    Oil Pressure, Fuel, and Temp Inop

    Having an issue with my gauge cluster. My oil, fuel, and temp gauges have suddenly become very intermittent in operation. At first the temp gauge would randomly stop working over a couple of days. Next startup it would work fine etc. etc. Then over the span of a few days the rest of them all...

    High Altitude Jets

    Recently moved from Houston (sea level) to Idaho (4000’). Took the Cruiser out for its maiden Idaho drive today and haven’t re-tuned the carb. Could definitely smell it was running rich and there was some obvious protesting on the drive home. I do plan on leaning it out, but at what altitude...

    Sun Visors

    Anyone know if the 79+ sun visors fit earlier year FJ40’s, particularly a ‘77? Looking to get a new OEM set and noticed the blade on the later years is bigger which would be nice.

    High Oil Pressure?

    Finished my rebuild and now have 100 miles on the rig. Quick question though. My oil pressure hangs out right at the upper range of the gauge. Idle and high RPM’s, hot or cold. Should I be concerned? What should I be looking for to remedy? Any input is appreciated.

    4Plus Bumper Thread

    I have a 4+ on the front and rear. Love the build quality and stoutness. I’d love to see how everyone is using theirs, particularly any mods or additions. I’m looking for ideas on how to safe guard my expensive Yeti cooler (or gas cans) without having to remove them all the time. What have you done?

    I have the typical Saginaw power steering conversion. Saginaw steering box going to a Saginaw pump mounted on the front left of the engine using the first two head bolts for the bracket. Anyways, for whatever reason I can remember the thread pitch and hose end sizes. I have a small leak that...

    Need Help...Stuck in Reverse

    I've run into an unexpected issue with my frame off resto as I'm getting things put back together. I recently put the wiring harness back in and hooked up 80% of the electrical system to make sure everything works properly. I haven't been able to start the engine yet because I'm waiting on...

    PhotoShop FJ40 Interior Challenge

    Getting down to brass tacks on my ‘77 Resto and I’m trying to make a decision on what leather color to reupholster the seats. I happened to get some free leftover leather from a Gulfstream that had its interior redone at work. These are the two colors I have to choose from. The grey is very...

    ‘77 Cowl body mount

    Hey guys I’m deep into the resto of my ‘77 FJ40 and the body mounts I have for the front cowl seems to be too thin, and therefore causing alignment issues with the fenders and apron against the cowl. So the question is, what is the correct thickness? From what I can tell it seems it should be...

    Cowl sealant. What to use...

    Working on the cowl of my ‘77 resto and I’m scrapping out all the old sealant in the cowl to remove any hidden rust. What’s the proper replacement sealant, and where can I find it? Any suggestions appreciated.

    Is this stock?

    Building new brake lines for my ‘77 resto and I’ve run into an issue with the front axle brake divider. Anyways, built the line and screwed it into the divider and it didn’t bottom out so I’m concerned this isn’t stock. Any info would be appreciated.

    Help!Dropped my Transfer Case on the floor!

    As you can see from the pics, my TC fell and hit the concrete floor in the garage, damaging one of the long bolt holes. Besides bending it, there is a tiny crack as well. Nothing else was damaged. What’s the prognosis? Can I grind the bolt hole round and JB weld the tiny crack? Or is this...

    Engine mount bolts and torque

    I’ve been looking all over and I can’t seem to find the torque value for the engine mount to block torque setting. Or the bolt torque for the mount pads. Also, I had to cut all the engine mount pad bolts due to corrosion so now I’m in the market for 2 long bolts for the front mounts. Anyone...

    Is this crank pulley repairable?

    Working on getting the engine back in order before bolting it back on the frame and I have a quick question... Is this portion of the pulley weldable? If it’s not cast I may fill weld and grind it back to its original shape. Would this create balance issues that are better avoided?

    City Racer Brake Booster

    Has anyone used the brake booster for their ‘77+ FJ40? I’m looking to replace mine on my resto and this seems to be the best option. Before I started the frame off, my brake pedal was inconsistent. Sometimes it would work perfectly, other times I would have to pump them up. Every other...

    Who’s galvanized their frame?

    Im having my frame galvanized and I was under the impression that putting sacrificial bolts in the frame was the best solution to avoiding having to retap all the threads. There seems to be some debate that the galvanizing will bond the bolt to the point of snapping them while trying to remove...

    Brake Caliper Torque

    I recently rebuilt my front brake calipers and painted them for my resto project. Anyone have any idea what the 4 bolts that hold the halves together should be torqued to?
