    Is differential wear normal?

    I always thought the differentials and gear cases (transfer excluded) were indestructible.. is it normal a 40 rear differential can get so much wear the teeth will break?

    Lock front wheel when changing tires

    Silly question... had the front wheel in the air while changing a tire and i couldn't get it to stop spinning. In theory if i put the transfer in 4H and the hub in 4x4 and the truck is in gear or the handbrake engaged it shouldn't spin right? Could it be a problem with the hub (can't remember...

    BJ40 gurgle sound for about 10s when shutting off

    Has happened twice so far, so not consistent enough for me to jump out, pop the hood and pinpoint where the sound is coming from before it stops. When i first heard it i had just parked, pulled the choke and then heard a gurgling sound like water draining for about 10s but stopped before i could...

    Stuck in reverse

    Was about to descend a very steep hill and went to put it in the low gear and I think maybe it didn't enter completely and then I tried to put it from neutral into first and it wouldn't enter any gear, it appeared to be stuck in neutral. I took my foot off the clutch and the motor stalled. Tried...

    Popping out of gear at low speeds

    Recently had the clutch replaced but now have a problem where it pops out of gear when the truck isn't moving or at slow speeds.. so far I'm able to drive fine just keeping my hand on the shifter to keep it in gear until the truck is cruising.. ideas?

    Hard top ambulance doors with a soft top

    Planning on restoring my 79 hard top this year and was hoping to save some time/money and switch to a soft top (leaning towards a Bestop Supertop). Can the original hard top ambulance doors be refabbed into the half doors that work with the soft top? Has anyone done this before? What do y'all...

    Brake Booster Adjustment After Swap (Urgent)

    Been digging through the booster threads (and will continue) but thought I'd throw this out in case someone had an answer sooner. Need to get back on the road ASAP, so would appreciate any help. Have a 79 BJ40, all original drums. Swapped out the faulty booster for a Hilux booster and MC...

    BJ40 Glow Plugs not getting juice

    '79 BJ40 - When I switch on the glow I can hear the relay click, but neither the plugs or the resistor coil get juice. All the fuses in the panel are OK and the starter turns over (I'm able to start the engine cold by holding a wire from the battery to the glow plugs for 10-15 seconds)...

    Hard braking question

    If I do a lot of continuous braking (heavy traffic) braking becomes very hard... almost like I have to physically stop the truck with my body weight :frown: Thing is - which I don't understand - is this only happens when I'm not using the gas... for example it is worse downhill - brake and...

    Thoughts on PTO Winch for BJ40

    I have a pretty stock solid-top '79 BJ40. I recently was offered a non-Toyota brand PTO winch. That's about as much as I know. I'm going to look at it on wednesday but I thought maybe could get some advice in preparation. Since the truck is pretty stock (3500lbs?) I'm guessing I would need a...

    Centering pin in perches

    In the parabolic springs review, there is a comment: The hole for the centering pin in the rear perches is much larger than the head on the spring center pin. We used a piece of tubing that slid over the head of the spring center pin tightly and slid in to the hole in the perch tightly. The...

    Leaky Brake Master and other questions

    So, for the past couple weeks noticed the underside of the MC was wet. Seems to be getting worse with drops forming at the bottom. The MC is newish (about 6-8 months). A couple weeks ago had the clutch MC reconditioned, in order to install had to remove the brake MC and booster (there's one nut...

    Question on clutch master

    I had the clutch master replaced about a year ago. Recently I've noticed it losing fluid... it seems to be seeping from where the base is connected to the firewall. Looking closer I can see where the rubber top of the cylinder has been pressing into the underside of the hood. Most probably the...

    Reparing seals

    Quick question, what kind of adhesive do you use to replace seals - for example the seal around the kick vents or the ones around the vent windows?

    Overheating question...

    I have a '79 BJ40. So far no problems with temperature... this weekend went up the "aguacate" in Costa Rica - it's a pretty steep climb during the hottest part of the day (passed lots of overheated cars) and this was the first time the temp rose past 1/2 the dial. Anyway my question is - is it...
