Be patient with your brake line nuts when disassembling. IOW don’t strip them like I did. Find a heavy walled line nut wrench. Poor quality line wrenches will flex. A small torch flame will help break the bond. There’s an old MG mechanic who has a good rebuild video on youtube.

Cool rig-mine has a VIN only 300 away. It’s possible they came over on the same boat. Unlikely, but possible.
Carry on, good luck

So did you ever get the transfer case into gear so it will move? The low range selector lever (on the dash) looks like it might be pulled out slightly, putting the transfer in neutral.

You’ve got it! I pushed the selector lever all the way to the dash and she sprung to life. Runs pretty good and now she moves.

There is a pdf copy of the Chilton's manual on the following google page. It covers the '66 FJ40 and is downloadable. It is the LAST manual on the page. Not the highest quality scan in the world, but it is complete:

Thanks for the links, it will help greatly with my 66. I've been looking for a good link for awhile now.

Thank you everyone! I’ve been out of pocket lately and I’m hoping to yank the wheel(s) and check out the wheel cylinders.
