    Hitch receiver integrated into bumper

    I'm about to start building a rear bumper/tire carrier. I know there are a lot of threads on this already. But one thing I haven't found is the subject of integrating a hitch into a rear bumper. I can buy a bolt on hitch from man-a-fre, ccot, sor, or even JTO... Or I can weld a receiver into...

    1971 carb vacuum port connections...

    I have a '71 fj40 with an '86 2f block. The carb is from '71 and has had a vacuum port added. The dizzy the from '86, so it is vacuum advance and has a high altitude compensator on it. The block has been desmogged as far as I can tell. Also running headers and the '82 2f intake manifold...

    Smog pump is dead, idle pulley options

    I took the impeller veins out, and cleaned out the shrapnel and other grime. When the end cover is off, it spins freely. But when I put the end cover on it binds up. The roller bearings looked to be in decent shape. Maybe I did something during reassembly and it isn't centered properly or...

    Smog pump is dead, idle pulley options

    I have a 2f from an '86 fj60 in my Fj40. It is desmogged and I had the smog pump it place just to tension the water pump belt. The smog pump bit the dust, and now I'm looking for a good, budget replacement. I did try gutting the pump and that didn't make a difference. I think I can put...

    4spd tranny w/3sp tcase, trying to hook up linkage

    Those are the parts that I'm using, but it won't shift into 4wd... There isn't any way to install the shift fork wrong is there? Shift forks slides into collar and then bolt the cover on right? Is there anything else I might be overlooking that won't let me shift into 4wd? The lever has a...

    4spd tranny w/3sp tcase, trying to hook up linkage

    I have a 4 spd tranny and a 3spd tcase. I installed the tranny into my '71 cruiser a while ago. 2wd works great, but it has always been a work in progress so I haven't used 4wd for a while. Now it doesn't work, it was vacuum operated but I wanted to switch over to direct linkage anyway. I...

    Headlight fuse blows after 10 minutes

    I haven't done any electrical work on the cruiser for a while, so I can say I didn't swap anything in that is causing it. It does have a new fuse box and standard headlights. The fuse blew when I was idling in the driveway. I replaced it and it blew right away. There is a lot of snow up...

    Headlight fuse blows after 10 minutes

    Like the title says, my headlight fuse blows after a few minutes. Its done this twice, and I'm wondering if anybody has any ideas of where I can look for a problem. I know to look for any wires that may have rubbed through their insulation and are grounding out. The fact that it takes a...

    Transfer case linkage conversion...

    I was thinking about just welding in a peice to lengthen it. But I wanted to double check on here to see if anyone has done this. I'm not sure if the linkage will bind up or not if I do that.

    Transfer case linkage conversion...

    First of all, I'm converting my vacuum tansfer case linkage to direct mechanical. The hi/lo dash pull lever is also getting removed. I have a '71 FJ40 with the stock 3spd transfer case. But I do have a 4spd transmission. I ordered the parts from cruiserparts.net, I told them what I was...

    Tire carrier project and question

    what if you had the same setup on your rollbar as you do when its in the down position? you would have to make some sort of small extension so it would reach, but it would be pretty solid.

    FJ60 starter is the best thing ever!

    So I just swapped in a FJ60 gear reduction starter, and it makes a huge difference. I think it starts my engine quicker and sounds a lot more solid. Basically bolts right in, I did however have to extend 1 wire a few inches. Best part it was only $35 from TAP through ebay. Everybody should...

    warn 8247 controller wiring help...

    Likw the title says, I have an older Warn 8247 winch and my wired controller lost the plug. Well I found the plug and what happened is that all the wires simply pulled out of my 4 prong plug. Its all apart but I have no idea where each wire goes. There are 4 connections and 3 wires- Green...

    fj60 under an fj40

    you can swap in the engine from the fj60 right into you fj40. The newer engine will have the power steering pump on it already. All you would have to do is swap out you manual steering gear box out for one from a mini truck. Its pretty eaSY. There is no need to swap axles, plus that would be...

    brake booster vacuum

    Just a quick question about the brake booster vacuum hose. After many modifications and swapping all sorts of things around, I lost track of where the brake booster hose attached to. I'm assuming it can get hooked up to a few different places, like the intake manifold. Just wanted to double...

    trying to install longer wheel studs...

    Its not the shoes that are in the way, I'm not exactly sure what to call it. I'll figure out a proper name or post a pic later. I'm also thinking that I'll need to have a litttle room to spare, since I'm putting in longer studs.

    trying to install longer wheel studs...

    As the title says, I'm trying to install longer wheel studs on my '71 fj40. I was able to swap out the rear axle wheel studs. But when I went to remove the studs from the front axle, they won't slip out. The studs hit part of the drum brakes, unlike the rear axle. They are loose, so is there...
