Lot Of 3 Fj40 Land Cruisers With Many Extra Parts on 2040-cars

 Lot of 3 FJ40 Land Cruisers with many extra parts:

1972 FJ40 restored in 1998 / 1999. Last used in 2001 when it would not pass PA inspection.  See list of issues below.  Running when stored, have not attempted to get engine running as I do not have the time / inclination to go through the process of getting the engine ready to run.  Clear title.

Known issues [lettered paragraphs, from PA State Inspection in 2001] and analysis [in 2009]:

A.   Horn does not sound – Checked out – relay / connections?

·         Check connection of wire under hood

·         Fuse #2 (2^nd from top)

B.   Left Rear Parking Lamp

C.   Left Rear Turn Signal

Left rear parking lamp & turn signal do not work together properly

·         Check light bulb at rear of car

·         Check Flasher

·         Here’s the paragraph from Chilton repair manual.  It indicates some places to look.
Flashers and Relays
The headlight control relay (1973-88 only) is located next to the fuse block under the left side of the instrument panel.
The turn signal flasher is installed on the center portion of the back side of the instrument panel.  The hazard warning flasher is wired into the turn signal flasher, and so has no flasher unit of its own.
The turn signal flasher and hazard warning flasher are separate units on the 1970-72 trucks.  They are located on the inner fender of the engine compartment, next to the fuse block.

D.   High Beam Indicator
Indicator does not work on the instrument panel.  High Beams do work on the car

·         Replace light bulb inside the instrument panel

E.   W/S Washer

Liquid doesn't work?

·         The tube falls out from underneath the hood

·         Easy to fix temporarily, a very small pipe clamp would be needed to keep it there permanently.

F.    Parking Break does not hold – Cable on exhaust / control??  Drum Loose???

·         The parking brakes become loose fairly easily.  I don’t believe that it’s the cable that’s the problem. 

G.   Power Brake Booster disconnected form Engine Vacuum

The Vacuum box is right inside the hood on the driver side.  The Vacuum tube is plugged with a nail.  We’ve never had this connected properly.

·         No “good” diagrams in the repair manuals.
Pg 048 of Spector is an ok diagram.

·         Look at other Cars for help?

H.   Coolant Leak – Lower hose??

·         Check tightness of pipe clamp

·         Check if hose is bad

I.      Speedo cable on exhaust

Has been melted in several places. 

·         Move speedo cable, use zip-ties, large pipe clamp?

J.    Rear differential Pinion Loose

I’m not really sure what needs to be done to fix this.

K.   Transfer case leaks oil

I vaguely remember it leaking from the parking brake.

·         Check for leaks within the parking brake?

L.    Front Steering knuckle leaks oil – Low fluid level

M.   LF Motor Mount broken

Most of the parts besides the actual Pad should be fine (they’re all bolts and such)

·         Purchase from Spector?
Part # 040-5A
Nov 2000 $20

N.   Front brake hose to frame Twisted / Cracked / Clip issing

Damaged?

·         Purchase from Spector?
Part # 86 - ?
Look on cruiser to see exactly what is broken

O.   Right Rear (Front – Upper) wheel cylinder piston Rusted Fast

We have a complete set of brake cylinders

P.   Both Rear Brakedrums oversized – Exceed maximum diameter

·         Maximum brake drum diameter
11.5 in (292 mm)

·         Spector
Part # 088 – 8
$35-$70 (Used, Aftermarket, OEM)

·         Replace with used drums from parts car.

Q.   Small Rust Hold in frame by Right Rear Spring Hanger (Front

·         Spot Weld?

·         Take to a welding shop
They can to do this real easy where our welding may not be the best

R.   Frame rusty at rear

·         Weld a plate over the length of it
Get a piece of metal from a welding place?  We may have difficulty cutting a large piece of metal.

·         Take to a welding shop
They can do this real easy where our welding may not be the best

Additional issue:

v  Driver’s side window does not crank up / down

1978 FJ40 Purchased “as is” January 2002.  Bought for engine / 4 speed transmission / transfer case & as possible project / parts car.  Previous owner stated engine ran, but I have never seen it running.  I have not tried to get it running.  Nothing done to car except sorting parts for photos.  Previous owner took apart.  Look at the photos (use link below) to see state of vehicle.  Clear title.  If viewed as a project vehicle, note there is rust and rot in most of the normal places.  See photos (use link below).

It’s been 5 years since I retired and it’s clear that I will not find the time to work on any of these cars.  Moving these vehicles to a new owner will clear up space for other projects / current interests. 

I have tried to be detailed in documenting the contents of the sale.  If you have any questions, contact me before you bid.  Please no backing out if you see a little rust that you didn't expect.   The 1972 FJ40 can be ready for the road with not a lot of effort.  The other vehicles are serious project cars or use for parts.

Buyer is responsible for shipping:  that includes any pick up / shipping fees.  Any in transit damage to vehicles / parts will be the responsibility of the buyer.  Most everything will fit inside the cruisers, however buyer should arrange for the glass windows to be protected / secured before transport.  Following will not fit inside cruisers:  2F engine / transmission, 2 front fenders, muffler, 2 tires, hard roof.  I will help get vehicles & parts out of the garage and to the road for loading.  You should plan on providing 2 people for the loading process.

I do require a non-refundable 10% deposit within 24 hours of the end of the auction [Pay Pal].  Complete payment within 10 days and before any loading [Pay pal or cash]. 

US buyers only, US currency only.
