Like many others before me, my 40 had a choke cable that was in very bad shape and beyond repair. Of course like many before me, I went online to order a new one only to discover that Toyota had discontinued FJ-40 choke cables years ago.
What was I to do? There were plenty of aftermarket solutions, but frankly, they all looked like sh**, and did not have the period correct pull knob on the end.
So I set out to make my own.
I started by purchasing this cable on eBay. Item # 142173196682
Of course, it had a chincy pull head on it that looks the mould was crafted by a 6 year old.
And it certainly did not look like my original pull knob
