I tried searching on this topic, but nothing jumped out. On my '76 40, my windshield wipers work fine and stop in the right position when turned off. However, they travel further than they should with the driver side going past the windshield seal which lifts the blade up a bit. Is there a stop...

I bought surplus Hummer seatbelts for my '76 resto. They look and work great! I don't recall the site I bought them from, but google search will bring some up. Here's an old thread where I got the idea: New Seat Belts - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/new-seat-belts.905114/

I chased down some gremlins after my full resto project on a '76. Here are a couple oddball things to try. When I bought new OEM taillight assemblies, the bulbs were a slightly different spec. They were good bulbs, but they didn't light up! I changed them out, and all worked fine. It was like...

Yes, it did. You can find them online. For example: LAND CRUISER PEDAL PAD SET CLUTCH BREAK GAS FJ40 FJ45 FJ43 FJ55 BJ40 1969 -1980 | FJ Depot - https://fjdepot.com/product/land-cruiser-pedal-pad-set-clutch-break-gas-fj40-fj45-fj43-fj55-bj40-1969-1980/ A VW gas pedal pad also works. They are...

Nice truck. I can't believe how clean it is! I had an '89 FJ62 that I loved. Driving it around Virgina Beach one night after hurricane Isabel in total blackout, I hit some heavy downed power lines, which scraped it up pretty bad from the grill to the top, shearing off my roof rack. I took it as...

Thank you for the excellent analysis!

This might help! My OEM lights came with bulbs marked Koito 12V 21W, and what you want is the 1156.

Not long ago while chasing down an issue with a fuse blowing, I replaced my aftermarket rear lights with OEM from CityRacer. Once I did, the signal lights quit flashing. Talking with the guy who rebuilt my wiring harness, he suggested the new bulbs were the problem. There is a slight difference...

I've looked at this site and heard some good things, but they don't have a Toyota selection for a kit. Are you thinking of getting everything separately, or am I missing something? Thanks!

That's the nicest looking air cleaner I've ever seen! ;-) Proud to see it migrate from my rig to yours...

I had a cracked manifold when I bought my rig. I also had headers and a heat riser block off plate. When I pulled it apart, gas had collected between the block off plate and the manifold. I don't know how much it affected the engine, but it was some nasty old stinking gas in there. I think it...

A quick note on the sender - don't use Teflon tape. The gauge relies on good ground from the sender housing to the block, which you don't want to disrupt. I didn't use anything and it sealed up perfectly. If you are running a bit cool, be sure you have a good rubber gasket on top of the...
