I have a '77 FJ40 that I finished restoring about 6 months ago. Since my girlfriend is moving in with me, I will probably have to sell it sometime soon. It is basically a stock 4 speed with a few mods.
New fenders, wheelwells, driverside floorboard, bed, rear panals, rocker panals, steps, rear...
I have a stock 77 fj40 that has always passed the smog testing in North Carolina. Unfortunately, however, when I had my engine rebuilt last month, the guy did not put most of the emission hoses back (in fact some are missing). I called the guy and he said he wasn't sure where they all go. I...
Can anyone identify the hose that attaches to the air cleaner assembly from below and has what looks like a molded asbestos attatchment at the bottom. I think it's a hot air return. (77 FJ40)
Does anyone know what this actually does ? Is it necessary ?? If so, does anyone know where to...
Does anyone have comments about the 38/38 weber carb that JT outfitters is selling? I'm thinking about getting one for my 77fj40 (un-modified 2F engine). They say that you can use the stock linkage, and it's a bit less $$ that others I have found.
Here is the link:

I'm finally getting around to upgrading the ignition on my 77fj40 but i'm not really sure what the h_ll i'm doing. The previous owner has a Mallory ignition box wired to the original coil and the wiring looks really bizzare. I would like to go with an electronic ignition set-up and don't know...
I have a lot of play in the steering on my '77 fj40. I've had it looked at by a few people and they say that the problem is in the steering box and that it needs to be adjusted. I have seen several posts that talk about steering box adjustments, but haven't been able to find any info on how to...
Does anyone know of someone who can rebuild a 2f engine for my 77 fj40 in Western North Carolina? I haven't found any mechanics/repair shops that really want to deal with it.
Thanks
I appreciate the help and the links to the photos -- can't find anything that looks even remotely like a horn relay. My rig has had a lot of electrical changes by the previous owner, but since the horn is the only thing that doesn't work I think I'll leave it for now. I have a friend who was a...
The horn on my 77 fj40 doesn't work. I have checked all the connections on the steering wheel so I think maybe I have a bad relay. This may sound stupid, but I'm not exactly sure where the horn relay is, and I can't find it in any of my tech. manuals. Is it the relay
on the engine side of the...
It was an aftermarket unit (from CCOT), but according to the website the ohms are the same. Anything I can do to adjust it, or do I need to buy an OEM unit??
Thanks
I installed a new sending unit and poly tank in my 77 fj40. I filled it with about 5 gal. of gas and drove around for quite a while. The next day it wouln't start and I noticed that no fuel was getting to the carb. I checked all the fuel lines and they were fine. The gas gage read 1/4 tank...
Is there an easy way to tighten the steering on a 77 fj40 without taking apart the whole steering column? My steering is so loose that its getting dangerous to drive.
Thanks.
This may be a stupid question, but I have been working on my cooling system and I'm not sure the correct way to hook-up the overflow tank. Right now, the hose from the bottom of the tank is attatched to the neck of the radiator and the hose from cap on the overflow tank is not attached to...
