Hi all. I've lurked a while and been able to keep my DD 95 FJ80 (245K miles) on the road with all the info here. I need more help. I've got a HG leak I am guessing-- strong smell of coolant in exhaust and having to top off the reservoir. AND after fixing a bunch of oil leaks (distrib...

I am new to the forum as I have just purchased a 1982 FJ43 that was fully restored in South America. Unfortunately they left water in the block when they transported it to the NorthEast and now I have a cracked block. Over the last week I have been researching pretty extensively and am trying...

Looking for a good master rebuild kit, with a little boost in power! I useit as a dly driver and off-road use and she's Stock with 33's. JT Outfitters has a kit but would like to have some opinions thank you for your help!

I'm currently in the middle of this build on a 66' FJ40: 1966 FJ40 Frame-Off Build (3rd Generation Owner) It's been decided/determined that the original block is too badly corroded to have it machined and rebuilt. I have the crankshaft, connecting rods, camshaft, lifters, etc that I expect to...

Carburetor off 03/76 2F. Stock Aisin carb that was rebuilt last summer. Has only been ran a small amount till I diagnosed my 2F has the back cylinder knocking. Cruiser has less that 72k miles on it. $100 plus shipping.

I've been perusing the several write-ups on box rebuilds, but still have questions. I'm blaming my death-wobble on the 0.040" of backlash in my sector shaft (measured at the end of the pitman arm where the relay rod connects,) There is zero axial play in the sector shaft. Being hesitant to...

I am re-posting my beautiful FJ62. The previous buyer didnt follow through on the purchase while I was overseas. I am moving out of the country and would like to sell to a good home. It is currently at a Toyota dealership outside of Boston. They did an inspection and can send pictures at...

I'm thinking of purchasing an FJ60 that needs a complete rebuild. Closest reputable shop quoted me $5,100 to rebuild + $1,500 labor. I'd really appreciate some feedback on that pricing. For that amount, I'd almost rather step up to a LS3 swap.

Mine is toast.....and were heading to Baja. 97

Can anyone recommend a shop in the bay area to rebuild my transmission? Or a place that sells/ships rebuilt transmissions?

I had great expectations and plans to put a SM420 into my FJ40. But, alas, life has taken a different turn and I have headed in a different direction with 40. What does this mean for you - if you want to undertake the project, I am offering a smoking hot deal on this entire setup. Some assembly...

so i was looking around for a knuckle rebuild kit and all the ones i found are for the 80's. am i missing something? I'm so close to finishing my 100 i just need this last rebuild kit and ill be able to drive it again after months of it being up on jack stands.. :cry:

I read that the 2f has better oil flow and that the engine get the oil after it goes through the filter. Can the F during a rebuild do this(open up for more oil flow and filter before going to engine)?? Or is it just not worth trying to do? I know most will say upgrade but I have a nice cruiser...

I have no idea how this subject has not been discussed in this forum (no results on a search). It's common knowledge over in the LC world. So, awhile back I bought a reman Toyota starter for my 4Runner, and about the same time one for my 2FE project. What was interesting is I had the same...

the FSM calls for a 83 foot pound torque on the end cover. I'm at 65 right now and am concerned the bolts may break. They feel like they are stretching. Should I be concerned or go all the way to 83 ft-lb. and I may be missing it, but the book does not cover the torque spec for the top plate on...

Has anyone ever tried, and if so, with what results, to rebuild the gearbox connected to the window regulator motor? I have three of four windows which absolutely crawl when it's below body temperature outside. I don't want to swap them unless I have to. My guess is the grease in the gearbox...

I had the carb on my 1982 Toyota rebuilt due to not starting unless I hit it with ether after sitting for a day, but the issue I'm having now is when I give it gas under a load it will give that sucking sound and have no power at all when trying to drive the vehicle in gear unless I really goose...

Hello Mud, I'm rebuilding a 77 Fj40 tcase and I've got a few questions that I'm hoping y'all can help me with. #1. The large piece of felt that came with the rebuild kit doesn't seem to fit as it's too big to fit comfortably in the shift housing above the o ring. Is this common? Do I need...
