when I got it the speedometer odometer on my ’71 didn’t work, so I took it apart and cleaned and re lubed it. Still didn’t work. Speedometer cable was broken so just replaced it.
now the odometer still doesn’t work, and the speedometer just bounces around wildly.
🤬🤬🤬 (And of course you can’t...
My 7/71 FJ40 has the later three horn button steering wheel in fantastic shape.
anyone in the same situation i would like to trade my 3 button for a center button Steering wheel for the 7/71 and earlier.
(can’t make the horn work with the 3 button, is the only reason I want to change)
An odd request,

Steering gear is leaking like a crazy, and pretty sure it needs a gasket, but the Haynes says to take it to dealer for any overhaul.
Anyone with experience in regasketing one of these have any warnings?
1971 manual steering box is leaking from the front and the side (with adjustment nut)
all of the nuts were totally lose (don’t ask) so I tightened them all up, and it’s still leaking.
been looking but can’t find anything on the subject, are there gaskets for this or is something else wrong?
I just got my first FJ40 and it has excessive play in the steering.
went to go adjust it, and low and behold there is no adjustment screw. The lock nut is there but where the adjuster screw is supposed to be it just has a square 10mm bolt! It doesn’t adjust, just loosens and tightens.
what in...
