    Exhaust Attachments FJ40

    Beautiful!! Thank you so much exactly what I’m looking for. Wondering if this is contributing to my manifold vacuum leak problem….

    Exhaust Attachments FJ40

    So mine is just a straight exhaust pipe where it feeds behind the driver side rear tire - I would think 2 hangers would be sufficient. Anyone have an actual picture of the first hanger closest to the manifold? That’s the one I’m missing and I just want to know where it attaches and what it might...

    Exhaust Attachments FJ40

    How many points does the exhaust attach to the frame on an FJ40? Searched the forums and couldn’t find anything concrete. Replacing the manifold gasket on my 77 40 because of a significant vacuum leak and when separating the manifold/exhaust I noticed that my exhaust had only one attachment to...

    Remflex heat riser gaskets

    Cleaning up and replacing gaskets on my intake/exhaust manifold for a 77 fj40. I ordered the remflex manifold gaskets and it came with gaskets for the heat riser but they appear to be much thicker than the ones on there currently. I saw some old posts about those being too thick but they’re...

    Strange issue with distributor not firing

    Thanks for that. Went thru over the weekend and fixed the 180 out debacle — now I’ve got the plugs ordered correctly and after fixing the points in the dizzy it seems to be firing up great now. Read thru a bunch of threads about dizzy not being properly seated and I guess I’m having that issue...

    Strange issue with distributor not firing

    Actually it may be — seems like they just reversed the firing order and it runs ok. Guess I have a weekend project now

    Strange issue with distributor not firing

    It was done in the US but I think they may have thrown an older dizzy on there, from what I can see it’s a 68-74 model. Purchased from someone who had done the refurb What makes you think it’s 180 out?

    Strange issue with distributor not firing

    I’m not entirely sure as I don’t have much info on the restoration of the vehicle but I’d say it’s not original based on the overall condition. Pictures attached

    Strange issue with distributor not firing

    For the most part my 77 FJ40 fires up just fine but on ocasión I’ve been having issues with my distributor. Will run fine one second then if I turn it off and go in to fire it back up it won’t fire…. I’ve found that if I remove the dizzy cap and pull the rotor slightly out before replacing the...

    Issue with carb throttle linkage/bent rod blocking speed screw

    Ha! Yes exactly — but after a couple hours of late night digging I was able to find and old thread where someone had the same issue. Thanks guys! For your ref, mine was pretty jacked up compared to one that was good……

    Fj40 Adjusted carb now it won’t start

    I’m sorry may be a dumb question but what do you mean by not engaging on the speed screw? Just ordered the FSM for future reference, thanks for the suggestion

    Fj40 Adjusted carb now it won’t start

    Yesterday I pulled out the timing light to adjust the timing on my 77 fj40 — got that squared away at 10 degrees advanced then proceeded to adjust my mixture/speed screws. While adjusting the mixture screw I took it a bit too low and the engine stalled, now I can’t get it back up and running...

    Issue with carb throttle linkage/bent rod blocking speed screw

    Was working on adjusting my idle today and noticed my choke was stuck. Tugged in the linkage in the carb a bit and it released but after I noticed that my speed screw was now blocked by this metal bar that appears to be bent out of shape. Anyone know what I did by chance or how to repair?

    Wipers speed up at higher rpm’s/lights also get brighter

    Have a 77 fj40 that I’ve been doing a bit of work on. Just replaced the battery and overhauled the motor for the wipers (wipers were not working previously). At idle the wipers work great — 2 speeds, slow and fast. When driving I still have 2 speeds but now it’s just fast and extremely fast...

    Replacement gear for wiper motor

    Doing some work on my wiper motor and the gear appears to be stripped. Does anyone know where I can find just a new gear? Everything else in the motor is in great shape, I flipped the gear and it’s working for now but I doubt it’ll last. it’s a 77 FJ40

    FJ40 Soft Top Ambulance Door Parts

    Anyone know where I can find specific parts for the rear soft top ambulance doors? Specifically looking for the upper hinges and the weather stripping channel that mounts to the outside of the upper frames. I’ve reached out to TROA and Relik garage but they’ve been unable to help so far — any...

    Dang it, I knew I was missing something. That’s exactly what I’m looking for. I scoured sor and google to see if they anyone sold the channels but couldn’t find anything. Do you know anyone off hand that sells those? Thinking those and the stripping and I’ll be in good shape, can revisit the...

    Soft Top FJ40 Rear Door Upper Frames

    I see — assuming I would probably just need to trim mine up before adding the rubber seals to the door channels? Right now the Velcro and top wrap completely around the frames so I don’t believe I would be able to attach the seal directly to the frames as you can kinda see in the picture. Is...
