    New to FJ40 Scene

    By FloridaLife

    Hello everyone. I've been driving a 1999 4Runner and a 2004 Sienna for many years (4Runner is daily driver with 1/4 Million miles on it and still going strong). But I have ZERO experience with the FJ40, and I've decided to take the leap and get into the game. I can't afford one of those nice shiny high dollar ones for sale online, so I am purchasing a 1971 FJ40 for $5k and going to try to fix it up and get it going. Top is not cracked, no glass is cracked or broken, floors are solid, body... Read more

    Newbie and his "restored" basket case 1972 FJ45

    By Kevo1288

    So I have always loved the FJ40s but mostly the FJ45, not sure why, but every time I saw one on the internet I just loved it, no matter the condition, color, didn't matter, just super RAD. Anyways, I bought this sight unseen Thursday and picked it up Friday before someone else snatched it up, paid good money for it, its all there, its not rotted, but man alive, what some shops will call restored ... I would call, garbage lol. Anyways its an Ecuadorian migrant and I am excited go through... Read more

    Interest in +2010 J7X LHD HVAC/Dash

    By Meshal

    With all those 70 series takeoff bodies lying around the states, I want to know if there is interest in the full dash, HVAC, harness, LHD, 12V, steering column, etc., off the late models. If we have enough interest “over 10” I may prep terms and last of the parts and limitations.

    An Accidental Frame Off..................

    By rkymtnflyfisher

    I'm not going to try to reinvent the wheel with this thread or offer anything that has not already been done, covered, thought of or anything else. Mission is simple here, to document my build as I go, for me it is a log on what I do for future reference. Started 4 years ago, I rebuilt a 2F from an 83 FJ60 that I salvaged, everything seemed great, had minor issues here and there, until I started having problems cooling the engine. Eventually I found that the radiator was clogged from... Read more

    LX570 - Door Sound Proofing

    By willstroo

    So after a lot of thought, I decided to get the doors of my 16 LX570 sound proofed professionally. The business is a specialist in NSW Australia, and they perform full sound deadening solutions, at large costs, for those who deem it worthwhile. Here is a photo of a new Range Rover fresh from the dealer getting the full treatment, dry ice removal of any original sound deadening, then three layers or deadening. It’s a horrendous looking job, but having experienced just the doors, I can... Read more

    77 FJ40 headlight

    By My77FJ

    I have a 77 Toyota FJ40 that has been sitting for over 30 years. It’s a California-spec FJ40, and I’m currently working through the electrical system. I’ve managed to get just about everything working except for a couple of issues with the headlights. The driver-side turn signal will blink once and then stop, and the headlights only seem to work on high beams. I have thoroughly inspected all the wiring to the best of my knowledge. Has anyone experienced something similar or have suggestions... Read more

    Project Boomerang

    By badsamaritan

    While browsing Craigslist this past Friday I saw a rig listed 15mi from my house that looked a lot like a rig I had regrettably sold about 10 years ago. After a phone call to the seller, I confirmed it was mine and we made the deal this weekend. Everything I did to the truck previously from purchase to LS swap, to selling it can be found here: Stepping up to a Vortec (LM7) - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/stepping-up-to-a-vortec-lm7.611625/ Which brings us to today.

    What did you do with your 60 this weekend?

    By MrMoMo

    So I've been reading through this thread over in the 80 section and it's nice to see all the cool things that people have done to, and with their 80's. I did a search, but didn't find one in the 60 section, so I thought I would start one. If one already exists, I appologize! So, what did you do with your 60 this weekend? Me? -Fixed the Tail light and fuel gauge wiring issues. -greased the front driveshaft -topped up the PS, coolant, brake and clutch reservoirs -found... Read more

    New GX460 owner

    By GXNewb

    Hello all. I'm a new GX460 owner. Picked up this 2019 earlier in the year as a project. I've done a few things to it so far. It has a Dobinson's lift, Method bead grip wheels, Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT tires, Garmin power switch, KC lights, Prinsu pro rack, a Roam 83L box, and I put a DC to DC alternator charger in it as well. Installing a Victory 4X4 evo bumper this weekend. I've always owned Toyota trucks and sold a Tundra I had since 2012 and figured I'd try the Lexus for a... Read more

    The birth of the LandCrusher.

    By flagstaff

    I've been working on this a while and thinking about it for years before. There are many great contributors here on MUD and I am interested in sharing my experience and hopefully adding to the information for others to draw on. First, there is a lot of great content and I would not have the courage to try this if I didn't already have read builds and post from so many here. Thanks to @Major Tom , @Dirty Koala , @tucken72 and so many others. Thanks y'all, even if I... Read more

    for sale / want to buy (local)

    By roma042987

    Thought this might be a good way to find or sell parts within the local crowd. I'm looking for a 40 series disc brake front axle and some factory 1976+ steel wheels. I have one and want to avoid buying new simply because the wheels will be blasted any way and powder coated gray. (They come black from the dealer) So if you have one or more please let me know. 256-736-3409

    1fzfe removal question

    By Nirajorel

    Hi guys, Sorry if this question have been asked. Kind of desperate at this point. Long story short, I’m in the process of removing the 1fz out of my 80. At the point now where I’m trying to lift the engine to remove the engine mounts in order for me to tilt the motor down to get access to the transmission bolts. With that said, do I need to loosen up anything else? Like transmission mount bolts or ???.

    Completed Imports and Testimonials

    By wngrog

    I’m going to list out with photos of all of the vehicles we’ve brought in to date. I’ll try to link the build thread, if any for each one. If you would like to know how much each of these costs, most of my build threads I include that, but if you don’t see it, feel free to PM me. Pricing varies greatly on how easy the vehicle is to get, mileage, condition, rarity etc.

    Crackling/Popping Noise at Low Speeds (2–10 MPH), Forward and Reverse

    By tfarchio

    Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone can help me track down a noise I've been hearing with my 2016 LC. I've been hearing a crackling/popping sound at low speeds, generally between about 2 and 10 mph. It's somewhat difficult to describe, but it sounds like a series of small cracks or pops rather than a single clunk. It almost sounds like I'm driving over leaves or a crackling fireplace. It seems to be coming from somewhere toward the rear of the vehicle, although I haven't been able to pinpoint... Read more

    1972 Rat Rod 40

    By highsierracrawler

    Picked up this frame and body in February of 2024 because the hood patina caught my eye and because it was dirt cheap. I’ve built/worked on a handful of FJ40’s over the years but never my own. I just wanted something I could cruise around town with maybe an occasional Rubicon trip. I also needed a project that was relatively affordable that could keep me busy while going through a tough divorce. Leftover, used and free, parts were the only way I could come close to putting something like... Read more

    "Scout" the 1977 FJ40

    By 77CruiserDog

    One thing lead to another and I ended up finding a partially restored (running and driving) 1977 FJ40 just a few hours away in Portland. The guy wanted a bit too much but I agreed to drive down and take a look at it. As soon as he opened the garage, I knew I had to go home with it. The PO and I had talked about the history he knew and what had been done to it, everything checked out after a 15 minute inspection so I took it for a drive. It ran... Read more
