restore

Hello Everyone. I am looking to restore my Dash pad to my FJ60 (there are a few cracks and one significant tear that will get bigger). However, I just am not looking to spend 2k on the job. I know Just Dashes is amazing quality, but out of my reach! Let me know if y'all have any ideas!

A friend gave me a beat up Warn M12000 for free. It was on a very heavy home-built receiver mount that weighed about as much as the winch itself. First thing I did was separate the winch from the mount and this is what I have:

working on getting some tin cups restored, wondering if anyone has a line on someone willing to do some zinc coating for me with a small batch. really looking for a recommendation of any company anybody has used with success or if someone wants to help out and do the leg work for a set of tin...

Here we go again. The River critter (bought with that name) is under the knife. Staring on the back and moving forward. 3 days deep right now. have the rear end built rear frame restored. fixed a f holes in the cab .

I am getting tired of the frayed and sticky driver and passenger seatbelts, so was considering sending them off to Safety Restore for a couple of hundred bucks. Is there a better solution that this group had an experience with? I hear that the frayed seat belts are pretty common.

Hey! First of all, Merry Christmas! Hope you guys doing well! Some years ago, a friend of mine gave me a old ‘79 24v Warn Winch of 9000lbs/4100kg. I want to convert it to 12v, and MAYBE this is a "stupid" idea, but I was thinking to buy a Bow Motor 1 aswell a motor box control (my current...

Hello everyone, Has anyone attempted or have any experience with restoring the stock, 15" steel rims for an FJ60? Not only re-chroming, but straightening and correcting runout as well? I'm at the point where new tires for the FJ60 always need massive balancing weights that end up falling off...

Dear Mudders, after a long year of a frame off restoration (and some mods...) I would like to thank all the forumers as I've found thousands of answers, suggestions, ideas and information that was absolutely useful to achieve my result. It's my pleasure to share with you some pictures. The baby...

Let's just say I am a noob times a million. I've just inherited a Land Cruiser that was sadly very neglected in a driveway outside for years, but still running okay despite all odds. I have dreams of making this a daily driver as I am without a car now. I've received a quote for the repairs, and...

*EDIT - SKIP TO PAGE 5 TO SEE THE WORK BEGIN Pages 1-4 are mostly chit-chat and pontification about what to do with this thing. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think I may have a sickness.... I took...

So, I am new to the forum and to anything offroad. I currently work directly for the owner of this cruiser. Ill be honest I dont know anything about the cruisers or the cruiser world. That said this forum consistently comes up and offers helpful threads with great info. I thought that it would...

Hi everybody, I live in Vegas and just bought a 1981 BJ42. It's a truck that was manufactured for the Canadian market and I'll be importing and shipping it back to Vegas in a few weeks. I'm looking to restore it and was looking for advice on the best place to have it restored. I'm not...

Stumbled upon this cool little 1963 FJ40 with the factory hardtop in one of my late night searches somewhere near the end of the internet......she arrived yesterday from Montana....safe to say Florida is probably the furthest it has been in its life. Neat truck....very complete. This truck was...

Does anyone have any tips or pointers in restoring a horn button off of FJ40 steering wheels?

I'm pretty far into this build to be starting a build thread but I have admired so many others stories that I feel obligated to make one too. I bought this project a right before getting married in 2014, bad timing to start a project. The wife's jokes to "train me" were the origin of the...

Hi, I am Looking for good places to restore a BJ42 at Europe, preferentially at Italy or Spain but any good place at Europe is fine. Any help is welcome. Thanks.

I've followed along and learned a decent amount on this forum for a few years now. I figured it's probably time I start my own thread in case it could help someone else out. I'm far from a mechanic, though I know and learn enough to be perhaps be called proficient. The background: I...
