project

Ok, I am broadening my search. Looking for a FJ60/62 in overall good shape. I originally wanted an engine-less setup but I am open to other options. No tailgate/quarter panel rust is a plus. I'm in the SouthEast but can travel for the right deal.

I have a 1977 FJ40 project that I will be selling. It has been in a barn since the last 1980's. Needs outside rocker panels and a rear sill. Otherwise the tub is very solid. The frame looks great and has no rust issues. The rear of the frame is perfect. The chassis has v8 engine with...

Looking for early door bottoms for half door project.

I'm in the process of finishing off a set of half doors from an early fj40 that I purchased on e-bay. They seem to have been cut for bestop upper halfs to be mounted when finished. They have a strip of steel welded on top (very nicely I might add) much better job than I could have done. Does...

I've been out of the wheeling game for 5 years and looking for a reason to get back into it. A co-worker sold me a 76 FJ40 for a deal, so this was the perfect excuse. With my second child on the way in late may, the race is on to get as much done before as possible. The build was supposed to be...

New to your site but have been following for a while here now. Excellent insights are here in abundance... A friend turned me onto the Land Cruiser realm as I'm looking for our first LC/LX and want to be able to hand it off to my 16 year old once he has spent some time learning about his...

Hello all. I'm in the process of re-assembling my Canadian spec land cruiser and needed to ask what experiences with aftermarket parts are products I should seek or avoid. As you can see from my avatar, it's a total rebuild. And I'm in the market for a complete brake line set (rigid and flex) ...

Like most of my projects, this one starts out backwards: I saw an ad for a Willys truck project on Craigslist while pretending to watch a romantic comedy with the wife. I didn't really want a Willys truck, but the owner had been assembling the parts for a OM617 conversion for several years...

Glad to have a forum like this to help as I attempt to bring what was a 1961 FJ40 back to being some sort of respectable ride. I didn't do myself any favors by buying something without doing more research, but here I am the new owner of this thing 1961 FJ40 Purchase Could have saved myself a...

Sell me your rust bucket. i have a need and some ideas i'd love to mess with. chuck

This is the 3rd one of these I have owned and the first one to really go under the knife. This ones an 1989 that I bought with the majority of the body refinished and the interior randomly refinished as well. My plan was to finish the restoration, then modify to my taste with lift, electronics...

1978 fj 40. I purchased it thinking I would swap the axles to my 74 40. The 40 came from Globe AZ. The owner told me that Dave from 4 plus did all the work on it. After I got it I decided I would build it up possibly for a everyday driver. So I started going that route and purchased a donor...

Hello all, Like to introduce you to Project Ugly Duckling. She's an August 1969 originally factory soft top FJ40 that we picked up for $1800 in Portland, Oregon. Thanks to Mark Hawley at Metal Tech who let the PO drop and store it until we got down there. Literally, the PO did just about...

I need help finding a supplier for the grommets with a long neck that fit in the bottom of the windshield frame on my 79 FJ40. I believe they are called “sleeved grommets.” See the picture below. They protect the wiper motor wires and windshield washer water line on the passenger side and the...

This '84 FJ60 is going to be our "family adventure machine". It will be built out in somewhat of an overlanding setup with good street manners and driveability in mind. It will probably be my daily driver if I'm able to get all of the kinks ironed out. It will also be towed behind our motorhome...

Tucson Craigslist : https://tucson.craigslist.org/cto/5601276881.html Project stalled after getting drivetrain complete and about half of body work done. My plan was to build up a mechanically sound FJ40 Land Cruiser and upgrade it using OEM Toyota components, if not Fj40, then Fj60. Not...

Hello all. First post to the forum. So I have been helping some friends and family work on their cars lately, and I have rekindled my interest in restoring the old 1994 FZJ80 that’s been sitting in my mother’s driveway for years. I found this website and I’m inspired. I remembered it being very...
