Thanks guys I am going to check those today. I will look for any loose connections then set timing. I will update later.

Today I was driving back to work from lunch and heard a weird noise like squeaking of brakes, but I wasn't breaking. This was shortly followed by a very loud bang (backfire) and I immediately pulled over. The engine was still running just fine and when I let off the clutch it had power but now...

Emblems are on their way! I broke most of the old ones mounts getting them off due to rust. I could have just glued them but thought why not make it look decent.:beer:

I used about ten cans of just that not counting all the primer. I did three coats so it's pretty well protected.:beer:

Thanks! Color is Nutmeg and it's some sort of Rustoleum automotive acrylic enamel that I picked up at this place called Ollies Outlet. It was normally 7 bucks a can but I got it for 2. I got the LED tail lights from an Australia. They are the Narva brand lights. They fit inside the SOR tail...

Been a while since I have been on here but figured this was worth posting. Finished my rattle can paint job! Sanded down all the rust from it being in upstate New York primed and painted. Now all I have to do when rust peeks through is sand it and throw more of my paint on it. I have about...

So I have been having a lot of trouble with my rear lights. This is a 2/75 build date FJ40. When i would turn on my left turn blinker my reverse light on the passenger side would come on. I took apart my rear harness and found a decent mess. I believe I got it figured, but I am trying to...

I think Johnny C would agree that it doesn't matter where you live....if you have a FJ40, and like driving it.....then who cares. Plus I think my cruiser is looking pretty awesome with some rust on it now. Makes it feel more like a home. Don't worry I plan on "saving it", but later after I...

Thanks for the heads up. I was looking for an excuse to rewire them again as I'm not crazy happy with my first attempt. Guess I will graft those into the process.

I used bullet connectors on mine. I had to cut the connectors off the five wire leads on the Narvas and put others on and then I stripped the wires on my trucks harness and put in new female bullet connectors. Of course my truck was already missing the stock plugs thanks to the PO (like many...

I drive mine just fine through the upstate New York winters. Of course I have a 10 minute commute to work that I never go over 40mph on.;) Rust happened immediately after I left Kentucky and arrived here and has been spreading since. On another note I don't know a lot of people who bought a 40...

Just an update. Got these installed this weekend. They work great and are extremely bright. I failed to install the resistor in line as well, and the turn signals still work just fine? I have a 1975 model FJ40. I don't know if i just don't need it based on the way it was originally built...

Had these shipped to me from Australia and arrived in about 6 days, which I don't think was bad at all. Also I only spent $190 for the pair with shipping included. Link below. Be aware it is just the light, no resistor. But I bought resistors from superbrightleds.com that should work for the...

Just bought a set off Ebay. Cost me a little over $190 shipped to the US from Austrailia. Dude sent them really quickly and I got them even before their estimated initial arrival date. (Ordered them Feb 26 and got them March 3rd). Pretty slick lights. Installing this weekend with some...

Post a Want to Buy on the forum for mini-truck or FJ60 knuckle out setups. I had a nice fella on here @3_puppies who sold me a knuckle out setup from a 85 FJ60 (included everything, birfs, spindles, even the hubs) for a very fair price with the shipping (a good bit less than $550 and I got the...
