Forgive me in advance if I'm posting this in the wrong place...this is my first post here. Just looking for some general info in regards to replacing the highlighted area with a patch kit (existing panel is very rusted out on both sides). Does something like this even exist? Any advice would be appreciated.

I've done some forum searching but have not come across any writeups of factory rear air conditioning from a 1999-2002 being retrofitted into a 1998. Any tried it before or know how involved it would be? I know it would be replacing the headliner, adding vents and cooling lines...I'm wondering if I hypothetically found a 1999 or 2000 being parted out, how "plug and play" of a swap would be if I could get everything off of a donor. I'm not sure if the factory harnesses are the same on... Read more

Frame, almost no rust, little bit of surface rust on the rear leaf springs. Rides really good Bad/Needs work: Confirmed the... Read more

Let’s see them. I’ve started my 40 build and although I’m far from The point of needing a rear bumpers and other rear side accessories. I want to fabricate my own front and rear bumpers. I’m looking for inspiration. Do I want a factory center step? bumperets? What to do for a hitch? So show off your rears. And while your at it if you have a nice conservative looking front bumper that would look good without a winch throw those in too! Edit: I’ll add my end build will be a hardtop with... Read more

Appears to be a good amount of rust as expected. Green everywhere except in the cab. What other issues are obvious?

Any experience here with bypassing the portion of the cooling circuit within the main radiator and relying solely on a larger outboard cooler?

I never get out of the 40 forum, so this is a new experience for me. I’ve wanted a 60 series for awhile and my wife saw this 87 posted on Facebook yesterday with a bad head gasket (posted as an 84). She messaged him for me and I hooked up the trailer. Couple hours later and some difficult pushing and we had it loaded on my flatbed. Was told it was bought less than a year ago with a bad head gasket. I don’t trust anyone I don’t know so in my mind, at worst I need a new engine (no offense... Read more

As I'm pulling parts off my parts truck and making lists of things to possibly replace along the way I come to the Glow Plug Relays. I haven't heard anyone mention yet but I'm fairly new to Toyota diesels. I know on my old Mercedes diesels you would do the relay every time you did the glow plugs. They were terribly unreliable. What's the general consensus on the 1HDT GPRs? Rarely need to be replaced? Do them as long as I'm putting a parts order in? There are two that I can see... Read more

Hey yall, new to Spokane moving in from Austin. Just wanted to introduce myself and see if anyone has any recommendations for a Toyota/cruiser mechanic. We’re bringing my daily (triple locked 100 with almost 300k miles) and my survivor 1976 FJ40. Adam

I made some tailgate bumpers and some one asked for tiny bumpers on facebook. So I got the handle from @Lucky1386 These are made out of flexible tpu. I also made the gasket for the handle mount so you can swap those out too If you want pink you can request it. 60 Series Landcruiser Shop online for wellness products that enhance your Forrest Bathing experience and connect with nature. solvefunction.com

I finally have a FJ25. My buddy @rockcod found this on FB market place a few days ago and sent it to me. Well even with everything going on getting ready for Bonneville I couldn't pass the chance. So we made a deal over the phone and picked it up this morning. 1959 FJ25 on a 1971 FJ40 frame and drivetrain. There are a few things like welded rear barn doors and a 40 tunnel cover, I was so stoked to see the original fuel tank and gas cap. Its going to be a fun semi resto build... Read more

Have an intermittent problem but we all know intermittent never gets better over time. Most of the time you turn the key and the rig fires up fine. Very occasionally, I’ll turn the key and it will start to crank but cut out. Lately, on occasion, I turn the key and nothing happens. In all scenarios, I jiggle the lock cylinder and get it to start. The lock cylinder itself is relatively new as I had it replaced by Matt when my key started coming out even it I didn’t press the release button. In... Read more

Hello from the Denver area. I've been reading here for a little while prior to picking up a 1 owner 2005 Land Cruiser with just under 220k on the clock; lots of great info here. I picked this truck up for a few purposes - something that can handle some of the areas I hunt or shoot in, a better vehicle for time spent in the mountains, an option for my wife during winter conditions, and maybe another hobby (or 2 I guess; maintaining the vehicle and hitting some trails, but I need another...

I posted in a thread in the 40 section, but getting little traction. Is there another option besides the Sanderson block hugger headers that work in a FJ40? WOD sells some raw ones with a v-band collector but I have been quoted $350 to have them coated. I do not want $900 headers. I looked at there stock flange coated headers and they are in the $600 range. Any other options? What is everyone using these days? Makes the old 350 rams horn manifolds look pretty good right now. lol!

I am looking to tune my 1HD-T, Curious if it is hard to get the android pin back in once removed. I have read that you need to remove the cruise control portion on the pump, but my truck does not have cruise control.

Hey guys, figured id finally sign up after spending some time looking through the 60 series threads on here. Always been a fan of the old cruisers and looks like theres a lot of good info to dig through. Probably wont have much to add for awhile, mostly just here to read and learn a thing or two. Anyways, glad to be here.

Long time member with a 1998 LX470 100 series i bought in 2012 with 175k on it. Its now sitting at 392k with a 3" lift and 33s, but I am needing a better vehicle to tow behind the RV. I have always wanted an FJ40, and luckily i was able to find a pretty cool one in Colorado and had it delivered to me in Texas yesterday. 1966 model, runs and drives - I am the 4th owner, with the first two being the original owner and his son and apparently it sat for a very long time. 3rd...

The onboard OEM inverter has one very disappointing feature in that it drops down to 100W when you put the truck in drive which means that you can no longer power most refrigerators. This is a cheap and easy fix for that that I installed today. Super easy. It’s just clipping in a harness on the e=inverter in the center console... Read more

Greetings. I haven't posted on a forum in quite some time, but am finding social media and FB groups to not be ideal for keeping track of chronological work & build details. So what better place to post up this "rebuild" than here? My husband and I picked up this 1992 FJ80 in April of this year. It wasn't a planned purchase, but kind of fell into our laps and we couldn't say "no". Funny story: my coworker was showing me Ring footage of her teenage son busting his rear on the ice when a car... Read more

Hey all, I'm new to the forum but not new to Toyota trucks. I've always been a gear head and currently have a 3rd Gen TRD Supercharged 4Runner and Honda S2000. I've always loved the look of the FJ60 but didn't want to buy something thats been modded or repaired incorrectly so I began the search for something I could restore myself. After reaching out to countless folks on here and on FB marketplace (and seeing them go pending/sold in a day or two), I finally found one that looked decent... Read more

Put new battery in the spare fob since it was dead when I received it and it doesn’t work with my LX. The red light flashes on the fob but won’t even start it when I push the engine start button with it. Is there a way to reprogram it without going to dealer?

Here are some pictures when we first bought it home a few years back. F155 and 3 speed gearbox, the body is very tidy for rust and had replacement fibreglass guards, half doors and bonnet but also came with the originals including full doors. Has brand new 33x12.5x15 mud tyres and front and rear diff locks. Springs look new with superior extended shackles. Front diff has a TJM locker and rear is ARB, the rear diff pinion bearing is flogged out so will need a rebuild. My wife nick named the... Read more
