    FJ40 Pics from "Back in the day" (70's, 80's)

    1986' ish. Harbinger, North Carolina. 40 got second in my class, I got third in my 82 P/U. You might reconize the third and forth pic. Dennis Andersons "Grave Digger" is what the magnetic sign says. One of the first times he ran the Panel truck. He ran the mud pit forwards and backwards...

    Stock Air Intake Snorkel and Pipe for 1977 FJ40 ?

    Is this some sort of "performance" mod that was done back in the day? I have had 5 different FJ40's over the past 20 years and 3 of them had the air horn cut off just like that. Kinda like 2 of them had the Rochester Carb and header set up sold back in the day. They both had the air cleaner chop.

    FJ40 Not Running

    Is there a wire hooked up here on the Resistor? Looks like just a connector but camera angle could be hiding the wire.

    Distributor Position

    Somewhere deep in Mud is a recommendation to start at about 13⁰ which is about where the BB hits the edge of the sight glass on desmogged rigs.

    Builds Salt wagon My first fj40 (build)

    Did you decide to mount the coil to the block? Some models use the body or engine as a ground for the coil assembly/mounting bracket.

    2F Fuel Pump in FJ40 - Mechanical vs. Electronic

    Do you have an inline fuel filter before the fuel pump and did you check or replace it? If you remove the filter you should get some fuel flow from the fuel line. If not, the pick up tube in the tank could be clogged. Some compressed air blown back through the line towards to tank may unclog it...

    Steering Column Disassembly - Stuck?

    Bearing is likely seized a little on the shaft. I have had to tap one before. Did not take much and it slid right up. Like said above, you could just undo the bolts holding the steering cup and pull it all out. Be a lot easier to paint!

    Timing fj40 questions?

    Pop open the cover above starter. Put a flashlight on the starter, shining on flywheel. Put it in 4th (or 3rd, or 5th depending on what you have). Rock truck. You will see the flywheel moving. Confirm TDC with #1 cylinder.

    Two 40 Series - which one?

    They stopped selling years ago as far as I recall. A few years back someone had one in classifieds for $1500 if I recall. It stayed in there for awhile and someone eventually bought it Honestly, onwing one of each. I would not give more than $2000 for a Malotte. On the other hand, $5-6,000 for...

    Two 40 Series - which one?

    Two of my three 40's are fiberglass. One is a Malotte and one is a Gozzard. The Gozzard is much better built. That said, I drive the Malotte one more than any of them. Mostly because I have a half cab on it. Frame has had a shackle reversal done, which is not necessarily bad if done well...
