nope..not today.... time for the middle one
I ordered a clutch master cylinder and the slave cylinder for my bj40. Clutch pedal has no pressure unless I panic press the heck out of it. Checked the fluid and it is very dirty and the slave is leaking. I should have flushed the line a long time a go.
Shame on me for being so careless..

That looks pretty clean.
On BAT they sure do look nice!
It just may be mine is an exception. I have it now 2 1/2 years as a Venezuelan restoration. The guys I got it from gave me a 6 month warranty that if anything was wrong, they’d be responsible. The truck has been a stellar experience owning and driving it. The finish is quite polished and as a result, I use it ONLY in good weather as it not my only Land Cruiser. I just couldn’t imagine water spots on that beautiful frame….

Now that is refreshing to hear. Who did you buy it from? PM me if you don't want to share it with the entire Interwebs.It just may be mine is an exception.

Why is smaller stronger?
I'm not a fastener manufacturer or a metallurgist, but the internet says this:
Smaller socket head cap screws (SHCS) often have higher tensile strength (measured in PSI or MPa) than larger ones primarily due to the manufacturing processes—specifically heat treatment, steel grain structure refinement, and cold working—which are more effective on smaller cross-sections.
According to industry standards (e.g., ASTM A574), socket head cap screws 1/2 inch and smaller have a minimum tensile strength of 180,000 psi, while those 5/8 inch and larger are rated at 170,000 psi.
Key Reasons for Higher Strength in Smaller Screws:
- Heat Treatment Effectiveness: Small screws can be quenched more uniformly during heat treatment. For larger diameter screws, it is harder for the cooling medium to reach the core of the fastener, resulting in a slightly softer, weaker center.
- Microstructure and Grain Refinement: Smaller diameter fasteners undergo more intensive cold working (like wire drawing) during production. This creates a more refined grain structure, which increases strength.
- Material Uniformity: The smaller cross-sectional area ensures a more uniform alloy structure, leading to higher consistent tensile properties.
- Thread Rolling Advantages: Smaller screws often have threads that are rolled, rather than cut. Rolling compresses the material, increasing strength and fatigue resistance compared to larger, sometimes machined, threads.
Unless I dreamt it, someone with a '1980 FJ40 on here was looking for pics of the blue wire he couldn't figure out the other day. I can't find the post bc I'm old. But here are some pics and a few wiring diagrams that hopefully will help. I have blue wires on my condensors. Washer pump wires are green.
While these diagrams show washer motor as "L" which is blue. My 1979 they are not blue. I hope this helps you out.
Picked up a new gas cap for my 3/1977 40 & it was only $12.44 after tax from the dealership. Available next day.
