Thanks. I'm interested in that too but would need to find a good spot to make it happen. My place isn't the best right now as we are renovating the house and my wife might kill me if I start taking over the garage with extra parts, etc.

Sorry for the delay as I was out of town. I think the plan would be to find a kit and do it that way. Not real sure how I would source parts otherwise. Like I said, I'm really green at this and might feel more comfortable using a kit. Thanks for input!

Ben! Yes I do!!! That was incredible. Let's get a beer one day next week. How about next Tuesday (1/25) 4pm at Crow's Nest in GH?

Great. Thank you for the nudge in the right direction.

Hi all, I have a 1972 FJ40 in Nashville TN with the original drum brakes that I would like to convert to disc brakes (front only). I'm still pretty new to working on the cruiser myself and would be more comfortable with a professional doing this type of install. Does anyone know a good shop...

Hey all, Noob here working to take the doors off my 1972 FJ40 for the first time. I’ve seen other videos where they say that it’s easier to fold down the windshield to have enough room for the pin to be removed. That said, my cruiser looks like it has a seal on it that needs to be removed in...

Hey there guys, complete newbie here but trying to learn to work on my new 1972 FJ40. Bought it last summer and it ran great but needed a new carb (which I had replaced recently with a new Weber). Now that the new carb is installed, I'm noticing that that oil pressure gauge is always on "L" and...

Well, I found a few suggestions after looking around on this site in different places. Not sure how to delete this thread so...

Hey all, Pretty new to this site and really new to FJ40s. Purchased my 1972 FJ40 last summer off Craigslist in NC and have been driving around town loving life. When I first bought it, I had a mechanic adjust the timing and engage the front drum brakes but was told at that time that it was...

Thanks everyone for the help as I think I’m getting closer to buying my first FJ40. Found the one below and think I’m ready to pull the trigger on it. Before I do, is there anything that you guys see here that I should be aware of in the pictures? Any questions that I should specifically be...

Thanks, but I’ve got myself set on trying to find one 1975 or later. Appreciate the help!

Thanks guys. Appreciate the assist. Have a budget of $12K-$14K and trying to find something that’s mechanically sound but in the 1975+ years. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Looks like a pretty nice rig but I’m still a bit wet behind the ears on these. Any thoughts from Mud? https://denver.craigslist.org/cto/6907011294.html Thanks!

Looking for an original FJ40 with a solid body and minimal rust. Stock motor and interior preferred. Running and mechanically sound. Prefer Capri Blue or Beige. I'm in Nashville, TN but willing to travel if necessary Willing to spend $10K - 15K
