    Anyone know of a self voltage regulated bolt in alternator replacement for a 1971 FJ40? My stock alternator is dying and underpowered.

    So my stock alternator is dying and producing erratic high AMPs as well as blowing external voltage regulators. I’m planning to add a Vintage Air AC system and need at least a 60 amp alternator, preferably one with an internal voltage regulator and one that bolts right in. Does this even exist?

    Do I need to change my leaf springs if I lift my stock 2003 Tacoma prerunner 6 inches ?

    I’m lifting my 2003 Tacoma Prerunner with a rough country 6inch lift. Do I need to change my leaf springs or can I keep the stock ones? I’ve heard that people have problems with their steering stem being too short after the lift. Anyone encounter this?

    Anyone know where this leak is coming from? I’m not sure if it’s the oil pan?

    Leaks, leaks, and more leaks! Anyone had a similar leak on their 40? What could it be? I’m hoping the oil pan? This thing has more leaks than a 90 year old with colitis.

    Older WARN winch issues. How do I get the motor out of the housing?

    For the life of me I can’t figure out how to get the motor out of its housing on this old WARN winch. Secondly the motor is full of grease/oil. I’m assuming the motor should be dry? The round plate on the top is being held in by the assembly at the top of the spindle. No idea how to take it off...

    I’m adding a light bar and pod lights to my 40. Where can I wire for power? I used an add a fuse on my tacoma

    This may be a noob question but where are you guys getting power for your light bars and accessories? I wanted to connect to my fuse box but our fuse boxes are not exactly friendly to piggy backing off for power by added an “add a fuse” any tips or recommendations ?

    Has anyone done a bench to bucket seat conversion on a 71 or earlier fj40?

    Well my conversion is kinda centered around a Tuffy center console I picked up today from Facebook marketplace. I want to do a bucket seat conversion. Anyone attempted this? Does the fuel tank have to be relocated? The bench seats don’t really provide any support while driving.

    I just want to change all my 1971 FJ40 drum brakes to disc. Information overload on how to do this. Everyone has a different opinion about it?

    How do my brakes look. Is that a worn out brake shoe? I was just going to buy the $1200 disc brake conversion kit from JT Outfitters, but from what I've read on here, it not as easy as bolting everything it. Can someone that has made the conversion, tell me the easiest and best way to go about...

    I have a 1971 FJ40. It’s starts fine when it’s cold. Once I run it And it warms up and stop, it’s doesn’t start easily.

    Once my FJ40 has been run and warms up and then I stop somewhere. It takes a while hell of a lot of cranking the starter to get it going again. What could that be? Anyone have anything similar happen?
