    My First 40

    By My77FJ

    Hey everyone! I wanted to share some pictures of my new project, a 1977 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 with 68,000 miles on the odometer. I’m located in Montana and recently picked this one up in California. From what I can tell, it has minimal rust for its age and appears to be a pretty complete, mostly original truck with OEM parts and no aftermarket modifications that I’ve noticed. I’m new to restoring these, so I’m learning as I go. One thing I’m currently dealing with is a mouse infestation... Read more

    727 Question

    By Roadhunter

    I pulled my transmission for the engine removal and rebuild and noticed something. When I drained the pan there was quite a bit of sludge/butter on the magnetic drain plug. I have attached a few pictures and it seems like a lot of material. Also when I pulled the convertor I kind of shook it from side to side and looking down the shaft I could see the gears moving a little and seemed loose. I don't know anything about convertors or transmissions for that matter. I haven't been able to take... Read more

    "Forsaken 40" ~ 1st & Last Frame-off Build

    By Drake2

    Well the time has come to start the build thread that I have been prepping for over 3 years now. After years of reading, researching, and tons of questions, I was able to lay the plan out. This provided me with a good idea of what parts I would need, and after buying up most of the parts I could lay my hands on in the 3 surrounding states, I have acquired the majority of what I will need thus far. I have had plenty of 40's over the last 20+ years but they have always been minimal builds... Read more

    Side markers

    By ajarofclay

    Hope this isn't too dumb of a question but... Doing a check on all my bulbs and it appeared none of my side markers worked. For those that aren't familiar with me or haven't seen me state it before, I don't know D*ck about electrical. I changed the bulbs and they do appear to work now. One popped for some unknown reason but I replaced it and it's good now. BUT, SHOULD THEY FLASH WITH THE TURN SIGNALS because mine don't. I would think they should but being that they are only five years from... Read more

    1973 Dodge Dart Sport

    By ScottofKSU

    I am another Chevy guy who found their way to some awesome Mopar cars. First, my wife's dream car was a new Challenger. She thought she wanted an SXT AWD, but I had her drive a Scat Pack/Widebody first. After that, none of the other models on the lot would suffice. So, we brought home a 2021 Challenger Scat Pack Widebody the day after Thanksgiving in 2022. Then in 2023 my dad passed away and I inherited his rust free 2001 2500 Cummins. Then my second oldest son needed a car after the 1996... Read more

    1998 JDM Land Cruiser Build

    By Sean81

    I've had my RHD 100 in the US for almost a year now and I thought I'd share some of my experiences: Having a right hand drive isn't bad, but I wouldn't really recommend it unless you get something "worth it", like something clean and low mileage or a diesel. I installed a GPS speedo as I don't like doing math while I drive. Drive-thrus aren't a big deal, I just lean over. Almost all the mechanical parts are interchangeable on my 2UZ-FE cruiser, so that is nice. I get most of my parts from... Read more

    My #4 crossmember has cancer

    By BonS

    I saw what "appeared" to be "some" rust on my rear crossmember today. I began digging into the rust to see the extent and it isn't pretty. The passenger side of the crossmember looks great, actually. The driver's side not so much. The picture shows what I can see from the outside after I picked away everything that I could. I'm thinking that I have two or more remedies. I can seek a frame shop and have them cut away everything that's too badly rusted and then weld on new hot rolled steel as... Read more

    Has replacing the DPF fixed regens issues long term for anyone?

    By jejb

    Like so many 22+ CTD owners, my truck was great until it got in the low to mid 20K miles range. The DPF would regen, of course, but almost always at the 20-23 hour mark. Since then, it's pretty much one after the other, 4 hours on the last one, and the gauge went from 0 to 1/8 almost immediately after the regen. I pretty much never use the truck except for towing. Wife and I have been discussing getting rid of it and going gas, which I don't want to do as I live in hilly country and go to... Read more

    Vibration when turning right + gas pedal ... thoughts.

    By blackohio

    So I get a vibration which feels like a binding outer CV, except I have replaced both CV's with moderate angle CVJ axles. (oem toyota CV's) noise is present before and after. Now, it doesnt do it when turning left either coasting or giving it gas, and it seemingly only does it when turning rights and giving it gas. Turning right and coasting yields no real evident issue. I've looked over anything I can think of and now im wondering one of two things. Steering shaft yoke or front... Read more

    Popping a firewall hole for wiring

    By JDC

    Here is a set of photos showing where I entered the firewall from the engine side to put the Passport cabling through, or for any wiring for that matter. I also checked the drivers side, but for my needs the passanger side seemed easiest/cleanest for placement of the Passport ECU near the bottom of the glovebox. As you look at the closeup photo it looks like the wires enter the firewall in the photo. Actually where you see the cable enter is an 'outside'/engine side metal facing plate... Read more

    By ScottofKSU

    Hello Everybody! I have been a lurker here for several months after our search for my middle boy's (19) car identified a Duster/Dart Sport as what he wanted. I searched Marketplace nationwide for several months until we found an awesome, nearly rust free example in Oklahoma City. Last weekend we purchased the car, drove it 500 miles home, and now are beginning a rolling restoration. I started a thread in the restoration thread if you are interested! I am an Organizational Psychologist and... Read more
