    11/72 Transmission Boot

    Hi All, I have an 11/72 FJ40 and I'm looking for a replacement outer rubber transmission boot cover. As folks know, the opening on the transmission hump cover changed between 71 and 73, and no one seems to stock an OEM or aftermarket boot for this one year. I did see the below on ebay and...

    For Sale Free F155 Engine (Nor. Cal)

    Thanks for the response. I'm going to keep working on freeing it up as I feel the same as you about throwing something out. I'll keep you posted and if I can't get it free, I'll pull the parts noted. Anything I don't keep will be free to a good home provided the shipping cost is covered...

    For Sale  Free F155 Engine (Nor. Cal)

    Hi All, I have a F155 engine available for anyone who wants it. It turned over when it was given to me many years back, but after sitting idle these past years (in a garage), I can no longer turn over the engine. Others have told me it's probably due to moisture causing surface rust between...

    Old "Frozen" Engine - what to keep?

    I'm looking to get rid of an F155 engine which was given to me many years back. The engine appears to be frozen as I can't get it to turn with a socket wrench attached to the crank shaft. I recall it turning over at the time I picked it up, but no amount of standing on a breaker bar + pipe...

    FJ40 cup holders - Give me some feedback please

    Love the designs and ideas. I went the easy route and just mounted a Tuffy cup holder to the front of the console (Standard Drink Holder). It fits good and standard cups and water bottles don't hit the shifter. I have a second one I'm planning to mount on the rear swing out door behind the...

    Unobtainium

    ...truly awesome work... Regarding the inner boot, I have an 11/72, which has a slightly different cut-out. About a year back I picked up a used Inner boot (model 9/73-1/79) and I had to cut it a bit and force it to fit. It's better than nothing, but does anyone know if they made a inner...

    Radio and speaker advice

    I installed 5.25" speakers in the front mounted just under the dash using metal brackets. You can hardly see them unless you're looking for them. In the rear, I have two 6x9s in boxes to the left and right of the rear heater on the floor in standard truck boxes. I can share pics if...

    Ooooohhhhh Baby, Bilsteins what a ride

    How would these compare to basic shocks you get from Napa for a stock setup, for road use vs. off-road? I purposely went with a basic shock with the thinking that it would give the best all around ride on the road, but if there's a better mouse-trap out there, then I'm interested.

    Aisan Carb Question - What is this hole?

    It looks like there are two different throttle assemblies, including one from 9/69-12/74 and one from 1/75-7/87. From the pictures I've seen, it looks like the earlier version has a hole in the center plate upper side, where as the later does not. The throttle body that I had on my 11/72...

    Aisan Carb Question - What is this hole?

    Without pulling the carb apart again, I'm not sure what feeds this port. I know the bolt that goes in from the bottom has a hole in it to feed vacuum to the power piston, but I'm not sure if it is somehow connected to the small port on the base of the throttle body. I recall reading/viewing...

    Aisan Carb Question - What is this hole?

    Hi, On my 11/72 FJ40, I just swapped out my carb base on my Aisan carb with a vacuum ported unit from SOR. In doing the swap, I noticed the new carb has a vacuum hole in the center that was not on my original base -- see pics below and the associated passage way in the upper body. The...

    Surging on Acceleration

    Coming back to this thread, I was able to correct the surging issue. I opened up the carb to check the various passage ways and discovered that the bolts between the lower throttle base and the carb body had loosened up to the point where leaks seemed obvious. At the time, I also swapped the...

    Carb Venturi Sizes

    Actually, the more I stare at the two venturis, I'm not sure there is a discernible difference in the size of the atomizer holes. Depending on the angle that you look at the nozzle it can look slightly bigger or smaller. I was searching old posts and saw a response from CruiserBrett and...

    Carb Venturi Sizes

    Hi, I'm rebuilding my Aisan 2BBL carb on 11/72 FJ40 and I'm trying to determine if my venturi's are reversed. The two venturi's appear identical and there are no numbers or other stamped on either. The only difference is the venturi currently in the primary has a slightly larger atomizer hole...
