Is there an easy adjustment to...

    2F Engine Rebuild?

    I am on St Simons Island w/ a '79 FJ that I have owned for 12 years. Engine just turned 100K, but due to oil leakage, I may need to look into engine work. Any references for shops in GA, SE SC or northern FL? Thanks in advance.

    1979 FJ40 2F Alternator Bracket Adjustment

    12/79 FJ40 w/ 2F. Took alternator bracket apart, & cannot remember how tensioner arm/bolt goes together. Not sure where washers or spacer(?) goes. Could someone send a detailed photo of it correctly assembled?

    FJ40 Capacitor btw battery bundle & engine (ground)

    Seems more like a factory wiring job. Ends up in an original-looking wire bundle just forward of battery.

    FJ40 Capacitor btw battery bundle & engine (ground)

    Was doing some radiator & hose work on a 12/79 manufacture date FJ40. I had to remove alternator to install new hoses. I broke a very small wire leading to a ground on the engine block. Other end of wire was to a small silver capacitor (maybe 5/8" long & 1/4" wide) that had a quick disconnect...

    Carpet

    Just replaced the front & rear carpets in a 1979 FJ40. My rig had carpets that covered the rear wheel wells. I called all of the usual suspects (parts places) & no one has any clue about where to find them. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
