    1978 FJ-40 for Sale

    I am sad to put my FJ up for sale but I have orders overseas.:frown: I have only had it about 3 years. The Previous owner sunk a lot of money into parts to make a really reliable rig. I haven't driven it much in the past 3 years. I worked on it more than drove it. Below is my advertisment. I...

    Is this Motor Mount Bolt broken?

    I was under my 78 FJ-40 replacing an oil pressure sender when I noticed something. The right front engine mount looked like the bottom nut was not tightened all the way. I grabbed two wrenchs(for both ends of the bolt) and attempted to tighten. The nut did not tighten on the bolt. The nut...

    Help with oil Pressure

    I've been driving around for a few years now with jacked up oil pressure. The PO replaced about everything on my 1978 FJ-40. When I start up the oil pressure is very high but within 10-30 seconds it moves to extreme low and stays there.:meh: I am pretty sure I am getting oil pressure or my...

    Spare tire carrier movement

    My 78 FJ40 spare tire carrier has some movement when driving around. Is there somewhere to buy a kit or what can I do to "shim" it or replace something? I know I might be a little vague but then maybe there is an easy solution..:cheers: Thanks, Cliff

    Do I have the wrong springs from CCOT?

    I am having problems getting the front HFS 2.5 springs into the spring hangar. The miltary wraps on the springs are hitting the top of the hangar and thus I can't get the pins in. Before I just discovered this, the rear and front springs were too wide to get into the spring hangars so I grinded...

    Front Shock Pins

    In the process of installing a HFS lift kit I found a problem with the front right upper shock mount. Prior to the install I could hear a clanging coming from the front end but could never pinpoint it. It looks as if the upper pin was never tighted down and thus was moving in the upper mount...

    Lift kit price comparison

    I have been battling which lift kit to buy. I am still not sure on what brand or size. I have read a lot on Mud about different comparisons but nothing too much about price. Maybe I didn't search hard enough. I broke down the price for a full 2.5 inch lift kit. I used the ManaFre Old Man Emu...

    What size lift with current 31x10.50

    I've had my Cruiser for about a year and fortunately/unfortunately it came with new 31x10.50 tires. When I wear these out I will upgrade to 33x10.50 or 34x.9.50. I am ready for a lift kit from CCOT (HFS) and I can't decide on the 2.5 inch or 4 inch leafs. I think 31x10.50 inch tires with a 4...

    Where to go this weekend?

    Does anybody have a good route to 4wheel somewhere in east county San Diego? I have some good books but I'm not too familiar with the area. I have to bring my 4runner (4x4 though) this time because my 4 year old daughter is going. Another less capable POS jeep wrangler:bang: will probably...

    Oil Pressures woes

    Does anybody know what the oil pressure should be for a 2F. When putting the key in the ignition the oil pressure goes to max. After engine start it quickly goes to minimum for the remainder of the drive. I just replaced the gauge and there is a new sender installed. Could some wire be...

    Temperature Probe

    Does anybody know the diameter of the Water pump to radiator hose for 1978? I need to install an adapter in the hose to install a temperature sensor. While attempting to take the hose off I am almost ripping it.

    Oil Pressure and water temp Gauge hook up

    I am installing aftermarket oil pressure, water temp, and volt meter gauges in a 1978. The stock oil pressure I don't believe is working. When I start the engine I get extremely high pressure and then quickly drops to zero. Is this right? I don't recall that happening on an F motor. The...

    Two radio antennas

    I have two radio antennas on my 1978. Is there any reason for two? I am installing a new radio and was thinking of maybe finding a splitter to combine both antennas into one input for the radio. Would there be an advantage to this? Can one of the antennas by used for a CB and is that the...

    Manual Choke needed?

    I noticed that when attempting to use the manual choke on my 78 with stock carb it did not seem to change the engine. Tonight I noticed that the manual choke line had snapped and thus was not connected to the carb. I know that the PO had the carb rebuilt but there should be no reason to...

    Mystery knob?

    I am trying to figure out what a three position toggle switch went to. The switch is just to the right of the instrument cluster in a 1978. It looks like the hole might be a factory cut. Anybody know what the hole is/was for? The current toggle switch has 3-4 wires connected to it with one...

    Repaint emblems

    I just recieved two used fender emblems. The black flaking is peeling off but the shiny part is still good. Has anybody repainted the black portion or know the best way to do it? I was think of taping off the shiny part then hitting it with some black paint. Any easier way other than buying a...

    New Owner trivia questions

    I recently purchased a 78 FJ40 and have noticed some things different from my prior 1973. These questions I have may be some good trivia question but unfortunatley I don't know the answer and there is no prize at the end. This 78 has shims between the axle and front springs. My 73 did not...

    Another new 1978 FJ-40 Owner

    I just purchased my second FJ-40 but I haven't owned one in almost ten years. I'm very excited to be back in the ownership and miss my 1973 FJ-40.:crybaby: I had to have this one shipped from San Fran to San Diego and it will arrive tommorrow. I have never seen it in person. It is pretty...
