resto

Hi guys. New member from NSW Australia. Been watching site for a while and found it full of great info. I've finally taken the plunge and started my resto. I have two FJ45's (196? & 197?). Have started resto of the 197? with the help of a donor HJ60 (2H non-turbo/5 Speed). Hoping this will be my...

First, a big thanks to Bob - TRD48176 - who set the tone with his Resto a couple of years back... https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/06-4runner-frame-resto.1258182/ He generously donated his time to chat with me in depth about my rust issues. Like too many on this forum, the kill-joy of the 4th...

I don't have a plan. It's just shoot from the hip. Make it up as it goes along. But I will post from time to time the progress. I'm definitely doing a LS. But will concentrate on the restoration part more. Gonna take her down to frame, acid dip all metals, ets. Should be fun.

Got this 2 weeks ago. Original Trakka fitout (Oz) with unmolested 2H engine. Happy days!

I recently started restoring my dads old 1988 Hj75 ute to its former glory. The body is extremely rusty, and currently doesn’t have a roof on it, but the engine is in surprisingly good condition, (nothing can kill an old 2H engine). Yesterday and today i got to work stripping the interior and...

Hi, I am trying to get the semi float pair for offset diff as the previous owner decided to drill bigger holes to make way for wider bolts/studs, yeah this includes the drum as well! Does anyone know the spline count on these? Or the year they changed specs? I live in Mexico but have someone...

OK so this is going to be a long one but bear with me. Im looking to start at $14,500. Will entertain reasonable offers. Im selling to buy an 80 series. I just built this truck using all Marlin/Allpro/toyota/yukon parts. All of the best parts brand new, no used junk yard parts. It is a perfectly...

No luck with this in FAQ....... Any of you guys out there had any luck finding a source for the sun visor blades (CCOT says they won't be restocking) or figured out a way to get the blades redone at upholstery shop, etc.? My hardware is in great shape, but the visor part is done. Any thoughts...

I bought this basket case from @mechag a few years ago and have made some progress, so it's time I start a thread. I have learned a bunch from lurking here for many years and since I've received so much help from so many already, I hope I can give a little back. Here's the history I know: The...

Got my first 100 series just after Christmas to have a cruiser with comfort-ride. I typically prefer old rigs, but have come to see the light. 2001 LX470 one owner 172,000 miles Ironman suspension added Trail Taylor rack 295 75 16 BFG A/Ts Slee Blueberry bumper Rear bumper by Joe Williams...

Ok. So I figured that I would share some pics as I try to get Beastie to the resto side of the tracks. Here it sits in my garage after having the tires dowhsized from 37" to 29" Picture of the wheels on 16.5" by 12" Easton rims. Next up is electrical as the PO mounted some KC day lighters on...

I guess it's time to start a build. I've been absorbing information from this forum for two years now and am extremely greatful for the wealth of knowledge here! I knew nothing of Fj40's prior to getting mine. I've been a huge fan of Toyota for many years now. I've owned a 2011 Tacoma, 2012...

Hi all - When I bought my '77 FJ-40 ~ 5 years ago, it came with a 2nd hard top. This top is ready for some prep and paint, and the rain gutter needs some TLC. A solid candidate for ~ 10 - 15 hours of work, ideal for a truck that needs an undamaged hard top. I've included a number of pics to...

1977 Cali-spec, pulled almost 30 years ago off a lo-mileage rolled FJ55. Tested, works perfectly, bracket and flexpipe included.$250 shipped, Postal MO only. @DSB345 has right of first refusal (in case he's collecting smog parts for his resto) No PMs please. Mark

i picked this up in September and have been slowly getting it sorted out . suspension is rebuilt and the body and paint are done. gotta do some interior work next .

Here i am again, I'll get right to it. Previous owner of an '86 FJ60, i was cruising through an industrial area in the Northern Emirates when i saw a very distinct roofline out the corner of my eye. Needless to say i stopped to take a look. It was parked in a ditch outside some sort of workshop...
