    split transfer case

    Yeah it was pretty loud, and yeah its definitely split. Part of the housing is still bolted to the transmission and the other half is sitting on the top of the bash plate. I had actually topped the transfer up the day before it went, but I've since found out it was probably leaking from a...

    split transfer case

    :'( Just got towed back from an expensive weekend at the beach. The transfer case on my 78 40 series is now in two pieces. Not sure what happened exactly, one minute it was driving along fine, then it just let go with a bang. Is this a common problem or was I just unlucky? I have stock...

    Windshield Removal - can the gasket be

    For all my glass I just ran butcher's twine under the inside lip of the gasket, pulled it tight to compress it, squirted all the way round with soapy water and popped her out. Just remember to take the windscreen wiper motor cover off first, or you'll probably break the windscreen when you try...

    parabolic springs

    dogboy, that's one of the sites I've been checking out. As far as I know the fj40 springs are two leaf front and rear, with 50mm lift. I wanted to see how they compared to OME both price wise and in terms of performance. There is heaps on the rover sites about them, and it seems hardly...

    parabolic springs

    just wondering if anyone out there has had any experience with these on an fj40. I'm looking to upgrade my suspension soon and they sound like the way to go.

    fj40 water tank

    G'day, I'm looking at putting a water tank in my 78 40 and was wondering where one will fit. I'd prefer to mount it underneath somewhere, and probably use an electric pump or an air compressor to pump the water out the tap, probably mounted on the rear bumper. Just wondering if anyone has any...

    wish me luck

    We're a bit more lax on the roadworthys and stuff here in queensland, but your car would be off the road for good if you'd spoken to the cop like that, at least in my town. It happened to a few of my mates when we were still young and silly... Roadworthys are still a bitch though, my shorty...

    free wheelers

    I dunno if this helps but when we broke a hub on a 95 hilux we were able to replace it with a free wheeling hub from a 70 series without any probs. The only diff between the lux and 70 series hubs is the colour of the dial. Not sure if the 70 - late 40 series hubs are interchangeable, but I...

    in dash stereo

    It's an aussie one, so no plastic. The bench seat rules out a centre console, but it looks like an overhead console would probably be an easy way to mount it without damaging the dash. It would also give me somewhere to mount the UHF too. Don't s'pose anyone has any good ideas/pics for a...

    in dash stereo

    just need to know if a standard size head unit will fit in the hole in my dash without having to cut it. There's nothing in there now but the plastic insert that came from the factory. Also, what does it attach to behind the dash, do I need to make a bracket off the top of the heater unit?

    2 questions: One head related one not..

    I'm with Bad Religion (cool band too), sounds like a hand throttle, my 78 has one.

    painting my 40 series

    Mine took five litres of dulux acrylic and the colour was dune beige, but that was stripped back to the tub and each panel painted separately with plenty of paint. It got probably five coats of the top coat all up. If I did it again though I'd use 2 pack, bit more hassle to spray but it's a...
