Wow, looking good. That is going to be a lot of fun when its up and running

Had a similar issues with my mates cars. It might sound stupid but is the Clutch Plate in the right way around? And the other one would be check it compared to the old one. The new clutch plate we installed was 15mm short on the flywheel side I believe which didn't help much. Unfortunately It means ...

Damn that would of been useful a couple of months ago. was Trying to get a wind sreen out of a fj45 wreak for my project but ended up cracking it. I was using my usual trick for getting glass out of running 2 screwdrivers around the edge to flip the rubber around. Works great on the side windows but ...

Yeah agree with putting it as high as possible. I've got mine in my glovebox and I've made sure all the panel joins around it are fill with silicone. I've seen guys that have the ECU in the engine bay putting them in the snap lid box and putting as much silicone as possible around the holes for the ...

Yeah its not in any of my manuals either. It's an 1984. They go in behind the inner oils seal. They have to be installed through the hole for the diff. the short sides easy enough to get back in the long sides a bit more interesting.

We be figured out it's a bush/spacer. Any clue which way it goes up. I've found the other one flooring in the botten of the diff housing as well.

Ex police FJ45 troppy

I've got a late fj40 Passenger seat with no rails if anyones really keen.

Don't do what my mate did and crash into the wall wiping out his car in The Jalopy races before he got to the demo derby.
First race out of 3, on the second lap.

Beautiful truck, I hope mine turns out half as nice.

Just don't scratch the paint taking it offroad

Looked like an Awesome adventure, and for a good cause.

Loved teh last little bit at the end about the government.

I've got a passengers seat out of a 84 FJ40. Mostly in One piece just no seat rail. Not sure the rails would work with 68 any way.

Also we need to see pics of the Truck

Na its an Early FJ45. Its got the same Gearbox mount as your but no engine mounts. And the body mounts are all different. Fortunately they are the only good parts on my original Chassis, it shouldn't be to much of a hassle to swap them over.

Interesting, It must of been about 78 when they changed the Chassis design. My 84 has completely different mounts for everything. Not much help in IDing mine though lol. My original Chassis has cut short and and is pealing apart with Rust, And my new one I've imported from Aussie has the wrong ...

Looking good. A lot better than my new chassis. What year is your truck? I'm trying to figure out a rough idea of how old my replacement chassis is.

Nice I defintly a better base for a Rebuild than what I got. Should be a nice truck when it done.

Thoughs guard look good. Might have to borrow that design if I ever redo mine.

Damn that's a lot nicer than my P.O.S.

Dad (coxsy) posted a pick up of mine in "Show us your Toyota" thread.

I've Just got an 84 45 really jealous your has the factory wellside, would really love one of them but there so hard to find over here. For a tail gate try these guys http://coolfj40.stores.yahoo.net/tafjpi.html I'm pretty sure I've seen hinges on there site. Lots of other good parts there. Shipping ...

I've got a late modal Fj40 wiper sitting around. Is there much difference between them?

Had something similar in my Truck when I got it. Ended up scraping it and putting in the full cage I got from my first truck. I could make on up, but I would find certified welder to weld it up properly. My welds are a bit inconsistent for that sort of thing.

I don't believe they came with a standard roll cage. I know the Soft top trucks had a simple tube frame to support the soft top. I've got the 2 pieces that go over the doors some stored away somewhere.

My Cruiser has a 10mm spacer on each side in the front, but I can't remember what the wheel studs are off.

From what I know the Toyota diesels are pretty built proof provided they have been regularly Serviced. Even so they are getting to the stage where seals and bearing are getting past there used by date. As with any old vehicle you just need to fix any problems when the come up. Parts are easy to get ...

Looks like a fun toy.

Tail light looks like the standard factory one. Not sure on the legality of the doors but I have heard of people removing them completely for a wof then putting them back on afterwards. Can't really help with anything else.

I've got a Holley 2 barrel Rebuild kit sitting around here. Got it for my first FJ40 but never got around to using it.

Let me know if your intreasted.

My dad and I where thinking of heading up there on the 3rd. Should be there around 9.30 if you want to meet us there.

Looking good, I'm a qualified engineer and my rust repairs weren't that pretty. Gets really dis-heartening doing rust repairs you start off there's a little bit to do, and by the end half your trucks on the floor as scrap. Next time I do mine the whole body tubs coming off. If you need a hand or ...
