I lived in WP for 2 years and did the commute to COS every day. It never got old. Cup of coffee and about a 35 minute drive (depending on where you work). I moved to NC last June and I am getting ready to move back because my wife and I miss that area so much! Good luck to you.

This sounds ridiculous, but I can not get the stock steering stabilizer to come off of my 78 FJ40. What is the trick? I have beat the SH!T out of it after trying to coax it off for more than 30 minutes and it will not come off. I am about ready to saw it in half. Please advise...I need help.

Tucker: I've tried that website also several times...Maybe I'm a little slow, but I can not access anything on that site except J$$P Crap. Please send exact link if you have broken the code. Thanks. By the way, I have been looking for one of these for a few months now and am definitely...

Nice...I was just in one of the "other" STANS recently, I wish I would have thought about it. I probably could have flown one over to my ISU 90 container in a blackhawk and shipped it for free...Any other suggestions? I guess I was hoping someone either ordered an extra on an earlier...

road trip Drove my '78 from NC to CO (1800 miles - 3 days - no stereo). The only issue that I had was I picked up a bad tank of gas in Kansas and had to "blow" out my fuel filter about 5 times and then ultimately found a parts store and rigged up an aftermarket filter to get me there. All in...

2f Engine parts - Exhaust manifold.... I need several parts for my 2f. I need an Exhaust intake in good condition and the pass. side engine cover plate (not sure what the correct name is, has the X's stamped in the plate that I need). I may also need a timing chain cover in good condition...

Thanks for the awesome info

I am talking to several local body shops and geting estimates on a complete re-paint of my 40. I know everyone seems to have a strong opinion about clearcoat vs. single stage finishes. What experiences have you guys had? I had planned to go with a factory orig. look and stick with the single...

Thinking of doing a frame-up resto on the cosmetic side of things for my '78 FJ40. The guy who painted it did a terrible job and did zero prep. There is very little rust on the body tand I think that it is definitely worth fixing. I have a guy that will sandblast the entire body for about...

Anyone know the actual capacity of a stock 1978 fj40's tank

I've got a white set on my '78 right now that look identical to the ones in your picture but w/o the clips. I want a set of the grey that will fit my 78 so I cn go retro with the hubcaps and all. :)

Romer, IDave: Your advise Sucks :) :) No, seriously, I tried that and no luck while using a remote start wire. Luckily my trusty mechanic is just 4 blocks away from the house. I hate giving up on stuff like this, but they are calling for several days of solid snow starting late tonite and...
