You are correct, I do have the standard OEM oil cooler installed. It is connected to the cooling system and appears to be working.....although I am not sure how to test this. The aftermarket oil hoses are part of and, connected to an oil cooler which is located in front of the radiator. The...

Sorry for the lack of information - I appreciate the responses. It certainly appears as if the components are aftermarket. The engine is a standard 2F 4.2l petrol engine mounted in a 1984 FJ60. The issue is the hoses shown in the photo are leaking and after digging in it appears as if the...

Can anyone direct me to where I can find the oil hoses indicated in the attached image? These are oil hoses that connect to the bottom of the oil filter mount. I believe they should be rated at a minimum of 65 PSI.

This is a great solution. Thanks for the tip - I did this the other day after redoing all the brake lines and it worked like a charm. Cheers.

I realized the issue with mine is that my FJ40 is a 1981 but I replaced the frame with a 1979 which is supposed to be the same as an '81. However, there was a mid-year change and as a result, I found some nuances that are different - nothing that I have not been able to work around. In this...

Thanks Mike - where do you get the metal line from?

I am rebuilding a 1981 FJ40. The original was smogged but is being de-smogged during the rebuild. What fuel lines should I run? Also, does anyone know of a supplier that sells all the fuel lines needed? See attached -

Thanks - this is a great help. I will check it out over the weekend, but I do know the tank skid plate has the holes where your studs are, but I am not sure about the bracket on the torgue tube.

Thanks for the feedback. I have not yet reinstalled the fuel tank or the skid plate - I was planning on doing that next. Hopefull this will resolve this issue - thanks again. I am not familiar with the torque tub - what is that?

I am rebuilding a 1981 FJ40 and reassembling the hand brake, but cannot figure out where one of the handbrake mounts attaches. I have the lever installed correctly as well as the linkage to the rear differential. I have attached a few photos: A - shows the brake cable from the lever, B -...

I am rebuilding a 1981 FJ40. The original chassis was in bad shape so I purchased a 1979 chassis that supposedly is the same as the '81. For all intents and purposes, it is the same except for a few modifications I had to make for the gearbox cross member and mounts. In addition, the Land...

Thanks!

Thanks again! Any thoughts on where I can get brackets, hangers, etc. that one would use to hang the wires on the frame/body? I assume the best place to start would the fuse box. Do you have any tips on cleaning the harness itself?

What year is this harness from? I did not label mine when I removed it, and regret not doing so now.

Thanks all - this is most helpful - even the commentary of the angle of the dangle.
