    73 FJ40 with clutch problems

    I thought about this last night and I think I'm going to adjust the mount so that it's about 1/2 inch closer to the clutch arm and go from there. Seems like the slave rod was always near the end of its adjustment anyway. If someone could identify the clutch arm it would be appreciated.

    Rear Axle C Clip Fitment

    It's supposed to to just slide on. The pinion shaft will limit inward travel of the axle so they don't come in far enough in to fall off. Pull the axles out, as far as C-clip will allow, to finish your installation.

    Ordering a windshield

    I had not luck getting one cut in Atlanta....quotes ranged from $160 to $350.....and I called more than 30 shops. My guess is no one wants to deal with the laminated glass. I ended up ordering this with gasket and lock: Toyota Land Cruiser Windshield - 1965 - 1974 I received it in 2 days.
