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...

My friend @bobm likes to keep track of the shenanigans in my shop so I'm going to post some updates on this little Cadillac project here. I bought this car on BAT last year.. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1962-cadillac-62-convertible-19/ And now I'm going to attempt to get everything...

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...

It will be 10 years in November! Finally to the body assembly stage! I'll be looking for engine bay decals soon, maybe even this decade:grinpimp:. Brake booster, air filter housing, coolant surge tank and alternator. Where's the best source?

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...

, nevermind the festivus that is my garage. 462 bbc, soa, power steering, shackle reversal, high crossover steering, Aqualou knuckle 21 degree rotation and gusset, power disc brakes all fj80 brake parts. THM350 stage 3 tranny manual reverse valve body 1400 stall. FiTech fuel injection on the way.

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...

Hello , thanks in advance if you can help. We have done a number of fj40's and 43's but this one has me stumped. What a mal function. After the frame off resturation on the FJ43, she leans 6.5 inches to the passenger side. Any idea what causes this? Every part on the car is new except the...

Haven't posted any progress on here for a while! A lot has happened since Summer '21, when I bought my 40 and started this journey. After taking a month to drive the loud, floaty, smoking thing, I got started and tore the thing apart. At the beginning I really only wanted to address the obvious...

Joined the club on 2.16.24 as a birthday present to myself. I’ve known this truck since new, it’s a one family truck, bought new in San Antonio in 1996, and driven more than 367k miles on the original drivetrain. As a kid I remember seeing it for the first time in our church parking lot, window...

I currently have a set of Corbeau seats in my FJ40 and was considering going back with the original style seats. I think I have most of the needed parts ….. although the bottom pans probably won’t make it and might cause me to get tetanus shot !!!! Does it look like anything else I’m missing...

Hi all . Im.new to this forum and new to Toyota restoration work. I'm far from new to restorations. I've restored Jaguars, Volvos and American muscle cars so any help I can offer to anyone on here on that stuff, I would be more than happy. Car work has been a hobby of mine my entire life since...

Owning a FJ40 has been a bucket list item of mine for a Loooong time. Recently I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to purchase a 75 FJ40 from a family friend who restored it and was finally ready to sell it. It's mostly stock with an original power train. It has a few aftermarket...

I asked @roadstr6 to help find me a 60 and 23 minutes later.... I was looking for a project for me and my son; crockpot has been trouble free for two years so I hope this is something we can work on, swear at, and enjoy for many years. Thanks to John Whitley for parting with it. "Angus"

Howdy all, I purchased my first Land Cruiser (80 series) in September of 2023, and have been working diligently on base-lining it these past few months. Only in the past week or so have I felt confident enough to begin driving her, as she was in a bit of neglected state. I am loving every...

I bought this car from my uncle in March 1989. He bought it Dec. 1958, and according to him he drove it about a year before front end collision damaged the GRP ( glass reinforced plastic ) early fiberglass body. Pictures show then and now.
