I had it shipped...
Just found out my recently new to me 82 does not have an 82 distributor...appears to have smaller cap. Do not see normal old points style.
Any guidance appreciated
Swear I searched for this and could not find a thread that got right to the answer.
Replacing the O2 sensors with OEM - need to know which side of the gasket goes down on exhaust, which side up to the sensor.
Original ones (I assume) were toast and essentially fused to the exhaust and could...
Front u-joint at the diff grenaded on me. Dropped the ds. Could tell the yoke looked a little banged up. When I got the ujoint out I saw this.
Is it supposed to have that "notch" in there? I would think not.
Is this yoke still beefy enough to be ok if I just slap a new u-joint in there.....or...
Have a green 97 40th for sale in north Houston area.
This truck was bought at auction in Dallas by my brother in law in another state.
I towed it back to Houston for him for his next visit. He has since changed his plans on his intended project and wants to sell it now.

North Houston, TX: 1976 FJ40 project - SOLD
SOLD - I have finally accepted that I need to sell my project. Work, family/kids, time, and other projects/hobies have resulted in it just taking up space in garage and me dropping a few $ on it when i get my hopes up from time to time.

Ok, obviously this is my first time draining what appears to be an original radiator.....removed the brass drain plug at the end of the drain tube sticking out of the bottom, thinking the coolant would come gushing out....nada.
Does it screw in to release a valve, or is mine just super...
Doing valve cover gasket while working on intake/egr carbon to chase down cel for p0401.
How does this look for 270k miles? Doesn't look too bad to me IMHO. I kinda expected worse.
This is the bottom tank (removed with cutting tool) of a 250k mile radiator from my 97.
I expected to see some sludge...but this looks good to me!?
Wondering if the PO had it replaced at some time....but the plastic looked pretty bad/old to me. What do you think?
The upper tank seal was...
I have 2 sets of wheels that I'd like to trade (locally - Houston area) for a set of factory fj40 wheels, or a 2003 Prerunner front bumper (factory or aftermarket).
Wheels are as follows:

When ordering a custom backspaced wheel that results in the rim being "reversed" in order to achieve the desired backspacing, does this place the air valve in the backside of the wheel? If so, is there an easy fix? Or does the wheel manufacturer drill the hole after the rim is reversed so you...
Anyone know the weight rating of the original Dunlop Snow Cruiser? Also, whats the general consensus on what minimum tire weight rating should safely be on a fairly stock FJ40.
Looking for replacements - there's a pretty wide range of weight ratings for similar to OEM sizes.
Thanks from a...
