I've kind of got a bee in the bonnet--no pun intended--about adding louvers to the Ugly Duckling 1970 FJ40 we are building for heat egress.
Might get louvers punched locally, but more likely will add louver panels. Something like the attached photo--just not so huge! Maybe two panels of 7 or 11...
I am trying to put in a Carb for my '77 FJ40.
But it is sitting too low.
Looks like I need a Carburetor Insulator Plate / Heat Shield.
Looking around the net I get conflicting years/months for a correct fit.
Any Idea on what will fit my rig? Which parts cover my 01/77. (and maybe a good...

I bought my 40 with a vintage air unit already installed. I think I found out why the heat didn't work so well. It appears it was never hooked up. At first I just thought it was because the hose is kinked, but then I realized the hose just connects the bottom pipe to the top pipe. It doesn't...
So I awake this morning to my wife saying "It's cold!". Yes honey, It's 19 degrees outside. No, its actually cold inside. My set up eventually will include a generator wired up to run only the gas boiler, refrigerator, and freezer (lights optional). I completely forgot about the programmable...
Howdy, I'm looking for a heat adjustment lever for my 1976 FJ40. Photo of what I'm looking for below. Preferably with the nylon bushings and clip. I can manufacture one if need be but would rather put my energy into the plethora of other work on the rig. Thank you.
Also there is a duck tape job and the metal tube is loose.
Id like to figure it out, where to start.
It "Warms up" but not hot.
assuming the metal tube needs to be refreshed.
And the duct tape on the air intake is bad.
I have 4-6 of these 4x4 heat exchangers with 57.9 CFM 12 vdc 3 watt puck fans. They would make great spot heaters or even ps oil coolers. Some have bent fins. Brass and aluminum. Let's say $40.00 each, 2 for $75 + postage.
Stock 72 FJ40 with 1F and 3 spd trans +tcase. I'm in the middle of a clutch/rear main/oil pan gasket job.
Below is the picture of my flywheel after getting it resurfaced. There are small heat cracks all over it which didn't fully machine out. You cant feel the cracks with a fingernail.
Any...
My flapper was loose on the shaft so I pulled it apart.
Does the bend in mine look correct?
I temporarily re-installed the flapper in the same orientation I found it.
This would be cold
Here's hot
Arrrrg, I've searched this forum over and over with mixed results, several threads with similar issues end with no conclusion(which drives me nuts, post an update on what your resolution was!!!!).
Anyhoo, 94 FZJ80(275k miles), sat for several weeks, when I started driving it again, it starts...
My AC gets nice and cold but when I go to defrost mode with AC on, the temp with get less cold but not hot when I turn the slider bar to hot. Also heater does not get super hot in from vs. heater in the rear.

Thoughts?
Thanks
My 2005 LX470 blows very hot air when in auto mode. And the heat does not stop while the truck runs, regardless of temperature setting. I showed it to a Toyota dealer who said something like "a couple or three actuators may have gone bad and will need to be replaced, but that requires removing...
Purchased my first LC 100, 2003 model, last year around the beginning of winter here in Florida. Early mornings got cold and I might have turned the heat on twice. When I had the heat set on full blast it was blowing cool air and never got hot. I didn't think it was a big deal at the time as...
