    Door panel arm rest color?

    Like you, I had the same problem. My wife came up with a solution. She mixed 2-3 different color leather paints she purchased from Tandy until she got the match she wanted. 2 years later? Still looks great. Based on the fading of the surrounding area, there's really no way of telling you an...

    Seat Warmer Cost, Seat Upgrades

    Completely agree!! I should have mentioned that in my earlier post. Although, considering the expense of reupholstering, including all new padding isn't much more. I've never done one without the other.

    Seat Warmer Cost, Seat Upgrades

    I had the front seats and center console reupholstered here in Tucson. The company did a fantastic job and it is extremely comfortable. The leather matched perfectly. I didn't have any prior seat heater issues and they still work great.

    FJ40 Tailgate Hinge Variations

    Yep, I may have spoken too soon. I understand they were very rare. Specter Off-road sells the retro steel aftermarket ones.

    FJ40 Tailgate Hinge Variations

    This is not OEM, this is an aftermarket product. The OEM version had two doors (left/right) with hinges on the outer edge.

    Is there such a thing as a tool list of most everything needed for a FJ40 rebuild?

    I never knew that they weren't standard Phillips head screws. When I rebuilt my '70 from the frame up in '88 I thought they looked very standard. I will say, the impact driver became my best friend. The hinges around the vehicle were the worst...

    Is there such a thing as a tool list of most everything needed for a FJ40 rebuild?

    I would definitely add an impact driver...it saved me some time on rusted Phillips Head screws .. (Think hammer striking a large spring loaded screwdriver) -Daric

    Is this insane? Or just stupid?

    Actually, it's rather ingenious.... As long as its reinforced in the back, I think it's good. If you're trying to save money and not buy something, I understand, but if you want comfort, look to a Mitsubishi Mini-Van rear seat. Very comfy.

    Help with tranny leak

    Check the pressure relief valve. If it's clogged, the pressure generated inside the differential will blow seals. (*Experience)

    Extension for diff breather line

    Here's a guy I really like (@Chowcares): He did three different/follow-up videos on the subject because he didn't like the first results. I've done this now and it works great! No more water in the axels, TC, or Trans. 1. 2. 3. Budget extended breathers for differential, transfer case, and...

    Driving when it shouldn't

    Definitely not a US version stock 1971 FJ-40. (very nice looking though). It appears from the dash photo that the transfer case shift pattern is the same as the knob photo I uploaded. With the transmission in neutral, the transfer case would shift from 2Hi to 4Hi moving the lever front to back...

    Driving when it shouldn't

    Tim, it's also possible that you have some slop in the shifter. It's quite common. Typically, a US version transfer case shift pattern would look like this if it's on the floor. Can you upload some photos?

    Driving when it shouldn't

    Is your 1971 Fj-40 stock? 3sp or 4spd transmission? Do you have a picture of the shift pattern which is traditionally on the glove box? Can you upload a picture of the shifter as well? My 1970 came with a vacuum actuated front axle transfer case (pull switch on the dash next to the emergency...

    Driving when it shouldn't

    I'm confused. You first stated that you were driving around with the transfer case in Neutral. Then you asked; "Is there an adjustment I can make to make sure the transfer case goes into neutral?" In order for the vehicle to drive anywhere, the transfer case must either be in 2H, 4H, or 4Lo...

    To change or not ??? My 200K miles 2000 LX470 for a lower mileage 06-07 model

    Not me! I bought the kit and hard wired it to the battery. I haven't had a single issue since.

    To change or not ??? My 200K miles 2000 LX470 for a lower mileage 06-07 model

    The EFI issue is actually quite simple to fix. I have a 2000 LC100 that definitely was having the issues described. I'm not sure I would call it a "safety issue", but it certainly was an annoyance. Here's the fix: EFI Relay Bypass Kit (Immobilizer Fix) for UZJ100/LX470 -...

    Where to ARB Twin compressor on 40?

    What about mounting the compressor under the hood neatly protected and running a remote air line and chuck to front or rear??

    Emissions change?

    Clearing emissions as DSRTRDR said earlier is pretty easy. At the age of mine, it's just a tailpipe sniff while spinning the wheels at their prescribed RPM (I think...). I usually just tweak the carb and check the timing before I go. It is fully warmed up by the time I get there.. They don't...

    Emissions change?

    I have a '70 FJ-40 and I live on the extreme fringe of the city of Tucson and don't qualify for the emissions exemption. The state policy is that any vehicle newer than 1966, and the owner lives in the Phoenix or Tucson metropolitan area (read between the lines - this phrase is extremely...
