    Key buzzer ---- I might have to kill myself

    The resource section may have a manual or electrical diagram to help you. I believe there is a small switch in the steering column activated by your key when inserted. Try wiggling the key.

    4.88 or 5.29

    If you can find a four speed bell housing and a four speed transmission you can get gears to mate your three speed transfer case. I ran that setup on 33's with the stock 4:10 and did fine. check out the gear ratio calculator (above) its great.

    Different size spare tyre

    My recommendation would be, put he mismatched tires on the front , remove the front driveline, Lock the center differential (center diff lock switch required). I tried to limp home once, it didn't take long before before the front diff oil got hot and started puking out the breather. Years later...

    Sparkplug tube seals in valve cover will do it.

    The day started out well and went down hill from there, the FJ40 is now stuck in reverse

    I swapped a transmission one time and it did not have one of the detent balls under the top cover to keep things in check. I got really good at popping the floor shifter out with two screw drivers, re aligning and re installing before the stoplight would turn green.

    Before there was an internet.

    Yes Sir! I was looking for that article online a while back, could only find a blurry version though. I remember doing that to my 71 back then. I'm in Northern California so I sent my front housing to Danny for the knuckle rotation and other work needed on it. Thanks for the read.

    Fj40 Asian carb primary and secondary nozzle question

    Here is some info I found online @ toyota partsdeal.com. There's more info there on jet sizes (most are discontinued) but maybe you can measure your jets to see what u have. I've rebuilt several carbs and have not had any issues when complete. I suggest you lay everything out so you know where...

    Custom (Open Source) Overhead Console Design

    That mount is nice. but what would I do with that nice 3/4" hole I drilled into my roof? lol the mount would also most likely pay for itself as I usually forget to lower the antenna once a year at somewhere around 75$ for the mast.
