    DUI HEI Distributor

    What if you have vacuum retard, not advance (1975 FJ40)? Can you still use the DUI? Thanks.

    Front disck brake conversions

    Hello CrusinGA. I was just wondering ... will there be any modifications (i.e. steering arms) necessary if using parts off of a 79+ FJ40? Thanks.

    A 40 series landcruiser for sale

    I saw the same FJ40. It's been there a long time. I live near there. It looked rough, but it could still be an awesome trail vehicle for someone with the money and time. Unfortunately that's not me. I already have my 75 FJ40 project that I don't have time or money to spend on until this winter.

    Another Mini Truck Disc Brake Conversion

    Thanks everyone. I was just curious. I knew it would be expensive, but I didn't know how expensive. I guess it's back to looking for a good used axle.

    Another Mini Truck Disc Brake Conversion

    Maybe I am being naive, but has anyone done a mini truck disc brake conversion by buying all the mini truck parts you need from a Toyota dealership parts store? It may be expensive, but it may save the work of tearing down the parts from a used axle. Thanks in advance for your input.

    Mini Truck Front Axle

    I don't know if it comes with all that stuff. I haven't gone to the yard to see. But thanks.

    Mini Truck Front Axle

    A Toyota-Nissan parts yard wants $350 for a solid front axle from a 1984 4x4 pick up. Is that too much? Anyone know where to get it cheaper. It will be for a front disc conversion on an FJ40. Thanks.

    What are the symtoms of a head gasket going out?

    I would think that the oil level would have appeared to increase if your head gasket was going.

    Front Axle Rebuild Kit

    Thanks for your input everyone. I am now thinking that I should do a mini truck disc brake conversion. I was going to do the axle rebuild plus a total brake job. Is there anyone out there that believe drum brakes up front are still the way to go?

    AAP diaphragm

    Thanks xumFJ40. I replaced the diaphram last night and connected the vacuum hoses per the diagram in the Haynes manual. It actually runs a little better now, and the smoke at idle is gone. I just have smoke at acceleration now--which I think is the valve stem seals. It might be the carb...

    Rebuilt carb from Autozone or Napa

    Has anyone bought a carb from Autozone or Napa? It's for a 75 FJ40. Thanks.

    AAP diaphragm

    I recently bought a 75 FJ40. The PO removed the vacuum hose from the AAP diaphram attached to the carb. Fuel drips out of the diaphragm. After I replace it, is it ok to simply plug it with a cap? A couple of the symptoms--which may be unrelated--include smoke/soot from tailpipe and inability...

    Rancho Shocks

    What are your experiences with Rancho shocks--the 5000 and 9000? I am thinking about getting one model or the other. Thanks.

    Replacing valve seals in a 75 FJ40

    Thanks for the tips. I might try to do it sometime this month. I've never done this before and just wanted to know if there was something tricky that I should look out for. I asked a mechanic about it yesterday,and he wanted $195 ($65/hr. for 3 hours) to do the job--but I still have to supply...

    Replacing valve seals in a 75 FJ40

    Just finished doing a compression test. Numbers 1 through 5 came in between 140 and 142. No. 6 came in at 138. This was a dry test and without warming up the engine. If I remember correctly these are ok numbers. I didn't bother doing a wet test. It got dark so I would not have had time...

    74 Smog Equipment Compatible with 1975 2F?

    The PO desmogged the April 1975 Cruiser I recently bought. There are 74 smog stuff on sale. Will it work on the 1975 2F engine? Thanks.

    Replacing valve seals in a 75 FJ40

    Thanks Steve C. I have been researching how to do this job without messing up. I especially don't want to have to pull the head off. I read something about replacing the valve stem seals with ones that came with the 2Fs in the 1987 FJ60, because it is made with better materials. Anyone know...
