Rally next summer?Quite a few 40's right here now!
She’s a bueat ClarkI’ve been taking trips to Montana to get my sisters 1972 FJ40 running and driving. It had been sitting in a garage in California for decades. Took it on its maiden voyage today after many hours of working on it.

Put the hard top back on and took the family for a couple beers. Well, not the kids, I don’t need anyone saying I’m a bad parent for letting them have a couple beers. They just split 1. View attachment 3451141

I love the color of your land cruiser!Cleaned up and tapped the bumper holes and got the bumperette’s mounted. Also, changed out some hardware that for some reason were painted blue…

Thanks. This old 40 means a lot to me. My dad brought it home in '77. Working on the refresh is my fav way to spend my limited free time. Slow going!That is some excellent work you've done there.
I've got an aluminium tank in mine under all the front seats, gives me about 120L.No Pictures, but little things:
-> I found some debris in the prefilter for the diesel-pump (tiny glas-cup with a filter inside, used on the mercedes-engines)
I removed and cleaned it and found out, that there A LOT of debris, I guess from corrosion in the tank.
I changed the prefilter and the two normal fuel filters, both already a little bit dark. And I flushed the fuel tank. The old diesel was pretty dark/dirty.
Later I also found, that the tank only holds about 47Liters of diesel -> for a 4Liter-Engine
I most probably will change the tank to a plastic-Version with 55Liters, that's the maximum for the original position possible.
Absolutely a treasure! Congratulations.Quite a few 40's right here now!
