I have never had an issue with the stock parking brake on any of the three FJ40's I have owned. Pretty sure the one on my truck is OEM and havent had to do anything in the 6 years I have owned it
Thanks. Those are beautiful rigs
Seems like you are starting your kids off right in cruisers
I bought both my daughters cruisers when they were 16. Now that they are 31 and 29 they drive built GX470 and a built 100 series. Even during the teenage years they enjoyed wheeling with Dad and...
This is the setup I use and I do also use the tent for showering. The seat packs up into the backback and the tent packs up as well and goes together as shown in the pic below. One year I put it into a waterproof gear bag and strapped it to the roof rack...
I use the PETT Toilet system and have had it for over 10 years with no issue. Easy to use and compacts up small even the tent for easy storage in the truck. With a trasharoo, the waste is on the outside. It doesnt smell based on the chemicals (powders) they use. You never have to worry about...

1973 FJ40
here are the specs on my 1973 Land Cruiser.
383 New build (Gen 1 rebuilt block new pistons crank, etc) with new Air Flow Research Al Heads from Colorado Speed and Chassis.
Chevrolet Performance Small Block Serpentine Belt Drive Systems- replaced 5 separate belts which was a pain when...
Many of you probably know me from Expo Portal or IH8MUD (Toyota site) as Romer. I have been around a while which comes with being old (late 50's) :) Once my daughters grew up my toy budget increased significantly. They both also drive Land Cruisers and you may often see a caravan of 3 built...
Not sure if you are still looking
Here is probably the best section to look for used 80's FJ80 | FZJ80 | LX450 | HDJ81
You can also search on the users to see if they have a build thread and how they have taken care of them. Also look for one that came stock with Front and rear lockers
I am...
Thanks for posting. I just bought one of these. This is the best review I have seen for this tent. I am still glad I bought it after watching. I do keep mine in the garage and off the truck in the winter so I hopefully wont have the finish issue you do
Mine is the twin and I have had it for 6 years with no issues. I also put them in both daughters trucks and they have had no issues. I have them in both my 200 series Land Cruiser and my Fj40
I am not doubting that there have been ones with issues, just mine have worked fine mounted in the...
Ritchie, I don't discount your experience, please don't discount mine. I have been in the offroad community a long time as well and would tell you Slee, Cruiser Outfitters and others would disagree with you.
I am not saying you didnt have a bad one, but I know a lot of people who have them and...
I have had one for years and never had an issue
I did a review on expo a few years back

I have a Mr Buddy I use in my RTT when it gets cold. I warm up the tent and then get situated in my sleeping bag and shut it off. In the AM I fire it up before I get out of the bag. It doesnt have a real low setting and it will get real warm if you run it all night and the fuel lasts about 6...
Thanks for the video, watched it a few times. Have you looked at adding a power socket (usb) inside? Thinking drilling and bonding and Anderson plug on the bottom would be the way to go
Also curious on how comfy the "comfy" mattress is. The Eezi-awn is thicker, but then again taller and...
