Cowl Vent Drain My 75 FJ40 does not have the holes shown in the picture. I ran a single hose from the driver side down through a hole behind the gas peddle. I plugged the other drain hose. I wonder what the cowl vent is for except looks? It does nothing on my 75 but collect dirt?

Jim, I have a 75 FJ40 down on the eastern shore of Md. I need to get the rear diff. rebuilt. I have doors from a 71 or 75 FJ40 I would like to trade. Do you have any suggestions. Email: frank_bentz@yahoo.com Thanks Frank

FJ40 rear end? noise I recently purchased my first FJ40, for that matter my first 4X4. I expect more noise from the drive train than in a modern truck, but I was wondering how much louder a 1975 FJ40 should be. Can you give me any idea?
