    Saturday Convoy

    *Correction - the event is on Sunday August 20th. Mostly a Jeep and Harley event but should be a good time. The $10 goes to a law enforcement charity: Harleys vs. Jeeps presented by Blackwater Jeepers

    Air Conditioning supplier for FJ40

    Correct, the OE plastic blower to heather 'tube' will not fit once the evaporator is installed. Instead the kit from OAP supplied two plates that mount on the heater core and the blower outlet that have an oblong 'O' shape to which a section flex hose would attach. I have not attached it...

    Air Conditioning supplier for FJ40

    X2 on the Old Air Product underdash units. They look very similar to the original Nippondenso units. I installed the CAP-200B model which has the black face. I also opted to have the factory delete the front panel controls and instead installed them remotely in the dash for a cleaner look and...

    FJ40 won't start when hot

    Starter should not be getting that hot as it on the opposite side of the block away from the exhaust. If it is just a weak starter, consider upgrading to a gear-reduction starter.

    FJ40 won't start when hot

    Easy enough to check to see if a cooling fan will help. Next time you go to park it at the house, open the hood and position a fan near the driver's side fender blowing at the carb. If you can start it 10 minutes later with no issue, then you found the problem. I had a similar problem in the...

    Simply Referred to as "The 40"

    Odd wear pattern/grooves on #6 - wonder what caused it

    Cone Washer Removal - Need Help

    Agreed. You have to hit them harder than you would think. Something about the harmonics/vibration that pops them out.

    sun-visor resto?

    Make sure you get the right length. I picked up a new set from the dealer a while back and the metal mounting arms extended down far too low. I ended up shortening the arms myself by cutting and re-welding them so it wasn't an issue and looks stock but would have been easier to have the correct...

    FJ40 Dies while turning left...

    Is it desmogged by chance? My '76 has done this occasionally in the past and I believe the elbow on the spacer below the carb (which is capped off if desmogged) fills with fuel over time and then when a left turn is made it dumps the fuel into the manifold and floods the engine temporarily. One...

    FJ40 sheet metal replacement

    I replaced a fair amount of sheet metal on my '76. Take a look at my build up thread and hit me up with any questions and I will answer if I can. Are you replacing the entire quarter panel or using patch panels? Either way you will also need to weld in temporary bracing to maintain the original...

    Drive 2,400 miles home?

    These trucks are slow on the highway and at 60mph with the stock 4.11 axle ratio the engine will sound like it is going to explode, if you can even hear the engine over the wind noise caused by the FJ40 having the aerodynamics of a bookshelf - and you will still hold up traffic on the highway...
