40-series

**Price Drop** Well this hurts me to do, I've been working on this thing since 2016, and there's a lot of temptation to stick it in my garage, but my dad said he has no desire to work on or drive his 40 anymore so it is for sale. 1973 FJ40, Chevy 350, H42, 3-speed case We bought this in 2016...

Hey everyone! I'm new here. Wondering if anyone has a set of driver's side seat tracks that will fit my new-to-me seat. Also could use a metal back cover plate for the middle part of the passenger seat. Thanks for reading. This is a great community to be a part of! - Matt

I have an electric power steering setup that came off my 1984 BJ42. It is marked as a direct fit for 1981 and newer trucks, but I imagine it could be easily adapted to earlier models with a little ingenuity. This one is for a LHD application. It is a nice little kit. I drove the truck for a...

I have this cool and unique Factory 40-series cold weather radiator flap that came on my 1984 BJ42. Only removing it because I need the space for an intercooler. It comes with the mounting brackets and the little tab to guide the pull cable. Asking $200 plus shipping from Cincinnati, OH...

Looking for some 16" splits for a 40-series. At least two of my five are too far gone for me to want to put them back on the truck. Something in Southern California-ish as I don't wish to deal with shipping.

My name is Joel Ericson. I've been on MUD for some time. Via some encouragement from fellow cruiserheads at the Solid Axle Summit, I recently sprang for a small business membership so that I can pitch my “wares” to you all here. I’m not much of a salesman… but I do have a lot to offer if you...

thanks in advance.

So, as i mentioned in my midlife crisis post - the FJ43 from Colombia may have to wait a bit. My son picked up this 1977 FJ40. I was a bit skeptical at first but it is actually not as bad as I was expecting (at least not yet). Appears to be pretty much all original with the exception of a dealer...

I can see that I am going to have lots of questions with my 73 FJ40 that I recently brought home so I figured I would consolidate them in one single thread. I'm impressed with the many immaculate 100 point restorations here but my project will be about turning my neglected cruiser into a rough...

Asking for my step dad here. A while back his 1973 fj40 was stolen from their property. Hey got it back thanks to Facebook but nothing legally could be proven… A second attempt to steal it happened a few months later by the same people. Anyways, it’s suspected that the thief’s drove the 40 on...

New to me 76 FJ40. Headlights worked no issues until yesterday. I went out for a walk with my kid and since he was asleep when I got back I took advantage of the few extra minutes and swapped out the old turn flasher with a new one. Tested flashers - they worked, got kid up and went along with...

How did you restore your signal plastic covers?

Hello all, I have a 1977 FJ45 and I'm trying to determine the production month. It was originally from El Salvador and I'm in California and need to get it smogged :( Does anyone know of a site that has the codes to decipher a VIN and / or the frame number? Thank you, Mike

I’ve known the temp gauge in my 40 didn’t work since I bought and it’s never really bothered me. About a week ago though I had an issue where I thought it might be overheating and was really wishing it worked. So I’m trying to make that happen. I started doing some reading and testing. I...

My alternator has been questionable since I acquired this 40. Hate to replace oem with a crap aftermarket part. What's available that's recommended? Anyone replaced one recently?

My 2f motor will have a small amount of run on most times I drive it and turn it off. About one second after turning off the key. Sometimes it is very slight and other times it goes for a second or two and then there is a fairly big hiss type sound before it stops. Is there a common cause of...
