I have a 77 FJ40...and this is a recent phenomenon. Went to take the Mrs. out for date night and noticed I didn't have any tail lights or license plate lights, only brake lights. A few days later thought I would take a look at it and now I have no dash lights either! I'm a really low level...
My truck is almost all original so it still has the manual steering. The shop guy mentioned a power steering upgrade but I don't really want to do that.
My 77 is having some "steering difficulty" in that i have waaay too much slop in the steering. Took it to my local shop and they said the steering box is shot, however, he can't find one for a decent price. I can find a few rebuilds in the $350 range (buyautoparts). 3 questions from someone...
Its a small world, I knew this truck looked familiar. I went to the Ebay page and sure enough, this is the same one I used to see driving around Midlo. I wondered what happened to it. I never saw it with a hard top on though. I remember it always looking nice on the road.
I'm looking to buy an FJ40 as a weekend/lake/cabin driver. I'm not looking for showroom quality and also not interested in rust buckets I have to do a full restoration on. Just looking for something enjoyable to drive on the nice weekends. I'm located in Central VA but willing to go a bit...
