Chungas Revenge

This happened yesterday at a dog adoption event. Will probably have to crush the rig now....

I spotted this from my dash cam on Rollins Pass. Beautiful truck and nice guy. Here are a few pictures of us…

Well what do you know, it works a treat!

So while I haven’t had much time to work on the 40, I have been collecting parts. My next project is going to be a 4 speed (4 on the tree perhaps? TBD.) I picked up a 4 speed with t case. Crusty but it seems to go through the gears pretty well...

Well, now I’m committed. Cleaning up the frame and corners of the cowl. Need to bring my welder over and fab up some sheet metal patches. Going to replace the rear cross member. Should do the RMS while I have access. Maybe while the tub is at...

No leaks with the Remflex. I was able to confirm base timing, get it to idle and set my mix via the lean drop method. Starting easy and running very nicely which gives me piece of mind, finishing one thing before starting another. Now onto the...

This felpro leaked on both sides of the gasket, with and without permatex high temp. I don’t think the F intake compresses these metal portions around the port enough at their torque spec. They may work if the exhaust manifold was perfectly...

What’s on your cowl on the opposite side from your snorkel? I borrowed the idea for my basket from @spdwaver many years ago. There was already a standard basket there before I got the truck. (Owyhee country, Idaho, 2019)

Thanks for all the replies. No, not looking carry gas in the bed, as I sleep there on long trips. I have a 4" rear bumper with reverse lamps mounted in it, that is attached to a 360*, 2" brush guard. I would either mount a double pivot hinge...

Love the plate and sticker. I'm tempted to make one "This Toyota only does 55 but it will do it off road too"

Every year for my kids home coming weekend they have a student car show and to make it so it isn't a popularity contest they invite guests to show off their cars. I was asked to bring in Uma and for the most part she cooperated in getting...

Best of Luck J. 🍻 Edit: Looks like the bidders have come out swinging..!!!

I'd bid on it, but it would be like pissing in the wind.

I love it and hate it, all at the same time. Good luck!

I feel the same way. Nervous, excited, and nauseous.

I have been “adjusting” and finalizing the passenger Pro-Car seat. Some of the things I’ve run into… Install the sliders on the seat and then the FJ40 mount to the sliders GO NO FURTHER Once you’re ready to mount the assembly to the floor...

I need to get those collector plates too @Skreddy . Technically every drive in the 40 can be considered “for testing purposes” since you never fully know if something is going to break. :lol:

Moved into my new house and made the largest upgrade to my rig since I purchased in July.

In Texas they got rid of the mandatory Safety Inspection and now there "No inspection" fee (or some similar crap wording) so you still pay the phantom $7.50, but you don't have to get inspected.

Alright problem solved! The correct header and manifold showed up today and it fit like a gem! I went ahead and just threw the carb on to test fit it and other than the brake line being a bit in the way it went on nicely along with the...

⬆️⬆️ yes it's Braid

I got the exhaust back on. Fired it up and it won't idle and it's running super fat. I can give it 1/2 choke and it runs fine. I left it for the day as it was 7 pm but here are my thoughts. First off. It ran fine upon arrival. Second...
