Ryan that is still way better than 110. Might buy land first. I have a friend that is looking outside Billings. Tom

Haha that is perfect. Gives you a goal to catch something that big to mount to the top of your landcruiser @rkymtnflyfisher
I spent Monday and Tuesday stripping most everything off of my firewall and dash in advance of separating it from the remains of the rest of the tub. But I'm a little stumped as to removing some of the the pull switches, like the headlight, hazard, fan and wiper switches. I was tempted to try and figure it out but that often leads to breaking something. The FSM doesn't seem to cover it, so can anyone give me a hint?
Thanks

There's a small flathead screw in the
Edit, the small screw is in the bottom of the knob, not the bezel.

Thanks! By bezel do you mean the small round collar behind the pull knob? They seem to have 2 very small holes in them. If that's it, I'm going to have to break my really really tiny screwdrivers and buy some really strong glasses at the drugstore. Do the knobs simply pull off?

Yes.
The screw is on the side of the knob.
you can use those holes to loosen or tighten the bezel using small needle nose.

Sorry, the small screw is in the bottom of the knob, not the bezel, the bezel just tightens the switch to the dash.
Thanks again, I just remembered that I have a brand new fog light switch, so I rummaged that up in my piles and what you're saying is completely clear now.
Not sure if I’ve had ‘vapor-lock’ or the old girl is sporting a bad attitude and just don’t feel like cranking back up easily but I slid this on to see if it helps.....

Pulled the transmission to do some work while the cylinder head is off at the machine shop. Ugh. Should have just pulled the engine and transmission together. sTUpid. But I did find a “ friend” on the tranny.

I wonder if they will trade me rigs?

Smuggled it out of Colombia
My original plan today was to install the newly rebuilt carburetor by Mark's Off Road. I ended up finding a small crack and intake manifold and decided to remove all intake and exhaust components. Time to start ordering a bunch of gaskets. Also, hope I remember where all the vacuum lines belong!
Today I took a moment to clean up my garage. While doing that, I ran across a bunch of Landcruiser parts and so I decided to make some wall art. Craft time!
I was already going to throw away the temporary wood piece I fabricated a couple years ago for the tailgate opening with the top off, but I thought it would be the perfect background for my wall art. I even let my daughter pull off the tape in the "LAND CRUISER" lettering which came out just ok, but it was just for wall art so I figured it's ok. So here it is.
I had also purchased this poster from Cruiser Corps along with some new door latches and leaf spring bearings. Bought an inexpensive poster frame from Wally World and voila!
So here's my little Toyota Corner I'm starting to form with my wall art. Next I want to get a Toyota themed clock to hang in the garage to remind me how many hours I'm spendingworking enjoying with the FJ40.

Found it at the Rivers Edge West in Bozeman yesterday, looks like they are selling quite a few of them, I had to ask for an XL from the stock in the back. There were only 2 out on the display.
I had a friend restore two really old axes that belonged to my grandfather.
I added a couple of holders to keep them inside my 40 and one in my 55

Decided to figure out where that pesky oil leak was coming from in the back. Rear oil galley Welch plug? Yup leaking from there. Rear main seal? Yup leaking there too. Oil pan gasket? You got it. And the grand finale...the damn camshaft plug. Notice anything weird about it?
Here’s a closer look. And yes that’s a wideband O2 sensor on the exhaust manifold.
Damn thing was installed backwards
. That’s a first for me. Looking forward to all the other Easter Eggs the PO left me to find. Soooo....hows everyone else’s day going?
