frame repair

Hey everyone! Excited share my latest project—a 1982 Land Cruiser HJ60 with 231k km on the clock. From the outside it looked pretty nice and clean. As you might expect, this is what you get in Austria when looking for an old Land Cruiser… and it wasn’t even cheap. I have been owning LC's for...

Hello, I am hoping someone in the Colorado, Denver/ Front Range area, may know of anyone taking on fabrication work? I have taken my FJ62 to CTS up in Conifer in the past, they are great, but they aren't doing fabrication work. I seem to be hitting this roadblock everywhere I try. I have...

Hey Team - have a kink in my frame behind the tire carrier but really want to get a rear bumper and get that spare out of the cargo area. Any recommendations in AZ that would be able to work with this before I email dissent, bior, and 4x4 labs and drive 12 hours at some point this summer?

Yep, you read that right! (And yes I am crazy) After working through the body restoration of my LandCruiser BJ70 I learned a lot about shaping metal. —> that thread here (Saving the Silver 70) One of the tools that I really couldn’t have done it without was a little 14” die that I made for...

Holy schnikies! There are enough “build threads” on this section that the subject should probably have its own subforum. This factor alone has been a main reason that I’ve hesitated to start my own thread, ever since the ol 40 was parked and this project began some 3+ years ago. Among the other...

So I was rear ended at a stop light by a Subaru doing about 70mph who never touched the brakes. Very long story short now I suspect my Panhard Bar and frame are tweaked ( along with a lot of body damage) Unfortunately I have nothing to compare to, so before I go crawling under someone cruiser in...

Hi there, I have an 85 fj60 which I have yet to start an overhaul on, it's in pretty rough shape underneath. Has anyone made, considered making or have engineered drawing/plans for a tubular chassis? I have been contemplating fabricating one for my rig for a while now as oppose to patching or...

Hi Guys, Long time lurker and y'alls forum has been amazing. Through it, I've been able to fix/repair a number of items on my '74 fj40. (I am defineitley a noob to auto repair, but gradually learning.) An earnest thank you to you all. The reason for my first post is for your expierenced...

Hello ALL I just purchased my second Land Cruiser, first one was 35 years ago in Kodiak Alaska, today I own one in Clark Philippines. I am in desperate help for resources. My B engine has a small hairline crack and seeping water. Does the 2B engine fit where I have a B? Are there any good...
