ah fudge you're right - had that problem last year - put in a TH350 and advance adapter set up. But last year the leak was coming from the front prop shaft output. Guess back to the shop. sigh. thanks

Parked the FJ Monday - didn't drive it Tuesday. Walk out this morning to see a bit of a leak under the rig. Definitely was not there yesterday. Coming from the transfer case. Looks to be leaking from sealant - I'm assuming that I can take off the access panel and hopefully give the bolt...

Put in a new dash as the old one kind of worked (speedo was 20% off and fuel gauge was close) and PO had a bunch of crap aftermarket gauges (H2O temp, oil pressure, and voltage) mounted in a hard to see space. Surprisingly easy to wire up. The real pain was the rats nest of wiring from the PO...

I'm actually looking for a set - but I've got a RAMJET 350 and a TH350 in the rig. I suspect not a match? I'm planning on having my shop doa custom set - but if there is something I can get off the shelf....

thanks. I should have thought about that when the pile of old stuff was laying around the shop floor <lol>

I'd love to know what you paid for it. I sold mine in 94 after I bought my M3. It was hard to sell as most people didn't know what an All-Trac was. I ended up listing it in AutoWeek (is that still around?) I think I got like 10K for it.

Jeez - I owned a 88 Allrac - man that hurts to see it listed as an "Antique"

Just curious what most of you are doing for insurance. I'm with USAA - bought he 77 FJ for $9K and have dumped $16K into it (new TH350 tranny and a RAMJET 350 motor). USAA won't insure it for more than blue book - I called Hagerty but they don't do off road vehicles ( I should have said I just...

I like the crinkle finish on the rig- what did you use? That's next on my list now that the tranny and new ramjet is installed.

Hi All - I'm getting lazy in my old age. I could easily make one but before I go to the effort wondering if any vendors make a clutch master blank off plate. I have a 77 FJ with a RAMJET 350 and TH350. It's getting cold here in CO and the cold air from the clutch master hole blowing into the...

finally got all the parts in. And it's back on the road. Sweet setup (at least I like it). next up is a new motor...

Hi All, Started a project back in october to replace the 4spd on the new to me 77 FJ40. I got the FJ in August and in september the clutch went bad (known that it was going bad). The FJ already had a SBC mated up to the stock 4spd. It seems the adapter is unobtainium - might be able to get...

I have a new (to me) 77 FJ40 I picked up off ebay. Always wanted an FJ for about the last 30 some years when I bud of mine had one when I was living in Washington state. Anyway the stars finally aligned and I have a new to me FJ40. I'm beginning to think the F stands for Frankenstein. Yes it...

I'm a noob - so be kind. I was just looking at where my defrost ducting "should" go on my new to me 77 FJ40. Great tips on the autozone and summit racing bits. I'm not a purist (given the Gen 1 SBC 350 under the hood) so I'm fine with non oem solutions. My question is if someone could look...
