I've got a set off a '71, and nearby I've got a set of original wheels and hubcaps off my '71. Don't know if they were the same as your later model. I'm in Forest Grove. Hubcaps are fair (minor dents). Wheels were fine when I took them off in December. PM me (or post reply on this forum)...

Just completed installing gas lift struts inside my stock lift gate supports (per Cooney's '06 post, locatable by searching NAPA part 819-5565 in this forum). Cooney did his homework, and it works perfectly. Only have a few things to add: Before you remove your chrome supports from the...

Holley 2 barrel carb, with all the stuff: Don't know what model this is, but marked at top of intake "LIST-7448 0798". Came off my 71 FJ, and worked fine (replaced with Weber 38 on my rebuilt motor). Comes with "DOWNEY TOYOTA" aluminum adapter/riser (1"), with allen bolts (4), and a composite...

I think when I viewed the seat bracket reversal procedure, (for more driver legroom) they said it was applicable to '73 and up. Other threads say any '70's FJ. Mine's a '71 with the bench passenger seat (for two, with the little middle seat back), and the driver seat seperate. Hinged seat...

Deleted a duplicate here. (Couldn't find how to do it in the edit mode)

Put the same tach in my '71. Offset it on the steering column at about the 1:30-2 o'clock position, so my high beam indicator and all guages visible. With the newly rebuilt motor, and standard tires (LT235-75R-15"), it ran at 3000 rpms at 64-65mph. (3spd tranny). Now with 31-10.50 tires...

Window Crank malfunctions Two things (very often both) happen to cause the window crank assembly to fail: Stripped gears, and/or flexing of the small tab that retains sprocket against sprocket. The "fan cam" (for lack of a better description: this is the large half-sprocket that is driven by...

Howdy. Two gas tank vent tubes run from the tank up the passenger firewall and across to the driver side near the brake master cyl. Mine just go into space. Is there supposed to be a "charcoal canister" that they go into on a '71? Someone on an earlier thread mentioned three vent tubes. I'm...

Howdy. Got my new motor today and a year ago when I tore this thing down, I did not remember, (and did not write down) how the domed "hockey puck" rubber insulators stack up. Tech manual picture is hard to interpret, and actually shows a different arrangment on the passenger side than...
