The ignitor in our '80 Toyota 4x4 truck went out. We use this truck as one of our 2 daily feed trucks to feed the wildlife on the ranch I manage. So, we need to get it running ASAP! We've called every salvage yard we can find around here and nobody has any ignitors. Big surprise.
After some...
I need an ignitor for a 1980 20R Toyota motor. Please email me (BrushyHillGuide at Gmail dot com) or text me: five one two, five eight seven, eight six five one.
Thanks!

The ignitor went out in our 1980 Toyota 4x4 truck and we use it daily to feed deer on the ranch I work for. If you have, or know where I can find, a ignitor for a 20R motor, please let me know. Feel free to email me directly at: brushyhillguide at gmail dot com or text me at: five one two -...
I'm wondering if there's an aftermarket brake booster that I can get at a chain auto -parts store, that can be easily adapted for a '75 FJ40? I've read some posts where members mentioned swaping out for a different booster that they simply needed to shorten the pushrod. But I'm wondering if I...
I don't get online very much, and this is the first chance I've had to get on here and check replies. THANKS SO MUCH for the great replies- as always- now I know I can get her running again- Thanks to y'all! I don't know what I'd do without ih8mud!:clap:

It looks like my '75 FJ40's brake booster may be dying on me- when I push the brake pedal, I'm getting a drop in RPMs! UGH! A buddy told me that it sounded like the brake booster and I've found a bunch of articles saying pretty much the same thing.
My first inclination was to go to...
I need some help, folks, with trying to diagnose a problem with my FJ40 ('75) - a problem that I haven't even seen yet, myself! My best friend just called and said that my cruiser is leaking oil out of the head on the eve of my taking all the guys that work for me down to the ranch to play...
A freeze plug on the top of the head (behind the carb) of my '75 FJ40 began leaking and when we tried to clean up around it, to see what was going on, the darn thing started disintegrating! So, I ordered a new freeze plug from www.coolcruisers.com. But I've never replaced on and I don't have a...
Jim-
Thanks for all your help and for this little tip!
What was happening was: that the inlet was ALL BUT COMPLETELY clogged by that little piece of crud so, when it was at an idle, it could get enough fuel and it would fill up the bowl and keep it full. BUT, when I would drive, it'd drive...
I've been on here, for the past 7-8 months asking...No, PLEADING for help with my '75 FJ40- it's been suffering from an intermittent 'bucking & jerking' problem. I've gotten ALL kinds of great help and suggestions from an endless array of IH8MUD members, but none of it ever solved the problem...
Ok, I found the fix- well, my tech buddy did! The thing is, he was so stumped for so long that by the time he managed to get the editor to work properly, he'd done so many things that he wasn't 100% sure which of the things he did that fixed the problem! In the end, though, the problem was in...
I was asking more from a horsepower standpoint than a cooling standpoint; although, it seems to me that an electric fan, which would run even after the motor is stopped, to help cool off the engine COULD be an improvement in the cooling system.
I was surprised to hear that a modern V8 motor...
I recently downloaded IE7 from microsoft and I can't post on IH8MUD with any of the computers that are running IE7! The only reason I can post now is that I still have 2 machines that run Internet Explorer 6.0!
What's the deal? Is there a fix for this? Has anyone else had this problem?
I...
I'm wondering if there would be any advantage to swaping my stock, belt-driven, fan for an electric fan? I've found that this is a popular swap on modern pickups- to increase horsepower by as much as 30hp. I'm curious whether anyone has ever tested this with 2f motor?

LandPimp-
Thanks man! That's what I thought, but since I'm such a newbie I wanted to check with some veterans. If this trip hadn't of come up so quickly, I might have looked at those IPF's; but I only get down to the ranch, where my LC lives, every couple of weeks for a day or two and I...
I need to pick up a set of aux. lights for my FJ40 today so I can install them while I'm down on the ranch. I've been looking at the Hella 500 and the Hella Black Magic; and the only difference I can see, aside from a $100 price difference, is in the 'look' of the lights!
As much as I'd love...
