Nice shot of the port n starboard rad support. Rad support finally getting some justice after being neglected by the “painter who didn’t paint” circa 1.0 “those Jeep parts”?
I recently acquired a 1982 FJ45 lhd Troopy. The truck is in overall original condition with the exception of the front seats. The original bases were retained but some bucket seats were added in place of the factory bench (I assume it was a...
Passed the CA smog test, again. It surprises me how well this old truck does. This is the first year I didn't monkey with with the fuel. I worry about this Fed truck in CA, so for past tests I'd roll into the shop on a nearly empty tank with a...
Despite what I’ve done, I had no expertise going in. Back when in ‘92, I was just a kid who’d grown up on a farm around a carpenter. I’d never done any bodywork before to speak of.
The only reason I’m clarifying this is that I want other DIYers...
I did a little bit of research on this before I decided to go 2f. the 292 and SBC take the same bell housing. It maybe the same motor mount location (I did not get that far looking into it. it would have been cheeper for me to go 292 because...
Both are nice kits. Just get a Remflex gasket and torque as it says on the package.
It’s all back together. The Wizard will be out tomorrow to glue the exhaust pieces back together.
With the roof rack off I was relieved to see that it fits in the garage but boy is it close. Took some effort pushing it in with the girlfriend at the helm but we were able to get er done.
The previous owner had used this for contracting work...
My pursuit for a 60 series has never been easy.
Ever since I was 16 I've wanted a 40 series or a 60 series. What can I say - I'm a sucker for round headlights and slow 6 cylinders. I've tried multiple times to get my hands on one here locally...
Just wanted to come in and introduce myself to the group. I just picked up my first FJ60 ('85) about 2 weeks ago and already loving this thing. My wife has been trying to convince me to buy a bronco for years... but that's something that I have...
And things just got better. Everyone in camp except Wendy and Myself knew that Will and the Grandkids were showing up. What a Great surprise. For 3 days all they wanted to do was drive the race truck. Will trailered his 60 and is was Awesome...
Never really dealt with this but what I remember is the J30 three speed would bolt to the GM bellhousing with a spacer Infront of the three speed. SM420 got the answer F series engine was the reverse. It required a wider pilot bearing to deal...
It's been a long time since I've researched it. I think it might bolt to a 1f bellhousing but can't remember. It's probably the same bellhousing pattern as a small block chevy. You would have to research. Lots of parts availability though. Even...
I vote 3fe or 2f. I just swapped out my SBC for a 2f (just what engine came up for sale first) remember you have to cut off the sbc mounts for that. As they always say all the little things will nickle and dime you. I always thought a 1kzte...
