OK, it all started with two bulbs needing replaced now I got the bug and started following this it's like crack. My question is; Does the E-locker switch, aka magic button, have a bulb in it? And, does the power mirror switch have a bulb in it?

Where is the best place to purchase parts and accessories online for my HDJ81 in the United States? Thanks!

Hey everybody, I was cruising at about 40 mph the other day in my HDJ81 and I lost all power. The truck would not go over about 15 or 20 mph. Funny thing, although I had no power, it seemed like it was revving much higher than it should. It sounded like around 1500 to 2000 rpm's, though it...

I'm new to the Toyota world (and the diesel world), but have been a long time shade-tree mechanic so I like to think I'm pretty competent. I took on a project for my cousins to get their '77 BJ40 kicking again in two stages... first, diagnose and repair the existing B motor and second, install a...

OK, here goes the build thread of my 1969 FJ40 restomod! Like most people, I’ve been lurking on Mud for a while, but I’ve decided it’s about time I start contributing. By no means am I an expert in anything, just a self-taught average Joe with a welder and an angle grinder. I honestly didn’t...

Has anyone done a 1VD-FTV swap on their rig? Just curious of how complex and expensive it would be. I know the 4.5L V8 D is not cheap either from looking at ebay with prices north of $10K per rebuilt engine. I am thinking the complexities will be around the following areas if I am not mistaken...

Hello, I'm trying to find out if an fj62 (1989) has the same frame as any of the diesel 60 series. Also I'd like to know if anyone here has attempted to put a 62 body on a diesel frame and any advice you can give me in my plan to build a diesel 62 series. I don't think I have the skills to do an...

Hi just wanted to share the success we had in starting a 3B after it had sat for 8 years. I don't really make many posts here but just like sharing little video's I make. Cheers This car had sat under a tree for 8 years on a farm till we got it, rolled it onto a car trailer and towed it home...

Greetings Everyone! This is my first time doing a build thread of any sort, so any pointers would be great. (I will also be happy to include additional details if I neglect any.) Anyways, we have had the intention of converting my 1975 Landcruiser from gasoline to diesel. We were waiting for a...

It has been imported and is currently in Penticton BC. We have owned this vehicle while living in Japan and was sourced for us by Toyota dealership’s owner- who was a good friend. He went out of his way to search for the best car he could find for us, with specifications regarding the condition...

Hi there! I'm a 20 year old university student in Victoria with a passion for these cars. I'm trying to find a diesel 60, not in perfect in condition, but one that I'm not gonna have to worry about pouring money into to make it run, or make sure it's road safe, or prevent it from rotting...

I just purchased a '91 HDJ81 and it has roughly 275K Km on it. The injection pump seems to have a leak around where the distributive head meets the IP body (o-ring likely). I have the FSM - and I found a shop to rebuild it local to me (and reasonably priced). My question is: do you need...

I have a 1991 HDJ81 and I'm having cruiser control issues. When I click the cruiser button to engage, the light will turn on. I'll set the cruise at a certain speed and some times it will work, some times it will not. When it does work and the cruise control sets it will only stay set for a...

I have a 1991 HDJ81. When I rev the vehicle between 3000 and 3500 rpm's for maybe 5 seconds or so the vehicle stalls. Does anyone know why this is happening? This was after I had driven the vehicle for over an hour. Does anyone know why this might be happening? Thanks!
