On the FJ40s that came equipped with an OEM roll bar, did Toyota use additional backing plates on the bottom side of the tub underneath the topside roll bar mounting plates?
I’ve seen this used in a number of other vehicles with aftermarket roll cages. Wasn’t sure what Toyota did from the...
So I ran the recommended brake line clamping test. The results were:
Rear soft hose clamped- Same spongey pedal feel. No improvement.
Front soft hose clamped - extremely hard pedal but almost ZERO actual braking. When I say hard pedal, I mean it you could barely detect ANY downward pedal travel.
Weren’t getting any fluid to the rear brakes at the fitting where it goes into the rear drum assembly. Ironically the brakes were firm and stopped well at that time but I was obviously only engaging the front brakes.
I changed out the rear flex line with a new brake line. Ran an entire bottle...
Do those Brake line “T unions” that are mounted on the axle housing ever go bad? I wouldn’t think there are any components in them to fail but again I’m not as familiar with the Landcruiser parts as I am with other vehicles.

Under formal driving conditions the brake pedal is very soft “squishy” on the first press and then you can pump it a few...
Hi Forum,
Looking for recommendations on best place to source a fuel sending unit for a 1973 FJ40 fuel sending unit. Was hoping to source one through Napa, Oreillys, etc to avoid the crazy shipping and handling costs these days but none of them seem to carry them. No luck with Summit or Jegs...

I found a couple threads on here that referenced a vendors kit but it had been discontinued when I looked it up (can’t remember the vendor offhand)
Any feedback appreciated!
