In the Shop     ... Jody's notes!
Here's that info I have been stuffing into my Palm Pilot over the last few years. It's not too much, but it's little obscure stuff that I knew I would want to know sometime in the future and not be able to get to the LCML archives to get it. All of this information came from the "Land Cruiser Mailing List". Much of it pertains to things I have done to my rig, a '72 FJ40 but heck someone may need it.....
