While running some erands today I stoped to get lunch and when I got back in my fj40 it didn't want to roll. I seemed to drive with the brakes draging or something. The next time I tried to stop no brakes, the pedal was rock hard but had little effect on stoping. As I limped home it didn't get...
Hi, I ' doing a head gasket replacement on a 1971 F motor and can't seem to figure out the headbolt thread size. They are bigger than a 12mm and smaller than a 14mm. When I look on some tap charts they don't list 13mm, so what size are they?
Thanks
I keep getting water in the oil. The plugs look clean,no smoke. The compression is between 160-175 and I can't find any other leaks.I checked with the search window and couldn't find anything close, any suggestions where to look or what may be causing this.This is a 1971 stock F motor as far as...
Hi, Are threir any somewhat simple ways to change the front pumpkin/gear set in the front of a 1971 fj40? Yes I looked in the frequently asked questions and tried the search function.
Hi, I am thinking of putting on a Old Man Emu soft suspension kit on my 71FJ. Has anyone tried this and was it worth the effort? Who might have the best price on a complete kit?
Thanks
Still chasing the oil pressure problem. Put on a 200 lb. gauge and it promptly pegged and broke that gauge. Top end seems to oil well no unusal noises. Any idesa??
Thanks
And the saga continues, I put new shoes and cylinders on the front of my 71Fj now when I torque down the rims the wheels won't turn. I then took the wheels off and put chalk on the edges of the drum on the outside edge of the shoes and put it back on still won't turn. I then tried a strap wrench...
HI, I didn't quite trust the factory gauges on my 71 stock Fj40
so I installed a set of Autometer mechanical gauges. When I start the motor the factory goes to about 3/4 and the Autometer pegs past 100 lbs. with choke on, at idle about 40 but if I hit the gas it pegs again. Any idea what causes...
Hi, Just purchased a oil transfer line kit for the transfer case to transmision but it did not come with directions. It looks like I just replace the fill/inspection plug with the supplied fitting. Two questions, do I fill both cases to the normal level first and second is this where the...
Hi, Finally got my stock 71fj running this weekend but a new issue showed up.The oil pressure, tempertaure, and gas gauge now go all the way to the right, not fast about30-40 seconds. I rewired the fj with a Quick way harness which was well labeled. I tried reversing the wires on the back of the...
Hi, Since my fj40 didn't have a gas tank I purchased a steel replacement from COOT, however it has two fittings on the side where the gas line comes thru the hump. I called COOT and they didn't know which to use, which one should I use, the one in the middle of the side or the one near the back...
Thanks for all of the suggestions but after two weeks I still can't get them straightened out. If anyone near Severn, Maryland can lend a hand I would be glad to pay for your time helping fixi them.
Hi, New to fj40 and am having trouble with my lights. I searched
previous post on blinkers but could not find an answer. The green wire that goes to the tail and front lights always has power. I traced it all the way back to the light swich and it is always hot. I tried a different switch same...
