    Fiberglass Top Visor

    The top came off my FJ40 almost ten years ago and I'm slowly reassembling it. The FJ40 is a 5/78 but I know that the fiberglass top was replaced at some point so the visor may not be correct for a '78. There was a very large rubber grommet under the washer nozzle and it was all glued in place...

    1978 "Top Bow Pack" Weatherstrip Part

    I'm restoring the top and replacing all of the rubber. There is one part that I haven't been able to find anywhere. SOR refers to it as the TOP BOW PACK (#52). At first I thought this was referring to the rear corner pad (#71), but it is not. If this was on my top when I disassembled it years...

    Help Identifying Tub Bolts

    I haven't had a top on the '78 FJ40 for years and am curious what these bolts are for as I don't remember using them and don't see them in the SOR diagrams. (Maybe there are better online diagrams elsewhere?) I believe the red-circled ones are for soft top bows and were present on both soft- and...

    '78 FJ40 Top Rebuild

    After removing and disassembling the top to my ’78 FJ40 (from this thread: 1978 FJ40 Stock Restoration – 15 Years Long) seven years ago, I finally started the rebuild. The rain gutter is completely rusted and I ordered CCOT’s replacement. I’ve read numerous threads about weatherstripping and...

    (Almost) OEM Intermittent Wipers for the FJ40

    Coolerman recently contacted me about the lack of good options for intermittent wipers and asked if I’d considered designing something. Because my top hasn’t been on in years, I hadn’t, but if you’ve read my OEM Carb Fan Controller Replacement thread you already know I’m an über-geek and enjoy...

    OEM Carb Fan Controller Replacement

    Several years ago I found out my '78 had something commonly referred to as a "carb fan" and associated thermistor and controller. I didn't notice it was there because it had never worked. A PO had replaced the fan controller's inline 5A fuse with a 15A fuse. That's likely why the controller...

    Extra connectors on '78 fuse box and yet another wire...

    While exploring from where to power my CB, I found two unused male spade connectors on the back of the fuse box. The way they're positioned, it looks like they could be used for accessories with one being powered when the key is ON and the other powered with the key switched ON or ACC. A...

    CB40F Internal Wiring & Harness

    I finally bought a CB40F for a price I was willing to pay, but although it is cosmetically new looking, I believe it's had a few wires clipped. Other threads show some good internal pictures with what looks like as many as 10 wires exiting the case; a 6-pin connector to the speaker relay, a...

    Rear Jump Seat Sticker Detail

    I failed to photograph my jumps seats before powder coating. I have the reproduction stickers but remember another marking, perhaps red numerals, ink-stamped on the label. Does anyone have a picture of the correct location of the label and maybe a closeup of an original label?

    Rear Heater Label Orientation

    I have the sticker for my rear heater but can't find a picture of the orientation. I believe it goes on the top center of the heater. If I'm standing between the jump seats facing forward, is the sticker oriented to be readable or should it be upside down to me (readable to a front seat...

    Warm Radiator Leaking Cool Coolant

    I finally sourced a new choke and she started right up again. I ran her for 10 minutes in the driveway and and when I pulled back in the garage, an obvious leak of greenish coolant was dripping steadily from somewhere under the radiator. I felt along the bottom of the radiator as best I could...

    Manifold Thermo Sensor Replacement

    The carb cooling fan's "Manifold Thermo Sensor" (thermistor) for 1977-1992 is $85 (used) at SOR. Has anyone sourced a suitable replacement? As long as it fits the bracket and has a data sheet I can make it work. I don't have wifi for a week and researching is painful on a phone. Thanks.

    Electrical Connector Near Parking Brake

    I noticed an unused green connector near the white connector for the parking brake light switch. It's not jumping out at me on the electrical diagram. Can someone tell me what this is for? 78 FJ40. Thanks.

    OEM Rubber Mat Repair

    My searches turned up nothing on repairing original rubber mats. I use the word "rubber" but don't really know if they're actually rubber or some other synthetic material. My front mat is in great shape except for a 1" hole on the driver's side where it sort of melted to the floor like others...

    '78 FJ40 Carb Linkage Broken

    I've looked through the threads and pictures of stock carb linkages but can't figure out what's happened to mine. I stopped for gas and when I tried to leave I couldn't. Opened the hood and had my son push the pedal while I inspected the carb. It was obvious that the rod had popped out of the...
