    Stock 1974 FJ40 for an African roadtrip to Morocco?

Since then, in 2021 I took it in a trip across the Pyrenees along the French-Spanish border. In 2022 I took...

    Carburetor rebuild: ball bearing check valve missing

    Hi, I finally decided to try to rebuild my carb myself. Original carb 1974 FJ40, carb build date 3J2, PN 21100-60300 Carb was working ok but not able to get down to idle speed (minimum 800rpm and idle mixture screw doing nothing) so probably some junk blocking the circuit. Maybe an...

    Hi, Background : My 1974 FJ40 saw some good offroad actions in a 40 series meetup, then came back home normally, was parked (parking brake on) and sat for a month without being used (not planned but that's life...). So after 1 month I start back my FJ40 and drive directly forward, I actually...
