I was thinking it was most likely the rear heater hose lines, somewhere. I will have to trace the lines to see if I have that valve. This is a good start for me. I appreciate the responses.

Hey all, It's been a while since I've been on here but I have a new issue with my '73 FJ40. The gas tank sits under the passenger seat and under the tank there is a hole with what looks like some kind of rubber seal in it. After I drove around the other day I noticed coolant leaking from this...

Thanks for the input. Even if I remove the winch shaft there is so little room to get tools up to the bolts, as the manifold is so tight against the block. I hear what your saying about the rabbit hole theory and I wish you guys could see what I'm looking at the way that I do! There are some...

Thank you! I can't get access from underneath because of the winch shaft coming off the transmission to the factory winch. I haven't met a lot of people that have that winch on their 40's. The head pipe is a good call though, thanks again!

I got the same braided lines and fittings from SOR as well. So did you pull the exhaust manifold off to access the hose fittings on the engine? Thanks for the heads up on the regulator!

Hey all, it's been a while since I've been on here but I have a new issue/question that I could use some advice on, so here it goes: I have a 72 FJ40. There are two oil lines that come off the driver's side of the engine, run down and around the exhaust manifold and back up again to the oil...

Thank you Mark! I think you just gave me the confidence to do this without purchasing a new generic harness, (at least I hope so). I know the original harness is in good condition, it just need some replacement connections, which I need to locate. Something is pulling a very slow drain on the...

I meant to say I hope the link I sent works! This is all good info. Thanks again, I'm currently running through the wiring on the truck to get a better game plan. Who ever rewired this thing before I had it did a number on it. There's a main wire for the rear lights running exposed along...

Thanks for the info, I will look into @Coolerman.

I forgot to mention that I installed an electric power steering kit from EZ Electric.

Much obliged! Here is a link to the harness, I hope it works. Wiring Harness for Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 FJ45 FJ55 – JT Outfitters To answer your questions - I am OK at best when it comes to electrical. I can do it, but it takes me a very long time and I find it quite frustrating. I put a...

Hey all, I’m looking to completely re-wire my 72 fj40. I’ve seen a few different kits online, and the one I thought looked best was on jtoutfitters. Anyone ever used this kit? Any recommendations otherwise? Much appreciated.

Ok, I’m back again! I received my EZ electric power steering kit. I pulled the steering out of the fj and it’s says to attach the old steering lock/ignition key to the new colum. The problem is, I can get the bearing that sits inside the steering lock off of the old column! I don’t even think...

Hey guys. It's been a bit. I decided to go with the EZ Electric Power Steering kit for my 73 fj40. This might be stupid question, but how doe I know if I have a 12v or 24v electric system? I assume it's 12? Thanks much, and Happy New Year!

Thank you all for the information! It's been very helpful so far. Question for Michael Hanson - Who is George in California? Is there a way to contact him? Thanks again.
