I finished replacing my leaking front pinion seal, soldered a pinhole leak in my brand new heater core and replaced the stereo...

Found this nice set of seats.
A little Armor all and they are good to go.
I have what looks to be the same seats in my 64 fj40. Came with the truck. Do you know what year those are?
They are from a 75’

Continued working on my tnk wiper motors and am happy to report they both are working perfectly with functional parking!
One is in paint, the other white metal, but should have them both complete very soon. And they both with be sporting my new 3d printed terminal covers which I have tweaked on for hours to get just right.
Now I'm going to print a final set is high res.
Pic shows one of the test piece's.

When a 30 minute job turns into something else. Tailgate is finally hung.
Finally started the re-build! Dad disassembled about 2007...
Started with firewall, dash wiring, instruments, rear heater lines, wiper motor/lines, attached various components in the engine bay, clutch cylinder, brake booster, new battery tray. Had to tap out all screw holes because of paint/body work. Read manuals, wiring diagrams, Mud(!), google, old photos, drank beer, got stoked and encouraged that someday it will be rollin again. Actually got a lot further than anticipated. Much chin stroking and frustration but when pieces like the gauge cluster go in it is an amazing feeling

That reminds me...
My 77 that I acquired last summer (and have not touched yet) Has a bent center cross-member / shock support.
Does anyone make this?

Where did you get them?
The rear end sections came from Manafre
Almost done. Had a short trip around for the winter diesel. Drove her at -20 C (-5 F) without heater was challenging 
Did you, or a previous owner, import your Land Cruiser, or was Toyota originally sold domestically in the USSR?Almost done. Had a short trip around for the winter diesel. Drove her at -20 C (-5 F) without heater was challenging

Spent a few days out in the Olympic Peninsula. The storm knocked the rivers out of shape, ended up doing more scouting than fishing, oh well.
Fresh hood hold downs and upper aprons added.
This one is JDM BJ44 imported from Japan in late 90s. Toyota started to sold Land Cruiser in the USSR beginning from 60-model at the end of 80s.
Officially Toyota never sold FJ40 domestically in the USSR. Maybe some of FJ40 sold on "black market" at that time.
And, in the US, we will probably never see the 70-Series aside from Hollywood? Oops, I did it again.
Sweet ride!
