Their are schematics out there that are that have been color color coded. If you perfer to mark your own by tracing out the circuit. Some circuits will share the same grounds so look for that. Work in sections. Make sure have the lamps. Verify...

I've streamlined a setup to place a 5 to a f/2f in 40s using the flat bottom factory 69 style rubber mount. It has an integrated skid under the transfer. Cross pieces are cut from 1/2" steel. the rest is 1/4. Crossmembers are pre welded so you...

On this episode of “please don’t do this to your Land Cruiser” If you have these chrome caps on your truck you should take them off. Well, unless you can’t which is the case with these. They had to be cut off. Next, if you have one of these on...

Yeah man. Thanks. I don’t have much experience doing this kind of work. I am glad you weighed in. Oh wait ……

Please stop using these kind of bolts and shackles. They are always….always frozen solid. Had to burn out the top bolts. But I won.

What in the Californi Fuc is that exhaust manifold? Never seen such a thing

Great, sounds like you got it done. Watch the temp. Keep monitoring hopefully you can confirm you have an engine worth running. I do remember blowing a head gasket back in the day, for some reason it ran a hot but would not overheat. I had no...

I installed new head gasket, lapped the valves installed new pilot bearing rear main seal and pan gasket Cleaed up the head cked out ok with leak down test if the lower end ck out when I run it probley will shave down a late f head .100 I...

I wouldn't be surprised if the head gasket was installed wrong. Or the head maybe not torqued correctly. Once it's back together and running you can check the oil pressure. And check it after the engine is nice and hot. I have seen them dropped...

My diatribe on donor parts for the disc brake conversion https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/tech-talk-ultimate-40-55-series-disc-brake-conversion-parts-thread-work-in-progress.1039423/

Spent some time for my winch shaft (bj43 1979). Easy start of the shaft restoration. Decided to post some condensed info, might be useful for the new comers.

So I have good news and Not bad news but a change of plans that Might be bad. The good news! my dad helped me move the engine and things to get everything staged for the engine swap that I will be doing next weekend (weather permitting). I will...

Setbacks aside, I am loving just seeing the 2f under the hood. I am going to focus on wiring and button up things till I can get my part in.

Hello all, long time lurker, first time member here at mud. Current project is a 1969 FJ40. I'm resealing the motor, doing a 60 series front disc conversion, upgrading the aging suspension, and I'm hoping to put electric power steering on this...

I had two made when I installed a 5 speed tranny. Not sure what he used but it was metric size. For me I really care less as long it close enough and balanced. That was a while back...way back. It still running with'em.

You can probably take measurements and get a pair. Almost sounds obscene.

I bought some for a skilsaw from the hardware store bin drawers and resized them on my belt sander. That was 20 years ago, so pb4ugo, it isn't a crap shoot, it's a reality. I can't remember the brand of saw etc, but just get them oversized. If no...

I believe the blower motor for the carb are same as for the heater so could use it as a parts donor. Just saying incase you have one in your stash.

Jason @TRAIL TAILOR is a Dobisons dealer. Great price. Easy transaction.

I am curious how the vacuum diaphragm fits three and half inches further back. I went with a manual T case shifter when I did this to my 68. But I also used a later transmission cover that was made for a four speed that was work with the vacuum...

Thanks to @red66toy for some “on-the-job coaching”. Removed starter then placed floor jack with wood block underneath rearward end of oil pan. Removed hi/lo shift linkage on passenger side and clutch slave cylinder on driver side before turning...

Today's progress report: Began by disconnecting parking brake cable at firewall and coiling cable. Then went on to removing driveshafts, disconnecting vacuum lines to 4WD actuator, disconnecting 4WD and reverse switches. Then drained...
