I know, I should pay more attention it's been discussed before...
I need someone to rebuild a california 1978 carburetor that is disassembled in a box. Don't ask any questions, I don't wish to discuss the details. Lol
Anyone out there that does good work without laughing at me? (I couldn't do it!)
I seem to remember seeing years ago someone making replacement caps for shift knobs. Anyone know where I might find them now?
I know I can buy new ones, but I'm kinda sentimental since they're the original knobs from when I bought it new in 1978. Just passed 500k miles a few months ago!
Had my stock shackles and bushings replaced, now angle of front shackles don't match. Should they? I never even noticed it before, but I didn't specifically look. Original owner, stock suspension.
Has anyone mounted any kind of winch on the back of their 40? Saw an old military truck that had some kind of weird hookup going under the truck and out the rear! Bizarre, looked crazy dangerous!
This got me thinking about my years with my 1978 fj40. I'm original owner so have good records...
The shift knobs on my 78 are in good condition, but the stickers on them showing shift patterns are long gone. Anyone seen any? I really don't want to change the knobs, I'm the original owner and they're the original knobs.
Orig owner 1978 fj40. Anybody here ever adjust the air gap on a stock elec distributor? Does it ever change? How critical is it? Any input or warnings, etc? Is it an "ain't broke don't touch it" item???
I want to try to remove breather on my transfer case and clean it until I can get time to install vent hose to firewall. With enough contortion I've found I can reach it "sorta". How is it held in place? Threaded? Press fit? Is it identical to the axle breathers? It feels like there's a hex...
I know, I know MPG on an fj40 shouldn't even be discussed... BUT, I'm original owner 78fj40 thinking about AC. Dang, we're getting older and hwy 395 through the Mojave desert is hot in summer. So with AC will I go from 13 MPG highway to 3 mpg????
Not sure how far to dig into front knuckle/axle. 1978 fj40 original owner. 488,000 miles (yes, really). 60% daily driver miles, 30% freeway (to get out of SoCal), 10% off highway (dirt/gravel/mud/snow unpaved roads, some off trail). So approx. 50k miles with warn hubs locked.
Have rebuilt...
Ok, I know all about the overflow hose between the trans and transfer for a leaking seal. Installed one 4 years ago just in case. Having said that, I went to change the oil in both and the transfer case is over filled and the trans is low! Pulled the hose off both and quite a bit of oil...
Has anyone made the stock passenger seat into a slider? Trying to make mods so my wife will be more comfortable after knee and hip replacement. She needs to be able to slide it back to stretch fairly often. Thanks!
I have an original parts manual for 1969. On the cover it says "Toyota Land Cruiser USA Models FJ40L-A and 40LV-A". Catalog No. 93678-69. Used but not greasy or anything. Previous owner clear llaminated cover. Drawings and part numbers of EVERY PART on your cruiser! $60. Call Chuck...
Thinking of selling an OEM 1969 fj40L-A and FJ40LV-A PARTS CATALOG. Toyota #93678-69.
Maybe trade? No idea what it's worth. Good condition, clean and all together.
I have a 1978 fj40 California that I'm always looking for things/parts for - trade?
