I would be super interested in the electrical tech day!!

It looks like they have parts for 1984 and after. Does anyone know of a Toyota site still selling parts for older FJ40's (like 1970/1971 specifically) ?

Good Morning - It looks like I need to buy some additional pins/bushings for 1970ish vehicle: hood hinges (2), rear doors (6), windshield hinges (2) and 2 doors (4). Can you let me know total price? Anything I missed?

Good Morning - I've bought a set of pins/bushings for my fj40 - do you sell an extra set of bushings?

I suspect at this point my membership has lapsed mostly because I had tried to get access to the private section a few years back and was told I should automatically have access. To be honest it wasn't a very friendly reply. If there is a better new member on-boarding process now, I would...

I probably have most/all of what you might be looking for. I'll try to pull all the parts out and get photos of everything. Some of them are buried though behind our son's furniture which he should be moving out of the garage in a few weeks though...

Makes sense. Thank you for your suggestion.

Thank you both for your assistance. I'm past that hurdle and am working on next steps. I'll post a picture of the rebuilt unit once I'm done - unless I run into another issue before that goal line.

Thanks. I'll give that a shot and report back.

I am putting a 8274 back together and have run into an issue. I ordered new Warn parts for the pinion and cam because of severe pitting - the issue I am running into is the splined cam won't align and mesh with the intermediate gear. I have the pieces out of the lower housing for picture...

Knuckle Question. For my front disc brake conversion I have a knuckle from a mini truck donor axle. But, as I got it cleaned up I noticed it had a broken bolt. I then made it worse by trying to extract it with an extractor which I broke off... The other 7 bolts are all good. Thoughts on...

Thanks. I'll go figure out how get a silver star!

For the rear axle - When I opened up the differential it was in bad shape - it looks like the oil was never changed - thick sludge. I took the axle and differential COMPLETELY apart and cleaned up all the parts thoroughly. I've installed new axle outer bearings and axle oil seals. In the...

Hopefully I'm creating a new build thread the right way. A bit of background on the vehicle. My wife's dad bought a 1971 FJ40 new in Arkansas. He installed a Warn 8274 winch and did a SOA conversion at some point. My wife has a lot of fond memories of 4 wheeling with her dad - but at some...

I've made it through page 5 of your build. 9 more pages to go. I hope to be at the rolling frame stage by spring. We'll see. I am moving a LOT slower than you did... Thanks for the inspiration.
