    Build: Rusty Pumpkin Project 74' FJ40

    By bdawg23

    Long time reader here and recently picked up this 1974 project. I've had a 2000 LC for a few years now. So here is what I know so far about this rig: - SN from frame the frame FJ40 162185 - Engine SN is F 406213 - title says 1974 - I believe the original color is Pollux Orange The story of the truck from what I was told was that it spent most of its life in Texas as a fleet vehicle, then it was sold to an owner in Florida before the seller purchased it. They drove the truck from FL to PA... Read more

    1982 FJ60 - Project Clifford

    By Sperl

    Howdy, everyone! Long time listener, first time caller here. After literal decades of wanting an old Land Cruiser...I have one to call my own. A buddy of mine (and FJ owner himself) found it near him in NC and was kind enough to take a look and gave me the thumbs up. I had it shipped to me in Colorado and it's game on. I'm calling it Clifford. PO was generous with his time and honest/transparent about condition. He bought it desmogged and otherwise modified, and with an array of project... Read more

    What do I have? 40 newb

    By clrussell

    Purchased a 40 out of the classifieds, made a deal a while back and finally was able to pick it up. After blowing the roof off on the highway, stopping to get it, strapping it back down and getting the 160 miles home at 1am I own a 40.. It’s very complete. But I’m a newbie and only know what I’ve read so I’m far from fluent on these things. What I do know is it’s a 1969, 4 speed swap, mini truck non vented discs. Front bench and jump seats were included in the purchase along with a box... Read more

    1972 ‘Mongrel’ FJ40 build retrospective - A quarter century of ownership

    By cruiseroutfit

    This is a long overdue (and winded) build writeup on my 1972 FJ40 aka the Mongrel, a name it picked up during it's build. But first, some relevant back story. And be warned, it's wordy. I’d owned my 1968 FJ40 since 1996, it had served as a fantastic learning opportunity, a reliable steed, and it undoubtedly created a trajectory for my life. However, it still sported drum brakes, manual steering and a Rancho 2.5” suspension that offered little in the way of ride quality or flex. I was 15... Read more

    A better center storage bin organizer

    By Super77

    Sharing a long overdue mod. The lower center console bin is poorly designed on the early 100s, just a deep hole with a cup holder insert on top. I scanned and CAD modeled the space and 3D printed this 2-part stack: There are now 4 layers of storage: the (1) hinged armrest compartment, my (2) removable top tray, nested in the (3) main deeper “bucket” and (4) about 5” of remaining space at the bottom. Also works with the cup holder... Read more

    2UZ Swap info

    By Zjohnsonua

    This is NOT a thread to compare the UZ to the LS or any other platform. Hundreds of those already exist, carry on those discussions elsewhere, please. Many threads exist in Mud asking about what's involved in swapping Toyota's 4.7L V8, the 2UZ-FE, but few of us that have done them chime in to help the decisions for the next guy, and the threads quickly become messy. Let's see about changing that. There are a handful of builds already in here that I'll add for... Read more

    Replace or Refurbish Fuel Injectors

    By togles

    I could use some help on this. I have a bad fuel injector on cylinder 3(misfire). So I am embarking on pulling the throttle body and upper intake today so I can get to and remove the fuel rail. Any recommendations on replacement? OEM Toyota Injectors are over $1200 for all 6 Aftermarket option recommendations? Send them out to be refurbished? Any vendor suggestions? I already have a new fuel filter that I had previously purchased from Toyota, going to put that in while I am doing this... Read more

    Radiator Replacements

    By Carzan

    The OEM radiator finally s*** the bed today, so I need to get a new one. Has anyone used the CSF 2517? As of right now, that is the one I am looking at getting. I have a 93 80 series with the 1FZ.

    22RTE vs. 22RE Parts Differences

    By nab856

    22RTE Exhaust Side The exhaust manifold, turbo, and oil feed/return tubing are apparent differences. Turbo coolant feed barb is located behind the coolant pump (red arrow). Oil feed banjo bolt hole is located behind the engine coolant drain at the rear of the block (yellow arrow). Oil return engine block flange is just above the oil pan (white arrow). The block doesn't have oil squirters. Upper Intake Plenum I read somewhere the cross-sectional area... Read more

A buddy and I drove 11 hours round trip from Sudbury to just past Brantford Ontario to take a look at the truck.

    terminal repair, crimp pins

    By jerryb

    I can't find toyota crimp terminals. They don't sell open ones with a toyota part # it appears. Seems weird to me, only a repair wire is offered at $15 each. Like 82998-12690, for connector part # 90980-12094 I thought I would be able to buy new pins and crimp new wire. Nope. Does anyone know about this, or is there something I'm missing?

    Meet Stanley | 1985 FJ60 | McCall, Idaho

    By McCallywood

    Hey everyone! New member here, and I figured I’d introduce my latest acquisition, Stanley, a red 1985 FJ60. I picked him up a couple of weeks ago from Colorado, and he’s now settling into his new home in McCall, Idaho, where he’ll be spending plenty of time in the mountains and snow. He’s got the original 2F inline-six, four-speed manual, and approximately 202k miles. He was advertised as having undergone a frame-off restoration about 17 years ago and presents pretty well, although I’ve... Read more

    AC Condenser leak?

    By shtbrwn86

    Been trying to troubleshoot an AC issue for a few years now. I replaced a leaking high-pressure line (OEM) back in Sept. 2020 and about 10 months later it was so low on refrigerant that the compressor wouldn't kick on. Had it vacuum tested and recharged and it worked for about 10 months again. Couldn't find any leaks anywhere using the DYE they put in the system, although I didn't pull out the rear evaporator? Evac and recharge again and this time it lasted a few weeks. Went poking around... Read more

    Seized Rear AC line fitting at evaporator

    By tormorten

    My 2013 200 is at the dealer because my AC has leaked down twice until the compressor would not run. They found a leaking O-ring in the fitting where the AC hard lines attach to the rear evaporator just behind the left rear wheel under the body of the vehicle. I live in Minnesota, so the aluminum fitting block with the steel studs that hold it together is unfortunately seized due to salt exposure and galvanic corrosion. The repair for this went from $700 and covered by my lifetime, zero... Read more

    In cabin spare tire carrier.

    By patherfinderjake

    Has anyone used the SOR inside cabin spare tire carrier (255-06) that is said to be for FJ60 & FJ62 in your pig? The distance between the mounting bracket holes of 16 1/4" makes me think it might be doable since 255-05 for the FJ55 has been discontinued. Anyone done it another way? The end plan is to have a bumper fabbed with a swing out for the tire, but in the meantime standing it up would take up significantly less room. TIA for any advice.

    Charcoal Canister - Great Option!

    By Jeeper

    All - After owning my 80 for over 2 years, experiencing higher than normal pressure when removing the gas cap the entire time, I tried many solutions. However, I've been reluctant to replace the charcoal canister due to the cost -- approx $300 (plus or minus), and it's a dealer-only item. Many of us have posted/read info on this thread: https://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-tech/292965-excessive-fuel-tank-pressure.html I tried a junk yard canister from a 1997 80 with absolutely no...

    Tensioner pulley seized

    By kunu

    Afternoon Gents, I’ve had a rhythmic squeal going on for about 1 week now. First noticed it on a couple cold starts 2 weeks ago, it would let out a loud squeal then go away. This week is graduated to a loud rhythmic squeal that goes away when I rev the engine. Come to find out the tensioner pulley is seized and not moving. I took it to my local Toyota dealer (for diagnosis) and they quoted me $600 for 3 hours of labor . Plus parts. I watched one YouTube video and it looks like this might... Read more

    Another forum I am on has a thread like this and I found it extremely helpful in picking tires and lifts. For those who would like to contribute, post your combination of the tire size/brand/type including lift and any modification to fender, running boards, liners or bumpers. If you have bumpers it would also be helpful if you would post where you got them and what brand they are. You must follow the format along with a clear shot of the side of the GX, (and front for...

    By Sherriff

    Hi All. Ive Recently bought an Lx570, 2017. I tow a trailers and i live in Zambia. The norm here for trailer receptacles is large 7 pin round ports. EU style. My issue is all trailer extensions for the lc200 or lx570 online are 7 pin flat pins.
