16" Tacoma wheels and lug nuts. 200.00 for the set.
 
It can probably be an OK SM420 as my gears seem to be good, but I think I may have snapped a main-shaft or something. I still need to pull it apart.
 
Hey @FJCRAWLER, you still have those Corbeau's? I might be in the market depending on the condition of the seats that come with this 40.
 
Just throwing this out there, Looking for a trade. Not really too interested in a straight up sale due to the fact that ill never get out what i put into it, also i love this truck so if the perfect thing doesnt come along then im not really pressed to trade it... but here goes.

I was looking to see if anyone out there would be interested in trading an 80 series LC for my Daily Driver 1987 4runner. Crazy trade, i know but read the details. This is without a doubt one of the nicest firstgen 4runners out there that youll find. Most are ragged to hell

In the past year i have put over 12,000 into the 4runner in upgrades and maintenance.

-Over the shoulder rear seatbelts
-4 inch suspension lift (bracket style lift where CV axles retain factory location, and diff drop)
-NO Extensive Body Work
-NO Rust
-Started life as an automatic, swapped to a manual by a shop
-Marlin Crawler HD clutch kit
-new Aisin clutch master/slave
-new ujoints, im probably leaving out a lot. I can send you the work invoices. These are things i can think of off the top of my head.
-I will also include a 1985 4runner Complete front axle. This axle is in great condition and really could be run in the condition it is in now, but I was planning on a rebuild before i swapped it in.
-most major work done by a shop by a toyota master mechanic

THE BAD:

-Swapped in a g52, and it makes noise in 5th gear, It needs the w56, so the shifters will sit a little further back. Good thing is that the swap is done and all you need to do is unbolt the g52 and swap in the w56. The clutch kit is less than a year old. I was planning on dual cases, this is why i havent done it yet.
-The wheels are ugly to me
-rear leafs are flat
-open diffs
-VSV needs to be replaced, it prevents the motor from idling up when AC is on, pretty easy and cheap part.
-light stains in the rear seat, can be easily removed with a steam cleaner.
-Its still IFS

This is my Daily Driver, AKA i needed to make it as reliable as humanly possible so I could get it to work and back every day. I get stopped daily about it and asked about it.


I would like to trade for an 80 series that is in good shape, needs to be reliable and get me to work and to the trails. Lockers a super big plus. White a huge plus also.

These are all i have currently on my phone, I can add more later
 
Nice Runner.
I have to ask. If you put all that time and money into it why do you want to trade it?
I would be willing to bet you can find a nice 80 at a reasonable price. Then you'll have the best of both worlds. Plus give @jynx wife a little time and I'm sure he'll have something for sale. She'll get tried of mowing around his collection.
 
Haha I am at a point where I don't want to go 100% into it if I want an 80. So if I can find something nice then I'll trade. Money is tight
 
I just want something with a little more interior room also, I origionally got this thing plus the axle to make a crawler, but things changed.
 
Lol, most of my junk moves on its own, and what doesn't I just push around with the tractor. If the 92 had the new trans swapped in and I had finished the tune-up I might could part with it, but right now it wouldn't be a good daily, plus it's brown with no lockers.
 
Ah thanks for the reply though! I'd need to keep the build mild for now while I DD it. I wonder if there's anything out there that's not torn up lol
 
Hey everybody,

Pretty new to the forum and gradually dipping my toes, then foot, then ankle (you get the idea) into the LC waters.

Kinda two separate entrances if you will:

1)My dad bought a 78 FJ40 almost 10 years ago( will try an post pics soon). Needed a new fuel tank liner and carburetor to even start and drive (it does now), which has taken him and my more mechanically inclined brother years of here and there tinkering since they're not hardcore hobbyists and they get absolutely zero help from me :oops:.

Wondering if anyone has suggestions/recommendations on anyone local to me (Knoxville area) that can be hired to "speed the process up" and get the truck enjoyable to drive. Not necessarily looking for perfection just safe and fun, mainly to drive on weekends. If anyone has a proverbial crystal ball for how much that can cost (I know impossible without looking it over) that'd be a bonus.

2) I myself have recently become fairly obsessed with getting a 100 series for myself as a DD. Not looking to do a ton of off-roading (at this point). Looking for a well cared for 03-07 with ~150k miles. Appreciate any tips you all may have.

Thanks!
 
Looking for opinions from some LC folks on a trade I was just offered.

I have a built 2nd gen Toyota std cab pickup rock crawler on 39's for sale for $5500 and a guy offered me this trade:

1985 Toyota Landcruiser FJ60, original engine 6 cylinder inline manual 4.2L, 3 inch lift, 35inch red general tires, rear lock right locker, rock sliders, 4.11 gears.

Worth anywhere around the $5000 range? Would I have any luck selling this since my crawler hasn't had many monetary offers, just trade offers?

Steve I am not by any means a 60 guy, but my off the cuff answer is that you could should be able to get at least that for it if it is mechanically sound and the body isn't destroyed.

There are some I've seen going around here for $8k, $10k and beyond with alot fewer mods than that truck. I'm not sure what the market is up there, but with all the outdoorsie people up there, I think a nice mildly built 60 would definitely appeal to a little broader range than the crawler would.
