    Fuel pump?

    I've had my 78 FJ-40 parked for a few years. I had been starting it once a month, but I couldn't get it to start a few months ago. I may have run the tank dry. I filled the tank about half way and jump started it, but I can't get it to keep running. When primed, it runs fine for a bit then...

    VIN Location on 78 FJ 40?

    Thanks guys. Hopefully I will be able to have this puppy registered fairly soon and be legal instead of having to recon my way from my driveway to the dirt and back. badger I already got the advice on how to get a replacement title.

    VIN Location on 78 FJ 40?

    That's where I found the alphanumeric I'm talking about. Same number on firewall passenger side... I just need to know so I can do a title search... I bought it off the PO's son. Title lost in same fire as PO. Steve (badger)

    VIN Location on 78 FJ 40?

    I need to register my FJ and am having trouble locating the VIN. It has FJ040 followed by six digits, but I thought the VIN was 15-18 digits (or alphanumerics... whatever) Any help? 1978 FJ40 stock body except for soft top. Steve

    Topic of the week: soft tops

    "Conclusion- If you need a relatively inexpensive top (Is $700 cheap?!) that is easy to put on and off, and fairly durable, the tigertop works fine." I got my top for less than $500 with doors and shipping from Lightline of Louisiana. (scout specialists) Considering what it would cost to...

    turn signal switch

    Hmm. My '78 has one flasher unit for all lights. Hazards work fine. The left signal works, right does not. (manual flashing around cops! :D) Also, the signals won't flash at all with the headlights on. I guess the flasher is just worn out. A buddy took it apart and adjusted the spring and it...

    Topic of the week: soft tops

    I got the Besttop Tigertop. Pros: Really Cheap. Simple (note I didn't say easy) Install. Cons: Windows scratch way too easy. The damn velcro over the doors. Weak zippers. Door latches pop open. (this may have something to do with the twisting of the frame, tho) General: I won't complain about...

    For Sale  Built 350 and TH-400 f/s in New Mexico

    I bought a friend's Scout at the same time as my 'cruiser, wanting to swap his drivetrain into mine. However, my drivetrain runs like a top and I'm tired of having the Scout taking up room at another friend's land. The engine has less than 1000 miles since a complete build-up including...

    Dual spare mount?

    I have a driver's side spare mount on my 78 fj40 and am wondering if anyone has ever mounted an older style passenger side mount in addition. I will be carrying 2 33x9.50s. Any suggestions?

    For Sale More parts...

    Re: '70 Spare Carrier/ Seats I may be interested in the carrier if I can mount it in conjunction with the driver's side one already on my 78. I'll ask on the tech list to see. I live in Santa Fe, NM so I'd have to check on the freight to ship that thing this far south. You can contact me at...

    Random hardware for reconditioning

    I definitely like the junkyard idea best :D. I'm doing my shackle reverse Saturday so I guess Sunday will have to be the day for roaming about the rusted plains looking for little strange bits of hardware. Thanks.

    Soft top advise...

    I installed a Bestop Tiger Top on my 78. It seems to work fine. Lightline of Louisiana has them for pretty cheap. I think I may wish I had bought the supertop later on as it has the channel to lock the top in place instead of snaps, but at the time I didn't want to spend the extra $ to get the...

    Random hardware for reconditioning

    Does anyone know the best place to find the hardware to finish putting my truck together? I got it as a rollover basket case with most of the parts in a trailer. I am almost done (ha!) with the work I will be doing but need hardware to mount the grill, headlight frame, headlights, the cover...
