Those are cool, no U-Bolt below the axle what so every in a S.O. application..

I’m intrigued, and like the battery mount (2nd time seeing one of those about there), and curious to see where you end up with auxiliary relay/fuse box as I will be doing the same thing “soon”. (Soon in Landcruiser project time means “hopefully...

Yes, classic bad water pump, worn bearing

I have/had one of these I picked up in the auto paint store years ago, they are great! Tablet of heavy treated paper, mix and apply from tablet then throw that sheet away! I need a replacement mine got wet at some point. Thanks for reminding me!

The “Search” function on Mud isn’t always a good freind. They keep secrets and give evasive answers sometimes! : ). Learn to use Google and the “site:” operator to direct your search to the mud website, it is much “friendlier”.

More likely flare in tube like oem; should tighten up, squish flare more and stop.

That’s a freakin cool story! What a great trip, and good photo skills!

Most economies are based on “market price” as opposed to “cost”. They charge what someone there thinks is the market price; Old Toyota parts prices are not very consistent but should not be expected to be fixed at cost. I am an appraiser...

In Colorado it is a state regulated agency.. purpose built facilities (only do state testing), 1 or 2 per county.

Those are old school, there is another brand I’ve seen. You have the right idea, rotate those arms 180 degrees. If they’re seized you should disassemble them (6 bolts) and clean em up. Then check and lube wheel bearings.

I’m pretty sure you can run the emblem on your FJ40.. if you wear a kilt.

Some aftermarket material. Only effect as a sound and temp treatment. Could /should (to some) be replaced by a headliner kit.

Depending on era of your aftermarket head unit; that looks like a sleeve behind the dash. If so, you pull the faceplate and push little “slim jim” tools down the sides (any thin sheet metal will do) and the head unit slips out. Then to remove the...

(I got several cheap or free cars over the years with a “bad clutch” that had hydraulic systems like our FJ40’s, did the above and were fine; I gave one of them back because it was family!)

Good advice. It is not unusual to have to adjust the clutch “throw” occasionally; and even more so after parts have been replaced. This is very common for this system.

Yea, invariably blowing into “buddy” cylinder; particularly if no water in oil…

Whats going on where it has been ground on?

Agreed.. 0, 0 adjacent very likely “just” head gasket! Good news! 😀

That turned out great! I’ve got several non-AC, non power window, trucks this would be sweet in (you can roll down passenger window when it’s hot and back up if it starts to rain).

Pumping always means air in system. Did you install disc brake calipers with bleeders up? If you accidently put calipers on opposite sides the bleeders will be down and you can never get all the air out (because it rises).

Check compression on #2, install new plug and wire and try again. I have seen plugs fail intermittently (usually a crack you didn't see).

After 40 years of doing clutch jobs without fail I bought a beater GMC 3500 w/ dump bed for hauling locally on my own projects. Had a rod knock so put in used engine. Harder to stab tranny than usual but why stop to think! (even when you know...

I adapted an air fitting to my compression tester hose; works great. Ive seen some compression testers come with that now.
