    Oil pan replacement issue

    Thanks for all the helpful suggestions. (1) Re-using the old, leaking pan isn't an option. I had tried sealing the leaking threads many times. It was beyond repair and has departed with the trash. (2) I don't know what is keeping the new pan from aligning correctly. I did inspect the lip on...

    Oil pan replacement issue

    First post in a long time . . . 1974 FJ40 with original "1.5F" engine. Finally decided to replacing the original oil pan (which had a very slow drip from the drain hole threads for years). After struggling for two or three days getting the old pan off and carefully scraping the remnants of...

    Front Frame plate?

    Try searching on eBay. Someone was selling a metal plate for that area awhile back. Don't know if they still are.

    Headlight woes - '74 FJ40 -- yes, another headlight post

    Headlights are fine. As indicated in one of my earlier posts, the headlights WORK with the non-USA switch (but the parking and tails lights don't work with that switch). So, something is going on in the wiring between the headlights and the connector to the switch. Headlight fuse is fine...

    Headlight woes - '74 FJ40 -- yes, another headlight post

    No, the fact that the lights only worked for a few weeks after cleaning indicates to me that the switch isn't the problem. Plus, I've tried two other switches since and still have the problem.

    Headlight woes - '74 FJ40 -- yes, another headlight post

    In inspecting the wires leading to the connector, I noticed that the P.O. had electrical tape around two of them. Removed the tape and two of the wires appear to be slightly "crimped" just before entering the plastic connector housing. So I'm focusing on the connector and wires right now, but...

    Headlight woes - '74 FJ40 -- yes, another headlight post

    I know there are many threads on headlight issues -- I've read them all but still can't solve my issue. I have a '74 FJ40 (late '73 build date). Since acquiring the truck the headlights have worked about 50% of the time. When I pull the switch to the first position, the parking & tail lights...

    '78 top onto a '74 - need a header plate/bar template

    First, there are many, many threads on MUD about installing newer tops on older trucks -- suggest searching for them. Second, if you're looking for for a part, posting in the classified in the "parts wanted" section will get more results. Or looking in the "parts for sale" section. Also, hard...
