Can you purchase just a couple of them or is 50 the smallest quantity they will sell?

Not sure how to upload pics, is there a tutorial on the site that explains how to do it? Are the bushings still being produced by Toyota? Thanks for the replies.

I have a 1977 FJ40 that I'm trying to identify sounds as I drive down the road. Doors and windows rattling I figured out. There is a pretty pronounced clunking sound that is present when I drive down my gravel driveway, but goes away once I hit the pavement. The whole vehicle feels and sounds...

Thanks badsamaritan. Do you know if this FSM is something that can be purchased? Does FSM stand for Field Service Manual? I have a Toyota engine repair manual and also the Chassis & Body manual from Toyota Motor Sales. The engine repair manual is for the 2 F. I believe both manuals cover...

Nice truck, thanks for posting pictures. A while back in your thread thebigredrocket posted illustrations from a manual. What manual did they come out of? Is there one for a 77 year model? Sorry to hijack your thread. I would like to get the drawings of the emission system for the 77 FJ40...

Just went thru your thread. Excellent!! I saved all your pics for reference, thank you for taking the time to post them. Where are you getting your hardware? Are you having your originals plated? I also have a 77. It's a 11/76 build date, I see a few differences from yours. Mine has the...

Hi Vexveader- I too have a 77 FJ40 it has a Nov 77 build date. Currently I am just preserving mine till I can get around to doing what you are doing. I will be following closely and do appreciate the pics you are posting! Where in Atlanta are you. I lived in Stone Mnt. GA for 16 years...

Hi Vexvader- Nice score on your 77! I also have a 77 build date NOV 76. Looking forward to your thread on your build. I am just preserving mine hoping I can do a frame off like you in about 5 years. I noticed thorsic1977 offered you reference pics for re-assemble. I would recommend taking...

That's what I thought, or at least what I was hoping it wasn't going to be. Thank you very much for your reply. Looks like I get to tear it down again. This time I will write down my disassembly steps so I can reverse order when I assemble it back together.

Need help in re-installation of the plate that goes under the crank pulley. Not sure what it's called but it looks like it protects the crank, air pump, alt, and fan pulley's. I removed it when I tore the truck down and do not remember how it goes back on. I'm have a feeling it should have...

Hi tjhaga- I didn't see how to send you a PM, but did find out where to start a conversation. I did send you my info through the conversation. Is a conversation the same as a PM? Thank you

I seem to have misplaced my hardware that secures the radiator to the frame. My truck is a 1977 FJ40 with a NOV 76 build date. I have been trying to get it to a point where it won't deteriorate any further. I'm not trying to do a restoration, that will come later. I removed the front clip...

Could you post a picture of the driver side of the engine bay? I am looking for a heat shield which is part metal and part mesh(?). I'm not sure what type of material it is. The shield is bolted to the exhaust manifold near the front of the engine. It has a metal elbo that exits the mesh...

Hi Rusty 72- I thought these were gone. Do you still have them?

Oil pressure wire?
