    Advice on putting a 74 tub on my 78 fj40

    From what I can gather, the 74 will line up with all the frame mounts. I gather the holes will also line up with my oem seat brackets, tranny cover, roll bar. Is that correct? The dash will be a little different as it doesn't have the seatbelt light and the defrost vent holes on each side...

    Any ideas of what this bracket on my frame is for?

    Top of the photo, above the tow hook holes. One on each side. I have looked at some other stock photos and haven't seen them on others (and the bolts aren't stock). Any ideas?

    Anyone have a good starting point for me to learn about de-smogging? Pic of my engine...

    1978. I know I'm missing the VSV, but it looks like I have a ABV, which is sometimes removed during de-smogging? I'm not really a mechanic, but I'm always wanting to learn. I'd like to know how my 40 was de-smogged, what is missing, what they did, etc. just to make sure I'm not overlooking...

    Are these holes/bolts on my wheel wells spec? If so, what are they for?

    They look like OEM toyota bolts, but they don't seem to do anything. I'm taking this thing apart and I can't remember anything being there, and there isn't anything underneath supported by these bolts. 78 US spec 40. That's a top-down pic of the drivers side rear wheel well, the four empty...

    Anyone know where to find pics of what this is supposed to look like?

    1978 hard top upper sides/rear cross member. From what I can tell, this rotted area on the hard top is supposed to be flat/follow contour, correct? Hoping to see a pic if anyone has one/knows where to look of what a clean one looks like. Also, it looks like there's a seal on the ends of the...

    Factory Grab Bar Question...

    From the threads I've read on here, there really weren't any factory grab bars on North America models, is that correct? As I am trying to take this thing back to factory, I want to confirm that this isn't original to my 78 40. Thanks for any input!

    Well, I've come to the realization that I just need an aluminum tub. Looking for pics of projects with aqualu with hard top and ambulance doors...

    I started my search for a 40 in fall of 2021. I wanted it be pretty much stock, with a 2F and 4 speed. I found one in Spring of this year and bought it. I knew it had lots of rust, but the price was right and I could just buy some replacement panels and be on my way. Well, as I keep digging...

    Rusted out fender. Fix or replace?

    Still chipping away at this 78. Taking a turn toward this fender, other fender is much better. I'd rather fix than replace this fender. Anyone have any tips on how to tackle this? Decent metal and welding skills, just looking for some pointers. OR...not worth the time, just search for a...

    My speedometer started working again, but on its own...

    Hadn't been driven in a couple of years before I bought it, got it running, been enjoying driving it. When I first started driving it, the speedometer bounced all over the place. The guy who helped me get it going again said the thing wants to be driven, so try to drive it around the...

    Anyone want to play "name those parts?"

    Going through the bags of parts that were sitting in the back of my 40. I could identify some, but thought maybe you guys could help me identify these other ones or where they go? First pic: Rectangular rubber thing, it looks like some sort of bumper or something? I think the bendy thing next...

    FJ40 factory speaker location?

    Done a few searches, but can't seem to find anything. The FJ40 had a factory radio option, so obviously they had the optional factory speakers somewhere. Anyone know where those were mounted/located from the factory? The wiring diagram I saw showed two speakers. I have seen a billion threads...

    Yeah, dumb question about aluminum washers and transfer case...

    I just built a transmission fill to transfer case fill bypass hose using bsevans specs in this thread (thanks, bsevans!): https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/tranny-to-transfer-case-bypass-hose.95870/ I know to use the aluminum washer 90430-A0003 on the fill and drain plugs on the t-case. My...

    FJ40 Defrost Guide Vents...

    In the back of my newly acquired 78 FJ40, under a pile of stuff, I found the defrost guide vents. Looks like one of them is broken, and the guide/directional diverter has separated from the front. There are five holes along the back where it looks like plastic rivets used to hold them...

    Bottle jack lever storage location?

    I've searched and searched, so I apologize if this is an obvious answer or has been answered elsewhere. New-to-me 78 FJ40, I know the bottle jack goes under the driver's seat, the two extensions go on the passenger side behind the rear jump seat, where's the storage location for the lever? Am...
