    What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

    Been back on the road about a year and half now and finally found some time to install a radio so I get to cruise again with tunes, still have to pinch myself now and then I get to ride in this thing again. Back then Green Day’s Dookie got tons of play time in the tape deck, Whitey Morgan is the...

    fj45 2f all of a sudden not running after choke is off

    That’s great info @1911 thank you. The issue came back this morning and was cured by pushing on the wiring plug going into the unit. Kids were pretty bummed and thought we had to take the Prius to school lol. Unfortunately it is getting worse and needs addressed. I’ve opened it up before but...

    fj45 2f all of a sudden not running after choke is off

    1. Disconnect fuel solenoid connection. Run hot wire to positive side (wh/blk) and ground wire to black side of pins. Listen for click. Should click every time you give it 12v. 2. Tap on your computer if you have one. Take it off, blow it out. It’s on firewall behind fuse block. This just...

    Only get spark when turning key off or to on position

    Can you return to stock ignition setup and try that? I’m not familiar with that conversion. Napa had a coil (40$) for my late model when I was dealing with spark issues but yours is a decade+ older. Anything miswired to the coil can throw it off. Check the wiring diagram. The head scratcher in...

    ‘75 Fj 40 Turn signals stopped working

    It is likely your switch assembly in the column went bad. You can take it apart and refurbish then re-try, or even just aggressively actuate the turn signal arm a bunch of times to see if it will make the connection. They sell on ebay or for more at cruiser places. google turn signal combination...

    Turn Signals Not Working - Hazards OK

    glad you got them working. I would bet it is the turn signal assembly in the column. They go bad, cost about $120 to replace IIRC. I had same problem and checked re-checked everything and eventually called electrical mechanic and he aggressively switched my blinker arm up and down a few times...

    fuel pum issues

    it does not need primed on a stock 2F gas engine, as @Malleus stated, tank pressure provides enough head to cause a continuous slow trickle to the filter/pump. If you loosen the fuel line at the filter it should flow out slowly (on stock 2f fj40). Can you confirm fuel is reaching the lines up by...

    fuel pum issues

    could be faulty part. Mechanical fuel pump should be pulling something. If you take it off and actuate it manually do you feel any suction? It will be slight, but you should here or feel air pumping through by pumping the arm by hand

    Brake Booster replacement

    How is the vacuum system? If there is any big leaks the booster may not engage well. Also, The master cylinder could be on its way out, mine caused hard pedal. Have you bleed the lines recently?

    Name that part! (some 79 frame-off leftovers)

    Here are some anonymous brackets to start. Disregard the bolts, bulbs, and gaskets etc, just need help with the other stuff in the foreground. This is for a CA, Feb 79, 40 series.

    Ambulance door prop open solutions?

    Door was bugging me again today, raining like hell and kept closing on me every time I turned around, thanks guys. I will look into strut and in the meantime find a better wedge. I think that would be pretty slick if I can get the little gas spring to mount cleanly

    FYI - Kenda Klever R/T KR601.....NEW size on the way..... 33x9.50R15LT

    not sure about “underlying death wobble” guess i will search that. My knuckles have been redone recently and this does not effect steering. i have 3 wheels with 3 weights and 1 (DS, RR) with only 1 weight, maybe they flew off? none on outside

    Ambulance door prop open solutions?

    Recently I have been working/playing out of the back of my 40 and the darn doors do not stay open (wind, gravity) especially the driver side with the spare tire; and they bang together arghh. I am interested in anyone's solutions, either low tech or high tech that have worked for propping the...

    Are these FJ steelies?

    Hi @RustyAndDusty. There is a nice long steel wheel tech thread outlining many options for you. Best thing is to decide if you want 15, 16, or 17". Toyota dealers still carry 40 series (15s, $130ish) so 60 series might be available too, at a fair price. If you cant find any used OEM for the 60...

    Stalls when coming to a stop

    Year? Does it happen stopping, or on a down hill? You can pinch off booster and see if that makes a difference (in a parking lot or something, stopping power should be much reduced- like when you coast down hill with engine off in your driveway) My idle solenoid (aka fuel cut solenoid FCS)...

    Ambulance Door Window

    harbor freight sells a glass install tool that is basically a grip with string to pass through it. Dry silicone spray is handy to lube stuff up to slide into place. You need another set of hands to press on window while you do string thing.

    Crankshaft hand crank tool

    You can rock the cruiser also to rotate flywheel. If that’s what your doing… Definitely a preferred simple method. Leave it in 4th, I grip tire to rock. Must be flat

    The Tent - 79’ FJ40 Frame-Off Resto

    Fixed gas gauge! Yellow/red wire was severed under the loom b/w the tank and the next plug connector. 2 hours labor payed to auto-electric guys and they didn’t trace ohms from tank to gauge (wow, just assumed they did). Found the cover plate to ambulance door! holy cow this was astonishing...
