Good luck with project spring… mine took 6 days but I don’t have the stamina to keep going full speed for 8 hours a day but, I got it done. I was also in no real rush…mentally yes, physically no. I did 1 corner at a time. Plan on cutting the...

Found an old pic of my 91 battery. Positive terminal is inboard.

...or a Zero (0) lift option! PS. Am I a purist?

Beautiful 40. May have missed it but what size tires? Debating these or new stock height springs for my build.

Love my 4x4 labs.

The positive battery post originally came with a red rubber protective cover to help prevent it from making contact with metal ie: in an accident or from tools laid across the top touching both posts. As already mentioned above the positive...

Are you running the correct battery? Group 27F is the correct style and has the positive on the back left side. If someone used a Group 27 it would be opposite and positive would be in the front left (I think the early FJ80's were this way).

I have the same axles/SOA but saginaw steering and went with 4x4labs, was about 4 years ago. Not sure if they have it online, call or email them.

I'll get in line for a set of links after OP. Regards, Eric

I like Kroil and time.

Hi Bear, Exactly! 😊 The price includes free shipping, which makes it even more convenient for the buyer. Considering the handle is ready to install and in great condition, this saves both time and effort compared to sourcing and restoring one...

That’s awesome, thank you!

It is very helpful when you are going uphill or just in some rocks and you stall the engine. Just put it low range and first gear and crank the starter without pressing on the clutch. The starter will turn the engine which will turn the wheels...

That is consistent with my theory that there was a wholesale change in 9/66, concurrent with the introduction of the dashpad and the two speed wiper motor. @rainingagain pics from six months earlier are consistent with @OGBeno point about how...

12/66 build date drivers seat bracket. Truck is long gone but I stripped it and don't recall ever seeing any of those offset numbered bolts before.

There is a pad from toyota that fits on the hard top rain gutter to provide some protection. 63119-90030... it is $5 https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/hood-bumper.1049832/

I've been procrastinating on this repair for a while now, partly because I hate doing things twice. When I bought this 40, it had a nasty tear in the right fender. I hammered it back into shape and then welded it up, but unfortunately I got a...

I finally had all seats ready to reinstall into the empty 40. I can't tell you how happy I am with the upgrade- not only the looks but they're so damn comfortable. It took me 3 years to get to it, wish I had done it sooner. I think it took me...

First PLA prototype printing as I type this! This one will be used to check dimensions, design, etc.

Hey all! So with the sudden discontinuation of the OEM 04152-60060 oil filter.... early 40series owners were left in a weird spot. Oil filters are a mission critical item and not having an easy option is unacceptable. Now I get that we were lucky...

I sell those parts. It’s kind of disappointing how readily I am looked to for tech, and how easily I am overlooked as a parts resource.☹️

Yes, and a get a plastic fan too. Cruiser outfitters would be able to hook you up with new stuff for sure.
