Okay, so my new '78 FJ has a 20 gallon aux tank. It arrived empty so I filed the stock tank. IF I filled both tanks, do you have to switch the tanks when one runs dry? Other than putting a stick down the aux tank neck, can you find out what if any gas is in that tank? Here is a real FJ 40...

Yup. Roxbury is near Danbury. I go down to Greenwich all of the time. I did not buy the Cruiser off ebay. I found it on Craigslist, Los Angeles. I've had mixed results on ebay. Found a great FJ 60 (my Freedom Red '87) and a not so great '85 FJ 60.

I just got my '78 FJ40 yesterday. It came to Connecticut from Ojai, California. It looks great. The body has some surface rust and the paint is pretty worn. I'm going to get it ready for paint as soon as possible. When I take everything off the body, I want to freshen up all of the trim...

I know the water pump and the A/C are bad but the A/C ihas no belt. The motor just turned 140,000.

Looking for ARB Bull Bars for both of my FJs. Full length roof rack, aux lights etc. Must be in excellent shape and worth shipping;) I also need a new A/C compressor for an '87 FJ60, right front door window trim (chrome strip with felt and rubber), support plastic for the driver's side seat...

I've got a problem eminating from the front (near alternator) of my '87 FJ60. It's intermittent which is a real pain. Sometimes it's just a squeal. I have all new belts and a new Power Steering pump. The A/C compressor is shot (WHERE DO I GET A NEW ONE?) so I removed the belt to eliminate that...

Thanks guys. I'll try it in the morning.

I have an 87 FJ60 that I bought from a family in Southern California. It now resides with me in New England where it is cold (duh). The main heater works fine and I feel a trickle of heat coming from the underseat heater. My question is is there a blower that should be coming on for the rear...

This is the situation...87 FJ60, 128,000 miles. I have new Bridgestone tires properly balanced and an alignment completed 1 month ago. I had a complete chassis lube (except wheel bearings were not repacked). Now I have a slight vibration that kicks in at 45 mph and it is not coming through the...

I heard a death like rattle and groan today. It appears I need a new compressor for the A/C. What can I do besides going to a dealer! Any compressor manufacturers fit my truck??? Can it be rebuilt?

Okay, I am new at this so forgive me. I have an FJ 60, 1987. I had the truck fluids and ignition wires changed recently. Today as I was cleaning and getting familiar with the layout I found a rubber booty with 4 snaps across the top forming an inlet and an outlet. I assume it is meant to keep...

Thanks. I filled it, and it did not leak. I turned on the lights and bingo!
