This type of oil filter fits my v8 4runner. My 95 fzj80 and it also fits the fj40.
Got it on amazon years back. They sell 10 packs.

Yankee Toys representing!!!! Kinda cool for us all. Last fall, the mag reached out for some help with a 60 series they purchased in New England. Lending a cruiserhead a hand has led to having a hand in a mag. And pics and verbiage!!! Pretty cool opportunity that will give back to us all. Def going to do a FG writeup this year, and whatever else we can. Thought I’d share. I even snuck a FG sticker in

Do yourselves a favor and check out josh at vague industries on Hoonigans daily transmissions if you haven’t yet. Awesome guy, awesome story. Local dude, he supported us as a club and held spring meeting at his shop years ago.

How much stuff do you need blasted? I had some stuff done at a local memorial / gravestone company in Greenfield, MA, for cheap a couple of years ago.

Thanks for the referrals Yoda!

Swell - I want to have the frame done so I can seal it. There's no rust, but peeling paint from the PO. I know the best way is to pull the tub, but that's not in the cards financially at the moment. So, this will let me get some good coverage to keep corrosion at bay.

DeWolfe also does fluid film. Hell of a guy.

When are you going to sell it?

 

[swelltimes]

Look at this rig! 1983 Toyota HJ60 Land Cruiser diesel *low miles*

Anybody know this truck / owner? I'm not in the market, but looks sweet.

What do you folks recommend for measuring RPM while tuning the engine? Hoping to dial in my rebuilt carb this weekend.

I've borrowed this from my dad, but it's designed for 4 or 8 cyl engines, so I'm not sure that it's going to be of any use.

Finally, finally, **finally** got my 40 back on the road, after fighting with the carb, vac issues, and esoteric CA truck desmog issues. So stoked!
