Looks like you've got me covered no matter what the year! Now, the $100,000 question: Which keys (ignition and ambulance door) are 'correct' for a 1979 FJ40?

Do you have any pictures of your original key? What year FJ40 do you have?

Thanks. I have been to that site but never bought anything from it. Are they reputable? Are the parts N0S like they say?

Does anyone know what an OEM ignition / ambulance door key looked like for a 1979 FJ40? Were they all metal or was the ambulance door key metal and the ignition / gas door key coated with black plastic? Any pics would be appreciated as well as vendors who sell them - they have been discontinued...

I measured - they are 13 in. eye to eye. Did you match the hardware, e.g. the strap tips to look like OEM? Can you send me a pick of the tan strap that you are talking about (and if you have an original next to it for comparison sake, that would be great)

I have a Dune Beige 1979 FJ40 with grey interior - Do you know the original color of the jump seat straps (tan, black or olive) and if the hardware on the straps was painted (or was it bare metal?)

Are those the original seat straps? I have a 1979 and am wondering if that is the color of strap that came from the factory.

This is the only sticker on the underside of the hood that is legible. The other one has no print visible whatsoever.

Thank you! Great advice! Do you need to install the suspension in that order or does it matter?

I could take a pic and send it to you.

Does anyone have a link to a good video that shows how to replace an OEM suspension on a 1979 FJ40 (or comparable year) with an Old Man Emu Light / Medium duty suspension system (to include springs, shocks, greasable shackles, steering damper, etc.) I have seen some that were either sped up or...
