Thanks for your comments Heather! No. No new projects for me at least for the near future. I have found that I have a lot of time to enjoy other things when I don't have to maintain my 40. As Alex stated, I have the greatest memories of fine friends and great times on the trails. I can still get...
Got it!
Bought an ARE topper from Travelier. Used, $500 installed. It will go on next Friday after it is painted. I think this is the same one you mentioned, John. The original owner had it on his silver Tacoma on Craigslist.

I did a search and could not find a suitable answer to my problem, so here goes:
I have a 1971 fj40 with an F engine. The engine is overheating and I can't find the problem. I have replaced the thermostat and tested the old one which still works. I also checked and tightened the fan belt...
James:
I have a '71 fj40 and just got through fixing my overheating problem.
What I found is this: I removed my 2 year old thermostat and testing in a pot of boiling water. I inserted a candy thermometer in the pot with the thermostat. When the water temperature reached 180 degrees the...
HAD A GREAT TIME AND made a new friend, Lenny (aka Boot).
Special thanks to Marshall for tackling my #@$%^& :rolleyes: electrical problem and making it work. Wish I had been there earlier but I got slung into some "domestic" duties.
