The Downey kit I bought years ago hit right over a hole in the frame rail. I found a piece of angle iron that would span the hole and fabricated a new frame side mount that I could bolt to the frame with two bolts on each side of the hole in the...

Maybe next time you might want to lead that you're dealing with a South American vehicle.

It's possible that the fusible link has blown and that is why there is no current.

If you don't want to spend the money for what is currently available, take the dimension information from this thread and see what it would cost to build in whatever material you want. Post #11 and below is what you'll need.

For the first 40 years of ownership mine lived outside in SoCal. It wasn't until I purchased my place in KY that it benefitted from garage space.

Based on the push bar tool carrier it is an FJ-40.

I've had good results with California Car Covers. I've never used them for my FJ-40 but have for my Corvette's. They have several options from outdoor to indoor.

I'm not mad. You stated that your local Toyota dealer could not find that part number listed in their system, which should be a clue. I simply stated that my search results only resulted in Chinese sources and nothing from Japan or Toyota...

According to the last picture, the roll pin for the drive gear sticks out. It's possible it is the cause of your problem. Try seating it flush or slightly below flush with the surface of the drive gear and try inserting it.

Click on this link which is a Google search and feel free to direct me to any result that is from Japan or Toyota. If you can't believe my search results than rely on the site experts which have given you their input.

The manufacture part number listed for the eBay part is "Manufacturer Part Number 4504069040X". Use Google or whatever search engine you like and the only responses that I got came back to Chinese suppliers. Since nothing came back as being...

What does the gap look like between the tube and side panel?

You asked it the kit is fake, search for the part number and you will find they are a Chinese part only and not a Toyota part.

This may sound a little crazy, but is the tip of the distributor lined up with the slot of the oil pump? If they do not align, the distributor will not drop in and seat like it should. The distributor clamp bolts to the block so the distributor...

Second picture looks like there is some sort of plate that has been added, covering the original frame.

if what I suspect is true, adding disc to your rig will be fairly easy looks like your rig is 79+ any large knuckle disc axle will work and only need a few parts, knuckles, spindles and hubs, everything else from your existing axle will work with...

Webers are sensitive. I had the 32/36 but went up to the 38/38. I think my reasoning was I needed more air flow since all my wheeling is aver 4,000 feet. Have to be jetted correctly for your altitude. I also have DUI ignition. 74 stock 1.5F I...

Your oil is new, your filter is new, so you're getting good flow. Being at the high line is not bad. As the oil warms or begins to thin and the filter gets dirtier, the pressure will drop. I'd say you have nothing to worry about. You'd have...

The only problems I see is that the metal was only painted with primer. Primers are generally pores which allow water to penetrate them. There needs to be a top coat that is not pores and will prevent water from penetrating to prevent rust...

What you need to decide is what type of abuse/driving you intend to do with your rig. That will have a lot to do with what tire and size will fit the need best. Also, decide what look you want for your rig. With all the images out there post...

Assuming you are talking about the rear axle shaft, smooth out any burrs and install a new bearing race.

Here is a thread on how to rebuild your heater. There are minor variations based on year but for the most part the internals are nearly the same.

Not a vader light, this is what they look like.

It's a dash light.
