    Megadoomer Build

    By Megadoomer

    I wanted to start this build cuz I have a a lot of questions and I dont want to hijack other peoples threads. I put a rundown in the registry but here goes. 1970 Chevyota FJ55. It has a 70's 350 SBC with camel hump heads. Not sure on the insides but it has a good amount of pull. Its matted to a 700R4 with B&M shifter. (Keep in mind this was built by a deceased PO so I get to discover something I didn't know every time I get under it.) In the rear I have a Dana 44 bolt of an unknown year and... Read more

    Nuts and Bolts

    By WaAkFJ

    I have been working the on the Cruiser and decided I needed to order some new nuts and bolts. I am working on the list I found on Mud and I have an excel sheet I am working on comparing different prices for different online and local hardware stores. I decided I really would like a working list of bolt sizes to make life a little easier, especially since I will be working on several of my other cruisers. I haven't been on CCOT since Nov. or so and noticed they added this: Bolt Kits ... Read more

    Residential outside 2 post lift?

    By rahksi

    I’m wanting to pour a concrete slab (properly rated), and put in a 2 post lift (properly installed), on my property. Due to my land and where I want it, it would not be closed in, but I plan on a 12’ open carport placed over. This would be a standalone slab and would later add a driveway to it with a closed in shop for tools and roller doors on each side to drive through. Looking for non industrial examples and ideas/insight from who have done similar. Also looking for the sizes people have... Read more

    Resurrection of a pair of 78s

    By tweek99

    I figured I'd best start a build thread for a pair 78 fj40s. The blue one is my cousin's and it just so happens to be the very first landcruiser i had any experience with. The other is a 78 Frankenstein build. I'll start off with the blue 78. My cousin picked this one up when he was 14, which was about 1990 or 1991. It had bolts for fuses but the body was solid other than the rear bed which he replaced with diamond plate. He had sandblasted the undercarriage and undercoated it too... Read more

    1FZF carburetor gasket question

    By t00manyuserz

    Hi all, Replacing the heat insulator on the bottom of my 1FZF carb. Ordered the insulator and it came with two metal gaskets - top and bottom. My current one had RTV on them which was a right nightmare to remove, but somehow just metal gaskets also feels a little suspicious (so I can understand why the original work was done with RTV, but it wasn’t Toyota work I think). FSM says just put as is. Should I do as it says or should I make a gasket from some gasket material and sandwich the... Read more

    12v winch on a 24v system...ideas?

    By MFulk75

    I've recently gotten the HJ60 that I've always wanted, so I'm now having to figure out all the 24v ins and outs of upgrades. I had gotten a great deal on a Warn 10s winch for a previous build that never happened, but now I've got this truck to build. I've looked into getting the parts to covert the 10s to 24v, but that ends up being around $800 in parts apparently. The easiest solution I can find is to run a 12v battery in the cargo area and from what I've read, a Optima Yellow Top... Read more

    I took the leap.

    By RixGX470

    I'd been looking for a tow vehicle to tow my VW Beetle. When I researched what was in my price range, the 2003-2009 GX470 was high on the list. The original plan was to pick one up in Oct. or Nov. However, my daily is spending an extended stay at the mechanic so it moved my time frame up. On Saturday, I picked up this '07. White with a gray interior. 168k OME lift. Method wheels. I'm in So Cal

    1FZ FE Engine Torque plate

    By hazard

    Anyone used torque plates on bore or hone jobs for their engine? Did you use aluminum or steel plate and what are your thoughts? Did you take multiple before and after bore measurements, and if so, how did it turn out? I am doing a diagnostic teardown and blueprint job. 1FZ engine building and blueprinting One thing I am measuring is bores for size and out of round, on teardown. I believe a torque plate needs to be used to get accurate measurements, especially if you are to use one... Read more

    Seat swap database

    By Seth S

    I just scanned through the FAQ and didn't see a post concerning seat swaps. I ran a search just for "Seats" on the forum just in the FJ60 section and got 10 pages of results. I started to link to the more informative threads. I see a ton of threads that ask about a certain seat but never got a response or if they were used the thread never showed any of the final results.

    Backer Plate Eliminator

    By OlyTacoma173

    Disassembled the steering knuckle and disk brake on my 1979 front axle. The backer plate/dust shields are pretty nasty and I was considering getting them blasted and powder coated. However, I see “backer plate eliminators” for sale. Would I be better off getting a set of those, rather than trying to salvage the original backer plates? I assume there’s a good reason the eliminators are an option…..

    Rob and Betsy's bonzi trips.

    By matzell

    We decided to run out to Yellowstone for the fun of it. With some last minute planning, ie one week out! I was able to score two nights of camping at Fishing Bridge campground right on Yellowstone lake. We headed out in Betsy's 5th gen 4Runner after adding some additional gear. I added the roof rack off my 80 and my Rock Pals 12v fridge and Jackery so i would run with the truck off. The Gazelle tent set up quick and had plenty of room We packed adventure meals, loafs of bread, some... Read more

    Howdy fellas. Learning about this platform as i go.

    1978 US Market FJ40 Factory Restoration

    By dmaddox

    Was never a fan of mustard....always went for the green/olive's, but I saw a BJ42 in mustard after all these years decided I liked it. We all change our minds on things, right? So, I took some time to pool some cash together (budget was 15k) looking for as original and as close to a 12/77 Mustard cruiser I could find, I found one right here on mud that fit the bill. The purchase experience was horrible, and I later found out that it was a giant mass of cover-ups and dishonesty... Read more

    LC250 to GX550 OEM big brake upgrade

    By turbo8

    Since I do a lot of mountain driving and the LC250 lacks engine braking, I wanted to get a little bigger rotor with more mass. I was hoping Toyota was going to have off the shelf, bolt-on parts like they have in the past and after doing my research, they do. The GX550 has the brakes I wanted. All that is required are the rotors and calipers, they bolt on and require no other modifications. I have 18" TRD Pro wheels from the Tundra. 17" wheels will be a close fit, but if the wheels fit a... Read more
