I think I have a plan, these are the projects I would do if I was going to keep this Troopy forever: New wheels and tires Floor mats HVAC Power steering Replace missing jump seats Vintage look radio But...

    Cool - I was not sure if the on board electronics on the new Toyota had any problem with taking a long nap.

    I have her all tucked in for the Summer. For the first time in my life I own a vehicle up on cinderblocks 😜 Fluids are all fresh, battery is disconnected, and the tires are just off the concrete. The windows are cracked slightly and the plastic is loose fitting as we get several dust storms...

    Thanks for the encouraging words, everything will work out and like you said I’ll have a chance to enjoy it some more. I know I said I was putting her down for the summer while I’m out of town but my wheels are already turning the “fer -sures” Are some new tires I’ll probably keep the splits for...

    Well the auction concluded yesterday afternoon, and while there was a lot of action and bidding - reserve not met..... Oh well, this outcome just give me a reason to keep and enjoy her for a while longer. No plans for any upgrade this summer, but next winter I will reassess. She needs to...

    Those previous owners would be turning over in their grave to see what these things have become - Tractor to treasure!

    Here is the best market intelligence I could find on US troopy sales over the last several years It only includes auctions so no idea what private party sales are like.

    My to do list is getting quite small now while I wait for the auction to go live..gave the shop a thorough cleaning, installed some jumpseat restraining straps, and I’m waiting for a radio delete plate So far I have taken her on three extended shakedown drives. 80-80-100 miles each. No major...

    '79 FJ40 gauges not working

    Thanks, when Iused the 3 W lightbulb the gauge moved gently across the range. I have since discovered the root cause of my problems. The oil pressure gauge had a bad connection at the barrel fitting, I cleaned it up and it’s working fine. Regarding the fuel gauge, it was a bad ground near the...

    I spent way too much time searching for a oil pressure and fuel gauge gremlin. The oil pressure gauge just had a weak connection with the barrel fitting on the instrument cluster and the fuel gauge turned out to be a bad ground at the sending unit…… i’ve been doing this for four decades and a...

    '79 FJ40 gauges not working

    Time to breathe life back into this thread, I’m on a similar path. 82 FJ 45, brand new OEM instrument cluster and a painless universal wiring harness on a fresh rebuild. I did not wire a three prong Ameter fitting Fuel oil and temperature gauges were working fine then stopped. Took everything...

    So I tore into the distributor and think I found the root cause, the mounting clamp was not fully seated at the top of the shaft. Therefore every time I loosen be at the shop could move a little bit. Then I took that busy apart and found the springs and internals caked with grime. Once I got...

    This morning I went out for her longest shakedown drive yet about 10 miles in a combination of side streets and 55 mile an hour highway. She pulls good runs good and the breaking is perfect! Nice and responsive and does not Paul either direction. I do get an occasional pop out of the muffler...

    Continuing to make progress on the punchlist. Got an interior dome light, buttoned up some wiring in the engine bay, and today put the finishing touches on the rear door latch assembly. Bought a factory replacement passenger side handle just waiting for the lock cylinder to appear. The driver...
