Yeah, I stopped and saw Jason Sunday, and drove the 40 to the Partridge Creek ski and Trapp event on Thursday… But you’re right, we need to meet up somewhere

More wheel eye candy, since I put the top and doors back on yesterday:

These aren't Dean's. Bolt on clips. Pretty slick.

44" super swampers will really reduce hiway rpms. Good luck getting them rolling with stock gears though.

No. I’ve had BFG 105x15x33’s at 8 or 9 psi on the trail and never lost a bead. No problems with crowning or wearing funny either.

He has a stock 75-80 2F/H42/case. He'll be putting in a 81-84 H42/split with the overdrive/3:1 gear set I am building him. This way he has both low crawl, good top end, and an easy install (no tunnel mods, only one driveshaft to shorten, no...

Coolant overflow tank update - looks good to me. ...

I am also swinging the pendulum back from the 3.70 R&P I did @12 years ago to 4.56 R&P to be able to enjoy more crawl on the trails…

81-84 H42 / splitcase with 10% overdrive gears and 3:1 low. will bolt right into his 74 with only a front driveshaft shortening as the only change. Also my rear drum brake kit for the parking/Ebrake.

100%. The "self-tune" will get it running and will run fine until it doesn't. These things need to be tuned and the fuel map adjusted once the system is running fine. It learns the parameters, and then those parameters need to be closed to allow...

In case anyone finds this thread with a similar issue, the extender didnt work. I was still burning up O2's and getting pretty frustrated. I found a local Fuel Injection Specialist that works with Snipers and took it to them. They were able to...

FWIW: At almost 5 years & about 17K (+) miles of running my Sniper 2300, I'm still on the original O2 sensor supplied with the original kit.

Since this is a FAQ style thread, just to be clear. That is not the idle screw. The idle is set by the computer, whatever you decided you wanted it to be during the Wizard. From experience I’ve been doing 750-800 depending on the patient. Some...

Put a wanted ad in the classified section. Also in your clubhouse section too.

If you are just trying to solve a parking brake, I make a very nice complete kit to retrofit the later drum brakes to the early-1980 axle. I also sell new H55f/transfer case combos, but with the 3.70 gears (that you should have in your 1980...

I was seriously contemplating jumping into the H55 pool…. But @cruisermatt provided another path forward option - I won’t be able to answer the driveshaft length question

JohnnyC, I went from a 3spd to a 81 FJ60 H42 with a 34mm split case. I had to change the tunnel, this helped me with having the hole in the right spot for a 5spd down the road. I then swapped in a set of 3.70 diffs and ran that combo for a while...

Pulled rear driveshaft to make working on the rear shims a little easier but mainly wanted to check spline engagement to make sure I don’t drop a driveshaft at full droop. I started by marking where driveshaft sits at ride height with yellow...

3" lift Alcan springs, 33x10.5x15 on stock steelies. Next time I need tires, I'll go to 35x10.5x15.

I ordered a 4" set from Alcan also, built specifically for the weights I normally run on my Aqualu 40. What di you wind up doing as far at shackles - stock length, extended?

I ordered my springs from Alcan springs in Grand Junction, CO. They will reach out and discuss what you are trying to achieve and ask about loading on each axle. I had them make me a set with a 4 inch lift.

Not City Racer, but 16" wheels ala Mr. Manny's specs. Toyo M-55s, 255/85/r16 2-1/2" Alcan lift in rear, 200-300 lbs in back. PO installed shackle reversal in front, ... unknown lift.

We went “round n round” on the selection but, the juice was certainly worth the squeeze..😉

yes, they are. I just got 5 in for my FJ40 - REBUILD. Currently on 33s w/15" stock steelies.... looking for a 33" - 35" NARROW tire option - but not willing to do some crazy OHV use only SXS tire. Need something safe for the FJ40 and the...

When I swapped the regular discs for the new Monte Carlo ebrake discs I discovered this truck still had 9mm brake lines so that replacing them with 10mm to talk to the TSM kit took a while. Next I bled it all out. Along with the...
