1971 fj40

Nobody spoke up wanting the set (free if you cover boxing & shipping). So, I'm letting 1 go to someone wanting it for their spare and they are covering shipping. If anyone else wants one, let me know. If they are still here in a week I'll call the scrap guy to come get them. I have 4 OEM wheels...

As mentioned in previous threads, I am new to the FJ40 scene. 20+ years ago I was rebuilding things like a '34 Coupe, a '34 $-Door, a '45 Pickup, and my daily driver was a '69 Chevy C10 1/2 ton SWB Fleetside. Lost everything... stolen while gone to be with my grandfather / best friend / hero in...

I thought I'd share a resource I found. A guy was fixing up a 1971 FJ40 like mine (same color too) and decided to video document the process in order to help others. I subscribed! I know they do not want us posting links, but if you go on YouTube and search: "Mike Restores an FJ40" you can't...

Hello everyone. I've been driving a 1999 4Runner and a 2004 Sienna for many years (4Runner is daily driver with 1/4 Million miles on it and still going strong). But I have ZERO experience with the FJ40, and I've decided to take the leap and get into the game. I can't afford one of those nice...

It has been 3 years on this rebuild and getting around to refurbishment of switches and other small parts. My memory alludes me... where does this part get mounted and what is it for? It was not originally connected. I have searched but not able to locate any images or replacement switches...

Having trouble with idle solenoid in my stock Aisan carb. Just finished the rebuild kit and was having trouble with idle and figured it was the solenoid. It bench tested fine, but doesn't work once installed on the carb. It has 12v going to it, and I ran a ground straight to the battery and...

Up for sale or trade is a 3 on the tree transmission and attached transfercase from my 1971 FJ40. Believe it is in good working order but was never able to test it out. 1F blew head gasket and a 4 speed 2F was swapped in. Open to trades for fj40-fj60 parts also. Make offer shoot me a message!

I'm putting my 1971 fj40 back together and I noticed a nipple for a vaccuum line on the air breather that I don't remember removing(see pic below). I'm guessing it is no longer used after it was de-smogged, but can anyone put my mind at ease and let me know for sure? If it is unused, should I...

I’ve just got my 1971 back from a full restoration and I’m very happy! Just a few things I want to change and happy to go non OEM. The original rear hatch struts look great but are not terribly practical when I have to open and close regularly; with people and dogs getting in and out. What are...
