Hi All - looking for a Con-Ferr or similarly sized grab bar for the dash that works with a dash pad and still allows access to the glovebox. Preferably one with the single bolt on each side to minimize footprint on the dash (and new holes). Anyone have one available for sale and shipping to...
Hi All - Chasing all the wiring and had the cluster out. I've looked at almost every thread about ammeter connections and clusters and looks like my connections are reversed. Before I switch them is it correct that the + connection is the all white 10ga and the - is the white-blue 10ga? On...
My wiring barely resembles the wiring diagram since it has been hacked what feels like a thousand times over it's life. But somehow it works - well most of it. I've had it a year almost to the day now and am finally starting to tackle the spaghetti which leads me to the first question - how...
Hi All. I've had my '76 40 since February and the gas gauge has never worked. Been ticking through a list and started tracing wires since I'm waiting on parts. I replaced the sender this week even though it tested right with 3ohms resistance. Connections in the dash look tight and I pulled...
Hi all - I have a '76 40 with a weber 38/38 carb. The green connector for the water temp sender and wire to the carb melted. It looks like it was resting on the cooling union next to the water temp sensor. You can't tell from the photo but the green connector has a perfect indentation on the...
hi All - Just picked up the ARB diff breather kit. Went to remove the rear diff breather and it is longer than the front and passes through a brake bracket. It won't work with the fittings provided in the kit. Does anyone know what the breather valve looks like under the cap?
Has anyone...
Hi All. I searched for two days and can't find where this one posted before. I had my ignition cylinder out and need help identifying the spring or clip I found in the housing on the column.
My '76 hasn't had a key since I got it a few months ago. It's life before I got it was a mudder on...
Hi all. I have a 1976 fj40 and am looking for the thing at the end of the turn signal lever. Lost at some point and a PO replaced with something better than duct tape but it falls off, rolls around and just doesn’t feel right. Anybody have just the end thing available?
what is on there now...
I was replacing a leaking wheel cylinder and came across an issue I didn't know was out there until I searched here and it appears pretty common. Had to order an aftermarket cylinder since it looks like the one I needed isn't available from Toyota any longer. I installed it without any issues...
This is for the next poor guy looking for this answer. Yes you can see into the fuel tank to fish things out via the fuel sensor opening (at least on a '76).
Alright, I love these trucks but they always laugh at you when you least want it - probably deserved it though. I ran out of gas...
Hi All - I think I know the answer but wanted to confirm, I had a leak on the front transfer case output. Tons of great info on the site so felt pretty good about it. I dropped the driveshaft, unstaked the nut, removed the seal, siliconed everything, torqued it all down, staked the new nut...
My 1976 FJ40 has been smoking blue smoke since I bought a month or so ago. I'm replacing valve stem seals with a compression tool for the springs and pressurizing the spark plug holes to 80 psi. Once I figured out the process it was going pretty smoothly but when I got to plug 4, and a lesser...
