Hey folks,
I’m an airline pilot and used this as my airport vehicle for the last year, however I’m moving to my domicile and no longer need it. I have owned several LC’s in the past and this is as rock solid as them come. I purchased it from the service manager of a Toyota dealership who...
A potential buyer would like to get a compression check done and it just donned on me that having the Sniper EFI might change the process a bit. Can someone enlighten me on the proper steps to accomplish this? I want to make sure I don't dump the learning files and/or spray unnecessary fuel into...
Mud Family,
This one pains me to write, but the time has come to pass Sunny on to a new caretaker. The wound is extra fresh since I just sold my 100 today as well, but life plans are dictating a change of investment. We are purchasing a truck and camper, plus the additional factor of a recent...
Mud Family,
I am going to update this post tomorrow, but I wanted to throw it out there tonight. I bought this Cruiser last month (Previous Ad Here) from Clay in ATL. It was everything I had hoped for...except for the fact that it's not a long bed F-250 that I now have to purchase. I drove it...
Hey guys, recently purchased a 100 that I need moved from ATL area to Texas. Seems like most of the “big” shipping companies are charging an arm and a leg. Any other ideas on who to use? Thanks!
Not mine! Just passing along since I saw it on CL....looks like it has lots of potential for a great price.

Hey guys,
Looking to round out the stable with a 100 series. We are in North Texas but willing to travel.
2000 or newer
150k miles or less
Stock
Clean Interior
Maintenance history is a huge plus
20k or less.
Let me know what you have! Thanks.

I'm trying to resolve a couple slight annoyances that I'm having with my Sniper.
1) When the 40 is cold or warm and I decelerate to a stop, the AFR jumps up to 18-20 while the idle goes to about 75 less than target. IAC is zero during that...
Hi guys,
I'm in need of a stock alternator pulley...apparently the one on it now is too small and cutting the belt. Any sources?
If there is an option to get a new alternator I would be open to that idea while I'm in there.
Thanks in advance!
Hey gang,
After selling my '74 a couple years ago I couldn't stop searching for another 40. Enter Sunny. She's a 1980 US Spec with 38,000 ish original miles. No big plans other than drive until something breaks, fix, repeat! We are in North Texas now so hopefully see you guys around.
One...
Hi guys,
After the lust for a vintage vehicle, I'm realizing that I'm a 40 guy and that's about it. I'm selling my 1984 S3 all original, 2.25 Diesel with around 66k original miles. Has loads of information and history compiled in chronological order. Within the last month I have installed new...
Mud members,
I've missed the boat on the last few great buys on 40's recently so I'm reaching out. Looking for a 74 or newer 40 that has original paint, minimal rust, 4 speed, and hard top. Priority is a strong running engine. Please let me know what you've got! Budget is 10-15k. Thanks!
Fellow Mud Members,
Unfortunately I am going to sell the pride of my fleet. It's a (Sep) 1974 FJ40 with an F1.5 that is in really great condition. Mileage is 59,169. To my knowledge, all original with a restoration/mechanical refresh about 5 years ago and I have kept it in it's original...
Experts I need your help,
Symptoms: Rough idle when choke is all the way off, drop off of power and stutter when accelerating
Corrections so far: New spark plugs, Okie carb "rebuild", carb cleaner sprayed through, new vacuum check valve and hoses
I need your help identifying this leak. I...
