Thanks I appreciate the tip. I would think Valvoline VR-1 racing oil would have that, I will do some research.

I am running a rebuilt 2f in my 72 Fj-40 and was wondering if anyone recommends anything other than a good synthetic. I am know there are die hards for specific brands etc. Just curious what others are running and their experience.

Thanks folks, I will check both of these options out. Glad to be back on the forum and updating my rig.

Thanks. Will look them up. As you can see it's getting tired.

Can you get a new igniter, as that seems to struggle at times when the engine is cold, otherwise it starts right up.

Looking for aftermarket replacement headlights for my 12/72 FJ-40. Anyone going with any type of LED?

Been a bit since I have been on the forums since my build was completed, but am at the point where I am looking into some upgrades for my FJ-40. I have a hybrid ride with a 12/72 frame/body with a 1985 2F, and FJ-60 Power Steering and front discs. My old dizzy and igniter is getting tired...

I have a 12/72 FJ-40 and put Power Steering and discs on it. I scavenged parts from a 60 series and it is great. I did have a guru put them on for me as I ran out of time and lost my shop in the middle of a move. I would highly recommend it if you will do any road time. If it is going...

Thanks Pin Head. My follow up question would be could my Auburn Locker, even though I had only just shifted into 4 Wheel Drive High while not moving, have been the cause of the bustification? My only rational thought was that it had to have been the drive shaft since when I climbed under...

Been quite a bit since I posted. Life always gets in the way. Looking for a little insight about fixing my broken transfer case. I have a 72 Fj-40 with a 79 4 speed tranny. Long story short what I believe happened is my drive shaft came off of the transfer case yolk and spun up and broke...
