    Any idea what these pipes are that are bent off ontop of the engine? 1978 FJ40 2f

    Not to be a contrarian, but it looks to me to be a water temperature sensor that screws into the water jacket on the head. A wire with a female spade connector plugs into it. That wire should in turn go to the temperature gauge on the instrument cluster.

    Best oil filter for a 1978 fj40 2F

    At the top, just enter the part number. No need to enter the year or VIN. Sometimes, it is a two-step process: Find the part number using the Toyota Electronic Parts Catalog https://toyota-usa.epc-data.com; then armed with the part number plug that into your preferred dealer's website.

    Best oil filter for a 1978 fj40 2F

    Ask 10 people and you will likely get 10 different responses. I like to support our Mud vendors when possible. But other times, it may make sense to procure parts through a Toyota dealer. Sine we don't have a "local" option, I prefer Capo Valley Toyota Parts Center. Their website provides...

    ARB Locker Questions

    Others with more knowledge will chime in but I believe they are not interchangeable. Your front axle is a full floater and your rear axle is semi. Totally different.

    Speedometer Gear removal from t-case

    Thank you for the clarification. The steel drive gear should have a number stamped into it. And the nylon gear has to match.

    Speedometer Gear removal from t-case

    There is a nomenclature that you may want to become familiar with: DRIVE GEAR: INSIDE THE T-CASE DRIVEN GEAR: PLASTIC GEAR OUTSIDE OF THE T-CASE. The Drive Gear tooth count should match the Driven Gear tooth count. It is a very easy process to remove the plastic Driven Gear to do a quick...

    New Engine for a 1975 FJ40 Named "Sandy"

    When we first acquired our 1970 it didn’t have the factory air filter housing. Knowledgable folks told me that it was risky to remove the 2 head bolts for the reason that the head gasket integrity could be jeopardised. Knowing the risk, I proceeded and got lucky. I can see why a shop would not...

    Wanted disc brake dust cover

    Yes. I can confirm that 60 series disc brake dust shields do indeed bolt right up to a 40 series disc brake axle. Matt furnished me with the parts including the weld-on tabs for the axle. Great products and service as usual.
