    Headlights not working + 4Plus bumper and winch!

    They are on separate fuses. In mine, the light switch's headlight circuit and it's plugin got hot and had to be replaced / rebuilt. I changed it all to relays and only a small amount of power goes thru the switch now.

    Leaky gas tank.....

    That's a hard call. If it was me, I'd try a fix but it depends on the size of that rust blister and how much of the rest of the tank is affected. I also know what happens when welding gas tanks goes wrong.

    Y Crossover With Rams Head Manifolds / Chevy V8

    I did mine about 3 or 4 years ago and used the 2 in pipe to 2 1/2 collector. If you are using the corvette style ram horns, you need this little spacer and it was actually the hardest to track down.

    this was the hole in mine. I wouldn't recommend the repair technique though, it's just not for everyone. the repair went well

    Correct Center Caps for an '82 FJ40?

    I put the stock silver / black ones on my '76 with OE steel wheels, they are what was stock on it when I got it. I've not seen a gold variety of hubcap but I'm no expert on it.

    For Sale  '76 left rear ambulance door

    This was on my '40 when I got it, it was cracked and someone mudded it over. The mud that is on it is from the late 1970s. I was going to fix it when I painted it recently but managed to get a semi-new one. This one has the early-style square corners. Surface rust mainly top and bottom, its...

    Throttle cable conversion

    I am not exactly sure but I may have bought the one I was using from a Downey catalog back in the mid-1980s. I might buy a purpose-built one, I am about to do another round of work on it. Thanks for the link!

    Throttle cable conversion

    $8 at the local motorcycle shop. I tighten up the slot on the pedal a bit and it fits perfectly. The other end was already a graft so no big deal there. Thanks all!

    Throttle cable conversion

    Many moons ago and a much dumber version of me converted my 76 fj40 to a SBC. That involved changing the throttle linkage to a cable and finally that cable has broken at the pedal end. The kit I got back in the day was a complete petal with a cable assembly that replaced everything. From the...

    1982 FJ40 build (resurrection) Bluey

    I stand corrected, it probably is 857, not 854. the break was in '80. But Blue FJ40 is Still Best FJ40! Lots of info in the FAQ. FJ40 paint FAQ

    1982 FJ40 build (resurrection) Bluey

    She's a beauty! Paint code wouldn't happen to be 854? Cause in my humble yet meaningless opinion there is only one perfect fj40 color.

    Back together and about to test drive. I found an excellent rebuild vid on the YouTube on rebuilding Toyota 9.5 differentials. His method of setting preload and backlash are super simple.
