    My Sisters 40

    I've been working on rebuilding a 40 for my sister as a gift for my brother-in-law. Shared with my Toyota 4WD club here in Denver, but thought I would add the link here since I've recently returned to this site. Hope maybe someone might get some insight with their own rebuild...

    FJ40 Dies while turning left...

    That's right...just like the thread title says... Randomly my 40 will shut down in a left hand turn. It's like I turned the key off. No stumble, no choking, just dies. Sometimes, I can turn the steering wheel straight, mash down on the gas and get her to start up again, but usually have to pull...

    Tube style tire carrier...modified

    I took an opportunity to get a free spare tire carrier that was slightly "tweaked", cut out the middle tire mount area, and was able to straighten the frame out. I disassembled the hinges, and put in new longer pins. Changed the pivot and solid sides of the hinges to allow the carrier to be...

    Cool spark plug tool

    I don't usually cruise through this forum, since I have a FJ40...but I just helped a buddy with a 4runner change plugs and wires. Putting the plug cap in a magnetic driver extention and lowering it down the plug tubes works GREAT!! You all probably know this little trick, but not having...

    Half door repair that ended up as a build...

    I had some rust on the passenger side of my half doors. I planned on cutting out and welding in a metal sheet piece because the rust spot didn't appear too awfully large, and thought it would be a fairly straight forward repair. Now, I know you guys from the east coast are saying, "Oh, how...

    Aluminum Foil for Rust Removal?

    Just thought I would share this with everyone...I read where aluminum foil would work as a removal tool for surface rust in place of something like steel wool. It works like a charm! I cleaned up my fairlead rollers, and the chrome doo-dads on the wheels. I did polish after rust removal to help...

    Door rebuild thread??

    I saw a thread about a later door rebuild, and can't find it through search... Anyone remember seeing it, and can link to it? Covered the linkages, weatherstripping...the whole ball-o-wax. Thanks in advance if you can get me connected...

    Roll Bar Rack...Extra Cargo Room for Camping

    Since installing jump seats in to my 40, I found myself running out of space packing for weekend camping trips with the :princess:. I never imagined the seats would take up as much cargo space as they do on the wheel wells, but wanted to be able to carry more than just two bodies if I needed...

    Brake Booster Cross Reference

    I'm needing to replace my brake booster for my 77 FJ40, and would like to compile a list of boosters that will swap over for the repair. I've read threads of 60's, mini's, 4runners, T100's even Supras could fit. For clarity, and "one stop shopping" when I'm at the pick-and-pull, I'm hoping for...

    77 2F Hot air flap assembly question

    My hot air intake flap assembly in the air cleaner isn't responding to the hot air as it should. I have taken it apart, and cleaned it up, and got it working better, but can't find any information on rebuild, or if parts are available.I've searched, but found nothing. This is the heat activated...

    Hot Air Intake Engine Location

    I've read various threads, but still can't find where the hot air intake tube attaches to the engine. I've looked all around the engine side for the ports pictured on SOR, but didn't see anything. I took the FJ for a nice long drive to the foothills today, and when I got home, I checked the...

    Rear disc brake banjo bolts leaking

    I've spent the last two days installing a Aussie locker in the rear differential, and modding my 77 FJ40 with rear disc brakes. Everything was going smoothly, until the bleeding of the brakes. My Banjo bolts are leaking. I read in Cam's thread about the caliper piston being too far back, so...

    Slider build

    I've been building a set of sliders for my FJ40 for a while, and thought I would share with the community. I wanted to maintain the steps, as I think they are one of the defining looks of the 40, but still wanted to protect them from too much abuse. I chose for my main tube a 1 7/8 tube with a...

    Pinion preload clarity needed

    I am about to start my rear disc brake mod next week, and have to change out the pinion seal while I'm in there. I've read threads on preload, but I guess I'm missing if the test should be done while the assembly is complete (axles in) or while the pinion gear is engaged with the ring, or alone...

    Wanted  FJ40 Heater Linkage Knob

    I'll try this again...I'm looking for the plastic ball (knob) on the front heater linkage handle. I got PM's before from people who would sell for $25 plus shipping, but I think that's a little steep for a plastic ball that is only about 9/16 in diameter...That said, I will pay up to $10 shipped...
