Thank you!!

Hello everyone, I am looking for a new radiator for my 1974 FJ40. Any recommendations? Thank you!

Thank you very much!

I have been doing some research and plan on redoing the interior of my FJ. Obviously mine is a little different than most as I only need to do the front seat area. Im wondering what experiences you all have in regards to different products for this type of thing. Any products you love or hate...

I dont know what that is… but if it is a performance part I doubt it

Hello everyone, I have had my 74 FJ for a few months now. Since I purchased it I have been dealing with a very stiff clutch pedal. It was barely driven for a year or two before I purchased it so I hoped it would loosen up after driving it a while. That hasnt happened so Im wondering if there...

All in all it was about $2k. Im in Costa Rica though so anything car related is more expensive. I bought the bushing and tie rod ends from Cruiser Teq in the states tho

Ok sounds like the usual suspects then. I just pulled the plugs and they were pretty black so I cleaned them and put them back in. This truck sat for nearly two years so Im not surprised there are things to tinker with. Here are a couple pics of the carb and distributor. Seems like someone did...

My 2f motor will have a small amount of run on most times I drive it and turn it off. About one second after turning off the key. Sometimes it is very slight and other times it goes for a second or two and then there is a fairly big hiss type sound before it stops. Is there a common cause of...

Im looking for hubs for a 72

So all in all I should expect wear in the front. I dont really want that so I will probably find some manual hubs and change to them. Thank you everyone

My wifes 72 FJ40 doesnt have manual locking hubs. We bought it a month or so ago and thats how it came. It does have 4wd tho. Im interested to know the pros and cons of this setup. My understanding is that this could cause early wear on the front axles but Im definitely not well versed on this...
