a FAMILY EMERGENCY FORCES ME TO SELL MY fj40 PROJECT THAT i HAVE BEEN WORKING ON...
88000 ORIGINAL MILES, It runs and drives...a little body rust, but very little! The two rockers each have about 2x2 inches worth. The rear sill needs a little attention and the floors are perfect, minus the very...
Have you decided on parting the truck out? I like the looks of those stock wheels. You said you have some different stock wheels available? 20.00 each? Do you know if they are disc or drum? I need some drum wheels for my 40. I live in Black forest so not to far from you. let me know on...
A couple questions...be gentle!:meh:
1) My FJ40 has a soft top with a rear tailgate...
On the tailgate, the beveled edge on the inside of the tailgate doesn't allow for snaps to be tightened with a flat nut...advice?
2) Also since this tailgate folds down, it has the two chains, one on...
anyone have any stock steel wheels for a drum brake FJ40? Possible a set of good shape 33" or 35" tires to fit? Anyone want to trade a PTO winch off of my 40? Let me know! Brandon
anyone know any local sources that have a center arm rebuild kit for a fj40? Even just the bushing? Mine is a bit tired....
Let me know if you have any sources local before I call SOR or MAF.
Thanks,
Brandon
Cool cruiser! No worries on hijacking my thread....good to see some other 40's in the springs area.
Well i put in the roll bar and mounted in the rear jump seats yesterday.
Issue # 1 now my radiator is having issues... I will take it out and fix it when the weather gets better... (we're in...
Make sure that you shifter rods are tight, with no play. Second my three speed had a bad fork bearing and it was replaced a couple months prior to me getting my 40. If they are ok, and if you have had it serviced regularly, I would take the tranny out and replace the input bearing and...
I can't speak for everyone else, but I just took off a 2 1/4" cherry bomb the PO installed and replaced it with a flowmaster and now have a better sound, 2 to 3 more MPG, and better power response.
Anyone have a FJ40 roll bar...clamp together is just fine?
Greasable shackle bolts, or aftermarket shackles?
Anyone have 15"x8" white spoke wheels can be used/and in need of paint...I need 2 or three?
Any good places in the Springs to pull a power steering unit/system?
thanks brandon
Haha yep!!! Farmer's special...it got the cruiser home though.....sadly already cut apart and all i kept was the angle iron! Haha pulled it off and saved about 40 off the cruiser...free mod indeed!
Well I tried tightening the bellcrank and it was tight...so I think the problem is in the steering box/steering knuckles/tierods
Oh and finally got some pics!!!
Hi Everybody again
To answer your questions, no I haven't figured out how to post photos. I am located at Union and Academy. I am always up for wrenching and getting any and all advise! I will work on getting pics posted tomorrow morning! ;p
To update, I am making sense of the original...
Hello I live in Colorado Springs CO, and just picked up a 1970 FJ40 with straight F motor, 3 speed, hard top, and original pto winch. I have started going through the front end (steering problems). Just thought I'd say hello and that I am trying to bring an original old cruiser to life! If...
I recently found a 1970 FJ40 in original condition! But it is missing stuff! I am building this as a senior thesis project as I am graduating from University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, and was in need of/found an engineering project!
