Up for sale today and a 78 Toyota FJ40 with a Chevy 350 small block. The 40 has been garage kept for most of its life and while in AZ it has always been in the garage year-round. It's very capable of most moderate to extreme trails but I've taken it a few times on some very mild trails.

Where should the fuel filter be located on a 78 FJ40? Right now mine just hangs down off of one of the cross bars. Should it be located some where else?
A buddy of mine has a 2002 Tacoma and when he goes to put it into 4h it doesn't really go into 4 wheel drive. What he has to do is to back up a bit then rolls forward a foot or so then there is a loud clunck then it's in 4wd. Is this normal?
Thanks

OK here's the story. I have a 78 40 that has a 350 in it with a stock rad and no problem keeping it cool in the summer time out here in Phoenix, AZ. The only time I do have some issue is when I'm at a stop light. I think that because my fan is about 3" away from the fan shroud and is not dead...

Two questions for you.
1. What size are the screws needed to attach the dome light?
2. How do you run the wire for the dome light? I can see a red wire inside the door jam where the dome light is attached but I can not see where it comes out. I do see the other wire up by the windshield...
IN my 40 it looks like the main roll cage is sitting a little close to the driver side rear window. I can not get my hand between the window and the roll cage bolts. Is there a way to strighten out the roll cage or should I just buy a new one if I can find one?
thanks

Ok I have another question. I have what looks like a cut out just to the right of me rear view mirror. I don't think it's for the domw light cause I think on my 78 the dome light is located on the driverside just behind the driver. So I'm not sure just what the hole is for? ANy ideas...
