I have a 1997 and the ABS sensors are in bad shape. One of them is so bad it occasionally activates when braking. I did some searching and was not able to find much on this on MUD (maybe I am looking in the wrong spot). Anyway, was looking for input from those that have done the removal...
I have a 1997 Limited 40 Anniversary with a rear heater hose that is starting to leak. I did some research and wanted to confirm these part numbers are correct.
87248 and 87248Y. Are they even still available?
The lines are located at the rear of the engine bay on the firewall and go...
I have a 1997 40th addition and am going to change out my sway bar bushings to poly. Can anyone tell me what size the bar is? I am told they go from 21,23,24,25, or 29 mm sway bar.
Many thanks
I thought I saw some commentary on the forums about changing from full time 4WD to selectable Asian Hubs, but can't seem to locate it. If I want to change from full time 4WD Is it just a question of changing the hubs or is there more to it than that? I just acquired a 1997 FZJ80 triple...
Just acquired a 1997 Limited Edition FZJ 80. All in all it is in great shape and appears to have been primarily a mall driver. Considering its been through many Maine winters, the rust is really pretty minimal. While crawling around underneath and getting acquainted with the rig I see that...
So, I found an built a 1972 FJ-40 rig a few years back and now that I am getting a bit closer to retirement I am back to begin the build of an FZJ-80 that my wife and I will use to travel across the country and explore. The first step was finding the right rig. Well, I am happy to say that...
I am running a rebuilt 2f in my 72 Fj-40 and was wondering if anyone recommends anything other than a good synthetic. I am know there are die hards for specific brands etc. Just curious what others are running and their experience.
Been a bit since I have been on the forums since my build was completed, but am at the point where I am looking into some upgrades for my FJ-40. I have a hybrid ride with a 12/72 frame/body with a 1985 2F, and FJ-60 Power Steering and front discs. My old dizzy and igniter is getting tired...
Been quite a bit since I posted. Life always gets in the way. Looking for a little insight about fixing my broken transfer case. I have a 72 Fj-40 with a 79 4 speed tranny. Long story short what I believe happened is my drive shaft came off of the transfer case yolk and spun up and broke...
So I have been chasing an oil pan leak since I got my rig on the road over a year ago and it was making me nuts. Finally got tired of it and pulled the pan, but how to find the leak? I got the bright idea to pull it, clean it up and then fill it with water. I then put the compressor to the...
I have a 12/72 (73) FJ-40 I did a complete frame off build on. I have had it on the road for about a year and recently I noticed the brake lights were not working. So I looked at the fuse and it was blown. Put in a new fuse and it blew as soon as it touched the fuse block. (good sized...
I have a 1972 FJ-40 with a 1985 2F that has been rebuilt. New Radiator, water pump, thermostat etc.... I have just recently gotten the rig on the road and now after driving it a bit further than usual (15-20 miles), just breaking in the rebuilt engine and working out the bugs etc..... I get a...
I have been having some issues with my gauges now that I have my truck on the road. I was able to use the below thread to correct my Temp Gauge issue, Thanks Rudi. My question. My fuel gauge has been tested per Rudi's thread and it works fine. I installed a new tank and a new sending unit...
I seized an engine in my 1972 FJ-40 and got a 2F out of a 1985 FJ-60 as a donor motor. Long story short it has been a long journey to get the engine rebuilt, correct components fitted to it and the final steps to get it started. My next step is to get the distributor installed. I have read...

Folks, I have been going back and forth on the forum for months trying figure out the proper configuration and pulley combination to support an F to 2F change. My rig is a 12/72 FJ-40. I put a rebuilt 2F from a 1985 FJ-60 into the truck. I am putting it back together and felt I had done all...
Changing out a seized F for a 2 F and am still fighting the water pump, pulley, belt configuration in another thread. Does this configuration look correct? Thanks for the help. Sorry about the orientation of the picture. For some reason when I take photos with my phone they don't cooperate...
I have a 1972 FJ-40 that I put a 4 speed in. I needed to remove the shift to perform some work on the engine and transfer case and when I twisted the shift console cover plate one of the pins inside the top of receiving sleeve on top of the transmission fell out. I was able to recover it but...
My 2F just came back from the machine shop after some head and valve work to replace an F that seized the #2 crank bearing. Anyway, this motor is relatively new to me and never had oil in it when I picked it up as it was already removed from the Fj-60 it came out of. The machinest told me that...
