    Introducing the Deathmobile, 74 FJ40

    My son took some Senior Pics with the Landcruiser. I think a couple could be magazine covers. These are true pics with no touch up or photo shop. I did have to really reduce the size of the pics to attach it. The photographer was laughing at me b/c my wife was fussing over Tyler and his...

    Introducing the Deathmobile, 74 FJ40

    Here's a pic of the loot I've aquired: 2000 Taco rear end w/ e-locker although I couldn't get it to work when I wired it up. 1972 Chevy pickup TH350 attached to a NP205 transfer case with cross member. I've purchased the JB Custom twin stick set up but haven't installed it yet. There's a...

    Introducing the Deathmobile, 74 FJ40

    I bought this Hula girl years ago for my 40 and finally put her on my dash. It was an idea with good intentions but poor real life results. The stiff suspension of the 40 had her dancing all over but she couldn't hold on when I turned into the ally and she went flying. One and done as far as...

    Introducing the Deathmobile, 74 FJ40

    Just installed some 7" LED 75w Daymaker DRL headlights today, ebay $82. Really simple to do. Make sure to get CXD-M75-A so they are oriented correctly. I originally received CXD-M75-C and they only fit up side down. The seller refunded my return postage and sent me the correct ones. This...

    Builds A 13 Year Old and His Future '76 FJ40

    As mentioned above, I'd suggest to get it back to a driver as often as possible in between projects. Awesome idea to spend time w/ your kids. Perhaps a family camping trip with it as soon as he can drive.

    Introducing the Deathmobile, 74 FJ40

    I realize that the Warn VR8000 winch is a recreational user level quality but that is all I do. A couple weeks ago my wife mentioned that I ought to get a winch for the 40 = So I did. She was surprised that it only took her mentioning it for me to put one on. I haven't ran the cable out and...

    Introducing the Deathmobile, 74 FJ40

    Finally found a place for the radio. Gotta love zip ties. Guess I won't wire up the glove box plug now. BTW 10 years ago I found what I believe is an FJ40 OEM trouble light with wooden handle in my grandparents porch closet. Figure my Grandfather picked it up at some auction. I just have...

    Introducing the Deathmobile, 74 FJ40

    My passenger side door handle was making a racket at every bump. I tried to tighten up the rivet a bit w/ a hammer on a vise but that was a waste of time. Ended up copying someone here: drilled a hole in the middle of a plastic bottle cap, cut the top off w/ a pie shaped cutout into the...

    1971 FJ40 Chevy V8 Radiator Question

    I have a CSB400 that always ran hot on the OEM rad. Years ago I put in a Howe racing alum rad and never had an issue again. Now I believe you can buy an alum rad the same size as the original which may be the way to go. For mounting mine, I used about an 18" of a street sign post with all the...

    Introducing the Deathmobile, 74 FJ40

    When the curved drag link ( going from a higher to lower elevation on the front ) was on it and you gunned it causing the front to rise, the curved link would twist causing the steering to turn itself left a bit. The opposite occurred during braking when the nose would lower causing an...

    Introducing the Deathmobile, 74 FJ40

    Not sure where this door handle came from. It's not the regular door handle that I could get. It's not away from the door enough and rubs. I looked everywhere for a fuel door lock with no luck. Finally, I went to Ace Hardware and bought a cheap mailbox lock. I had to bend the locking tab a...

    Introducing the Deathmobile, 74 FJ40

    I tried everything out there to get the dash knobs bright and white. Latex and oil based paints didn't work. Finally just went and got a white crayon from the kids school bag and that worked incredible. Also, I can just keep the crayon in the glove box and touch up the knobs whenever they...

    Introducing the Deathmobile, 74 FJ40

    I wanted some side rails but everything that I saw was too long or too expensive. I was at a farm show and saw an auto tech display w/ some receiver steps. I was wanting them as side rails and wanted to buy his display items. He came up with the idea of getting a bolt on receiver and just...

    Introducing the Deathmobile, 74 FJ40

    The kids didn't like the bikini straps hitting their heads so I wrapped them down, around and back to the front windshield where I attached them to the hard top mount. It's also a cheap way to get the safari look. One of the reasons I decided to get around to posting is that I've seen lots of...

    Introducing the Deathmobile, 74 FJ40

    Here is the double steering arm I fab'd from the tech thread. The thread simply says to drill out the holes large enough to tighten the bolts on the lower arm. That is some hardened steel, the machine shop I went to had a difficult time drilling out those holes. We welded the top one to the...
