IH8MUD Team,
My 76 FJ40 (completely re-wired about 2 years ago) started having the below issues recently, I believe simultaneously and all of a sudden. Wondering if you can suggest where I begin looking to identify the issue as I assume they are all related. REALLY don't want to take it to...
I have an FJ40 with a newly installed man-a-fre aux tank set up as a second primary (OEM mechanical fuel pump). Fuel has been flowing fine since install but recently, the FJ has been choking down randomly after I switch to the aux. Front tank works fine so I’ve started working my way back from...
Mudders,
Searched the archives and couldn't find a thread on this...was wondering if anyone has experience with a spare tire mounted rack for carrying a cooler (I know Surco makes one: linked here). I have an OEM tubular spare tire carrier on a '76 FJ40. I'm always leery of weight on these...
Just got this beauty from Whirlybird and will be bringing her home soon. Current 2f is seized up and I have another from an FJ60 that I'll be dropping in. This will be my second FJ40 restore but the first that I'm going to try to do as much of the mechanical myself as possible and take my time...

I have a 75 FJ 40, original radiator with 350 swap. Going to flush my radiator and am wondering what ratio of antifreeze to water I need and how much.
Thanks!
I'm looking for a shroud that will fit the original radiator mounts (I think) of my '75 FJ40.
Please let me know if you can help or know of a close fit I can look for.
Thanks.
Noob at work here ;)
When I traded for my '75 FJ40, the PO had recently completed a 350 swap. Since I've had it, with or w/out auxiliary, mechanical fan, water temp. seems to want to run around 220 deg. F in around town traffic or on 4wd trail (and upwards if I don't give it a rest). The...
Added a few pics until I can get some more detailed ones uploaded. Excited to be driving a non-calico FJ, non-drafty, dry and warm...

Ok, so I have a few random questions in the midst of "wrapping up" my restofication. In other words, if I don't find an intermittent stopping point, I may have to find a place to put a wedding band on the FJ and it just doesn't look as good there as on my wife's finger :)
1. Should the...
Ok, its been way too long since I gave an update. This is probably because its been way too long since the guy I had helping me did any work. I left a full shop in GA for grad school in CO. So, in CO with no shop and little money and bad help has made this process "fun." I'm hoping to have...
I'm trying to figure out what the best option for front seats for my daily driver FJ40 would be if its going to have a bikini top and probably no doors on the majority of the summer. Do you have any affordable recommended options for seats that are weather proof or affordable seats that you...
I've been reading/learning a ton on Ih8mud so far; thanks for all the help. maybe one day soon I'll have some legitimate advice of my own to give.
The latest on my '75 FJ40 is as soon as I get some parts delivered, I'm going to start working on replacing the tops of my wheel wells, both...
Starting some of the priority projects on my body restore...
have you found any particular sites that sell body parts, quality, cheaper than others? I've been on coolcruisers a lot. recommendations?
will probably end up replacing both rear quarter panels and both front fenders instead of...
I posted last week with some questions about my 75 FJ40
Y'all have been awesome with the responses/ help so far; thx
Here are some pics that were asked for.
Story: I bought a Yamaha V-star about a year and a half ago (for a steal) with the intent of selling it the next season for a profit...
I recently acquired a 1975 FJ40. Beginning to do some restoration; rust isn't too bad but I'm wondering if/how I should prevent rust underneath the truck. It looks as if a coating of some sort has been applied in the past but is peeling off now. Any suggestion or recommendations as to if/how I...
