My mistake, your win.
I’ve got brand new standard length 5degree black powder coated rock sliders from RCI up for sale. They looked comically small on my 2020 double cab long bed when I raised the driver side slider to the frame. No bolts installed and powder coating looks fine. Passenger...
I find myself with mixed feelings and lost. So I’m reaching out to fellow patina enthusiasts. My 71FJ40 has enough patina on the outside. Ive drunk the coolaid and rub fluid film on it a couple times a year. Where I’m struggling with is what do do on the inside.
I drive my 40 and want to take...
Hey mud,
I’m working on planning my fuel system overhual on my early 71. The rig has an occasional fuel smell in the cab. Sometimes the gas cap will turn 90degrees, sometimes it will turn 270degrees. I’ve been researching and poking around the 40. So far, I have identified the following as...
Anyone know what jerry can holder made this mark? I’ve been told it’s possibly a con-fer holder. Anyone know more details or where I can get a replacement?
Hey LC community, I’m looking to go through my brake system (parking brake included) and bring it up to snuff. Brakes work pretty good, but the hard lines have a couple dents. Also the parking brake is cr&p. I want to make this more reliable and potentially upgrade to fj60 disks waaay down the...
Hey guys,
I’m looking at moving up to 16” rims eventually and have been looking at various oem lookalikes (city racer, vintiques) and realized there are no openings in the rims. Not really a big deal, except the only way I am comfortable using the hi-lift jack is by hooking into the wheels with...
I am wondering if I should put my theromostat in and would like some opinions.
I currently run no thermostat and have overheating issues when I go above 60mph. Have a 1969 1F engine. Since I live in Texas and it is real hot all the time, I figured if I don’t have the thermostat in I will have...

Saw these and find them interesting. Just curious if anyone has used them. The look hokey and I can’t really imagine them on the vehicle.

Hey all,
I’m thinking about upgrading my single barrel carburetor to one off a fj60 2f. I’ve got a ~1969 f155 in my 1971 fj40. Probably add Pertronix to that to get rid of the points.
How hard is it to switch the linkage?
Is it worth it?
Anyone done this before?
Hey guys,
Looking at getting a new dash cluster as the one that I have is a POS aftermarket cluster that is falling apart. I have a jun 71 body with a 67-69 engine.
Are there specific years that I should get to make things easy / less painful if I am going to buy a dash cluster?
Any threads...
Been trying to figure out what is original on my engine and have given up. This is a 1971 jun 40 with a F-247543 block. I am pretty sure the previous owners have done some modifications and I am trying to get this closer to a version of stock.
Things I can tell:
- Carburator is a single...
I am starting this build thread to document my project and try to enlist help from those smarter, more knowledgeable, and bloodier knuckles than I. While i have some mechanical experience, it is a torrid history of mostly doing things slowly (typically 3-4x the quoted time) and occasionally...
Hey guys, I’m considering getting an FJ60/62, but had a question about the back cargo area. My goal for the vehicle would be to have a rig that I could lay down in and sleep in on road trips. From my reaseach, the rear cargo area is 72 inches (6ft) in length. I am 6’3” inches, so I would need...
