    Perfect running new '76 2F just died, and I can't get it running again. (SOLVED)

    Guys I would appreciate some suggestions. I have had my rebuilt '76 2F running great for the past year. A few weeks ago it just died while out driving and I had to have it towed home.

    Bad transmission/clutch or something noise

    Hello again fellow mudders, I recently installed a 4 speed transmission in place of the 3 speed on my 1972 FJ40. The transmission is an H42 from a 1976 FJ40. I took the cover off and inspected for anything obvious to me but I just put in new seals and went with it. The transfer case I did...

    Setback!

    Well I purchased an H42 mated with a tc from a '76 40 to swap out the J30 in my '72 40. I was cleaning the considerable grease and oil off of it today and uncovered a crack in the Tcase. Looks like I am going to learn how to fit my 3 speed tcase to the H42. Not entirely sure I'm up for it. I was...

    Wiper park switch cover

    Fellow Mudders, I am in need of a wiper park switch cover for a 1972 FJ40 wiper motor. This is the snap on one not the one that screws down. I understand that they aren't just laying around all over the place, so I want to make my own. I will be casting this from urethane, so I can make as many...

    tico's auto center

    I have a '72 FJ40, and have been flagged down twice by the same guy over a period of about a year. He always compliments my rig, then says he is a mechanic who is very into Toyotas. Especially FJ40's. Says he can do just about any work needed on them. I usually do my own work, but a good LC guy...

    Carb delivering too much gas?

    I have a trollhole carb that I am having some trouble with. Now it seems to me to be delivering too much gas at idle. So much that it barely idles and more often than not it will die after a few seconds. I have replaced the top gasket and cleaned it out several times. I would like to know what...

    Issue #1: I have been told I need to finally get serious about an annoying leak under my 1972 fj40 (by the wife). Original F 155 engine, original 3 speed transmission and transfer case.

    Seattle to Reno in The Duke

    Picked up another pony for the stable last week. My son is in the Military in Virginia and has wanted one since I got mine ('72) a little over a year ago. He didn't have much to spend, but we were looking at everything and anything that we could find. Not much locally, but I found one in Seattle...

    Howdy Fellers. I purchased a mini truck box, pump, bracket and some other misc items from a fellow mud member in prep for my power steering conversion on my 6/72 40.

    Cowl Vent Tube Replacement

    I recently found out that I didn't have any cowl vent tubes as it was raining here and my floorpans were wet. Tracked it down to missing tubes and did a search. Found that OEM tubes are available, but expensive. Some guys use heater hose or whatever but have commented on difficulty of...

    I am in need of both the drivers and passengers hard doors for a 72 fj40. They dont need to be perfect, I will strip and paint them anyway so a little repair won't bother me. Aso be nice if they were west of the rockies so shipping isn't so expensive. Thanks -Al

    Alright fellers...manifold question

    I have recently acquired an new exhaust manifold for my '72 fj40 from delancy (thanks Pal!) and have noticed a difference between the new and the old. My old one has a vacuum port on it and the newly acquired on does not. Is this an important difference or should I just disregard?
