What are the actual dimensions of the grease pump ? There are some small reproduction pumps out there and it's possible there may be one made close to the oem Toyota pumps .

Toyota Grease Pumps
A grease pump (09170-00010) was included with Large and Medium Tool Rolls. Although the grease pump was not included in the Zipper Bag tool kits, a smaller pump was available from Toyota. That grease pump is also no longer available (09170-00030).
The Large and Medium Tool Rolls include the same grease pump, identical except for the marking on the edge of the head. Grease pumps in Large Tool Rolls are marked TOYOTA TEQ MOTOR, while pumps in Medium Tool Rolls are marked TOYOTA MOTOR.
The large grease pump pictured is marked TOYOTA MOTOR on one side and MADE IN JAPAN on the other. Two nozzles are included with these grease pumps, a straight (120mm) nozzle, and a bent nozzle (171mm) with a chuck. Neither nozzle is marked. The grease pump does not use a cartridge and must be filled manually. The Toyota Parts Catalog identifies the grease pump capacity as 150cc. A manufacture's mark does not appear on the grease pump, although what may be a date code, D1 (April 1971), is stamped into the top flange. The pump features 4 scored bands and a stepped barrel for ease of handling. The grease pump was originally sealed in a plastic bag along with the individually wrapped nozzles.
The small grease pump (09170-00030) replaced the larger version. This pump has a gold finish and uses an 80g or 85ml cartridge (or manual fill). Instead of a plunger handle/rod, it has a ring/chain. This pump is marked YAMADA on the edge of the head, YAMADA MADE IN JAPAN on the side of the lever, and has a TOYOTA MOTOR decal on the side of the barrel. The decal has a gold border, with gold letters on a red background. Like the larger pump, a straight nozzle and a bent nozzle with chuck were supplied. Later versions of this pump no longer came with the TOYOTA MOTOR decal.
The grease pump pictured below (may be 09170-00011) appeared on eBay a couple of years ago. The step-down barrel has been replaced by a straight barrel with 3 scored bands and curved plunger handle. This pump is marked TOYOTA MOTOR JAPAN on the side of the lever.
If you are looking for a grease pump for use in a Toyota tool roll, the most critical dimension is the length. The Large Tool Roll body is approximately 330mm (13 inches) wide. The pump can be secured in loop #11 with the lever either inside or outside of the loop. Here are the OEM pumps pictured with other similar pumps. From left to right: KTC model G-300, OEM large, OEM small, Yamada model KH-120.
The KTC G-300 pump is slightly larger (length and diameter) than the large OEM pump. It will fit in the Large tool roll, with the lever outside the loop. Other grease pumps with similar dimensions should fit as well. The OEM stepped barrel design is somewhat unusual and not easy to find.
This early Yamada KH-120 has the same dimensions as the small OEM pump, but uses a rod/handle plunger. The current Yamada KH-120 (see below), which is similar to the small OEM pump, also uses the ring/chain.
Summarizing the OEM grease pumps.
The small Yamada KH-120 grease pumps are still available and have the ring/chain. The current look is different than the earlier one. The pump has a satin silver finish instead of gold, and the handle says MADE IN INDIA. Still marked YAMADA although the mark is now on the top of the head instead of the side. The pump comes with the straight nozzle, a bent nozzle (CNP-2) is available.
The small grease gun takes a bellows cartridge (80g or 85ml) or it can be hand filled. Yamada includes these written instructions.
Yamada also provides this diagram for manual fill.
Another alternative is the KTC G-100, pictured here with the current Yamada KH-120. (73FJ40).

Nice research! Giving fair tribute to an often ignored, but essential, item!
I just ran part number 09170-00030 through Toyota Parts Zone , shows it's available at $41.58 . If it actually comes with the nozzles (where's Beno hiding ?) it would be a great addition to a tool kit to carry .
Great info , need to get my butt in gear and get going on prototype starting handle parts....

Tool Kit Hold-Downs
Toyota provided several approaches for securing OEM tool kits inside Land Cruisers. It is not uncommon for original rigs to be missing some or all of the bits needed to hold the tool kit, and restorations may not duplicate the OEM approach.
This post reviews OEM tool kit hold-down solutions. The examples are US-spec vehicles, images from Mud, eBay, and other internet sites; photo credits are in parenthesis. Dates are from the electronic parts catalog.
Canvas Straps
Early Land Cruisers (through 9/75) used a pair of canvas straps with plated hardware as the hold-down. These attach under the drivers seat, using 4 rectangular spaced, bolt holes.
Original straps shown with replicas.
(CRamsower)
The straps with D-rings attach to the inner holes, as shown in the following photo.
(CRamsower)
Retainer Band - Under Seat
The canvas straps were replaced with a large retainer band starting 9/75. The band is held with 2 brackets, and a third bracket is used to latch the band using a metal hook. The metal pieces were originally plated. The brackets attach under the drivers seat, using 3 triangular spaced, bolt holes.
This is the original orientation of the retainer band brackets and hook.
(pngunme)
The latch bracket was oriented so the vertical edge faces out.
(LandCruiserNation)
Starting 7/78 the metal hook and latch approach was replaced by a hooked bracket, allowing the retainer band to be directly attached.
(LandCruiserNation)
Retainer Band - Fender Well
Starting 1/79, the tool kit was relocated to the top of the rear fender well on the passenger side.
(LandCruiserNation)
Tool kit hold-down pieces from the parts catalog.
Parts Availability
The canvas straps, retainer band hold down brackets, and the latch bracket are no longer available from Toyota.
Brackets and straps attach with M6 bolts.
Toyota lists 2 part number for the retainer band; both show as discontinued on most Toyota parts sites.
The hook by itself appears to be available as part number 58796-20012 - Hook, Jack Clamp,

Toyota Tire Pressure Gauge
Toyota included a tire pressure gauge in some vehicle (not Land Cruiser) tool kits. The parts catalog identifies 09186-00010 GAGE, TIRE. This gauge is marked TOYOTA TEQ MOTOR near the bottom, with MADE IN JAPAN below.
The indicator rod is calibrated in kg/cm2 (kilogram-force per square centimeter) on both sides. One side has unit marks in black. The 1 - 4.2 range is approximately equivalent to 14 - 60 psi.
The other side, marked in red, at 1, 1.5, 1.8 and 3.2, approximately equivalent to 14, 21, 26, and 46 psi.
There is a later version of the tire gauge marked TOYOTA MOTOR, with the indicator calibrated in Kilopascals.
Based on review of parts catalogs and other information, the tire gauge was generally limited to Toyota JDM cars, trucks and utility vehicles up through 1996. The 09186-00010 part number is associated with two North American vehicles, the 2001-08 Lexus SC430 and 2010-2012 Lexus LFA. Although the tire gauge shows as discontinued on Toyota parts sites, it is priced on LexusPartsNow.
The tire gauge was also part of the tool kit for the Toyota 2000GT.
Located in the left pocket, next to the hub nut wrench.
A more robust tire gauge, 09186-00020, may be from a Toyopet RK truck (1954-60) tool kit.

fantastic resource ... I managed to pickup on eBay today one of those 90s Toyota pickup toolkit/jack hold-down rings you note in post 107 to get the metal hook for my replacement hold-down strap ... never would have known it was an option ...
Winnie, I used the same one, VERY close to the original..........

TOYOTA TOUCH UP PAINT
Toyota provided touch up paint with Land Cruisers (through 1987) and other vehicles. A new FJ40 owner would find a small paint can, with its distinctive red/white checkerboard design, in the glove box.
Although the overall design of the cans stayed the same, there are variations in details. Most cans from the FJ40 era are marked TOYOTA MOTOR CO., LTD. on the front, changing sometime in 1982 to TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION.
Early Cans
Early cans, like the one below, include the manufactures name (Kansai Paint) below the blue box. The brand of paint (Selva) is listed inside the blue box. A small TEQ logo appears following “Touch Up” on the front of the can.
One or two Toyota paint codes may be stamped in black inside the blue box, see examples below.
These cans are small, approximately 77mm high and 77mm diameter, with a volume of 350ml. The top center of the can has a circular indentation (15mm) containing the paint sample.
Another example of an early can. This was manufactured by Nippon Paint and the brand is Pylac 3000.
Later Cans
These cans are significantly smaller, approximately 59mm high and 55mm diameter, with a volume of 140ml. A few minor design changes are evident on later cans. The back of the can no longer includes the manufacturer's name, paint brand, and the two blue lines inside the box. The TEQ logo is larger and has been relocated lower on the side of the can.
Paint code T-1749 is for Gleam Blue, used from 1971-73.
(HoffLarr)
This can is stamped with two paint codes. For all examples I've found, 4-digit codes are preceded by T-, while the 3-digit codes are not. Codes 307 and T-1744 reference Uran Red, used in 1971-72.
Compared with the earlier cans.
Still Later
This version of the can, marked TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION, started in 1982.
Early FJ Cruisers in Australia included 1 of these cans of touch up paint (body color) in the glove box. By 2013 Toyota had discontinued this practice.
When and How Many?
Vendors of vintage and replica touch up paint cans remark that Toyota included 2 cans of touch up paint (body color and roof color) with Land Cruisers, and may indicate a 1963-88 time frame.
My limited research suggests:
How to verify the 1963 start? “Four Wheeler” magazine had a comprehensive Land Cruiser review in its May 1962 issue. While the reviewer commented on “the long list of goodies that are included as standard equipment” and although the review pictured or discussed the tool roll, tools, locks, and trouble lamp, there was no mention of touch up paint. So apparently not before 1963.
I have not been able to locate all that many photos of these cans, and even fewer that show the paint code. Of those, the earliest paint code was from 1969.
My own experience was that a newly purchased 1977 FJ40 included one can of touch up paint, the body color. This seems to be confirmed by this 1975 sales photo from treerootCO.
Owner's Manual
While the 1972 Land Cruiser Owner's Manual includes no reference to touch-up paint, page 47 of the 1976 Land Cruiser Owner's Manual does mention touch up paint in the “appearance care” section:

- If 2 cans were initially provided, by 1975 this changed to 1 can instead.

While the 1972 Land Cruiser Owner's Manual includes no reference to touch-up paint, page 47 of the 1976 Land Cruiser Owner's Manual does mention touch up paint in the “appearance care” section:
The touch-up paint which came with your Toyota may be used to cover small chips or scratches.
Apply the paint soon after the damage occurs or rust may set in. To do a good job, use a small artist's brush and stir the paint well. Make sure the area is clean and dry. The “trick” to doing this job so that it's hardly noticeable is this: Apply the paint only to the area where paint is missing! Apply the smallest possible amount-don't paint on the surface around the scratch or chip.
Similar instructions were included in the 2011 FJ Cruiser Owner's Manual, page 351 of the "Maintenance and care" section:
Touch-up paint (if equipped)
Touch-up paint may be used to cover small chips or scratches.
Apply the paint soon after the damage occurs or corrosion may set in. To apply the touch-up paint so it is hardly noticeable the trick is to apply it only to the bare spots. Apply only the smallest amount possible and do not paint the surface around the scratch or chip.
