Hello from South Jersey - new guy here. Just picked up a Blue 1971 FJ40 recently. Problem is, I purchased from a dealer, and there's no history or documentation attached. Only thing they seem to know for sure, is that is was restored somewhere about 10 years ago. I know about a thimble of info in regard to these rigs, but I fell in love with this thing and now here I am - willing to learn.
I'm hoping maybe the previous owner is a member here, or someone will recognize it. With my limited knowledge, there's obvious signs that it's not stock. I just don't know the extent of it. Another problem is that since I don't know the exact mods, how will I replace things as needed?
For example:
Not sure which engine it has, or how much is stock.
I'm fairly certain the front disc brakes is a conversion - what rotors and pads will I buy?
