Search FJ40Jim here on mud or PM him using that name.
He is in Lancaster, Ohio. Better allow 3 months or so for the turn around time on the rebuild.

Yep, that why I added this statement. I have heard nothing but good things. Mine has been with him since middle of June but I know it will be right when I get it back.
I think Mark (65swb45) is the only other one that does rebuilds on the 2F at the same level Jim does.
He is in Burbank, CA but I don't think he is taking on any more work.
PM him, I might be wrong.
Tried to locate Jim C. via PM etc. a couple of weeks ago. Didn't hear back...too bad, sounds like a good guy.
I don't know what Jim C. charges for a rebuild, but checked around and local prices for having my carb rebuilt were in the $400 range...and by unknown entities. Rebuilt units from usual Cruiser vendors were $450+. Decided to go full boat and bought a new OEM carb for $650. (price w/25% TLCA discount) Figure if it lasts another 250K mi the difference will only run me $.0001/mi.!!!
BTW: Huge improvement.

Jim did a great job with my carb.
Sherpa 60 who did you go through to get a anew carb i may have to call them soon too.
Eric J and Sherpa60, I sent you both a PM.
Mark 65swb45 may have a few new ones or some rebuit ones.
Champion Toyota in Texas. They offer TLCA discounts up to 25%. (800) 327-2087. Shannon (sp?) is the TLCA guy, ask for him.
For the pricey bits that I have wanted new, I have gone to these guys for over 8yrs. Aggressive pricing and no CA state taxes (more than covers shipping).
Local Toyota dealer quoted $1025 for the carb. At $650+/- on my doorstep....could be worse!
Jeez, I was just about to say that $650 for a new Jap carb is criminal. $1000 for a frockin stock carb?
Cruiser Solutions in NH sells rebuilt carbs for $250. They are a reputable shop as far as I have heard.....

Why don't you just get a Ford Taurus or something and stop moaning and groaning about the prices of parts......
