    Vacuum Surge Tank mug shot? 77 CA FJ40

    I'm slowly restoring a '77 FJ40 CA spec back to original. As I work on the vacuum lines, I see not one, but two vacuum surge tanks shown on the parts diagram. I've located the square metal tank with one port, shown as #25719 "Tank" on the lower left of the diagram. What I cannot seem to...

    Help needed with attaching 2F Manifold (CA Spec)

    2 questions: 1) My '77 CA Spec manifold appears all original, the "horns" are bolted onto the manifold as shown in the microfiche diagram, yet the horns have no holes drilled for the end bolts. The head has two 10mmx1.25 holes and the gasket has holes. The microfiche diagram shows bolts...

    OEM or PO invention (rubber transmission pads)

    After a decade, I'm putting together a '77 FJ40 and came across these two rubber shims. I've carefully labeled the longer one "transfer case) and they both have a hole appropriate for a shift lever. I cannot find any mention of these in the microfiche catalogue I have. Have you seen them...

    Driveshaft will not take grease

    I was greasing the undercarriage of the 40 today for the first time in XX? years. All of the grease points extruded old grease except for the front and rear driveshafts. I assume that I should be seeing some old grease come out of the area shown by the yellow arrow? When I put the grease...

    Will bad things happen if I remove this? (Starter relay?)

    Hi Mudders, My 06/77 Fj40 battery cables are nasty and I've ordered new ones from Fourrunner. As I look around the engine bay I see this starter solenoid relay. I'm not finding it in the OEM schematics, so I assume it was a PO add. Isn't its function incorporated in the starter? Or is my...

    Intake Manifold, what should this be connected to?

    Is this intake elbow original to the build? On my desmogged, Holly equipped 1977, this elbow, just below the carb, leads to a hose, which leads to... nothing (it's capped off) I thought it might have once have gone to the charcoal canister through the VTV valve, but that appears to be a port...

    What distributor is this?

    After 16 years in storage, I finally turned my attention back to my truck (6/77. ) I was able to get it to run(!) but I think after 16 years a tune up might be in order. Can you help me identify this distributor so that I can order new points? (Yes, I see one of the point hold down screws is...

    Rear diff shaft pin -- removing w/o breaking?

    The project this weekend is to remove the rear axles so that I can begin the overhaul. I believe that I need to remove this shaft pin (#12) to free up the rear axles and I've heard horror stories of the pin breaking during removal. Short of burning a jeep as sacrifice to the Cruiser god...

    Frame Coating Paint, Powder or POR

    I've read the various threads regarding frame treatments and I'm trying to decide the best choice for my cruiser, keeping in mind that I'd like to end up with a Cruiser that looks as close to OEM as possible, yet still take advantage of any new technologies that will preserve its life...

    Patience—The Rebuilding of a stock 1977 FJ40 Toyota Land Cruiser

    My infatuation – ok, lets be candid, sickness -- began in my teen years when I stood watching a boxy looking 4 wheel drive throwing plumes of snow out of all four tires as it strained against a chain attached to a stuck Jeep. In the ‘70s, Jeeps were common in Colorado, but there was a...
