40-series

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...

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...
