My FJ40 has been sitting for a year and now won't start. It's stock/original except for a brand new Weber carburetor. We are in the DISTRIBUTOR and we are finding it difficult to get parts (points, rotor, etc). I am considering a Pertronix electronic ignition conversion kit for the existing...
I got a complete top for a '78 I want to install on my '74 (hard top gone, soft top only now). I'd like to pay someone who has done this to help me get this done. I can bring the FJ40 and parts to you (I'm near Austin, TX).

I just bought a pair of Scout II's in Texas. One is V8, 4X4 ... call it the keeper. The other was originally bought for parts, is V6 and 2WD, no top currently.
I want to find a top for it, fix it up and get it ready for the 15 year old grandson to drive from the city out to my farm (and to...
Anyone willing to sell a full hardtop for an FJ40 1974?
If trade is a desired option, I have a full top and ambulance doors from a 1978 complete (no spare mount) and all the parts to make a 1/2 top.
Let me know. I have cash and a trailer ready to go.

Where would I go to get parts to refurb the doors on my stock '74 FJ40?
I have anti-wrattler strips but need the hard, black rubber gasket/seals for the windows and the window vents.
The windows go up and down easily and without issue, but if I'm going into the doors I might replace regulator...
Crew, I have a '78 full top I want to put onto my '74 (I know I've posted about this before). And I believe I'm going to need a '74 header bar/plate to accomplish this. I don't have one.
Does anyone have one they can part with? If not, does anyone have one they can use to make me a template. I...
Any idea where I can get a new Weber carburetor 32 36 with electric choke for a '74 FJ40?
Currently has a cable choke.
Land Cruiser Specialists in Austin recommends this. I note that many on this forum like the OEM carb. Would you go Weber or rebuild the OEM, assuming it's (re)buildable?
I've got a hard top and ambulance doors from a 78 I want to install on my 74 FJ40. Is there anyone in Texas you would recommend to help me get this done?
Has anyone done this?
I bought a hard top and ambulance doors from a 78 FJ40. I want to put it onto my 74. What is it going to take?
Also, if you know an outfit that can do this turn key and a really good job, please recommend them here.
In order to finish the installation of the Warn 8274 on my '74 FJ I need the solenoid pack.
The FJ came with the winch and the control cable but apparently not the solenoid pack. Might anyone have a good used one for sale? Or can you tell me where to buy?
Commercial sellers have the 38845...
Where should my temp gauge read?
On my 74 FJ40 gauge there are two ticks. My needle sits between "C" and the first tick. If it's too cold, I need a new thermostat, correct? Will that help with fuel economy?
Hi Y'all,
Down here in Texas I need an FJ40 spare tire carrier, post '78 please. Mounts on the drivers side, accommodates ambulance doors. Going onto a '74.
thanks!

So, my 1974 FJ40 is supposed to be a later FJ for that year (October I believe). I do note that it has the commode-flush style door handles (versus the in-built pull-up) and the wipers are top-mount versus under-windshield mount. I also have the rubber thingies on the hood.
My understanding is...
