Looking at the SOR brake line kit and was wondering what people’s thoughts were.
Will have to figure which one would work best for me as I have a 67 FJ40 that I converted to disc brakes.

I have bent and flared lines in the past, so that’s also a consideration.
Really think my FJ40 could benefit from some pin striping and like what @Fast Eddy did on his FJ40. Was wondering if anyone has done this recently and who are you using to do the work? Any "best" types of striping to apply? What art work do I supply or is it a conversation with the...
Been spending a lot of time under my 67 FJ40 doing suspension work and was wondering about how one tells if the steel brake lines need replacement.
I have converted the truck to 4 wheel discs a while back and the rubber lines are all good, but the steel — just a visual inspection?
Pulling out the FJ40 this morning and noticed a leak at both front tires today - oil is dripping off the grease zirks. Haven't done much investigating, but pondering why both sides would start to leak at the same time and almost at the same rate. Do these symptoms indicate new axle seals are...
Hi all,
Looking for some help regarding suspension bushings on my 67 FJ40. I had it on a lift and saw that the bushings are shot. The leaf springs are an Old Man Emu 2" lift kit that was installed about 10 years ago.
Here is a video Video Clip of the movement.
I have looked on line and...
Been looking at the exploded diagram on SOR and just can’t visualize the proper installation for the window wipes.
Does the metal strip go on top or underneath the rubber?! Hope the pictures show you what I am talking about.
Hi all,
Looking to swap out some old BFG 33x10.5 tires that are aging. I was looking online and found Kenda Klever R/T LT 33 X 9.50R15 Load C 6 Ply RT Rugged Terrain Tire and was wondering if anyone had tried these. I have a 2.5" OME lift and do no serious off-road - fire roads would be the...
Hi all,
Was looking at the steering setup in my 67 FJ40 and wanted to get some opinions on the setup and a bit of noise I am hearing. I have inserted a link so you can hear the noise when I rotate the linkage. Steering - https://jwp.io/s/UAfLKct5
I have a scout steering box.
The truck...
Hi all, can’t seem to keep my carb linkage from binding. Tried making a few adjustments to the positioning of bracket but still no luck. This is a City Racer carb, attached to an 85F2, sitting in a 67’ FJ40.
Any thoughts? Is there an alternative bracket setup for these?
HI all - I am changing out an older carb replacing it with a City Racer non-smog carburetor. I also purchased a new insulator plate from VintageTeqParts. After reading a few threads, I want to confirm that no additional gaskets are needed between the manifold and carburetor as the insulator...
Was driving the 67’ FJ40 last night and was fumbling around to find the heat pull knob and thought it would be great to have a bit of light to see dashboard. Would like adjustable lights and nothing that was going to make the dashboard look funky.
Did find a kit, picture attached, has the...
Hi all,
I have installed a used Fj60 2F 55 amp Alternator in my FJ40 (the engine in the truck is from an F2 85 FJ60). I excited the alternator with IGN wire from ignition switch to the IG terminal. Was charging at 14 volts, but alternator was making a grinding noise (bought many years ago and...
Hi all -- a while back I bought a used FJ60 alternator and now that I pulled it out of my parts pile I see it is missing the cover held in by the two screws.
Any chance someone has one kicking around on their parts bench.
Let me know -
Thanks,
Joe
Hi all - replacing batteries and noticed the other side of this hose disconnected on the passenger side of air cleaner. I am desmoged and was wondering if anyone knew where it plugs in. Can’t see an obvious place. The small diameter hose.
Was wondering if someone could take a measurement on where the red circle reflectors go on the rear quarter panels of an FJ40. I installed new quarter panels, so I have no markings to go by - this is for a 67 FJ40.
thanks,
The roll bar in my FJ40 is interfering with visibility at intersections. The issue is the bar that comes down past the wing window. The circumference is about 10.5” wrapped or a diameter of approximately 3.5”. I guess my first question is does this bar need to wrapped? Not sure if that’s a...
Anyone figured out a way to keep doors from swinging out if door stop hoops are gone? Same Issue for both doors and even a set of “backup” doors.
Welding would be an option, except I lack welder and welding experience.
Trying to figure at a short term fix....
