was one of my original choices until I saw how widely the color varied using the same paint code. Toyota Reference - Information and Specs for all USA Toyota, Lexus and Scion Cars...

    ..And so it begins.... my BJ40 frame off restoration

    Charles, Thanks, that is a relly generous offer. I hope that I don't have to take you up on it. I am waiting now on Gudmira, the manager of the freight agency, to see what she was able to do with the technical , chemical composition and hazmat data sheets that I forwarded to her from Laurie at...

    Any pictures of Copper / Orange Cruiser

    I remember looking at similar colors, orange metallic and Copper Metallic a while back. I was thinking about soemthing more along the lines of your honda color but the similar colors kept varying wildly on the toyota chart so I ditched it, same problem with the Pueblo Brown, way too many...

    ..And so it begins.... my BJ40 frame off restoration

    Josh, Mine is BJ40-047640. I'm not sure of the production run numbers, i.e., how many came off the line in a given year but could it be that these vehicles were in fact 3330 units apart? Did they make that many of these a year? Now you have me curious. John
