Firstly my name is Jordan. I live in Hickory and today while at the gas station I saw a RHD FJ80 leaving the same gas station and start driving down HWY 321 in Hickory just before the bridge over Lake Hickory towards Lenoir. I caught up to him and he told me to come check this place out! I...

Hello Do I go with stock color on my resto mod or no? I have 1/73 fj40 that I have been restoring. I have added lift, disk brakes, mini truck power steering, rebuilt original motor with stock 3 speed. I'm having a mental battle with myself on choosing a color. I really need some opinions here...

Realize there are many posts on this topic. Read many of them and have followed the advice given, but a little stumped. Problem started a few weeks back. I could lower the front driver-side window, but was suddenly unable to raise it. Prior to that, all windows and locks operated properly...

These Injectors have SOLD! I have a set of 6 injectors (USED) for the 1HDT engine from our 1991 HDJ81 (Japan market, RHD) Land Cruiser that I am selling for $350, plus shipping costs. The injectors have NOT been tested, cleaned, or reconditioned. They are being sold 'as-is' in USED condition...

Hi All, My 86 LJ70 is popping out of 1st gear, which I assume means tearing into it. The syncros for going from 1st to second and second to third can be a bit grindy when cold as well. The truck has over 160k miles on it. Is this something I can do myself or have done in most garages or should...

Built a carport for the Land Cruiser this weekend. Very important if you live in Oregon.

Noticed after my last fill up a puff of black smoke on start up or when I rev the motor. Could this be the diesel or turbo lag. I've been watching the exhaust since purchase to see if there were any signs of issues. Idles fine, no issues with start up plenty of power through entire band. I did...

I totally porked myself today. I'm prepping the rig for a family vacation (a few thousand miles) and thought I'd hit the transmission fluid complete exchange... I just did the differentials and the transfer case.... I own the FSM. I could not find the transmission drain plug torque spec...

I'm in the Plano, DFW area. Looking for suggestions to have some brake work done. Last done by Yung in Garland. Man, I miss him!

I'm looking at lx470s in the 150k mile range and looking to find some used lower mileage globes to keep as spares or use in a system overhaul. The question is, without being in a system, will the material in the globes dry out and become less viable? Should i be hunting globes that JUST came...

I live in Ma. and they frown on wheel spacers, tires sticking out and most everything. Any good "tips" to get around the process, besides having a buddy that owns the garage? Im on a 5 in king lift and 1 body wth 345/75/16s and spacers(which Ill remove for insection) But Id like to know how you...

everything youve ever been taught has been to look for impeccable maintenance records. And while its a clear metric towards how likely the owner took car of it its not set in stone. Example, ive done all my work on all my cars so there are almost no maintenance records on any vehicle ive ever...

i would like to know how much frame there should be in front of the front crossmember. I would like to cut off the bumper that is currently on my fj and replace it with a stock bumper. I don't know how much frame has been cut off previously with other bumper installs. Can someone tell me how the...

Check out this road...

My 69 FJ40 (w/'74 engine) is becoming more difficult to keep running (runs rough - even after tuning), slowly boggs down at idle, puffs blue smoke and dies). I guess it is time to have the engine rebuilt or replaced. I live in Jacksonville Florida. Anyone have any experience with a shop near...

Over the years I have learned to do basic wiring, relays, etc. I recently spent 4 days redoing my aftermarket wiring only to get smoke when turning it all on. Before I tear it all apart and start again I wanted to know where people read up on wiring and how to do it professionally. I have a...

Hypothetically, if I was running a stock CT26 turbo at 11psi measured at the manifold and fitted an intercooler I would likely see a pressure drop if u measured boost at the same point. Let's say this drop is 3psi. My boost is now 8psi. If I use a boost controller to increase this back to my...

Hi just finished rewire of my fj40 2F and amazingly everything works as far as dash, switches, lights etc. Used the EZ kit. My problem is that the motor does turn over but the starter says on after letting go of key. I obviously did something wrong. I was hoping someone would point me in the...

Finishing up new radiator install. I have one of the cooler lines between the frame rail and bottom of the radiator. Are both lines supposed to be together routed outside/in front of the radiator? Not much room, and my memory didn't take note when I pulled the old rad out. Pic 1 shows the line...

I am hoping this will be a good and useful continuous review of my set of Treadwright tires. I'll update this thread as time goes on. Let see if it pays to try and save a few bucks and help a local business. 3/28/2017: Place an order for 5 of the Axiom 275/70/18. Chose the pick up option to...
