@65swb45 brings up a good point, and reminded me of what modifications I had to do to a new exhaust that was installed when I initially purchased my 40. In the photo below, you can see how the mechanic had the exhaust run a little more than 45...

@wngrog knows this one

All finished and initial torque settings done. Will check after a few weeks. Greased up and double checked everything. All in all, good experience but those pins…they are Satan’s spawn. Never want to do that again. Right now, 3” raise and...

I finally got my fj40 engine swap done as of Sunday/Monday No more leaky worn out SBC now it has a beautiful 2f. Its running and driving! I apologize about the vertical video quality.

A bit of routine maintenance: Changed air and fuel filters. Also, the vent window latch plates had been painted over. So, scraped off the paint and polished them a bit. And added a pair of heater hose hangers to side cover courtesy of...

Free! Free at last from the shackles that bind you!!! I’ll probably/hopefully be dead in 43 years and the next owner will be posting this same thread on mud because I’m the A-Hole who put OEM back on. Good luck generation double C. Knowing this...

Just small stuff: Painted the rear heater pewter since it came to me in black. Also replaced aftermarket fuse block with a NOS fuse block from Mark's Of Road.

The help here is really unbelievable, the shear volume of it. I'm on some land rover forums no comparison.

I concur wholeheartedly. I’ve been on several forums over the years for various things and even stumbled upon a different site somewhat geared towards TLC’s and this one is by far filled with generally kind, knowledgeable and helpful folks. I’ve...

I love it when I’m faced with an issue on this truck and someone is posting about it at the same time. This thunk has been driving me crazy - thought for sure it was something in the steering column or transmission tunnel. Then it mysteriously...

Thank you all for the great expert tips - even the ‘put a wrench on it’ one! I’m happy to say the winner was soaking it with a penetrating oil and then using an easy out. Couldn’t have been easier. I hope one day I’ll have this kind of expertise...

I drove my Fj40 for the first time since late December early January. albeit only 10 feet but It moved under its own power after a engine swap back to a 2f from a SBC. I still need to button up a few things but I am excited to say the end of the...

I know this was over a year ago but I just bought one of these carbs to try while I figure out why my oem wont run properly. I think Ill send off my oem one for a professional rebuild and use the Mostplus one until I do that. Then just use the...

And... my vehicular a.d.d. struck again. The day had come to excavate the 40 from my mom's shop and haul it to mine where I've actually got equipment to work with. This would have gone as planned but I also happen to store my mustang there. My...

Nice to see a pig in the neighborhood

Despite approaching this weekend with full head of steam and great intention…here it’s Saturday and I haven’t touched a thing… unless opening this envelope from Portugal counts as something….Etsy

Today I had a chance to drive the 40 for a few hours mostly off road and enjoy the fruits of my labor. Body work , new wiring, windshield, exhaust system and a million little things to get it to this point, Parts will have to come back off for...

Finally..... officially road-legal today.. after ??+ years in somebody's backyard.. 10 years in PO barn and 5 years in my garage... Last time she has been on the road like this... :-)

Greetings. After poking around the internet today looking for a fan pull switch for my 1977 FJ40, I decided to join this forum. I've had my FJ40 since 1995 and it was my main DD vehicle from about 1996 to 2002. From 2002 until 2012 it was my...
