Holy cow, this video tears at my heart. I had a 1981 FJ40 in the High Desert of California when I was stationed at George AFB in the USAF (in my twenties). I drove that sucker off-road all over the Mojave Desert and never had a problem. Then, I was reassigned to Elmendorf AFB in Anchorage, Alaska. So, I drove it up there. Twelve days on the road, up the "AlCan Highway." Lived there for three years and again, never had an issue with all the snow and such. Drove six miles up a dirt road to my house in the mountains of Eagle River. I've never seen a more beautiful place. Then, I drove back to the east coast of the USA (Rhode Island) to live for thirty five years. It finally rusted out completely. I still miss that thing. I've since had all kinds of vehicles -- sports cars, power trucks, etc. But I think that old, desert tan FJ-40 is my favorite.

Greetings from western Maine, that's a beauty!

Looks like fun! You're doing great, especially since you have to do that by yourself. Keep up the good work!

Thats a good price on that utility cart trailer! Put that segment on a seperate video or short! 28:32-28:44. Do a review on it!

You deserve more subs, your channel is neat! A driving video of your area would be cool! I have a really good windshield mount that I use. A resident where I work watches videos of people driving around in cities and towns and country sides. I think one day he was watching a video of Maine! it had like 150k views!

I love chocolate labs!

Yum!

I think his has a 60 fps refresh rate setting.

The pxels of the right side are grainy and the refresh rate is low, the one on the left looks great! My brother's GoPro is pretty good he uses for his channel Gr8 Finds.

I did the water pump on my '03 chevy, it wasnt too hard once I found out from TH-cam, that the way to get the fan blade bolt off is to use an oversized adjustable wrench and swiftly hit it with a rubber mallet clockwise since its a backwards thread. I also did the fuel pump which is on the top of the tank. The easiest way is to lift the bed giving you access to the pump.

I work in assisted living as a care nurse, God Bless you and your dad and mom! Greetings from Athens, TN

Thank you for this honest review! 🌟📸

Thank you for the info. I'm looking at getting a GoPro and was researching alternatives and I found the CER review that boasted greatly about this camera. Looking at the website to order the camera it made me question the legitimacy of their product. The website was really cheesy and unprofessional. Then I found your video that confirmed my suspicions. Thank you for letting us know. Sorry you ended up with a cheap POS!

When it comes to action cams the only one that I personally will line up against a gopro is the Insta360. The older DJI and Sony cams were good around the era of GoPro 7, but they haven't improved along with the latest generations of GoPro in my opinion.

I just tried this camera today recording on an ATV, the results were terrible. The video was wavy, the colors were off as well as the definition of the trail and woods I was in; and the video was washed out because of the light changing in the foliage. What a piece of junk. You can't play a video from a file in the cam but have to upload it to a computer then play it with a video program, takes added time for editing. Piece of shit.

Never got to go fishing this summer. My brand new Tohatsu 5 HP 4 stroke with less than 20 hours on it would not stay running past idle. Hard starting, would idle but cough, jitter and quit at about 1/4 throttle. Changed the fuel bulb...didn't help could it be the carburetor with such little running time?

Thanks for posting

Interesting enough I have found out that when Toyota split off from Toyoda, the later stayed in business and provided parts for Toyota vehicles.

So far I like these Hankook ATs, the ride is good, not much noise and the FJ40 Land Cruiser sticks to the road on corners. The Wildpeaks seem a little pricey but I saw some good prices for the Rubitecs. The Hankooks have a limited 60,000 mile warranty on the tread so it will hopefully be awhile before I need new tires.

I got Faulken at off road tires for my Zr2 and they perform well!

Maybe soak it with PB blaster for a week and then it might let go. I had that problem with a bolt I was trying to remove when I was trying to lift the bed on my Chevy S-10 to replace the fuel pump. After soaking it with PB blaster the bolt broke loose.

its crazy to me how a guy cant boil water but he can do this. amazing work man

I haven’t used that particular series of Hankook tires, but we ran them at work for a while and I wasn’t displeased. Here lately I’ve been mostly running Falken on my personal and work trucks and couldn’t be happier with them except maybe the price!

Wow! And here in East Tennessee, we have tornado watches for tonight!

Maybe title the video “Fj40 2f engine start after sitting almost 20 years Fj45 project”

Sounds like a fun project. I look forward to seeing it come together.

Mmmm! lol!

Looking forward to seeing the progress!

Great job! Beau brought me here from your comment! You have a good soothing voice!

On my FJ40/45 project truck I'll be using semi-floating rear axles not full floating axles that were used for FJ45s ( because that's what I have in stock and I've never had problems with semi-floating axles). I will however install disc brakes on the rear for good brakeage and to eliminate the possibility of losing a wheel and axle shaft due to rear differential damage.

Since publishing this video I have found many channels on TH-cam that deal with the upgrades that can be made on your Harbor Freight sandblasting canister, Increased size and replacement of valves as well as a different nozzle, to name a few.

Since making this video I have read the controversy regarding an increase of horsepower using a snorkel. Many believe it's just a sales pitch. Installing headers will give a small increase in horsepower as well as a super charger (big bucks). I was wondering, since the cowling I'm using (1977) has the vent for a carburetor cooling fan, if I connected the carb cooling fan to the carb air breather would the increase of CFM give the engine a boost? I have yet to find what the carb cooing fan CFM output is, but it's a thought.
