I'm finally at a point to start this project. Picked up a 67 FJ40 about 4 years ago. Got it for a good price and the seller even delivered it.
The pic on Offer Up.
This is the time that I did get the engine home and start to take off all the accessories. Later on when I see the carbon build up, I decided to take a step further which is “over-haul” the engine. Just for a peace of mind in future.
it is just the beginning step, before entering the problem zone.
Hello wonderful 80 Series owners, back with another little upgrade project.
Having started fitting out the back of the beast with a camping storage set up, the rear view mirror has become nothing more than a wind screen / wind shield ornament.
At the beginning of the year I had to replace the...

Alright, we got a new project that I'm gonna be doing with my dad. Vehicle has been sitting since '92 with the head off the motor. So if anyone reading has a 2f around upstate SC let's chat. Rust seems to be in the expected places. Bottom of the door and top rail of the tub where the top sits...
I finally did some actual research, and got to the “point” of what makes Amsoil better than everything else. Thanks to a sponsorship from my man Justin at Rusty Nail Racing gear oil will be the least of my problems. Plus I test out that locker…
I used to have almost 20 parts and project FJ55 rigs, but got rid of everything and saved these 2 to rebuild personally. Well I have a chance to grab a perfect FJ55 body and drop in some diesel fun, so I am selling these off to one or two of you lucky pig fans.
Both have valid Colorado titles...

I'm a new owner of a well mechanically maintained 2002 LX470. I've been working on this thing cosmetically and making good progress. New Ridies leather installed, etc. I have a few issues with the Mark Levinson system and this forum has been awesome. The search function has treated me well. I...
Talk about men at work… Dale Coffey made this awesome dash upgrade. I was able to order one and yesterday we installed it. It’s better than I could have expected. The storage is useful considering I don’t have bucket seats for a tuffy install. And cupholders… magic. Great build quality and for...
This late model fj40 has so much potential! It is as close to an original survivor still wearing its original dune beige 416 paint!! This fj40 has been parked for 26 years!!!! It has 124k original miles! For a 79 its in really solid shape. The only bad rust is the drivers floor and the rear...

I’m going to have a build party/HAMOM the weekend of Nov 3-5. The plan is to chop up the body, and start building a roll cage.
I’m in...
Considering selling my fj40 om606 swap project, I started piecing this together while everything was shut for Covid and got all the main pieces together and then things got back to normal and I haven’t had time to finish it. It is a mix of a 70 and 68 fj40 body parts with a later 4 speed...
Hey All,
I just scooped up a '95 80 series this weekend out of Kentucky! The goal for this truck is to make it my daily in year when the lease is up on my Taco. Here's the details for the truck:
1995 FZJ80 - Moonglow Pearl
142,000mi
low rust
needs some fixin'
So for step 1, I have to fix...
Half-heartedly searching for a 70 series tub for a project. I have a 79 Series cab ready to go, but then I got a dog, and now I need a bigger cab (like a 70 series) to fit fido, or to build a kennel behind the 79 cab. Do you got something interensting that is salvagable? Maybe even a 74...
Wanted to post a small project (that took way too long) that was completely inspired (possibly stolen out of love) by The FJ Company. I just love what they do, how they do it and the vision that have set (and bar) for the classic 4x4 industry. Clearly they have a very expensive final product and...
