My alternator has been questionable since I acquired this 40.
Hate to replace oem with a crap aftermarket part. What's available that's recommended?
Anyone replaced one recently?
I have a 69 FJ40 I`m trying to get running I'm removing the 3/69-9/69 carb and I am looking for a fj40 2 barrel carb with the bracket for throttle cable, (late 69-72 i think?) Non usa with the port for vacuum advance distributor on the base even better. Will also need an air cleaner lid that...
I recently picked up a 1969 FJ40 and I`m in the process of figuring out what it needs and getting it running a little better. I've had several 40's, 60's and pickups over the years but this one is the oldest! it's pretty solid and original but I'm finding some PO mods/issues I'm scratching my...

Let me know if you have any of these and are willing to part with them. Thanks!
Here`s a pic of my incomplete kit. Hammer goes in spot 1 where the jack...
Having some cold start trouble with my '91 pickup with 22re. Tested the cold start thermo switch and it checked out fine (40ohms cold, 80 ohms hot), the cold start injector seemed weak when testing, so I replaced it with new ($ouch$) but it has not fixed the issue (damn). Still have to crank...
Well, electrical gremlins in our 2005 Tundra double cab have me stumped. Yesterday I left the ignition on while messing around with the moon roof (ice clogged and started to leak). It sat with the ignition on for about 45 minutes. When I started it back up, and then turned it off, the headlights...
Hi Guys, been meaning to post up here. I moved to Ames in 2014. My wife took a position at Iowa State and we moved from Colorado where I was an active member of the Rising Sun club for many years. We're both originally from the Midwest, (MI and MN) so we've re-adjusted alright! Looking forward...
I'm a long time Land Cruiser guy who recently picked my first Toyota pickup. I've always liked the first gen trucks and I found one in my town for a great price and I have been needing a truck to haul wood and building supplies. My plan is to keep it stock. Here's a pic:

Wow, my turn already! I was hoping to get more mods finished so I had more to share. Oh well, here’s some details anyway. :hillbilly:
I’m Martin Huber, I live in Evergreen Colorado and I’m a member of the Rising Sun 4x4 Club.
Here we go, my ROTW thread for Feb 11...
I recently picked up a factory PTO that I want to mount up to my '73 FJ40. The F has been replaced with a 2F and it has a set of Man-a-fre 6 into 1 headers which I had read would work with the factory PTO with a little modification. I searched MUD but couldn't find images.
I was wondering if...
I hope one of you carb gurus can help me out. :D
I have a 73 FJ40 that has a desmogged '77 2F engine with a '69 2bbl Aisan carb.
I'm trying to figure out if the desmog is set up correctly for this carb. I recently rebuilt it, but it is still running poorly.
The VSV is still in place...
Hi all, doing some work on a '66-'67 FJ40 with an F engine. Took the manifold and carb off for a rebuild and because the manifold had an apparent leak.
Rebuilt the carb, cleaned up the manifold and got some new gaskets and a new carb insulator.
I'm trying to re-install the manifold and...
I'm looking for a one barrel FJ40 Aisan SD-40 Carb for a pre '68 FJ40. I am interested in either a whole carb or parts carb as long as the site glass is intact.
Thanks!

I have a '73 fj40. With the addition of some 4" Downey lift springs and slightly longer shackles, I think I need to add shims to get the pinion angles right. The rear axle had a 2.5˚ shim which I kept in place. I took some measurements which are below:
From searches and asking club...
PO of my 40 put on a set of Downey 4" lift springs but didn't replace any of the bushings, shackles or Ubolts. I just picked up new parts to finish the job, but when I put the shackles on I realized that the Downey springs are only 2.5 inches wide. The shackles are 3+ inches wide, so there is...
I was wondering if anyone knows what type of canvas Ehsan in Pakistan is using for the the OEM style soft tops he's making? Specifically the weight, where it's from, if it's 100% cotton, is it treated/waterproofed with anything.
I did a search and did not find anything specific on the...
1973 FJ40 - Turn signal, indicators, blinkers inop.
The turn signals on my 40 suddenly stopped working and I can't seem to figure out where the problem is. I fixed all the bad grounds recently and they were working perfectly along with all the rest of the lights. Now everything works except...
