Thanks to all the helpers - for now it was simple as putting the screwdriver in just right. Looks like I have plenty of “keys” in my garage for now.

I’ll try it, this one is from Columbia

Yes, clean title. Trust me..got worried.

Been awhile since I posed a question. I bought another FJ40 to build up- needs work as they all do. Question though - anyone know the trick by looking at the picture below how to start it? I’m ordering a new cylinder to replace, but I need to do some starting to test other areas… I just...

Thanks!

I will. It actually had the motor in it when I bought it, and I was fighting overheating issues constantly. Put in new fan, shroud, all kinds of work. Decided to pull the motor and take a look at inside (it was burning oil and rear main was leaking anyways), and found the the back passages...

I'll be in touch! I have to finish this 383 up and get it in, then tackle the spindle!

Thank you @RevISK . I will use that to guide me once I start pulling it apart. Great Help!

That would be great! Much appreciated!

I have a franken FJ40 and I am wondering what I can use to identify which year of Steering Knuckle Spindle I need to order. While my ride is listed as a 74, it has a lot of 75 parts and other year parts from what other owners have told me.... Is there a measurement or something else I can...

Neighbor a couple doors down who's got a few jeeps asked how may “Suzuki Samurai” project was going…. At least it wasn’t a jeep comment I normally get

Thanks - this really helps. I'll be trying to put some makeup on the frankencruiser scars to make it look close to decent. I was expecting a lot when I purchased it. Originally everything underneath aside from the exhaust was painted bright red. Frame, suspension, drivetrain, bumpers etc...

I see lots of grinding marks under the paint when I hold the light at an angle, so I bet they ground it off. The gas tank is under the passenger seat, though.

VIN on the frame rail is gone from what I can tell. I've found out that the front body parts are from 79/newer as the front bezel is not the rounded style, it's newer.
