restoration

I have a 1982 FJ40 that was passed down from my dad. He didn't take care of the truck and allowed it to get rusty, to the point where even a scratch was noticeable. Now, it has a hole and is still deteriorating. The problem I am facing is the tough battle of whether I should sell it or keep it...

I have recently made (relay/wiper) restoration decals for another Toyota model and would like to share the results. If you like the results and are looking for a specific decal please let me know -- It is also possible to install them on your part. Thanks, Mo Faraz

Hello All, I bought a 1978 FJ40, and though it has lots going for it, it may have been a mistake. It certainly needs a new tub, which I am game to take on. I have a welder now and want to get to work soon. However, I'm starting to wonder if this particular FJ40 is worth it. I sanded a few...

Hey all, I'm new to the forum but not new to Toyota trucks. I've always been a gear head and currently have a 3rd Gen TRD Supercharged 4Runner and Honda S2000. I've always loved the look of the FJ60 but didn't want to buy something thats been modded or repaired incorrectly so I began the...

Anyone have a good source for restoration quality 80 series alloy wheels? Could be refurb or new. Thanks

I've been a long time lurker, you guys have helped me out more than you will ever know, so I finally decided to get around and do some posting! I am getting close to finishing this build up. I will try and attach some snap shots of me restoring it. 1 man operation in a single car garage. Maybe...

Hey all, I bought a 1979 HJ45 Australian Troopy less than a year ago and am working to get it running again. It came with the H engine that was seized (I got it to move a bit, but one of the cylinders is rusted). The rust is pretty typical rust front floors and some around the wheel wells and...

Greetings—I found this forum while considering a restoration project to be very useful. I abandoned the restoration project and found another FJ40 in pretty good shape—the journey has just started! I was told everything is original (except for the paint). I was also told everything was in tip...

Hello everyone, I own a 2012 Land Cruiser 200. I made a costly mistake changing factory exhaust to a terrible (direct) one. During the process of fitting this buggy exhaust the garage had to change some parameters on the ECU. Without this change on the ECU the vehicule was rejecting heavy...

This one just happened into my life last week. I was about to start in on a 1976 FJ40 to build up and sell until my next scheduled project showed up. The Whitey Forty has been around Jackson for about 12 years. The owner says it as restored to its current condition by Rocky Mountain Cruisers...

Wanted to start a build thread for my FJ40. 40's have always been my favorite car. My wife and I first saw this one by an animal shelter that we volunteer at. After weeks of driving past it I finally left a note on the windshield and got my hopes way to high but heard nothing. I gave up on it...
