Long story short: Purchased the FJ40 over a year ago. I'm 22 and have invested 1500 hours, and 15k+ in brand new oem parts, restoration tools, etc... Took it apart after driving it twice thinking i could restore it quickly. Took longer than expected. Was working on it outside my parent's house...

1965 FJ40, What Have I Gotten Myself Into? It all started a few years ago in Africa. I was fresh out of high school and ready to explore the world. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my life so I said, "fxxx it, let’s go to Africa". Anyways, I found a group called African Venture, which...

We are starting to restore our 1971 FJ40. My grandfather bought it new. It still has the original engine. The carburetor had previously been replaced. I want to keep it as original as possible, but I'm considering upgrading to a fuel injection system (possibly a Howell or Weber). Either fuel...

Hi all, One of the newer members here, and just getting around to starting a thread on my latest project - a 1984 FJ60. I previously owned a 1990 HJ60 (while living in the Congo) and had to get my hands on another cruiser when we moved back state-side. I found this one for a decent price...

Hi, I wonder if anyone has information about TOYOTA recommendation regarding the hook fixation on the mechanical winch? The original brochures show quite unstable position of the hook. Looks like when you start driving the hook will contact the front panel Standard owner's manuals don't...

Unfortunately I am VERY late in doing this write up but well...I've been busy. So here goes... First thing first is comparing the old steering wheel with 364k miles on it and the new one. The color is a great match for new leather but you can see how age has altered the color on my wheel...
