rebuild

1. 1996 model LX450 ‘slung a rod’ several years ago at 275k miles. I bought at 70k from a rich dude, it literally looked brand new. The next 200k miles, all oil changes etc and only 93 octane. This vehicle has literally never been off road (sorry to disappoint everyone, just not my thing...

Sometime in the next few weeks I'm planning to undertake this project. It's time. Pretty leaky and my steering system needs a refresh. About 20 years ago a friend helped me repack bearings on a drum brake axle and I repacked the bearings on my 100 series a few years back. Otherwise, I'm a...

My 1965 FJ45 LPB (from Arizona) engine was completely rebuilt also the SD40 carburetor. Yesterday was fire up day. It started immediately, ran well and idled. When throttling up it would stall or run rough. Looked at all vacuum points and all good. Determined it must be with SD40. Reason being...

I bought this little trailer all of the way back in 2015 to pull behind the Subaru Forester I had at that time. It was $250 from Harbor Freight and I spent around $250 more to put 3/4" plywood beds and sides on it. Since then we've made hundreds of trips to the city yard waste disposal area...

So I have a 1986 fj60 that I really love. The interior has been dynamatted and all the upholstery has been done. However I went to drive it yesterday and smoke was just pouring out of the tailpipe. I got out and checked and sure enough there’s oil buildup in the tailpipe. I had been planning on...

Figured I would share this for giggles and for anyone curious about alternator rebuilding. Last summer my high output alternator roasted a bearing so I swapped it out with an OEM that I had kept in storage for many years to use as a backup. Well I suspect the sub zero temps we had a couple...

I have these pistons and rods from my 1965 FJ45 F-135 rebuild. As far as I know they are stock and original. One of the pistons is damaged I know for sure. The others look to be OK. I hate throwing any Land Cruiser parts away so offering these to anyone who might be able to use them...

This was a few weeks ago. As of today I have everything back in. Just got to connect the hoses and cables, add fluids and prime the oil... I think. I adjusted the rockers/valves to spec. Shop that did the block recommended Lucas 20-50 hot rod oil for the break in. How soon should I re-tighten...

Anyone have suggestions for a good shop between San Diego and Sacramento CA that can do a good rebuild on my 4spd transmission?

Who rebuilds FJ40 Instrument Clusters?

I want to rebuild the 7.5 inch differential, F302, in my 83 pickup, 22R, 1/2 ton, 2WD. I’m looking for information on the SST 09530-30012, Differential Drive Pinion Adjusting Gauge. I know there are other ways to set the pinion depth, but for now I’m hoping to find out whatever I can about...

I have a 1978 FJ40 which was imported from Columbia and has carb issues. The existing carb is an Aisan, it looks like it may be the original, has the 'rod' linkage and has a vacuum operated choke breaker. I have read quite a few discussions on this site about the pro's and con's of Aisan...

Hello everybody, This is Dusty and my BJ42. This is a great site, l-o-t-s of tech info here. I'm a long time Land Cruiser guy but I'm not loud, I prefer to listen and read. The truck, 1981 BJ42, is about 75% rebuilt, almost all OEM, and all vin # match. I've owned this truck for 27 years. I'm...

I rebuilt both knuckles completely about a month ago and saw this yesterday on the passenger side, driver's side is relatively fine. I had taken a quick look a couple weeks ago or so and saw that I think the felt at one spot wasn't seated properly and made a mental note to check it out and maybe...

Who on mud is the recommended person to send a 2f carburetor to rebuild? Cost? or is it better to just buy a good aftermarket one like at cityracer? I am not sure mine is worthy of rebuilding but it is a oem carb. I started taking it apart but its a little out of my depth. here are some...

So not my first rodeo but having an issue I need to talk through and maybe someone can chime in with advice that I’m missing. 96 Fzj80 supercharged with a rebuilt transmission (less than 1000 miles on Tranny rebuild) by a shop done by the previous owner. I had a brand new short block I put a...
