I picked up this 1991 HDJ81 about two weeks ago, and I've been hard at it, starting my build. Ordered 3 in OME heavy lift with Manfre 30mm spacers for the front. All new adjustable track bars front and rear, front and rear sway bar drop brackets. I went with Black Rock Yuma 16x8 wheels with...

Figured I would introduce my rig. I just purchased a 1992 FJ80 with 77,XXX miles on it. It has been a Hawaii vehicle all of its life. From what I can tell there has been little more that oil changes done. The PO did rotor cap/ plugs/wires in Dec. I am a jeep guy but wanted a little something...

I guess it's time to start a build. I've been absorbing information from this forum for two years now and am extremely greatful for the wealth of knowledge here! I knew nothing of Fj40's prior to getting mine. I've been a huge fan of Toyota for many years now. I've owned a 2011 Tacoma, 2012...

So I've gone back and forth about building the 200 and finally bit the bullet and went for it. Originally I just wanted a 200 series as a family cruiser for trips and what not and to have the troopy for more moderate camping and wheeling trips but after much thought I decided to start a...

I'm pretty far into this build to be starting a build thread but I have admired so many others stories that I feel obligated to make one too. I bought this project a right before getting married in 2014, bad timing to start a project. The wife's jokes to "train me" were the origin of the...

Wanted to introduce myself, name is Brent, in 2007 I bought my first LC. A 2001 that was a member of the family till about a month ago. After 10 years it was time for an upgrade and we found a 2013 in Florida that was just what we were looking for. I had been telling the wife that I wanted a...

So, my son won a Yeti build kit at the King of the hammers in Feb. We're working on building it right now and I've picked up a ton of parts including a 4 channel remote and a 2 speed gearbox. My question is what brushed motor to run? With the 2 speed transmission, it looks like I can go...

Well I picked my Troopy up in Bend Oregon and drove her back to Colorado. Naturally I started a list in my head of things to fix/improve on the way home. Eventually I have bigger plans but for the short term I only want to fix the little things and upkeep. Here is the list of what I'm thinking...

After four months of getting to know my rig, it's time to build it up. Here are some pictures of my GX in Excited new owner of 2005 GX470. I decided to build it up fast and start having fun with it instead of dragging it over two or more years. Carpe Diem! So she is going to the shop to have...

@TonyP has commissioned me to build some custom bumpers and sliders for him and graciously allowed me to use the rig for a few other R&D items. Parts have been rolling in over the past two weeks and will continue to do so over the next few weeks. Going to happen: Front and rear bumpers...

Rather than bother you fine people with a new thread every time I have a new question, I figured I'd start a thread to track my progress and pose what I'm sure will be numerous inquiries. These are my first two FJ40s, and I'm really looking forward to getting to work on them. Unfortunately, my...
