musson quoted me three times the price of man a fre and they could not even get the damn slave for like ten days to two weeks! i just ordered the rebuild kits to tide me over. no one had anything that was near by except advanced had the master three days and oreilly's had a slave three days. my 5/85 production date is a real bitch no one stocks anything. man a fre had it for a good price but i am going to hold out till jt gets the blue clutch master and slave for my truck. until then the kits will suffice, in the long run i will always have those rebuilt suckers as back ups once i get the good stuff from jt.

Don't over look Cruiser Dan on this site. He works for American Toyota. Do a search. He has his direct number on this site and gets you good prices. Musson was pretty easy for my air hose I just ordered.

Front u-bolts: Do I have to extend them? I went by the springs place yesterday and I never thought about that when he asked. Is it a matter of measuring the axle and the spring pack to decide if they need to be extended?

you should measure the spring pack and the axle check it against a measurement on the old setup on your truck now. you can always grind off the excess. something i need to do to mine.

When i did mine the u-bolts that they made for me where about 1/2 inch longer. HE told me that this was the smallest u-bolt that he could make. (Lafayette Spring)

Thanks guys. Corey, that's where I went. He just wanted me to make sure and I really hadn't even thought of how long they should be. I'll know this weekend. He said he can have them made while I wait. Nice guy.

Those folks are good, like you said he takes no time while the lady's ringing you up he's getting your u-bolts and your out the door. They can build custom springs as well and do a good job of it.

Okay tested the locker today, wow. I found out that I have to adjust the ebrake. I'm not to sure how to do this so I need some advice. My e brake is on the drums in the rear not on the tranny. Is it just a screw that can be tweaked?

I usually have lots of answers, but that one I'm not 100% positive on...I've had a ton of cruisers, and seem to remember having to apply the e brake while backing up (Rev). I think your model has the Self-adjusting type. I'm not sure though...someone might want to chime in and straighten us out on this one.

I wasn't 100% but I am 99% that somewhere in 1980/81 onward FJ40's had self-adjusting drums on Land Cruisers...and 75-onward Toyota trucks too....since you have an 81, I figured yours had the self-adjusting type.

10-4....every 1980/81 onwards I know of self-adjusts...if yours doesn't, then likely your E-brake either doesn't work well or something isn't greased well, etc. Usually you tighten it manually all-the-way, then backoff till it drags a little (on ALL MODELS this part is the same)...but on 81's onward, they self-adjust via E-brake and you shouldn't have to manually adjust unless the Ebrake is way out of adjustment or broke.

Yep, the later 80 models had the e-brake cable running parallel with the rear axle like the mini-trucks and you can adjust it there. Alot of times when you put a lift it would either one cause slack or two it would be to tight and have to give slack. How's the locker do?

The one thing that has bothered me with my cruisers is the slave and master cylinder. Mostly the slave. I hate having to drive home popping the clutch in traffic because my slave cylinder is shot. Over the years I have changed or honed out at least 8 slave cylinders. I don't know if anyone else has this problem or if I am just lucky. You can add years of life to your cylinders by changing the fluid once a year. What happens is that condensation builds up in your lines. Even though your clutch/break fluid is lubricating your lines and cylinders, the water from condensation is oxidizing your cylinder as well. Changing the fluid will keep cylinders smooth and rubber plunger from being worn down. Hope this helps.

Ok, I have looked at 125 threads on freeze plugs and I can't find any with my exact problem. A few weeks back I had a water leak. I thought it was comming from the engine drain plug. Not so lucky. My freeze plug has sprang a leak. It is directly under the manifold. I have never changed one before and there isnt much room for swinging a hammer. Has anyone changed this on a fj-60 while the motor was still in the truck? I think I have enough room to pry it out. Getting a new one in is going to be tricky. Can I use a puck jack to install the new one, or will I just create a huge hole in the side of my motor?
