Hi all. I am looking for some 2.5-3 inch lift springs for my 78 fj40. If you have a set sitting around, let me know. Thanks Brady

Guys I can't thank you enough!! Looks like the 4WD shifter was all out of wack and locked in 4L. A little elbow grease, adjusting, and some forced submission with a hammer and BAM, everything functions as it should, I can even go fast than 35 now. I will be posting again first with some pics...

Okay, dead stop, 4th gear, engine does not rev in fact acts just like it would if you let the clutch out in 1st without using the gas pedal. Small stutter, with a little gas takes right off and drives fine. drove around, only smell I can tell is a little smoke from the engine

Not sure if this is contributing to the problem, but a couple of you mentioned T-case stuck in low. Well turns out I can't even get the t-case to shift to low. From H2 to H4 no problem smooth as can be, but it will not go into 4L. So lets add this to the now growing list of problems and if any...

Thanks for the reply guys. I plan on hooking it up this weekend and see if I can get it running. It currently has what I believe to be a stock carb, which will be upgraded shortly (any suggestions)? I'll get some pics up as soon as it moves from the garage. Thanks again

Good Afternoon All! I am nearing the end of my FJ40 build and need some help on the fuel system. I have a 78 with an older chevy 350 motor (I believe the motor is a 78 as well). I rebuilt the entire rear end and decided to mount my new tank under the rear of the FJ. My question is, will the...

I have tried everything and cannot find the measurements I need. I am rebuilding a 78 FJ40. 90% of the tub was shot and I am fabricating a new one myself. I need the measurements for the main support beam that runs width wise between the mid bed and the passenger/driver floor pans. If anyone can...
