Howdy.
I've been lurking for awhile thought I ought to join.
I recently bought an ok condition '78 FJ40.
I don't know a lot about working on vehicles but I've decided to learn with this one.
It runs.
The rust it had was either Bondoed or sprayed with primer. So it's ugly.
I was doing about 40 mph the other day and it switched lanes all by itself...
So...I read and downloaded a post here about 4 things that typically go wrong with FJ40 steering and how to check them. (I don't "know" folks here yet so the poster's handle escapes me - but thanks). I think it was probably the steering stabilizer because mine was dented and bent. I ordered one from OME... not in yet.
So anyway - thanks for the opportunity to learn and ask questions.
