Thanks dude, this is helpful. Long term I will have to separate it all since most of the rust is right there in the middle (where the spot welds are), so I have to replace with new metal patches
Hi all. I'm in the process of removing rust from the tub (our every day task when dealing with 40s I guess) and I wonder if there is a way to separate the rear tub from the front without cutting
I see that there are some bolts that go with the quarter panels and attach to the pillars where the...
Thanks a lot for the recommendations. I wanted to keep the 3 on the tree shifting, but reading the comments seems that is not a good idea. Regarding to that, the problem is the top speed and starter?
I asked them for the OM617 to GM but they mentioned they only have Mercedes to Toyota. I saw long time ago they had one to GM, do you know if they discontinued it?
Hi folks. Recently I got an OM617 diesel engine that I would like to put in my FJ40 but having a hard time finding an adapter plate to keep the 3 speed transmission (I would like to keep the 3 on the three config).

Thanks for your help. With lock pliers I was able to take the rear doors bolts (unfortunately one bolt head broke leaving the threads inside).
Now I'm struggling with the bolts of he windshield frame. I was able to take one out using the impact screwdriver but there are other 3 that I'm not...

Decided to take them out and seems like a bug or something took the cluster as home. I don't know what type of bug/animal this was
Thanks for the reply. I was able to take them out and seems like they were from a gecko or lizard. I'll start testing the cluster, and if I find something not...
Hello all. Working on an FJ40 1965 and noticed that the oil pressure meter/indicator has 2 styrofoam like balls inside of it and are free, while fuel and water temp gauges don't have them. Wondering if that is expected or a bug was inside the cluster leaving things inside. Thanks for your help
