Re: my 1967 patina project build

Not sure that it would fit, but the 60/70 series land cruiser drag link boot is longer that the 40 series. Might call Kurt at Cruiseroutfitters and see if the boot is available? Heres a picture of the rebuild kit with the boot:

Re: my 1967 patina project build

I did! Saw it mentioned and in the background. Like patrols FJ55s are a labor of love. Everything takes a bit more work than an FJ40…

Re: my 1967 patina project build

This truck is really getting some awesome attention! Just wanted to say how impressed I am with your write up! Absolutely love the detail and pics. Being an Ih8mud FJ55 type, and an aspiring Patrol owner, it really helps having all the detail you present! Thanks!

Re: Pics of Ignition switches, fuse blocks

It's been a bit, but finally remembered to post pics of the modified fuse blocks. There certainly seems to be some variation of fuse blocks over the years. For the harness I had, these are what was installed. I have seen pics of fuse blocks with three and four tabs on the supply side of the fuse blo...

Re: Glass lenses

short answer: Yes. Resin, professionally done. Long answer: There are forum rules for vendors I suppose. so I will figure out what to do there, but read below: More details: I send to a company that does this. I wont be selling them myself. I provide a lens, they mold a replacement and they sell. I ...

Glass lenses

Are these patrol lenses? Asking as I am sending off a set of Toyota Landcruiser FJ45LV NOS lenses to a company to make a mold for reproduction. Might send them along to see on cost of mold making. They are in about 90% condition. a few light scratches/scuffs, and a tiny pit or two. Ever Wing Made in...

Re: Pics of Ignition switches, fuse blocks

River, The one I bought was $50, and was back in mid 2020. The fuse block it had(split in half) was exactly like the on on the black firewall pic. It was what I used to guess on the similar NILES fuse blocks. I can absolutely build a direct replica of what is shown in black firewall pic, and what wa...

Re: Pics of Ignition switches, fuse blocks

A ‘74? Non US then?

It does look a lot like the Niles one I found, even has the crab logo. Just need to move/add tabs... I’ll get to work this weekend.

Re: Pics of Ignition switches, fuse blocks

What do the earlier fuse blocks look like? I love finding obscure stuff, so happy to add to the cause. The harness I bought must have been very late 67 then, as it seemed to have this fuse block with three tabs on right side. These are really pretty easy to modify for >’67 rigs. Thanks for the help!

Re: Pics of Ignition switches, fuse blocks

I hope to figure out a few more things to order from this vendor so I can see about one of these ignition switches. Here is a tiny amount of the connectors and terminals I have started diving into for the FJ40 crowds. I haven't yet dove into the patrol harness I bought, BUT I will happily take recom...
