Has anyone here had (and solved) this problem before? Checked fuses and main ground wire at battery. Need this baby running as it's dumping in Idaho and I work early mornings and my van doesn't cut it in the snow. Many of my searches led me to different problems, all typically returning to...

The comment directly above the comment I posted ;) Stating that the 73's and earlier may have 3" shorter struts than the later models.

Does anyone have a reply to the comment above? I have a 71 and am about to toss in an order......

I just picked up 6" rear shackles and 5.5" front shackles for my 1971 Fj40. Judging by what I've read in other posts people have used the same shackles with 2-4" extended struts. I'm going to order the 5100 Bilstein's but need advice whether to order the 0-2" or the 4" struts..... Once these are...

Can you shoot over a pic of your rig with the shackle/33"? Mine is drooping, I need new tires, and your shackle & springs is exactly what I'm looking at to clear new 295 75 16's.

Does anyone have a picture of the adj knob?

Sweet ride! Which lift/tire combo is this? Looks great, and I'm in the market for new suspension and tires.

Which lift kit is this??? 35's?

I found a good deal on a newly refurbished FJ60 GR starter and decided to mount it onto my 71 1F. It mounted it up no problems but I found that my cable was too short & ALSO that my ignition connection (to ignition switch) had one burnt up fitting inside the 4-way plastic connection to the back...

Pinhead can you toss a link to those threads you referred to? I've got a similar problem...

Mine hasn't gone too long without a tuneup. The first (cold) start is typically awesome, she fires up and purrs very nicely. However when I turn off the warm engine, I'll need to bump start it..... Tried some unusual starting practices, gas to the floor, choke, no gas, pump it a couple times...

Did you ever solve the problem? I've had the same problem with mine since day 1.

I'll try it out! A free of charge fix would be ideal ;)

So far I've tried to start by just turning the key with my foot off the gas, and also by giving a few pumps, and one time I just stepped on the damn gas pedal and it did crank up. Are you telling me you guys give it some gas even when warmed up to re-start?

Thanks for the replies. It starts every time when cold, but yes once warmed up it cranks and cranks but just won't spark up. It will bump start. So far I've cleaned up the ground connection but that didn't solve the problem (although it was certainly a bit rusty). Temperature gauge never rises...
