    Help Sourcing specific LED Headlight for FJ40

    Yep, These were the original series made by Truck-Lite. They're no longer available. They were out less than a year before changing to the new design.

    Engine color

    I painted mine gray so I would see any leaks that might appear.

    1967 Tail Light Shields

    I don't know if anyone makes a protector/shield for the '67 round taillight. At least, I've never seen one. Are you maybe talking about the buckets? https://forum.ih8mud.com/40-55-series-tech/119768-early-tail-light-bracket-help.html#post1563952

    FJ40 Fendor Flares

    I bought a roll of generic flare material (rubber) from JC Whitney just to get it thru inspection. It works OK, but I don't like the look.

    How far do you go?

    I had mine sand blasted by a co-worker, then I used metal ready and rust bullet (used a brush). Top coated portions of it with rustoleum black. I'm happy with it.

    Top?

    or... Black will be warmer in the winter. I voted white, but do what makes you happy. It's your 40.

    Aftermarket turn signal switch needed

    Look for a Signal-Stat on ebay. That's what I run and it was easy to wire.

    I switched the "ACC" and "ST" text at the switch, if that's all you needed... See attached. I just edited it in Acrobat. Not sure who designed it or what software they used.

    Locker's assembled! Pics inside

    I don't think it'll fit bolted to that angle iron like that. I haven't done mine yet, so I may be wrong... :D Thanks for the pics.

    Calling all wiring experts

    It's not a charge indicator light. It appears it's used as a resistor for the 1-wire alt as bsilva132 stated above. I have a 1-wire as well but I'm using an EZ harness so it's not needed. You could replace it with a true resistor (not sure what value you'd need off hand) or keep it like it is.

    Wiring woes and the like

    I'm running 12v to my gauges. Never noticed anything about 7v. Seem to work fine. Maybe one of the gauges steps it down as they are wired via the same feed wire. And yes, you're applying full time power to the gauge and the other line is the line that goes to the sender (variable ground). The...

    Headlight Bucket repairable?

    Hello all! Finishing up the odds-n-ends on my '66 build. Pulling the headlight buckets apart for sandblasting and found out one of the plastic adjuster inserts is broken. Are there replacements available or do I need another bucket? You can't tell it's broken in the picture, but the upper...

    1975 2F Piggy with Weber 38 carb and DUI dizzy...need some insight please:)

    How old is your gas? I went thru heck trying to get my rig started, and when it did, it would die with throttle, much like you're describing. Gas I was using was more than a year old. I tried some fresh gas and it ran like a dream. Just something you may want to try.

    Need some guidance with rear sill replacement

    Just use your square tubing. Then on the ends, bend some 2"x1/4" flat stock to match the radius of the tub (fender). Once the bend is formed and you have the sill mounted, you can add a 1/2"x1/2" bar across the radius to keep it formed if it's needed.

    First attempt

    I just started an EZ harness last weekend. Using the 21 circuit. It's about 15 more than I need, but I'll make do. All I can say is go slow and think ahead. I'm still in the thinking portion myself at this time. I downloaded the instruction manual from Painless and it's much better than the 6...
