70fj40

Wiring progressing well.

Yep. Est 1.5-2.0 miles per kWh. 70kWh pack. Real life numbers.

I thought I had a lot of tools and spare parts in my 40. After this thread I feel inadequately prepared.

Just remembered something else worth sharing. My father was not at all mechanically inclined. I remember as a kid when something went wrong with the family car he would just open the hood in the driveway (which was near the street) and stare at...

DECORATIVE Steel buttons drilled into the tub 😳 to match the positions of the magnets in the top

Back from summer of 2020, the ole iron pig feeling right at home!

More recent photo! Rebuilt 2f, Holley Sniper EFI, OME 3" lift, and tons of OEM parts. All original Arkansas 55! Bought and sold in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

Call it a day A handful of pits in the surface. This is not a job that I wanted to be doing right now, but I wanted to be able to say that there is not one iota of filler under the doors. 100% metal, primer and paint. I still have to do the...

My BIL shovelhead, back in the day

It’s getting its fair share of range duty, piggly wiggly runs, gym time and general galavanting through the “Ville”. The 20 something ladies at the BP Station think it’s a really nice “Old Jeep”. So, it’s got that going for it too…🫤

“.just hitting it with detail spray as needed” That comment didn’t go unnoticed by the way… It is an FJ40 you know, it needs some dirt. If I’m being totally honest though I can’t say I blame you, 2.0 is the shiniest 40 I’ve ever seen. I am not...

Solid work on the switches and harness. Thanks for the tutorial, I thought I had every crimper Klein made, now I have to have that one!

It's nice to have a label maker that I can print perma sleeve heat shrink labels with.

Ok after very mixed opinions and rather polarizing talk about the EJ40, Let's get back to talking about internal combustion engines. On this week's episode I talk to @davegonz about his purpose built 70 series troopy bike hauler. You'll have to...

More….

Up to Argentine pass in CO. Highest the cruiser has been under my ownership (13,200'), handled it well! At the top took a short hike up to the top of the ridge with my son, he had a blast!

We rolled into Pinedale around 3 PM that afternoon and were stopped in our tracks to our road to Green River Lakes. I had found a ridge top camp site on Google Earth with a two-track road going all the way to the top. We found out pretty fast...

No more rattling!

4Plus tire carrier is probably the upgrade that has made the most difference in my 40. Incredible build quality and easy install.

A picture of an FJ40 next to an Uber Eats robot reminds me how far apart those two worlds are. I understand how my grandparents must have felt going from horse drawn wagons to cell phones. I think about having fewer years ahead than I do behind...

I have a friend that adds part of a can of Seafoam to the oil in his F150 every other oil change……..I’ve never tried it in oil but I use it in my gas periodically.

I love what you guys have come up with so far. It seems to me like you are trying to keep the appreciation for what these vehicles have always been while building an ultra modern drivetrain. Which seems like it would be an impossible task. The...

I offer a more compact, all steel version of the master cylinder adapter that actually fits inside the firewall rib. No logos to grind off either.😛 I just don’t seem to be doing a good job of marketing myself.

I think he’s looking for the kind that extend up to the threshold, the rolled over top lip.

I lost a couple doing that until I made a habit of putting the cap in the cradle for the filler nozzle. Even if I forget, it’s in the way of putting the nozzle back. Been working for last couple years.
