Does anyone have pics of a desmogged 40? I have a 78, 2F 40 and need a reference. I've looked at drawings, and looked at the my desmog thread.
Thanks in advanced.
so I drove the 40 to work on Saturday and everything was good. I started it around noon and drive it in the empty field behind work. As I was parking it the 40 stalled out and would not start. I tried starting it multiple times and eventually flooded it and the battery became weak. I let it sit...
So I installed an aluminum radiator in my '78 FJ40. I seem to be chasing a leak through the cooling system. I have been replacing hoses along the way and have replaced the radiator cap. I have burped the cooling system to make sure all air removed. It feels like I am getting to much pressure in...

Any...

I am having a hell of a time getting the pin out of the bushing for the shackles. Any hints? Tried looking through forum and didnt see anything. I'm sure somebody has some insight. Anything would help. Any help with the frame bushings would also be appreciated. Hope I'm using the right terms...
Hey all,
I've been watching this site for awhile after purchasing my 1978 Fj40 and I finally have some progress to show. I have purchased a new tub and started moving parts from the old one over to the "new" red tub. I just ordered some Monstaliner and chassis saver to use after the tub is...
