Spoke with mate about 60 series axle and he hasn't got any and they are getting hard to find but he said if you have fine spline shafts then series 3 Hilux hubs, vented discs and callipers will fit straight on. Series 2 is the same but the discs aren't vented. If the shafts aren't fine spline...

Hi Alex and welcome... What is the thread title on i8mud for the UZJ40? I haven't seen that one and would like to... That's a major project you are planning, interesting though. Regards, Rodger

I have had a look in my photo archive and have attached a few... mainly to remind Ros of that trip... We were at 2600 metres but Ros needed the extra height for the photo!

Oh Wow! I hadn't made the connection. We have very fond memories of that trip and remember Ros, who seemed quite taken with our 40 at the time. The truck has undergone several changes since that trip in 2013: Getting the truck registered in Spain, sorting the suspension, getting a better...

That sounds very odd... Have you compared the compressed length of the springs?

Leave it with me and I'll see what I can find. It would undoubtedly involve a trip to the UK, is that ok?

I have 60 series axles on my 40 but it is somewhat modified but you are right the 60 series axle is 70mm wider but otherwise the parts are interchangeable. Some have fitted Hilux callipers (version 6, I think) but mine are HJ60 but my master cylinder piston diameter is 25.4 as opposed to the...

Also, on this side, there is www.euro4x4parts.com. For parts in Canada, Spectre Offroad - sor.com - do ship to Canada at reasonable cost. I used to use them when I first got my 40 because back then there was virtually nothing in Europe and, on the recent and rare occasions, I have shipped to my...

Electrics are not a strong point for me but I do have a wiring diagram for 72-73 FJ40. I will scan this for you if you don't have one, just let me know. Rear springs: my truck is modified but they all sag on the back end but someone like www.sor.com (based in LA) would have standard springs so...

Hi Jesper, For the fuel filter housing try www.megastore4x4.pt as they have some parts for the H engine and they may have good second hand parts too. It is not one of the Gazoo Racing - re-manufactured parts for Toyota 40 series - but it may still be available through Toyota. It looks very...

Apparently the setting is 130 ft lbs according to the Toyota manual but I've only got that from a search on I8mud forum and several on there have taken them to 130 but 100 sounds safe. Did you Locktite them?

Sorry I haven't found the ft lbs for a B series but 130 sounds far too high - on the F series it is 47 ft lbs and on a 2H it is 87ft lbs. I will keep looking and let you know if and when I find it. Regards, Rodger
