    Engine recommendations

    Quadrajet carb. I am not able to identify it further. Fuel injection would sure be nice but the ~$2500-3000 for the parts give me pause. I am glad to get input from other people who have been down these roads before. Most of the time I think it is best to ‘cry once’ and spend the money up front...

    Insurance?

    I use American collectors. You tell them how much you want to insure it for and send some pictures in. State Farm was too difficult.

    Engine recommendations

    I really appreciate this forum. There is so much wisdom here. I just ran elephant hill yesterday in a 100, nice and slow on those steep inclines. I would like to do that with the 40. My 40 struggled on steep inclines in Silverton CO despite adjusting the carb. I like the 3fe idea and they are...

    Engine recommendations

    I am looking for an engine recommendation. I have a 1970 FJ 40 that has a sbc in it and I am also struggling with the carburetor stalling on steep inclines, possibly also due to altitude. Adding fuel injection is about the cost of a new engine. The sbc doesn’t feel right to me and I would rather...

    265/70/18 on a 2020 LC?

    On the tall skinny vs wide tire… the contact patch is the same between the two. This guy scientifically tested both on the same truck and the findings are surprising.

    LX 470 speedometer issues

    Thank you for the help. Is there anything else that controls the speedometer that could be faulty? I tried a new speed sensor but it didn’t correct the problem. I also tried a local mechanic and he had no idea. Should I go to a dealer? Any advice is appreciated.

    LX 470 speedometer issues

    I am hoping mud can help me out. My speedo will read about 10 mph faster than my actual speed after the vehicle has been driven for about 2 hours. It doesn't happen for short trips only after it has been driven for a while. Has anyone seen this? Should I replace the vehicle speed sensor? I...

    Cruiser Corps Stainless Steel Brake lines

    Yes. I tried cruiser corps stainless steel lines and had leaks in way too many places where the fittings were bottomed out. They blamed me for over tightening. It turned out that actually the fittings are just too short. Everything worked fine after I bought the correct fittings and replaced...

    Leaking brake line fittings

    Reviving an old thread as I was having the same problem and wanted to add the solution I found. I bought stainless steel brake lines from cruisercorps and the 2 lines to the rear wheels were leaking. I tried reseating and tightening again but it didn’t help. I contacted cruiser crops but they...

    Rear differential identification help

    I am trying to get a 1977 fj40 back on the road but have a broken differential for starters. I have a rear differential from an unknown year. Are the differentials over the years interchangeable? I understand driveline connections changed slightly and that could be an issue. Any advice is...

    What did you do to clean the transfer case? I can't believe how good your transfer case looks.

    Underside paint fj40

    What are people doing with the undercarriage while restoring an fj40? Originally the underside of fenders, bed, etc was painted to match the body of the vehicle but it seems very impractical. I really like how it looks but don’t want to cringe each time I hear a rock hit the underside. Any...
