    HELL YES, You NEED these!!! They keep the LC's Rims from cutting the lug studs off!! Think of the song: You Took A Fine Time To Leave Me, Loose Wheel!! Charles '74 FJ4- (Bought new Dec. 1973)

    Correct service parts for Warn 6 spline?

    A few years ago, I contacted WARN to see about getting a "proper" rebuild kit for the hubs on my '74 FJ40.. I was sent a gasket and an o-ring for each side, nothing like the "7309" kit pictured above!! (seems I paid something like $25USD for my "kit"!).. I called WARN back and was THEN told...

    Builds - Summer time Black FJ40 re-baselining

    I bought my '74 FJ40 in Dec '73.. I asked to buy the "Proper Factory Service Manuals" for the '74.. What I got were an "F Engine" and "Chassis and Body" booklets. Neither are "year specific" NOR are they what I would call "service manuals".. I can say, they are NOT for anything newer than...

    Zinc Electro-plating

    If one wants the "yellow" finish, the Caswell product works great.. However, if one wants a "silver" (true zinc looking) finish, then one will have to locate the "Blue Chromate".. Last I checked (years ago), Caswell did NOT offer a true "blue" (silver) chromate.. I had to obtain it from a...

    Insurance Question

    M3; I, also, have USAA.. have since they "opened-up" their service to "Dependents of Officers".. (back in the '70's) ALL of my vehicles were (are) "technically" either classic cars or pleasure vehicles. Plus, nothing is newer than (bought new) 1974 (the Landcruiser).. In '78, I...

    A decent sheepskin seat cover for a 40?

    Under the "Not Much Help" department.. A couple of years after I bought my '74 FJ40 new, I bought a pair of Sheepskin Seat Covers for the front seats.. These were quality made (in my opinion) in that the seat bottom, sides, seat back and sides were 100% Sheepskin.. ONLY the "back side" of...

    FJ40 Heavy Duty Skid Plates

    Downey: I've bought new a (Dec '73) '74 FJ40 that came stock with a/the heavy-duty (approx 1/4" thick) "skid plate" that, basically, covers the area (roughly) between the rear of the engine to (around) the rear of the G/Box~T/Case. (about four foot square) What "area" does your HD...

    Old Man Knox Build

    FlyFisher; I bought my 1974 FJ40 new (in Dec '73) then drove it (daily) for twenty years.. Since I wore-out two engines, I figure it's time to give the ol' "40" a through going over.. Charles 1974 FJ40.

    Has anyone heard anything good about this kit? (power steering)

    Electric PS verses "mechanical" power steering... Electricity is just something else to fail! Since I have a V-8 swap in my FJ40, I'm just adding/fitting the (proven) GM power steering system that was used on the original engine/vehicle! Charles 1974 FJ40.

    What type of offer would it take for you to sell.

    When people "offer" to buy one of my vehicles, the things I do are to (1) look in his hands (for the cash, which I've seen ONCE!!) and (2) look at what he's driving.. More often than not the person is driving some "beater" that he can't afford to fix/repair.. which means, he can't afford to...

    What type of offer would it take for you to sell.

    I'll also note.. in May 1967 I NEEDED a car for college.. I'd also been married for five months. I took a "POS" Opel Rekord down to the Foreign Car Wrecking Yard and sold it for $50.. My new bride was outside looking at the "Consignment Cars", spotted one that was "interesting looking" and...

    What type of offer would it take for you to sell.

    Major Nelson; I bought my '74 FJ40 NEW in Dec '73. It burned FOUR #4 Exhaust valves by 1978 (average "burn time": Nine Months!!) In 1978, I pulled the stock six cylinder and fitted a 1967 Cadillac V-8 & TH400. I used the Landcruiser to pull a 6000 lb Travel Trailer and logged over 300K...

    red beard

    Franklin40; When I install Cork Gaskets, I use "Copper-Coat" on both sides.. A bitch to take-off a few years later, BUT it doesn't leak oil!! Charles 1974 FJ40

    red beard

    I've never seen "bread" used to remove a First Motion Shaft Bushing.. Neat! I have used a pile of wet Kleenexes.. It's pretty "soupy", but gets the job done (same with plain ol grease!) Charles 1974 FJ40.

    SOR Seat Covers

    Waterboy; Check around your town, or even down south in Miami for an auto upholstery wholesaler.. They will often offer different "grades" of vinyl.. "quickie shops" use cheap chit materials, high-end shops offer higher quality materials (and cost more!).. The old adage "You get what you...
