Hi all. Great forum this is. Does anyone know if the stripes on our HJ 45 are original. We are hoping to keep this build as original as possible. Cheers.

Hi guys. Wife and I are starting a build on a 1978 HJ45. Thanks for having us.

Hello all, After my last post regarding drive flanges, a few people had asked for a detailed post about my rig. So here goes it. In August of 2022, I had the opportunity to buy my 1993 Land Cruiser at what seemed to be a bargain price of $6,000. I moved to Grass Valley where it snows and my...

New to the forum. New to the Brits, so ignorant on them. I'm helping my son with a 1993 110 build. He is thinking going with the BMW n54 & the 8HP45 trans. Me personally, no fan of BMW due to $$$. Reading on here with some of the n45 engines, sounds like issues. I'd rather do a 6.0 LS engine due...

A few years back, we decided that we needed a bit more room, so traded out the wife's 08 Xterra (2" lift, 6 m/t, longtubes, and lots of custom metal work) for a 2011 GX460. Took a while, but we found one with all the options we really wanted, plus the wife liked the wheels.

Ok ... I own 2 Land Cruisers, been a member here for over 5 years, and barely have enough time to maintain my Cruisers let alone do a build thread. Figured now is as good a time as any to change that. Plus, I don't have any experience at all with these trucks, and I'll be needing some advice. I...

Using a 69 Fj40 tub in my build. Recently making repairs I had a bolt(press in stud) fall out of the tubs channel that's behind the seats, where the floor steps up. Never seen it before, any thoughts on where/what it goes too?

Last year, Toyota unleashed the latest Tundra - a legend in its own right, had undergone a remarkable transformation. Embracing eco-friendly tech, the Tundra carved a path towards sustainability thanks to its twin-turbo hybrid engine; setting a new standard for responsible off-road driving...

I've always wondered about building out a 40. I've done a few 60 series. 1988 FJ62 was my first cruiser and I was done. Convinced it was all I would ever drive and I've always loved the sound of a V8 so I couldn't leave well enough alone. Lived in Australia for 3.5 years so I got to see all the...

Last Friday I took the day off to travel up North and meet my wife for a NYE party. She had gone up the night prior with our daughter, which left me and the doggo with idle hands and no supervision. I took the opportunity to jingle the chain of nearly everyone selling a 60 or 80 series or some...

Up to this point I have been cluttering up other folks' threads with my questions, so I thought I'd consolidate all my stuff here. So - I am doing some major changes to my 1987 FJ60. Actually the plate on the B pillar says Oct 1986, but the vehicle title says it's a 1987. I am in the process...

A few months ago I bought a 1994 KZJ70 with the 3.0L engine. It had been 'restored' 6 years or so ago but after purchase there were a few (quite a lot) things that needed addressing. I'm full time self employed as an Artist Blacksmith so have a good collection of metalworking tools and...

Hi everyone. Its Mian, I am a new member so don't know much where to post this answer. This is with reference to years old query(March 23 2016) of member "My71FJ40" regarding converting a standard Toyota FJ 45 to one with dual rear wheels(DRW). Just saw it in the forum now, maybe it's an...

I am at a the junction of deciding whether to keep my 470 forever or upgrading to a 200/570. Back story: Bought my LX from a MUD member at 220k and The 470 just hit 260k as my daily commuter with very few issues. Like most of you I love the truck but it is worn, yet almost completely rust...

First, I apologize for starting a new thread on this build, but it's been a couple years since I last posted. I just completed everything but paint and finish upholstery and thought I would start a new clean thread of the complete build to this point. Sadly, I will be selling this build and...
