New subscriber here. Was looking for an in-depth video of someone reviving an fj40 but not modifying the design. I really appreciate your approach, very smart processes, and a clean work space. Thank you for the motivation
Jordan- you remind me of my younger self-not afraid to tackle anything, and have the ability to figure things out. I did learn my limits in college when I tore into my 1964 Falcon’s transmission to replace gaskets. I removed one bolt too many and the tranny collapsed on itself. The Ford dealer charged me the exorbitant sum of $35.00 to put it back together. I decided then to avoid transmissions. All else has been fair game! Enjoy your videos.
Had a FJ40 new 1969 my only aggg was fuel mileage but 1974 I got flooded under water for a week , so at the time I had a good Massey Ferguson 1150 from same flood rear end was full of muddy water but motor was all but dry no water in pistons so 146hp and a 5 speed out of a hj45 and out preformed any Toyota of the day and over drive fixed fuel usage like 30 mpg empty highway speeds . Still great to see the old ridge getting redone 😊
Hi! I started with Diesel Creek, and still watch them every week and then found you. I also did quite a few things I'm rather proud of, including building a house and working on my Volvos. I think I spent more time under them than in them. I used to take a vise and extra ujoints with me as I had to replace them on the road when I heard the rattle. You won't know this but I'll give every one of your videos a like.
14:30 starter restoration 🤫🤣 I really enjoy your fj40 vids. I wish you put out more videos but hey I love your channel and seeing a young man with your tenacity and ingenuity doing stuff. Looking forward to your future videos. This was a great video in my opinion. Thank you.👍
Always entertaining Jordan...and I'll watch whatever/whenever you can/choose to video/drone. Just be safe( you know I'm a flip flop wearer too ) and keep on keepin' on!
Nice job. You really could use a “Glass Bead blasting cabinet” to clean up those parts. I once blasted every part that would fit in the cabinet for a C-Farmall tractor restoration. Makes the parts look like new. You might want to clamp the leg of that vise and tighten the bolts too. 😊
That would be nice. Space is a little bit of an issue at the moment. I think the vise just needs a stronger workbench to mount to. Thanks for watching!
Always add gasket sealant to both sides of a cork gasket. Spread and squeeze the glue into both sides with your finger and thumb. This prevents it from expanding or drying out and splitting. Old timer trick that has never failed me
Probably more I formative than entertaining content for us diy-ers but I’d love to learn your cleaning process cause the starter and distributed turned out great! Maybe a instructive and focused video on how u tackle the beautification of old funky parts
Not sure if you're big into boats, but would love to see you maybe fix up engines in boats. My dad use to love his boats every summer before he passed away. He always took extra good care of them.
Nice work. I’m just completing the mechanical restoration of my 1980 FJ40. Not to nit pick, but you should stop calling your engine parts “Asian”, like the people from Asia, the OE-quality aftermarket parts manufacturer is “Aisin” pronounced like A-SIN, even though they were made in Japan by Asian’s lol.

Somehow when I put that number of holes in a steel plate, I end up with at least one that's off...congrats. Love that skid plate on the oil pan.
Thanks 👍

Don't worry there will be more.

I am subscribed and I like each video. I don't think you have created a video that I didn't like. Just do what Is best for you and your family.
I am recording what I would be doing anyway. It is just nice sometimes to not worry about video and get some work done. I'm glad you enjoy the videos.
The of the best Toyota FJ40 1971 👍😍

Ignore that comment! Just got to 17:45 when you precisely fulfill my request…. Remind me to watch the full video before leaving comments!

Sorry not a big boat person.
Are you and the family in a good place?
Yes. It will be explained in the next video.

Thanks I just didn’t know how it was pronounced.
Believe me when I tell you; that 4 peace oil pan gasket is the most frustrating gasket to ever deal with…..🤣🤣🤣 and yes, you use RTV in the corners…
