After my rear OMEs were delivered, I quickly made a for sale ad here on mud and ordered a set of the TT parabolics. They were just way too stout. Same situation with a soft top 43.

After 2 months of the kit sitting in my garage, waiting on some other parts to arrive, I will be installing this next week. I will post some in depth photos, measurements, etc.

I took the transmission down. I forgot/didn’t understood change the input axle seal when everything was open. 🤦🏻‍♂️ That chinese cheap motocross bike lift was a big help. So tight to get off, maybe easier with the bellhousing? 3B and H41 here.

I don’t know about this: Toyota LandCruiser 80 Series TorqueWorm Helical Gear Limited Slip Differential - https://www.speedmaster79.com/TOYOTA-LandCruiser-80-Series-TorqueWorm-Helical-Gear-Limited-Slip-Differential Description says: But could...

After two years almost complete.

Not available any more? 🤔

Did you move the diff fill plug up when you pointed the pinion up towards the transfer case? Because if you didn't, the pinion bearing won't get much if any gear lube, and it needs to run in gear lube.

Wesley contacted me a few months back to set up some spa time for his 40 here at the shop. We've conversed for years on Mud so I knew he's been into 40s for a long time. We came up with a plan and he dropped it off yeaterday. First things...

Yes, it’s identical either way.

1) Stop calling it an FJ! B) I think some people may think of owning a classic car as an investment but with these vehicles it's unlikely to be a profitable one in the sense of income. III) If you like the 40, want to keep it and understand you...

It’s rebuilt, different body. So it’s not deserved clean title anymore.

17/16=1,0625 so your speedo would show 6.25% more.

And you didn't bother to kick open your air conditioners??

Mods - This needs to be a sticky

Assembly and lubrication I applied grease to the shaft, the small cogs, the sides of the wheels, and a very light coating on the metal discs (just rubbed it with greasy fingers) Not sure about the wisdom of that - time will tell if I over did...

Not in the scope of this project. Purely mechanical.

It’s quite hard to get all alignmented, isn’t it?

Make life easy on yourself when trying to put this back together… Get two bolts identical to what is used to secure the transmission to the flywheel housing, cut the heads of the bolts off and thread them into the flywheel housing at...

Thanks, they are well made, genuine leather. 👌

I got my BJ42 ~”ready” (doors, sides and roof still to do). It took 7 years.

Complete was just for sell here in Finland for 300€.

Make sure you have a lot of positive caster. That backspace/width and weight of a 35” tire can be pretty reactive.

Too much, makes track width 4” wider than OEM. Sticks 2” out/each side.

Why you want mineral oil so badly? Just use synthetic, change the oil & filter couple times sooner than normal if you afraid it would clean engine too well.
