I have a 1973 FJ40 that I have been slowly restoring. I have used this forum for much of the work that has been done and decided it was time to officially join the group.

The '73 is a unicorn model year. It would seem there are a number of changes that Toyota introduced in this model year which only latest for one model year or less. I have collect this information from the forum, experience and from other members (@Living in the Past , @Engineer8000 , @73FJ40 )...

Welcome to the site. Looks good. You have a pic of the back. It looks like your spare tire carrier is on the driverside. There should be a big backup light there.

Original F motor. Just rebuilt.

Welcome! I’ve only been around a year, but had lurked for 6 or 7 years prior to that as I daily a 100 series.

I’ve learned more here in the last year working on my ‘67 than I probably have in my 15+ years of working on various classics and enthusiast-ish vehicles. It’s a fantastic community.

Looking forward to seeing the progress!

I actually have 2 spare tire carriers on the back. I added the one on the drivers side to accommodate 2 wavian gas cans.
