    HELP - Need mechanic in NorCal to do a diesel conversion

    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...

    Noob help - my 72' FJ40 has irregular steering gitters

    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...

    Noob help - my 72' FJ40 has irregular steering gitters

    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...

    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...

    Hew here- Jun 72' FJ40 rollbar backseats?

    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...

    Hew here- Jun 72' FJ40 rollbar backseats?

    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...
