Had the same heat issue... found heater valve on block was not shutting off. Was scared to take valve out from block as been there 51 years so added in another valve, a pec 5/8 inch ball valve, problem solved , as no hot water thru heater hoses at all till next winter

Thanks very much for excellent photo problem now solved..... love the internet

Have same issue with my 70, is it the actual pin in the arm you are hitting with punch/hammer? Sorry to ask but pic would be nice if available.... tia

Thanks fo much for the replies.. Nice to get advise from experienced people

i purchased a 71 for parts for my 70 though not needed, but was looking and cant find the transfer case shift lever. were some full time 4x4??? Unit does have warn hubs. There is a lever under the dash beside steering column .. could this be the t case shifter ? unit is not running

Have a 70 fj40 filled steering box with grease, temps down to -20F AND still no big issue steering It even gets colder here in Alberta Canada +

In my 70 I had to use a hockey Puck under each side of seat to level out seat.

The green one is a 71 with blown motor. driven from 71 to 83, and garage kept till 2019

There are some things in life you just have to get over....... BEZELS are one lol

aaaawww come on guys...... these are CANADIAN BEZELS........LOL;)

OK another story... purchased my first fj40 ,a a1975 in early 76, drove it till 86 and sold it. BUT i bought the 75 because my buddy bought a 70 in feb of 71, and i was with him. Long story short, he passed away last year, and i bought the 70 fj, all orginal and not driven in last 15 years...

Tks will call Mark in morning .. appreciate the lead..

Well Guys, i found the problem. the carb is worn out. The throttle shaft is allowing in air and creating the vaccum drop. Sprayed brake cleaner right on shaft an idle smooths out. Never got around to back side of carb as i am a bit mobility challenged (rotator cuffs) LOL NOW... the search...
