    Fj45 2f to 2h conversion

    By Mkent305

    The old 2F has finally decided to give up, and I knew its time was probably getting close anyway. A few months ago I picked up an 82 HJ60 with the 2H and 4-speed specifically for this reason, so I’m looking at swapping the complete engine and gearbox into my FJ45. My main questions are around the mounting and wiring. Will the HJ60 gearbox/crossmember bolt straight into the FJ45 chassis, or are the chassis mounting points and spacing different? I’ve read a few different things about... Read more

    FZJ80 Trip Counter Rebuilds

    By Rory Breaker

    Hi All, This is my first posting, am wondering if anybody knows whether there is anyone out there who can rebuild, refurbish or otherwise repair a faulty trip counter for a Land Cruiser 80 series. Looks like the cogs are slipping. on the counter wheels. It counts up to 4kms and then goes no further. I have been looking for a new replacement speedometer assy (83110-60291, it appears that there are none to be found out there, at least no new ones and used ones are really difficult to find. I...

    Bearing grinding sound

    By Green2000LX

    On a 98 I recently got (rust belt) I started getting this worn gritty bearing sound that’s fairly consistent. (Can be heard with window down under 10 mph) Truck has 216,000 all dust shields look pretty crusty especially the alternator. I’m planning on replacing the alternator, belt, idler and tensioner pulley. I’m gonna get a reading on the alternator when the truck is running later and recharge the A/C on the whim that it might be low on refrigerant? Probably not but worth a shot. Any... Read more

    New to me 84.

    By flagstaff

    I just picked up an '48 FJ60. 2F engine with a 4 speed manual. Very excited. I've had a few 80s, a 100, and a 200 but never a 60. I have a couple questions. I haven't had much luck with the search and was hope a few of you fine folk might chime in with some advice. 1. I'm not sure what kind of headlights these are. I have noticed that when a blinker is used, a ring on the headlight lights up with the blinker. (I also think the blinker is fast so perhaps the added LED is... Read more

    79fj40 on 80 chassis!

    By plfj40

    Finally starting writing about my project that started 5 years ago with rusted 40 tub and a clean frame fj80 that I picked up from fellow club members shop in PA. after owning the 40 for 15 years and beating it Offroad it was finally time to put some time into it and show it some needed attention. Years back I picked up a mint tub here in CT with the intention of swapping it onto existing 40 frame but after going over the 40 and looking at the condition of the frame I decided to get a...

    Deciding on Suspension Refresh

    By sp73

    I’m down in Charlottesville with a stock 87 FJ60. Next year’s project is a suspension refresh. I’ve looked heavily into Cruiser Outfitter’s OEM kit as well as Terrain Tamer’s parabolic kit. Use is 100% road, and I don’t plan on rock crawling ever. My tires are new 31s. I mostly drive around town with some scenic drives, road trips thrown in. Really looking for input on whether lifting makes any sense, pros and cons etc.

    4BT Cummins swap questions

    By ThatOldSixtie

    Hey mud, Couple of questions about the 4bt. What does it take to convert an industrial 4bt to road use? Is the front timing cover the same as a 6bt? Who makes a good rebuild kit? What us needed to reach 150hp with one of these? Looking for a stage 1 setup because I want to put one in a fat 80 on 35's. Im sure I'll have more questions so I will keep this thread on going. Thanks fellow obsessive's!

    Reviving My 1975 FJ40

    By ranchdawg

    It’s been 21 years since my 06/75 FJ40 has seen the road. Time to wake it up. I don’t even have a photo of it put together except for my avatar photo, so I can’t even show you what it looked like when it was running. Backstory…I bought my rig sometime in 2001 for $5000 in Folsom CA. Pretty rust free and a hardtop. Rear fenders were cut and about one inch of sheet metal cut off the bottom on both sides. It had some homemade steps made of thick angle iron and steel diamond plate. Front... Read more

    ‘69 Time Capsule

    By 69JortsGuy

    Hi All, Thought you’d appreciate what I picked up yesterday. Previous owners father ran into transfer case issues in the 80s (presumably between 85 and 86 as that was the last registration). He parked it in his garage in Las Vegas… and there it sat. Until yesterday. I drove ~14 hours round trip for the rescue mission. I was told the last time it was started was around 1990. Will be going through everything, but start with a good deep clean. Essentially zero body rust, rear tub shows minimal... Read more

    How much do you push your 1HD-FTE ?

    By David*BJ70

    Since 2019, I’ve owned a 1999 HDJ100 with 420,000 km on the odometer, equipped with the A442F transmission. It’s running very well. No oil consumption, no blow-by, in short, everything you could hope for from a 1HD-FTE engine. My HDJ100 is my expedition vehicle, and it is loaded to a total weight of approximately 3,500 kg (7,700 lbs) (a bit too much, yes, I know). My average fuel consumption during overland trips is between 13 and 13.5 L/100 km (18.1 - 17.4 US MPG). I drive up to 15,000 km... Read more

    WeGoNow.

    By SHREG

    My wife and I @razzoo have been full time travelers since August. Prior to that we spent our winters in Texas. We decided to sell most of our stuff, except the land cruiser and head off into the unknown. My job allows me geographical independence so all we need is close proximity to an airport and good cell service. We changed our residence to South Dakota and headed South. We are blessed with many friends in the Cruiser community and look to grow that family. 2021 plan, so... Read more

    1965 LPB - Been A Long Time Coming

    By Unoman

    Ever since I joined MUD in 2008, I’ve always wanted a 45. I set a goal of owning a 45 by the time I turned 45. Missed my goal by 3 months but I’ll still count it! I kind of wrote off ever owning one but this popped up a few weeks ago and it matches my 72 FJ40. Sometimes you have to throw caution to the wind and go for it…and that is what I did! I took delivery on Saturday of this old girl. VIN: FJ45520410 Very solid rig that has lived its life in the Southwest. Body is very straight and... Read more

    Runaway acceleration on a carburated 1FZ-F

    By t00manyuserz

    So as work slows down for a bit, I am catching up with all the things that need doing with the car... this time it's runaway acceleration. I thought for the longest time it was the throttle cable, but I've replaced it, and it does not seem to be the culprit. Note - the carburator, throttle cable and even the damn accelerator pedal are all brand new. This is a GCC spec 1FZ-F. Symptoms (all of this is "sometimes", and all of it requires applying the accelerator at least once): - when under... Read more

    1980 FJ45 in Dubai - Saved From the Sands

    By maxofarabia

    I finally have my 1980 Fj45 pickup imported from Saudi Arabia, so the slow process of getting it where I want it to be is going to begin. I am by no means mechanically inclined, and unfortunately don't have the time or the space to do the restoration myself so I have found a garage in Dubai that does good work, and am trusting that with the right guidance they will be able to get it looking like it did/or slightly better than when it first came off the line. To start out with, a brief... Read more

    To Pull or Not To Pull Engine?

    By txtuffluck

    2006 LC and I have a set of DT headers and XForce exhaust to install. I'm also going to be do WP/TB, pulleys, hoses, engine mounts, dif bushings, heater T's, PS lines. Also Nomad valve body, outer tie-rods and steering rack bellows, cat-back exhaust, sway bar end links, rear upper/lower control arms. I'm sure I'm forgetting some stuff too. Would pulling the engine to do all of this be worth it?

    RTH: Rear Axle JIS Screws Mushroomed

    By StaticTorque

    I am currently pulling the RH side rear axle out to reseal everything. After taking the lock screws out of the lock ring I thought the tips looked a little different than the other side. These ones have “gone flat” or “mushroomed” the ends. Are these going to be okay to reuse? Or do I need to get new ones? I know the point is to help align everything. But I figured it being mushroomed out might make it hard. The second and third photo is after pulling the axle out, and noticed the screws... Read more

    FJ40 front door lower window channel install

    By Curtice

    Any tips? I bought these channels from City Racer and seem like great quality. But almost impossible to get into the track. I was able to force them in the removable track by putting it in a vice, using a ton of lube and all my muscle power with some needle nose pushing in the channel: But for the ones that need to be installed to the permanent inner door, I cannot get the leverage to slide it in. It’s got a bunch of lube, but just stuck: I’ve been at it for a... Read more

    After years of combing over MUD Classifieds, craigslist, marketplace, and whatever else... I finally commited to buying an FJ62.

    Front end suspension noise on 3rd gen Sequoia, Dobinsons MRR lift

    By ax0n

    2026 Sequoia w/ Dobinsons MRR lifted about 2.25" above stock I have a noise that sounds like a metal component unloading or un-binding. I can occasionally hear it in the cab with windows up but don't feel it in the steering wheel. It happens when I turn the wheels close to full lock, even when sitting still - but not all the time. Especially frequent when I am maneuvering out of a driveway or parking lot - and more likely if the wheels are turned near full lock. It also happens when I... Read more

    Seeking help: Sunroof sticking in tilted-up position.

    By Super77

    Building on this thread , which describes a similar issue but no clear resolution. My sunroof has worked perfectly up to today. I exercise it at least once a month: open/close/tilt, and blow debris out of the nooks and crannies, clear the drains annually. Never lubed it, though. But no issues. Today I noticed the motor was really straining to get it open and closed, and ultimately, I could not get it to tilt back down and closed. I removed the glass panel. When I hit the tilt-down...
