NVM- got an answer back from the Toyota part dept. finally- 5318160050/5318260050

Eric, Thank you for the great info, watch your videos- wished I would have found them prior to buying my ‘21 LC! I just received the above parts but the sub assembly didn’t come with the grille “wings”- are there part numbers for those? thank you, Ken

Need 79-on donor 12volt FJ40 for electrical chassis/parts for my money pit dream Landcruiser. The LONG VERSION: After enjoying the heck out of my 78 FJ40, I decided to pass on the good times and do my part to restore another TLC. I hated gassing up every 2-3 days with my old 2F. So I was...

Pete, I am trouble shooting my gas smell in my cab only(hardtop is on.) It is only strong when I'm 3/4 or more full. Do you think it is still the tank? thanks

I checked the coil under this thread: https://forum.ih8mud.com/40-55-series-tech/196883-testing-ignition-coil.html And I got spark! I had a 75 Maverick that went through about 6 starters my senior year of high school, and when the FJ first refused to start-I immediately thought that was the...

I think you are right

I have researched previous threads and haven't found anything helpful, so I need some advice... Recently found out the external resistor for the coil was missing the "hot crank" bypass wire. In finding that out, I had the battery tested; replaced the pos battery cable; also...

I was taking the left resistor wire and attaching it to the coil. I took the right resistor wire out completely. I also rigged a wire from the left resistor wire to the coil while leaving the right resistor wire in place. Both setups resulted in instant firing on start. I will...

Starts with external resistor bypassed. Won't when connected. Tested resistor at 1.4 ohms- so it's in range per my factory repair manual. Should I drive with it bypassed. Or should I buy a battery with more than 525 cold crank amps to hopefully get more energy past the resistor????

Hmm...interesting. Everything on the starter(except ground strap missing) looks fairly stock. So what do you think I should do? reconnect the ballast resistor that's on the coil anyway? Ground strap? Thanks again!

Thanks Pinhead! But I had already done the bypass of the resistor along with a new pos battery cable, and brushed all the battery connections. It now starts like new! BUT- I read that the resistor is to avoid burning out the coil. So I only ran it for a minute. --The blackwire/yellow...

MountainRam- what is the the easiest way to switch out the ballast resistor? BTW- having same issue w/ my 78 FJ40- only starts when jumped below 40F. Have good battery but only 525 CCAs. Going to bigger battery if above doesn't resolve. Thanks!
