    Brake Lights/Blinker issue identification

    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).

    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...

    75 FJ40 restofication update

    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...

    '75 FJ40/underside rust

    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...
