    Body Shop in Western Suburbs of Philly?

    Hey all, I had a tree limb come down and take out my passenger seat (about a month after I looked into swapping my seats out all together!) and damage my Tuffy console as well as some other minor stuff. Does anyone know of a good body person in the above area? I’m in Newtown Square just east...

    Ignition switch wiring question on ‘74 FJ40–help!

    I was having problems with my ignition switch physically engaging and starting my vehicle. I pulled the old switch and saw that the “female” plastic part was worn/broken on one side. I swapped out the old switch for a new one and the key is working as intended now. That’s the good news...

    Ignition/Starter question. . . is my key too short??

    strange issue while starting my '74 FJ40. My starter has become very intermittent. I initially thought it was just the starter itself but the only way I can (sometimes) get it to engage is by pushing the key in while rotating it to the start position. I read another threat which suggested...

    fitting half doors/lowering door strikers

    So I am in the midst of installing new Aquala half doors on my '74 truck. As those who have an older vehicle and have installed aftermarket half doors probably know, the door striker does not easily match up to the latch and appears to be way high. I've seen this in pictures on a thread...

    Gobi Rack without the hardtop

    I understand you can use the Gobi racks with or without the hardtop on. Has anyone run their 40 without the top but with the Gobi (or any other) rack? If so....pics? Thanks in advance.

    Anyone know anything about the above? They're a local Arb dealer but it looks like they do custom fabrications too. Thanks in advance!

    Wiper cover for '74 and earlier

    I have a '74 and my wiper motor is exposed. Did these originally come covered? If so, is this an item I can find anywhere? Thanks in advance! mjo

    Winch question

    So when I bought this 40 last year it had the winch in the attached photos installed. It's not connected to anything and I don't think it works. What would your collective advice be in dealing with this? Try to have it rebuilt or just purchase new. If the latter, would I be able to simply...

    To drive or tow?

    I have a 357 mile trip upcoming (Philly suburbs to Hyannis, MA) that I want to take my 40 on. I'd love to drive it but I don't know about travelling up the Easten seaboard via I-95 in a 40. Question is: what would you guys do? Travel back roads (time isn't an issue) or tow? If back roads...

    brackets for rear heater

    sorry if this belongs in another thread but I have been trying to find the above and have come up hopelessly empty handed. I have the entire rear heater (base, coil, top plate) except for the brackets which attach the top plate to the base. Short of buying a completely new/used rear heater I'm...

    "Antique voltmeter"??

    My mechanic is telling me that a post on the passenger side foot well/under the dashboard (?) is corroded. He describes it as an "antique voltmeter." He is suggesting it is sending power from the alternator to the battery. Does anyone know what this part is called? Thanks. Mike

    Slow start on my '74 with 350 conversion

    If I don't drive my 40 for awhile and go to start it, it starts well. May take a moment to turn over but with a little gas it starts no problem. If I drive it for a bit, turn it off for a few minutes, and go to re-start, it doesn't want to turn over. I changed the battery and it's a little...

    Truck just died

    While driving. Won't turn over. Gas gauge went from full but is no longer working so I'm assuming I blew a fuse. Any help would be appreciated!
