I’m bringin my R/C 40 too….

I’m bringing a truck load of 40 parts. Too much much to list, but off the top of my head: H41 transmission: non-US with the low 1st gear, compatible with pre-1980 one piece transfer cases Rear axle set 4.11 diff Radiator - pressure tested and painted Radiator housing Instrument cluster...

I’m bringing a set of FJ40 front drum brakes tonight, free to anyone who wants them. Blue Toyota Tundra. -Derek

Downsizing after completing the mechanical resto on my 40. HF sandblasting cabinet and parts washer. Parts washer mounted to a furniture dolly. Need the space in my garage. Half the price of new: $185 for both. Can deliver within reasonable distance of Herndon or bring to the next club meeting.

This is a very interesting 40. It's amazingly beautiful yet super scary at the same time. It has the potential for greatness, it just needs the time and money invested. I'd personally be more inclined to remove the body, put it on a rotisserie, and save it than I would be in selling it for a...

When I'm perusing other FJ40's, I'll admit that bed liner is a turn off. The PO of my 40 had the underside of the body sprayed with bed liner and some parts are flaking off while other areas it's impossible to remove. It's just an ugly PITA. Really the only way to deal with it is to remove the...

First, it'd be a good idea to prime your oil pump with a hand drill and a flat head screwdriver with the handle cut off. Spin it until you feel resistance and have some one check the guage to ensure you're getting oil pressure. Make sure to line up the oil pump slot with the flat tip of the...

Movin this over to the For Sale/Trade/WTB/Free Thread. Not lookin to make any coin, just offering it up to club members. I recently picked up a new F350 and 24ft equipment trailer. The trailer is a Diamond C 14K 24ft hydraulically dampened tilt trailer with 12K pop-up winch and has a 10,000lb...

Hey Fellas, good to see you again at Wednesday's meeting. Wanted to let y'all know that I recently picked up a new F350 and 24ft equipment trailer. The trailer is a Diamond C 14K 24ft hydraulically dampened tilt trailer with 12K pop-up winch and has a 10,000lb payload. Perfect for hauling...

I also own a non-usa 1980 FJ40 and just re-ran all my fuel lines and vents. Your truck should have fuel vapor separator under the panel on the passenger side. There should be three 1/4" hoses going from the tank to the vapor separator. A fourth hose runs from the vapor separator to the charcoal...

FWIW, to answer the original query, I have the CCOT 8274 shorty bumper in black and really like it. Heavily built, black matches the frame, perfect fit for my Warn 8274, and being shorter eliminates overhang in front of the front tires. Glad you found a good stock bumper.

My gut is saying it's a weak spark scenario. First thing I'd do is make sure you have really good ground connections from the battery neg terminal to the engine block, frame, and body. Make sure you have good clean solid metal connections. You still have a points distributor. Have you cleaned...

And it’s not just the extreme latency of bouncing data 22,500 miles up to GEO, back down, all the ground hops, back up again, then back down, for over 100K miles of travel per data packet. It’s the data caps, the throttling, the additional data fees, the cancellation fees, the contracts, the...

If it was me I’d probably rinse it out with a few gallons of fresh fuel, fill it, and run it. Make sure you have a spare fuel filter or two. There are baffles and a flapper valve inside the tank. I wouldn’t want to dump gravel in there. Muriatic acid runs the risk of eating a hole in any thin...
