Two of my front wheels studs broke off whole tightening the lug nuts. Is there any way to replace these studs without taking the whole hub assembly apart? Anyone who has done this successfully pls share as I dont want to go through the hassle of having to tear the hub apart. FYI My front has...

Thanks. So does that mean the tranny cannot have a breather line extension added to it with a fitting?

Hi Folks, Just wondering how i should go about mounting a side awning to my FJ40 hardtop roof? Im planning to install the awning only without a roof rack? Any ideas? I was thinking getting some cross rails for the roof and mounting it there> But i cannot find any rain gutter clamps? Anyone...

Don't really have a branded set of leafs installed. After i bough the truck. i noticed few leafs were broken. So had them cut and replaced from a leaf spring shop. Normally the "cruiser lean" is on to the driver's side right and not the passenger side?

I did inspect under the carpet and the usual rust spots. All of them were like in brand new condition. I think the owner may have sandblasted the body and repainted.

Yes i was thinking the same. And with the wipers at the top as well. What year do you reckon '71 or older?

Hi, i had a look at the VIN number but couldnt make a record of it. But thanks for the info. Maybe the chasis is off a 78. Thats why the registration book says its 1978.

Hi guys i want t buy my first FJ and had a look around and found this which is in great condition. The owner told me that the year is 1978. However if you look at the windshield, the wipers are from the top. So i am not sure if this is an older model. So please help me identify the year of this...
