    Fj40 over head tray from SOR

    I have one in my 76. I just jammed it into place. No bolts. I'd line the inside with something to avoid whatever you have in there rattle. It's more useful to hang a cb or scanner from than to use as storage.

    Fj45 - 2F not starting

    That engine compartment has a lot going on but it sounds like the timing is off. Forget about the bb. Pull a plug and hold your finger over that cylinder while someone turns it over. When you get compression blowing out of that cylinder, stop. Check that the piston is at top dead with a...

    Great new tire option for running OEM rims

    I have had kenda klevers on my fj cruiser in the 17" size for 40K miles. They wear like iron but they are loud and one recently became egg shaped.

    Removing adhesive without damaging paint?

    Nice truck. Digging that full float rear. I have used oven cleaner with success. Don't get it on aluminum or plastic though.

    2F Knocking noise at idle?

    I don't want to create any animosity on a forum I just joined. In my experience these engines aren't delicate flowers. What happens when he drops the pan and can't find anything wrong with the bottom end? Now he will focus on the top end. Why not eliminate the possibility of problems from the...

    2F Knocking noise at idle?

    That doesnt answer my question. I've owned a wrecking yard for 23 years and this a real basic techniques to diagnose an engine knock. I just want to know what playing with fire means? Doesn't make sense. I'm open to learn. We use a squeeze bottle for a fuel pump or a windex bottle sprayed...

    2F Knocking noise at idle?

    Curious how you would think that this is playing with fire.? This is a tried and true method of relieving pressure on the wrist pin / pistom to eliminate that possibility from the equation.

    2F Knocking noise at idle?

    Pull #6 spark plug and let it idle. It will be loud but you should be able to tell if the knock is still there or got quieter. If thats the case then it's probably wrist pin or piston slap.

    1966 FJ40 with big window 1bbl: Engine dies when you push in the choke

    Sounds like a vacuum leak. Have you sprayed carb cleaner around the base of the carb and your tc shifter hose to see if the rpm increases? Those adapters are notorious for leaking. Where does the black rubber hose from the adapter go.?

    2F Knocking noise at idle?

    Sounds like a wrist pin issue if you haven't lost oil pressure. Were they replaced during the rebuild?

    New owner / member sky blue 76 in TX

    Hello, Wanted to introduce myself. After retiring from the Navy I moved back to my home State of Texas and flat towed my 76 the 2500 miles behind my FJ cruiser. It's about to get air bags, power steering and A/C. Which club serves the San Antonio area? Thanks
