I ended up needing the cable because the parking brake cable interfered with the alignment of the sender. Just enough to need the cable. You should be fine if you're not running the parking brake cable. I did have to cut about 1/4" off the cable...
I spent eleven hours dicking around with this today. Three or four yesterday. My buddy Chris thinks it's fetal alcohol syndrome. He could be right, I don't know.
I do know I burn a lot of brain cells figuring this stuff out, and it...
Been waiting a long time for this post. I upgraded my garage!
The before photo
... and the after photo (13 years after).
It was restored by Amazonia 4x4
It was manufactured in November 1971 so I don't know if I have a 1971 or 1972 FJ40. I...
Took in some hot springs post storm and now sitting in a conex box at our test facility. Has been sitting at -6° here….cant wait for it to get back to 0 or higher…..I’m glad I’m not @rkymtnflyfisher
Truck runs great, definitely need to dump the...
Dug the FJ40 out of the snow and began to pull off parts for paint. Bitter/sweet moment since once again I'm making the 40 undrivable, but since our AK spring and summer are so short I need to knock out these smaller pieces before tackling the...
Seat backs are in pretty good shape for 48yrs old. These will get the “preventative” treatment before reassembly. Met with the upholstery shop Friday, more than likely going with a Marine Grade Vinyl.

This won’t hurt I promise. Im’a lower a rope down the rabbit hole, I want you to wrap it around your waist and snap the carabiner closed. Exhale slowly during the assent. Don’t want you gett’en the...
Sleep? Sleep is for the weak.
I think half the reason my trip went so well last year was the insane level of obsessive planning and scheduling Chris and i put into it.
I've got a pretty good rough list going.
I'm also preparing to drop my...
$171 + tax each for these 16" steelies from a Denver dealer last week. More expensive than they should be, but I like them better than the plain steelies. Tires will be mounted Monday:
That's all steelies are, trailer wheels. And yeah, like $60 ea.
Not anymore if you mean OEM. I'm no longer in the market for them, but still interested if such $65 FJ40 wheels exist.
My 40 came with Enkai aluminum wheels that I would have never bought but they have grown on me and are simply just a part of her now.
I like steelies but $1,200 for a set? No thanks.
Thanks all and think we can all agree: style is subjective. What i also think all can agree on: if the wife likes a certain style- for example 4Runner wheels- then life’s a whole lot easier if you also find a way to like them LOL! I’m a lucky...
You opening sentence is correct. Don't get me wrong, I love the mostly factory look of steel wheels. I say mostly because people tend to wrap them with 33s. But there are folks that steer others to make all these rigs look the same. The thing...
Thanks all- I think 4Runner is the winner winner chicken dinner here!! I’ll try to figure out if there are any spacers on them, but the way they’re set up there’s no rubbing. Thanks again for the quick help on this(and pic of truck with all 4...
