I love my 40 I just wouldn’t mind a slightly lower CG and a comfier ride. This is going to be my camping rig so it will always have the roof top tent on it an awning and it’ll have some gear inside. I’ve been told that flatter springs are a better for an SOA flip, but I am unsure if this is...

Looking at a 91 FJ80. I noticed this metallic tapping noise and almost a knock when I went underneath. It also has some rust in the rocker panels. I saw some rocker panel replacements for about $400 each on ebay. Was wondering if anyone has had experience putting them in. How difficult/ time...

Yeah mine just so pitted and when I'm in the cab I can smell the fumes coming from the front. I think its worth spending the money at this point, I'm too far gone and I should just keep going. I asked for a discount code *fingers crossed*.

I found it on their eBay page. These welds look worse than the one on my fj40 currently. Might have to fork out the money for a TriMeki.

I went on their website to look but I couldn't find anything. Is it a custom order?

I got my intake manifold off today and it’s got a casting 17111-61010 and it’s also got this JB weld looking goop inside of it. Worth just grabbing an oem restored one instead or just cleaning this up, flattening and putting back on? Im installing a Sniper EFI as well. I’m in CT if anyone has...

Okay 4H works! Confirmed by locking the hubs and rolling a bit in reverse/forward until it engaged. Lifted the wheel and it was not spinning. When in 2H it spins freely. 4L I have no clue the lever wiggles freely right and left, no clunks, no engaging feeling. I can't even tell if its working...

Update Time! I got the spark plugs out. I did change these last year (barely driven since then) but very oily and black. Right is front of the motor. Left is towards firewall. Replaced with new NGKs and gapped at 0.032” Transfer case did have oil and apparently to the correct level...

Yeah I had a plate from my EFI kit that I will install next once I get the truck running correctly. I bought everything they had haha I ended up going electric because I'm going to go EFI anyway soon. She lives! Got a little drip under the carb right where I zoomed in. and still a little...

Grabbed an electric pump for now! Confirmed it is fuel. I drained everything. Fuel tank lines were almost empty as well. Blocked off the mechanical fuel pump. Just installed an in-line electric pump and I gotta finish wiring today. Will fill her up with oil and then run it for a bit, then I...

I will attempt this with a bit of flushing but it might be fuel. You know it smelt sweet as hell when it came out. And I love the smell of gas. I was so worried it was coolant. Oh I think you’re right because nothing is milky at all. Will fuel leak only at the fuel pump?

Hello all, I haven't driven my 75 fj40 in over a year and it sits outside in Connecticut. I drained the oil today and for good measure I figured why not just use a home depot bucket because it could go everywhere and my oil pan was small. Low and behold, all i see is clear liquid and I'm like...

i did it cold. i was more looking for consistency, can do it again when its warmed up. I'm assuming it'll go up. thanks will run through your recommendations this week and update the thread agreed, def don't want to slap on the efi with all these issues. the good thing is it always fires up...

Hey everyone, Decided to drive the FJ40 yesterday after the winter. Let it fully warm up for 10-15 minutes. Wasn't overheating, oil pressure was normal decided to just take it on the grass at my house and it barely made it back up my very slight hill. It was rough. Kept cutting out, and she's...

Thanks Jay I will take a look at the defroster block-off panels. As for the spring-over already being converted I don't think going back down makes financial sense. Perches already flipped, I think my only solution is finding the shortest shackles possible and potentially taking out some leaf...
