Really odd… I searched “wiring harness” specifically and literally nothing came up. Kept thinking how weird that would not be all over the forum.
And I swear I know how to use a search bar!!!
This guy must be the sorcerer supreme when it comes to FJ40‘s, as everybody is pointing me in his direction. Already got an email out to him, thinking exactly what you were thinking!
Thanks!
Cool. And thanks for the link. I've got that in hand already and ordered up one of the fancy color reference posters as well.
Searched a bit but haven't seen a whole lot of recent. Will give another look.
Also, not entirely sure what you mean by steering column... it's all toyota from the...
I'll spare you the gory details, but... my '71 FJ40 currently finds itself without a wiring harness. Well, it's still here... but now it's on the hood instead of under it (and the dash and wherever else).
Good news: All the wiring was cut and/or pulled from the original components, which are...
Been debating hard about either 1) rehabbing the existing top on my 71, 2) tracking down a better condition used piece, or 3) buying a fresh one.
With all the hassle of removal and (re)attachment (not to mention inevitable repair work), seems like option 2 is a non-starter. Either need to fix...

Patina is cool and all, but this thing is all over the place in terms of...
Before I drop cash on even a pint of $50 what I'm still not sure is the right paint, I wanted to ask...
1) Any tips on verifying paint code for my 71 FJ 40? The Toyota paint chart says T451 is the closest match, but every color swatch on the internet seems different (and way off).*
2) Anyone...
Also a possibility... but that veneer is seriously ON there!
Plus, I make leather stuff for a living and I gotta think it'd look pretty cool with the upgrade.
P.S. This beast is already so far from stock, there's no need to even pretend it's headed back in that direction.
Before I go to the trouble of building it from scratch, wondering if anyone has a digitized (or analog, I guess?) layout of a 71 FJ40 dash.
Looking to remove/cover some old wood veneer with leather and would be way easier if I had the detailed, measured layout of all the existing...
