    1980 Pickup Steering Wheel Identification

    Hey all, can someone confirm whether this steering wheel was stock on the 1980 model? I can't seem to find any information online so any input would be great. Non-US?

    1976 Brake Booster OEM Check Valve

    Hey all, I've got what appears to be a Dorman check valve and grommets (2) on my OEM booster but cannot locate a repair for the failed grommets. They fall out of the hole in the BB and I'm having to use gasket maker to keep it in place. I can't even find a source for the original parts for...

    Wanted  Richmond, VA - 1976 FJ40 - Heater Control Bracket Needed

    I am looking for the vertical plate with the ball knob on it that ties the heater linkages together on a '76. Mine is on the left in the below photo. Let me know who or where to look, as Cruiserparts.net is a no go. Thanks!

    How to chase a steering clunk

    I've got a knock that I can feel in the steering wheel and only when I turn left. The steering wheel can be at any position and as soon as I turn it left there's a hard knock that hits the steering wheel. I've tested it with the knuckles detached from the steering linkage. It only seems to be...

    FJ40 Hardtop lower corner replacement

    Does anyone have some input on why these areas tend to be trouble spots on the FJ? I assume water runs down the back of the roof and down the rear face of the panel, into the groove? Combine that with water intruding into the side seams of the side panels and rolling to the back, rust then...

    1976 FJ40 OEM Power steering Slop

    At this point I just want normal tight steering and I don't want to have to do any welding. What's my best option? Can I do the FJ60 without having to weld anything? Planning on going no bigger than 35 inch tires and don't need anything real crazy in terms of off-road capability. Just beach and...

    FJ40 Windshield Fitment Issue

    Hey all, see photo below of how my windshield is sitting in relation to my door these days. WS is not in place on the door at the moment, so I'm assuming this is all due to an old windshield gasket that isn't compressing fully? Dash screws are fully screwed in too.

    Knuckle Rebuild Time Expectation?
