Thank you guys. Appreciate all input. Now to make the decision.

Hey Everyone, So I think I’ve read just about all of the posts on ih8mud about the efi conversions. I get that many people like the sniper, but I have now had two mechanics (one rebuilt my head, one I’m wanting to do the efi install) tell me that they would not do it. They said that they have...

Thanks fellas. I will try to figure that out.

Hey all, I’ve been looking and can’t seem to find a straight answer to if a 1979 axle with disc brakes would be a simple “plug and play” swap into my Feb. 1971 with a 1971 axle (with drum brakes). I am really wanting to get disc brakes on my 71 and have heard this might be the easiest way to...

Hello everyone, The Kenda klever 33/9.5r15 are on sale again for $206 at Walmart. Getting ready buy and want to make sure they will fit. I have a stock 71 right now, but have a 2” lift at home that I haven’t put on yet. Has anyone used these without any lift? How about a 2” lift? Thanks.

Thanks 1911. I looked at it and it says it fits 10/75 and later. Mine is Feb 1971. I am going to call them and ask though. If anyone else has had luck with a 71, let me know. Thx.

Hello All, Pretty new guy here having issues with my February 1971 FJ40. Need to replace my brake booster. The one I was sent from Rockauto has a check valve welded in. The check valve is nowhere near the size of the hose that I have going to the current check valve. I called another place...

Thanks all. I just bought some used 30x9.5x15 tires until I figure out what my next move is. I have these 16” Vintiques but am having trouble finding C-ply tires that will fit. My original 15x5.5 wheels pretty much won’t accommodate bigger than a 30x9.5x15 (I know everyone says I can get...

Great. Thank you. That makes sense. I could tell there was some cable holding it in and I didn’t want to force it.

Hey everyone, I have a Feb 1971 FJ40. It has the four wheel drive shifter under the dash. I bought the FJ recently and it didn’t have any defrost hoses attached. I found some at Summit racing and have attached the passenger side. I was wondering if someone could please show a good picture...

That’s a good idea. I’m not sure any of the shops would do that. Maybe I will try. Thanks.

They don’t seem to be very popular on FJ’s over here (at least not many people have responded to this.) I am pretty new to the FJ family. Wanted one since I was a teenager and just recently got one. I Wasn’t sure what a surf, Prada, and LN160 Hilux we’re so I looked them up. I think...

Bikersmurf, It says they are 31.6”x10.5” in the specifications section. I think that is where I am getting a bit nervous about it. I am not sure how how close the people that run a 31x10.5x15 end up being to the vehicle. Also will the wheel being a 16x7 with 4 inch BS change anything...

Good evening everyone, I have been looking for threads on the tire size 265/75r16 on a non lifted fj40. I have found a few other people that have asked about them as well, but I haven’t found exactly what I’m looking for. Does anyone run this tire? If nobody does, why? I have 16” Vintiques...

Thanks everyone. Maybe I will just drive it for a bit as is when I get it. I will evaluate the need for tires myself when it arrives (which should be in the next day or two). If I can get by with them for a while, i will drive on them and see what I think before making a decision.
