    I'm toying with the idea of trading my early rust-free, dent-free '70s FJ40 hood for one that would be period-correct for my '78. Does anyone have a nice '78-ish hood? (I have included pictures of my current hood.)

    '04 Tacoma FSM? Diagram needed

    Hi. Recently the driver's door on my Tacoma was stuck shut, so after an online search, I determined that a broken spring in the lock mechanism was causing the problem. The good news is that I managed to open the door. The bad news is that I cannot figure out where the replacement spring fits...

    '04 Tacoma glove box re-install?

    I couldn't find any obvious obstructions, so I removed the two lower screws, took the box completely out, and then reset everything. So far, so good . . .

    '04 Tacoma glove box re-install?

    Hi. The blower motor in my Tacoma started making noise, so I took it out and discovered a mouse nest. In order to better access the motor while removing it, I "dropped" the front of the glove box down so that it was hanging, but I did not remove the box completely. After putting the motor back...

    Hi. If your business is located where I think it is, I spent many hours in the '80s going around in counter-clockwise circles there. Dave

    air/fuel sensor removal -- help

    Hello. I just tried to replace the air/fuel sensor on my '04 Tacoma, but I could not remove the nuts that hold the sensor on to the manifold pipe. My theory is that twelve years of extreme heat have "welded" the nuts to the studs. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to loosen the nuts...

    6-7 Miles to Gallon 73 FJ40

    One of the vacuum hoses on my '78 came undone a few years ago. As a result, my mileage dropped dramatically. One thing worth noting, however, is that with the unplugged line, my 40 would not run without the choke on.

    Summer Cruiser sigthings....

    I saw two FJ40s in Freeport, Maine, last Friday. One appeared to be a late-'70s model with new-style jump seats, camo paint, and no top. Not long after that, I saw a red 40 while I was getting on the highway. This one looked like an early -'70s model with full hardtop. Somebody was hauling it...

    '78 FJ40 wiring issue -- easy solution?

    As promised, here I am to update you on the issue I was having with my 40. First things first: Those mysterious red wires were originally hooked up to some fog lights that the PO mounted on a custom bumper. I changed the bumper back to stock and removed the lights many years ago, but I'd...

    '78 FJ40 wiring issue -- easy solution?

    My '78 will not start. The battery is new, but I don't even get a "click" when I turn the ignition key. While trying to diagnose the problem, I found some wires that might have been connected at some point. Please look a the photo below. 1.Should the two red wires be connected? 2. Where does...

    Sorry about what happened . . . It's too bad you hadn't searched this site before you agree to do business with slick Tedd. Lots of us have had similar experiences, but fortunately for us, they were on a MUCH smaller scale. If you did not authorize him to charge you an extra $30,000 beyond what...
