    Anyone in Flagstaff?

    By Dianna

    Hey guys, long story short, one of my best friends went out to Flagstaff to take care of her dad after a stroke and he just passed. He had a 1997 4R that my friend wants to drive cross country back to Ohio. She has been driving it around town the past month and said dash lights are on and there is a smell of oil. Are there any reputable mechanics near Flag that you would recommend? If you take a car to be looked over at my dealership here in Ohio, it goes in with the quick oil change kids... Read more

    1KD project 'no turning back'

    By Tsvigo

    This is the time that I did get the engine home and start to take off all the accessories. Later on when I see the carbon build up, I decided to take a step further which is “over-haul” the engine. Just for a peace of mind in future. it is just the beginning step, before entering the problem zone.

    Using AI to work on old iron!

    By Festina Lente

    I'm a tech guy who wishes he worked on old cars all day. But I don't, so it's just a hobby and I'm pretty mediocre. Good with carbs and cylinder heads … that's about as far as it goes. So when I picked up a SBC-swapped FJ-60 for my wife that needed some love, I put AI to work. I use it all day and it can get pretty complicated. But it doesn't need to be! My set-up saved my bacon when the transfer case linkage got stuck in low. So I thought I'd share in case anyone else out there who doesn't... Read more

    Dreaded value question…

    By FJBen

    I’ve been out of the 40 game for awhile but I’ve kept loose tabs on the 40 world. Spotted this one a few years ago but finally left a note. The owner actually called me back and gave me some info, he’s owned since the late 90s. However some of his knowledge he is misinformed on I’m pretty sure. So it’s a 1979. Which should mean 3.73s, 2F, 4spd. Gas tank in rear No ac and he said Carter carb. That’s either non original or he’s just mistaken as he said I... Read more

    Rough Ride After OME Lift Kit

    By PradoVX

    I added an OME 40mm lift kit, medium duty, and was amazed at the improvement of handling and how it smooths out larger bumps, both on and off road. Body roll in corners was also noticably reduced. It does feel rather harsh on roads with a lot of small bumps/pot holes with only one or two people in the car. If there are four or five, the ride smooths right out and is fantastic. As it is a daily driver, I put a couple bags of cement in the back wrapped in plastic bags, (96 kg, 211 lbs)... Read more

    Delta VS Rear Bumper Install and Review

    By offoradjunkie

    Hey all, This thread will be an install and review of the @Delta VS rear bumper for the 100 Series. Firstly, I could not be happier with the quality and look of this bumper. The attention to detail, level of craftsmanship, and thought put into this bumper are unmatched. The communication between myself and Delta was great. They were responsive, answered all of my questions, and gave me confidence that I could reach out to them if there were ever any issues and that they would be taken... Read more

    Radio/CD player mounting bolts

    By petegangies

    Hi all, I can't seem to locate these on parts diagrams, but there are 4 bolts that have a hex head with a JIS pattern in them that hold the radio/cd player to the chassis. There are other bolts on the diagrams but they're for holding the brackets to the cd player itself. I don't have a clear image of one of mine to post, but they appear gold-ish in colour and I'm missing 2 of the 4 of them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I wonder if 90149-50032 would be a suitable replacement...EPC... Read more

    1HD-FT loud injection pump, goes quiet when pumping the hand primer

    By JWEN

    Hey all, looking for some input on a noisy pump. I've read through a bunch of threads (linked below) and a few are close, but none quite match and none of them seem to have been resolved. Truck's been recently imported from Japan, I don't have history on anything. I do not recall it making this noise when I picked it up from the port with Japanese diesel still in the tank, but honestly I can't recall if it started after a fresh fill up. Truck: - 1997 JDM HDJ81, 1HD-FT, auto, with EGR and... Read more

    Passenger front brake line keeps breaking

    By JBernie55

    Bought the 2003 Land Cruiser and first day I had it the front brake line on passenger side snapped off at the frame where the metal line goes to the suspension.

Today it broke again but at the other end where it connects to the suspension. Any ideas why it keeps snapping off? It’s 2 1/2 inch lift and 33s.its breaking at the flare... Read more

    "Chunk+12ht" version 2.0

    By dogfishlake

    Hey all, After a very short time without a 60, I am breaking back in with a new project truck and great engine combo. I used to own a Freeborn Red 1984 60 named Patina Louise. She is a beauty but I have always wanted a white 60 and my buddy @Ocho77 wanted a red 60. He is now the owner of Louise and I'm glad a friend ended up with her, even with a bit of sellers remorse on my part. I knew another 60 would pop into my world and it did, but kind if in a backward manner. The chain of... Read more
