Now that is a beautiful drive! Nothing like the San Juan Mountains and the Million Dollar Highway.

No I did not. No problem.

Took off bikini top and canvas doors, put my soft top and original doors back on for winter. Took a test drive and found my rear heater is not turning on! Rear heater hot but fan no go. Front fan works excellent. Man, I just took it apart last winter and serviced it. worked great. What the hey?

I have a 71 fj40 with aftermarket rear bumper that required the earlier smaller 40 tailight assemblies I got them from Spector and they were cheap but originals. my old ones were really shot. Check spector I found an expensive price and another spector search found a pair at very cheap price yet...

Yes I've read all those and more. I'd like to know what the function of the armature lug is. Is it a negative or positive. Unfortunately I'm not electrically gifted some of the diagrams show 4 wires going the motor Is there polarity of the a lug?

Where do I connect the single lug (armature)at the end of the motor on my '77 8247? Replacing solenoids with contactor.. Contactor has the 4 lugs ,pos and neg to battery then the other two to the f1 & f2 lugs on motor. I've checked the diagrams on line and still don't get it. Where the heck do...

Boy those look good.

Putting contactor on my 7/7/77 Warn 8274. It's got the old metal plug receptacle that intrudes into control box about 1.5". Is there a cheap replacement for this plug in? I'd like to keep the receptacle where it is. I see warn has the "new" version (1980 and up) for about $40. Ouch. The newer...

It's high time I did that, Great tip!

I did not need to strap the steering wheel. I did a lot of curves uphill and down with no problems what so ever.

I bought the cheap magnetic tail light kit off Amazon. As my rear bumper is a big metal one with diamond plate, the magnets did stick but no way to trust that! I simply tied bailing wire around the necks and bumper just firm not tight and they stayed in place perfectly and securely. Worst part...

I just got back From flat towing my '71 Fj40 with 2.5" lift, 10.50x33/ 15's with Harbor Freight towbar. After disconnecting one end of the driveshaft at the rear differential and zip tying it over to the frame, transfer in neutral, Warn lockouts in free, I Towed the 40 over 3 Colorado mountain...

Flat towing behind my 92 Chev 1 ton regular cab non dually. I want to go right into my rear tail light wire and wire in flat 4 pin connector at rear of PU of course. I want to bypass my 40 electrical system. So I want to hook up directly to my Pickup towing plug and take the flat pin wiring...

I installed a tow bar on the 40. Works great behind my '92 1 ton C30. Extends my 4 wheeling range.

I've had the Q jet for years with no real problems, rebuilt once about 10 yrs ago. I installed a Holly 4 bbl on my chevy PU 4wd but when 4 wheeling in the mountains the carb would starve on hills and angles I think that can be fixed but, the Qjet has been fine for me, now it's running better...
