Got it - that’s what I was thinking. On a stock FJ40 is there a gap between the radiator support and the front bib? On mine the support was touching the bib but it had an AC system (that I’m replacing with the VA). The rad support rods were bent up so I chased down proper ones.

Hello - I’m in the process of putting a vintage air system in my 79 FJ40. I’m having a little trouble with the radiator being too close to the clutch fan. I tweaked the bolts where the rad support attaches which gives me enough room to move it so the condenser is against the front bib. My...

Looking for seat belt receivers (the bottom part that bolts to the floor that the belt clicks into) for my 79 US Market FJ40. These would be the cable type for bucket seats. I need a clean working set from a US model. Thanks! Chris

How hard is it to install a later model dash plate on an earlier (1979) model? This guy: Previous owner cut a 52mm gauge hole with a sawzall and I don’t need a gauge in this spot (I have a Holley dash). Also the hole is uneven 🤦‍♂️

Here are some Clardy removal shots - check out the compressor mount which bolts to 2 of the motor mount bolts and 1 of the water pump bolts.

Just FYI - at least on my 79 the Clardy install puts 2 30mm holes in the firewall and has several sheetmetal screw holes in the body and dash. I swapped mine to a vintage air - which removes the heater but does it with minimal modifications to the firewall and everything unbolts.

I have a new tank and I’m gearing up to do this in my 79. I’m using an Aeromotive phantom which is basically the same thing as the Holley in tank unit. I spoke to Aeromotive and they suggested putting it into the flat area between the sender and the factory pickup. When you guys talk about...

I got one yesterday - I will reach out if that doesn't work out. Thanks!

Thought so, thanks! Chris

I need the passenger side radiator core support rod for a 79 FJ40. Thanks Chris

I can’t tell if it’s weirdly bent by a PO or supposed to be like this. I can’t mount my vintage air drier as it is. Thanks.

I'll take it - I sent you a PM. Thanks.

Looking for a 1979 Wiring Harness for a 1979 FJ40. Let me know if what you've got - I would also consider 1980+ Thanks, Chris

Yes - on Saturday AM. I also emailed about 2 weeks ago. I just got tracking from you - thanks.

Thanks!
