Engine turns on with ignition key. Won't turn off. Dash lights turn off with ignition key. Had to pull the stop lever to turn off. What should I check?
Noticed small puddle under 1972 FJ40. Turns out to be fuel that is seeping from the fuel tank. Not leaking from drain plug, rather from around drain plug. Saturating the Line-X like coating done during a PO restoration. Drained the tank. Removed the seat, tank cover and tank and found rusty...
My 78 2F always starts right up and runs great unless it sits for a week or two or longer. Then it can take several minutes to turn it over. I guess what fuel is in bowl evaporated. Is this a fuel pump issue? Any potential fix?
Just had a bed bow rack fabricated. Should be strong enough as a roll bar and to carry accessories with a Molle board. Entire rack needs powder coating and can be easily removed.
Tell me your thoughts.
Waiting on soft top canopy cover to be made.

This one on block. Near oil dipstick. Is it a glow plug sensor?
This says flasher. Under dash. Not hooked up. My turn signals work. What is it for?
Fairly new to FJ40s. Moderate mechanically challenged.
How do I determine if shocks need replacement? Mine rides pretty good on smooth roads and pretty bumpy on rough dirt roads with potholes. Is this typical to FJ40-mine is 1972 with OME 2 1/2 lift and 33x9.5x15 BFGs?

Anyone have any experience with OEM vs SOR weatherstrip for 45 doors? I have a 1979 HJ45 Australian with wind vent window. OEM is about $100 more per side. Worth it or is SOR good quality?
Changed the oil filter cartridge on my 1979 HJ45 diesel H engine for first time. Even after reading everyone’s tribulations it was more fun than I deserved.
Have a 1972 FJ40 with a 2F engine with a 1972 Aisan carb. It ran very rich when I got it with black soot coming out the pipe and terrible gas mileage. "High altitude" jets were replaced with smaller jets and carb was adjusted to run lean. Now its clean and gas mileage is much better and no...
