Gotcha. But one of the holes on each side of the channel partially lines up with one of the holes that is for the hardtop. Did you offset the channel to avoid that hole?

Trying to install the channel for a Bestop bikini top. Two of the channel holes partially line up with the holes for the hard top. The rest of them I can drill out. Anyone here know how that’s supposed to work?

Hey guys just wanted to update this thread. Coolerman is definitely still selling his great products. Just received my stuff a couple days ago. Just wanted y'all to know.

Does anyone know if Coolerman is still selling electrical stuff for 40s? I need a few things and have contacted him through DM and email but haven't heard back in a while.

Thanks for pointing this out. I may have messed this up when remounting the alternator.

Battery is not charging. I'm guessing that the aftermarket VR in the first pic is toast. There is a VR on the firewall that I recently replaced with one that I bought from ToyotaMatt but I'm guessing that right now it's out of the electrical circuit. I just need to check the wiring going to...

charliemeyer007 , You were right. Googled it and it's definitely a voltage regulator but unless I'm mistaken that's not where it's supposed to be. There is also one mounted to the firewall. Not sure if this is the original alternator but here are some pics of it. Label is all worn on it.

Thinking this is something that a PO put in. Can't find it in a FSM or anything else. Does anyone have any idea what it is? It has a wire coming from the alternator. I don't think it's a voltage regulator because that is located on the firewall.

Running boards for a 2021 or similar 4Runner Limited. These are the nightshade variant and are in excellent condition. Local pick up only.

Ok, so I pulled the temp sender bung and as I suspected there was no thread tape between it and the cylinder head. There is also no thread tape between the sender and the bung. So it should be grounded properly. My knowledge of how to use the multimeter is limited. It does have an auto...

So what did you replace your original dizzy with?

Ha! Had not noticed that until I zoomed in on the pic!😂

Hey thanks for verifying. Gonna check out your FAQs and maybe give you a jingle.

So if it’s a condenser then I’m guessing the distributor is either off of an earlier model or non-USA? Anyone else with condensers on their dizzy around the ‘77 era? I know SOR sells condensers but they’re either for an earlier or non-USA 40.

After installing a new cylinder head I’ve been trying to get the timing right and messing with the distributor a bit. In doing so this silver barrel piece broke off of the wire that attached it to the distributor. It’s on a Feb ‘77 FJ40 (Cali spec). Wondering if this is a condenser? Also is...
