    Wanted  '67 FJ40 steering box upper mount/bracket

    Ok, I was sprucing up my 67 steering box and lost the u-shaped upper mount. You know, the one that squeezes the steering box to the mount jutting off of the frame. Anybody got one that they could get rid of?

    For Sale  2010 FJ Cruiser 18.5k

    With a heavy heart I am putting our beloved FJ up for sale. We have a new Tundra coming and I can't keep both. Purchased in late 2010 and always maintained by either Panama City Toyota or World Toyota of Atlanta. This beautiful ride has seen almost all highway miles as we commute between two...

    parts swap for the e-brake?

    Ok, I have a 65 that I am dumping the F, 3speed and t/c out of and going with a SBC 350, TH400 and a 4speed t/c. All of the old stuff is toast and I got the newer stuff for near nothing. My question is.... can I reuse the parking brake assembly off of the 3speed t/c with my 4speed t/c? I...

    no go on the Geo Metro

    Well I tried. I have GM calipers front and rear. I thought I would try the Geo Metro booster and M/C but apparently it just doesn't move enough fluid. I like the pedal feel but the pedal just never firms up. I tried every way of bleeding the system (even bought a motive bleeder and then took...

    Disc front/ Drum rear- Residual valve needed?

    OK.....Just got through doing a disc brake conversion on the front axle(67 FJ40 w/SBC, ball and claw axle, JTO front disc conversion, Geo Metro booster, wilwood proportioning valve). One problem, I have to pump several times to get a firm pedal. I know this has been discussed ad nauseum but I...

    &%$*drum brakes-update1

    Okay, thanks to all for the previous replies. Where we are now: I adjusted all 8 wheel cylinders again paying special attention to get the slight grabby feel that signals the adjustment is correct. I checked to make sure that the master cylinder is the same bore size as the one it replaced-...

    %&$# drum brakes!

    Alright, my rig is a 67 40 with the stock single circuit drums at all four corners. My master cylinder had a slow leak (paint peeling on the firewall) but not anything too concerning. Anyway, I had to park the truck for a couple of months and when I got back to it, sure enough, pedal goes all...

    Cargo attach points?

    I am putting this 67 40 for my brother and am about to put in the pop-up cargo attach rings in the bed. My question is about the cup shaped covers that go on the bottom. One of them (just one) has a drain hole drilled in it. Has anyone else noticed this? And which corner does it go in? Why...

    Clutch? Pressure plate? WTF!

    Baffled. Rig was working fine. 67 FJ40 w/ SBC aa adapter to toyo4speed and t/c. Pulled it in the shop to pull off the carb and bolt on aftermarket fuel injection. Got it in and base tuned it. Took me about 4 days. Went to pull it out of the shop and decided just to push it backward the 20...

    Re-installing hard top/ gasket options

    So, after running my brothers 67 for a couple of years with just the bestop, he decides that he wants to put the hardtop back on it and leave it. I dig it out of storage and respray it, the sides, rear hatch and both doors. I got the whole rebuild kit for the doors from SOR, and replaced the...

    Wanted  FJ40 Transfer case for 4speed

    I need one of the later model FJ40 transfer cases (1974-80) with the 16 spline. Prefer a solid core that I can rebuild to go with my rebuilt engine and tranny. Thanks

    Opinions on transfercases

    Okay, bought a sweet 71 FJ40 project a couple of years ago. Zero rust, already set up for p/s, and V-8 mounts already welded in. Family illness sidelined it for a while but I have just started tearing back into it. The mission statement is: Build a light trail/grocerygetter/boattow rig for...

    carb fan? and what else?

    Okay new day, different problem. Finally got the a/c in and up and running in my fj40. It is one of those underdash units from Nostlgia air parts. The low and high side pressures are right on ( 25psi and 240 psi) but the air temp coming out of the outlet is only about 60 degrees (F). Is it...

    Parking brake debacle

    Okay, here it is. I am finishing up a body-off for my brother and have run into a snag. Wondering if anybody else has similar issues. The frame is a 67 and I swapped a sweet rust free 71 AZ body on to it . My problem is the park/emerg brake lever doesn't exactly line up where it contacts the...

    Wiring woes and the like

    Stock seats :Doh! Didn't pay attention

    I screwed up and didn't pay attention when I took my 65's stock seats apart for painting. My questions is about the scallops in the seat backs. Do they stick out or sink in normally? I have scoped out the forum and there are plenty of pics where they stick out, but I could have sworn that...

    To pull the column or not?

    Alright 40 gurus, bout to pull the NASTY east coast tub off of my bro's 67 and replace with the desert-find tub that I just got through painstakingly PORing, undercoating and desert dune beige painting. Question is I have all of the body mount bolts removed and steering wheel pulled; do I go...
