    Worn Transmission Input Shaft Pilot Bearing Surface

    I’m digging into a 4 speed transmission that I got from a part out and the input shaft pilot bearing surface seems to be worn 0.010 undersize creating a ridge where it looks like the old bearing would ride. I’m assuming the bearing froze up and the shaft spun inside the inner race. It also has a...

    Speedometer delete t case cap?

    Replaced my speedo cable as the old one broke. This seems to just make it without room to spare and as it is pretty well stretched I think it is leaking. The gauge is still having issues as it was before the old one broke, so for the time being I’m looking for a cap to blank it off. Does...

    Could I put an AX-15 behind my F with these AA TR-4050 and AX-15 to TLC T-case Adapters?

    I've been thinking about this since Axis came out with their split case option and just came across these on the AA site. This would allow me to use my existing T case and seems much more affordable than the Axis split case adapter or an H55/split case swap. TR4050 & AX15 TO TLC 10 SPL TR4050...

    Slight leak from under head near distributor, how bad?

    Last night I noticed a slight leak from under the head near the distributor. There is a small casting feature on the head and from searches it appears the gasket gets skinny here. The engine has good compression otherwise. This may have been there for a long time and I never noticed it because...

    Bushing Durometer (Hardness)

    I am acquiring parts to replace my springs and want to take out some of the harshness, so bushings is one component I have been researching. I considered rubber but as I already have greaseable shackles and pins felt am inclined to stick with poly. Also I would not have to borrow the special...

    F engine oil pressure regulator

    I thought since I was changing my oil it would be a good time to install SOR stainless fuel filter lines as some preventative maintenance given my 11/69 hoses did not look long for this world. I was being conservative with my torque and when I checked for leaks I had a small one on the oil...

    Gulf livery

    I’m watching the F1 Monaco GP and loving the McLaren with the Gulf livery. Naturally I wanted to see what it would look like on a 40. Google brought up a cast model, but no actual vehicles. Does anyone know of this was ever done on a real 40? Where was it run? I love the color combination

    Anyone recognize these holes?

    I have two holes on my passenger side cowl just above the vent. I thought perhaps they were for an antenna but I have not been able to identify what one. It is not for the FJ40 radio antenna I bought. I’ve looked at a lot of CB antennas but have not found one with this hole pattern. You can see...

    craigslist  FJ55 stuffed with 40 series parts

    Posting for a friend. Toyota Landcruiser and parts+++++ I visited this guys shop today and he has quite a haul. The 55 needs work but that is made up for by the fact that it is stuffed with parts he has acquired while restoring multiple Fj40s. The roof has ambulance doors and a hood stacked...

    Black/Red Ignition Wire Burnt Up

    A few days ago I was drove my 11/69 FJ40 to lunch and when I got in it to go, smoke instantly started coming out from under the dash. I turned the ignition off, disconnected the battery and checked for fire before having AAA come pick me up and going back to work. Today I dragged it out of...

    11/69 Vacuum Switching Valve, Carb and Vacuum Retard Distributor Questions

    Running a 1970 (11/69) stock F engine and am going to a Trollhole carb. The new carb only has one vacuum port compared to the three I had before. I also have a vacuum retard distributor with petronix. The FSM (1972 F egnine) actually shows a Vac advance dizzy (page 8-25 or 160 in the pdf.)...

    1970 in CT

    Doing a lot of little things to my 11/69 FJ40 so I figured I would document them. I did an intro but this is where I will post my slow build. Mud has been a great help and I am sure I will continue to rely on this as I go through it. My plan is to work on this truck as I enjoy it. I dont...

    For Sale  1970 Bench Seats for Sale/Trade

    I pulled the seats from my 1970 FJ40. The vinyl needs to be repaired/replaced but the foam is probably good. Passenger side foot closest to the door rotted off with the floor, easy fix. Otherwise very good shape for a restoration or parts. I thought about saving these but Im just too tall...

    Rough Country Lift Issues

    On my 11/69 FJ40 the PO installed a 4" Rough Country lift when he swapped in rebuilt axles out of a 77. I knew this was a cheapo lift and the shackle angles were off when I purchased it but the springs still had the stickers on them so I figured they would soften up a bit. I was just happy to...

    2014+ GM LV3 V6 - Looking for Info

    Trigger Warning: This is an engine swap question and while I am speaking hypothetically, it may offend purists. As I waiver between what I will or wont do to my FJ40, I keep running across the new LV3 engine. Unlike the LSx engines, GM actually made a Gen 5 V6. I know GM V6s have been very...

    Intro thread - Ryanwk628

    Ive been commenting and asked a couple questions since I picked up a 11/69 FJ40 last month, lurking even longer than that as I looked for one. I live in CT and have been a 40 fan since I was a kid when my great-uncle had one. He plowed with it and let it rot, but I still thought it was...
