    I'm looking for a new rear fuel tank. I;ve been looking for a while, but my options seem to be rapidly diminishing. the Man-A-Fre tank seems to be NLA, as does Northwest Metal Products. Marks Off-Road has a fuel tank, but I am curious (based on the picture) on how a fuel sender would be mounted...

    Spring Center Pin - Source for new ones?

    Anyone know where I can purchase a couple new leaf spring center pins, stock FJ40 front springs? I know I can get them from $OER, but I would rather not pay a minimum 15$ shipping charge for what is essentially two bolts/nuts. What about using some socket cap screws of the appropriate...

    Are these springs too pitted to bother with?

    Picked up an extra set of front springs to refurbish and remove a leaf from so I can try them out in my 40 (SOA). The springs are pitted quite badly, perhaps too far gone.to bother with. Hopefully the pictures provide a decent view of the issues.

    winch-less, for now

    Finally had some time, and warm enough temps to test out my cooling issues. With the stock radiator, and no shroud, my rig was getting very warm on long highway runs. Lack of a shroud should not matter much at highway speeds, so there must be some other reason. Pulled the winch off which is...

    2.5" OME lift...questions?

    Greetings all. I haven't posted anything on here since acquiring my 08 FJ, but I have a question now on lifts. My plans for the cruiser are minimal, slight lift, bumpers, and tires. This FJ will likely be used 90% on road, its my wife's main vehicle. Any off-road usage will be light trail use...

    1992 lc 190k miles. bad front diff?

    Not my rig, and no experience with 80s, but a local guy ( new to the area) asked for some assistance checking out a problem with it "shifting into gear hard". Looked at it and when shifting from reverse to neutral to drive, brakes applied, the front Driveline will rotate about 3/4 of a...

    what rims for 4wheel disc conversion with late (finned) calipers?

    Looks like I may be purchasing some rims soon. My spare rim differs from the rest, and it just wont quite fit on the front. The caliper interferes with the back of the rim just slightly...a 1/8" spacer would suffice to gain enough clearance. Personally though I'd rather not use spacers, not to...

    Dash: Blinker/Brake indicator replacement?

    Anyone know of a replacement indicator housing (blinkers/brake warning light) that will fit in the stock dash holes (72 FJ40)? I've been searching around, but have thus far not come across anything large enough to fit in the OEM mounting hole size. Something like this...

    ignition switch replacement options?

    Currently I have a GM column mounted in my 40. The column is mounted quite poorly though, and the steering shaft has no slip joint, nor a rag joint. I will be installing a new column, that has no provisions for an ignition switch, and will be putting an ignition switch back into the dash...

    I've just completed a 4-wheel disc conversion, and knuckle swap in m 72 FJ40. Naturally I have all of the "stuff" left over.
