restoration

Hey guys, Just bought my first FJ40, a 1975 in dune beige with a chevy 350 conversion on the original 4 speed manual. I'm really pumped to share it, and you all have helped me a ton already with parts, fixes, and project guidance. I attached some pics so you can see what it's like to start. I...

Well since I've been crawling around on everyone else's threads for a long time now, I thought I would finally share a little too. Since we've all seen the same ole, same ole, I thought I'd just get it out of the way and dump my entire car cleanup photo reference library folder into QuickTime...

Hey all, My '85 FJ60 is my daily driver. It was handed down to me from my parents who bought it back when they got married in '85. The ultimate goal is to get the truck back in (or close to) it's original shape. Mechanically, everything's in pretty good shape. Engine is healthy and all that. So...

I finally finished my frame off restoration which took two years with a little time off here and there. I am looking forward to my next project. That is why I am sad to say I am putting my girl up for sale. I imported this beautiful Fj45 from Australia approximately three years ago. Only drove...

Has anyone on here resurrected their old FJ40 instrument panel before? I'm trying to see if I can do just that with my old '65 instrument panel as I have seen they are pretty expensive to replace, at least for a college kid like myself! :D Here's what it looks like; Any...

Hello all. First post to the forum. So I have been helping some friends and family work on their cars lately, and I have rekindled my interest in restoring the old 1994 FZJ80 that’s been sitting in my mother’s driveway for years. I found this website and I’m inspired. I remembered it being very...

I have always wanted one, and everyone seems to have good stories of growing up doing some crazy missions in these old girls-so I wanted one to enjoy too! The ute will be useful, and slowly building it up will be a learning process, and my form of "therapy".

G,day folks, My project started 18 months ago when I found a 1985 FJ73 Landcruiser in my drive way.

So I have put myself in the face of another project. I am no stranger to the Toyota world as I am also working on a '96 Toyota 4Runner. I have always found the 40 to be a "cool truck". After being jealous of everyone with a solid front axle, wheeling the IFS of the 4Runner, I dreamed of the...
