What is this line for? It is tied to the nipple on the 2nd picture, it is attached to the body and goes from one side of the frame to the other and back, nothing connected to the end. Truck was converted to 5.3L Vortec a few years back. 83 FJ60
So I built the trailer out of a Tacoma bed… Originally I put a rooftop tent on a rack, and then bought the aluminum shell and put a platform inside for a bed. I like the aluminum shell because it seems to be more airtight, but of course it is more bulky and has more air drag when I tow it...
I have an 04, 215k miles which I am going to trade in since I am not using it as much as planned, in the last 5k miles, I’ve done the TC/WP, oem steering rack & tires. The interior is probably a 6-7/10. The market is not too favorable at this time and thinking of getting a Camry. I still have...
I replaced the gas cap with new oem one on my vortec powered ‘83 fj60, sometimes it hisses for About 20 seconds if I slightly crack the cap open. My truck has a return line to the tank, no emissions stuff. I remember reading somewhere that drilling a tiny hole in the cap help? Can’t find that...
Having issues with my ‘04 LC when trying to adjust temperatures. If I have it on AC and adjust the knob to warm or heat, I can hear “activity” under the dash but temperature stays cold. Last winter when I used the heater, it took it a while to engage and once it did it would just stay super...
I’ve had four valve stems leak/break on the 40 steelies mounted on my FJ 60. I am running 33 x 10 50 x 15 BF Goodrich all-terrains. Wondering if there’s a good quality metal valve stem that you all running and recommend? I had the tires mounted at a local Indy shop tire shop. not sure if they...
My 04 has been seldom used in the past year, it sat for a while since the steering rack needed to be replaced. I replaced the rack, radiator and fixed a few other things about three months ago. Since then I started noticing blue smoke at cold starts after it sits for a few days, it never did...
So I ordered some new rotors since I’ve been redoing my front axle, knuckle rebuild, new bearings, new brakes, etc. The old rotors I pulled off were too old and rusty. I ordered some new Bendix PRT1510 rotors from rock auto and the stud hole diameter is slightly bigger than the rotors I pulled...
I’ve been working on the knuckles for my ‘75 40 with with ‘76 axles. The driver’s side steering arm upper bearing is fused to the “stem”, I’ve tried putting it on a vise and whacking it with a wood chisel and 3lb hammer. I can’t get it to come off. Any suggestions? Heat maybe?
So I’ve had this non-running truck for many years and finally started addressing some issues… the hacked up rear fenders is one of these issues that I am working on, why would anyone do this? I didn’t notice this until I pulled off the fender flares. Truck came 32x 11.50’s so it’s not that it...
Any have a used tube that goes behind the valve cover and is attached to the soft fuel line & filter on one end and the fuel pressure regulator on the fuel rail. I bent mine badly…
Motor is a 1988
shipped to Austin Tx 78748
Thanks you!

I recently ordered some Toyo u-joints for my 40 from Partsouq… Price was great at around $12 each, especially for Japanese made joints. These came in and look they look stout but I realized they do not have the zerk fitting to grease them, does anyone else have these in their truck? Is there a...
I am starting to put together my FJ40 again and after installing the front shocks I noticed that it is at a slight angle at the bottom, see picture (right side). Truck is a ‘75 but with ‘76 axles for the disc brakes. Will this angle stress the bushings? Or do I need shims to move the angle of...
Having a hard time finding Toyota front/rear motor mount bolts, bolts that attach mounts to the bell housing and bolt that attach tranny to bell housing. Any recommendations on where to find these? Or does anyone know the required size, thread pitch and length on these.
Thanks,

Does anyone, preferably south, have a 10-spline clutch alignment tool I can borrow. I need to use for the 4-speed/3FE combo. I can order one online but it will be till next week before it comes in
The 3FE project that I was going to start in two weeks, five years ago…. I left the flywheel outside in the elements and it rusted. I wire wheeled it and there is some pitting. What is you all’s expert opinion, have it turned or try to find another one?
I am in the process of desmogging a 3FE, I removed the air pump but debating whether to pull off the bracket as well. I know leaving it will not interfere with anything but want to remove it for aesthetics. So are the two bolts holding it down any longer than the other head bolts?
I am resealing the 3FE that is eventually going in my 75 FJ40…. I am replacing the rear main seal but want to make sure I don’t mess up the new one. Engine is on a stand & I have the oil pan and rear bearing cap off… can I just tap in the seal.? Should I use any type of lubricant to help it...
