There's not much, but here's what I could find in the owners manual and the Emission Control CA Supplement. I looked in the Chassis and Body FSM under body-electrical, but didn't find anything. Hope this helps.

@Best Slope Erik Sweet rig, love that green.

Low Range Off Road. Longfield birfield 27 spline.

The first time each summer my fan kicks on always produces a grin. Nice rig!

The local guy I go to said he leases his older car smog check machine (76-99?) from the state, because they're too expensive to buy. I have a '99 100 series I love, that requires the older testing machine as well. Out of state registration has crossed my mind too.

And Congrats on being an original owner! 👍🏻

As a 20+ year owner of a 76 here in Cali, I feel your pain. I've had a tech fail the rig because the engine didn't stall when he routed manifold vacuum to the EGR. Modern cars will stall, our 40's won't. The air intake to the carb will sound hollow, per the FSM for emissions. I've had a tech...

So sad. Marlin rebuilt the carb for my '76 FJ40 last year while I was getting the engine rebuilt. I was impressed with him as a quality person before I even got my rig back and running. His kindness, time, attention to detail and PATIENCE with me on the phone while he explained what he was...

@fyton2v Here's some info from the Emissions FSM for my 76. My rig doesn't stall when manifold vacuum is connected to the egr at idle. The air intake just changes sound at the carb (with the air cleaner removed) per the FSM. I've had smog stations connect manifold vacuum to the egr valve, and...

Wow, that looks familiar. Years later, mine is still unpainted!

Not difficult at all. I left the fender on and removed/installed the box from underneath. I have headers, so I'm not sure of the clearance for a stock exhaust manifold.

Installed a rebuilt steering box, first time in 20+ years of ownership. The old one was loose, out of adjustments and leaking. I repainted the box because it was packed in a plastic bag with wet paint and was a mess. I went with primer gray with a clear coat over it. While I had it apart, I...

I've used a U-haul dolly to tow my 40 200 miles, but with my UZJ100. The car hauler wasn't available in time and I'm happy it wasn't. The extra weight and increased stopping distance would have sucked. I had to greatly increase my stopping distance as it was in freeway traffic even with the tow...

Sweet! Your info will be added to the "Cool Things" list. Thank you. @highsierracrawler, sorry for the highjack.

Thanks, I wasn't clear in my post. I want to keep my personalized plate [2F FJ40] but get it in the blue and gold. It's a no-go, unfortunately.
