Guys- new to the scene, originally from Australia. I don't have the room or time to drop a diesel into my FJ40 - shes a 72 with an F engine in it and it ran well until last weekend when she blew the head gasket- great opportunity to go diesel. I can get a 3B engine but need someone to drop it...
HI- As I'm restoring my ride, some part shave come off:
passengers side bench seat (slanted side, modded to fit with roll cage) $100 +S/H
Two brand new bottom foam parts for slanted bench seats $50 for the pair +S/H
72' radiator stock, works fine with no leaks- except over flow pipe came off...
Thanks ! The guys at 4WD.com did it at the local store- It did not come with shims- just got off the phone with them and they did not measure the caster angle pre- and post lift. It did have the same effect before the new suspension, now its just cushier because of the shocks and springs. They...
GO easy on me guys- I got my FJ40 about 6 months ago and have been working on it, she is a Jun 72' FJ40 bone stock. When I drive above 40 mph, she sometimes pulls to the right or left- almost like a twitch. My 79 VW bus used to do this until I changed the steering box. I did elect to replace the...
Thanks guys- was able to source a 3B and tranny and doing a swap in a couple of weeks- will pick up a turbo kit also- any recommendations from your experience? Cheers ! Diesel all the way !
My green monster
Here is my June 72' - first FJ40 I've owned, 3rd owner, mostly stock. Have aspirations of slapping a diesel in it.. added the roof rack and safari tent as well as the absolutely unnecessary and ridiculous fog lights. Don't judge me.
Hi- Anyone recommend an FJ40 friendly mechanic near Oakland CA? I need to either rebuild the top end (found small traces of oil residue on radiator cap- not freaking out but gives me a great excuse to rebuild the top end) I would do it myself but have no room or time. Even better would be a...
thanks for your help- I do want to keep it as stock as possible- which is against what I'm trying to do but those 3 inch lap belts suck. I'm thinking of ditching the roll bar, so I will have to figure something out which upgrades the seatbelts- I'm not planning on taking the top off the truck so...
Thanks a lot- just learned this at the swap meet also- Any suggestions on how to mount a 3 point seat belt without a roll bar? I did a search on the forum and didnt see anything. Cheers-
HI everyone- I finally did it, got my FJ40 - shes a 72 from June of that year- she came with a roll bar and one rear foldable bench seat which was pretty much rubbish. I recently got my hands on rear seats (foldable bench) from a 72' (sloped end seats) - when I went to dry fit them, I noticed...
Saw a pair advertized donkeys year son this forum, looking for coral covers fro 72' FJ40 bench seat and 2x long jump seats out back- PM me. I'm in Oakland CA - thanks
