If anyone is interested, Patrick’s Work has these 12 or 16 foot long storage containers with rollup doors for sale. If interested, reach out to @1994pd . Basically 8 foot wide 8 foot tall.. mostly fiberglass wood floor with steel supports...

‘Twas time to look at that rear brake and see what was happening. I expected broken springs or something out of wack. I found some leakage. Looks like it’s time to rebuild that rear axle. I think that explains the sticking. Cleaned...

Finally got a correct replacement drive shaft end yoke thing. So took the drive shaft to a shop and got the yoke end replaced with a new joint.

Basically what I did was put some screws towards the front of the windshield frame ( I know…I have a fiberglass windshield frame) This keeps the front down and pressure on the front folded lip. This was a test and it works great now. The...

@FJBen you said.... The parts on mine needed to be modified and reworked. The above the windshield frame is too flimsy and will allow the front to come out unless you make it stronger or put some more screws/bolts on it. I don't recall...

If you hear it click then I would first check the main power line going to the relay. Typically there is a fuse near the battery source before the relay on this line. Recall that your switch is sending a lower amp 12V power to the relay switch...

Working on this. Cheers

Got the steering box back and today in between rain showers got it all back in and drove it around the block! It embarrasses me to say it’s pretty much been a year since this thing ran! But everything checked out well so far. Need to get the...

Works kind of gone crazy (as usual) so not much time…. Found a few hours this weekend. I removed a trailer hitch from an 80 Series, chopped it up and rotated it to provide the structure for the hitch. perfect size and drop for the project. It...

My daughter had that happen once, and she had hit one of the dash buttons accidentally. I would cycle all the dash buttons that effect the tranny/transfer/vsc/etc.

good point... do you have a date in mind?

I wanted to share a set of "enhanced" repair manuals I've been compiling. If you're Type-A like me, these will hopefully help make your life easier by better organizing everything so you spend less time searching for the info you need. These are...

more Part 4 We also have a right-hand rear door but the part of the seal near the latch is completely missing so I don't know if that was also trimmed. The image below is a picture I found online, showing an old original seal damaged...

more info... This was about a customer called Adam who had told us there was an issue with the on-door seals catching on his latches. I took a look at the doors we have and then noticed that the front door we have has a cut-out near the...

how very cool...

Hello fellow KC-ish mudders! I just wrapped up producing an 11-part series of our experience shipping our 4Runner to Iceland to live out of in the summer of 2021. As you can tell... I've put a tremendous amount of work and passion into creating...

At last I found 24 volt instrument cluster with tachometer and differential lock indicator. The shell had a few damages, broken fasteners etc. so it needed some fixing. The original has too few gauges.. So I disassembled a broken LJ70...

Almost time to put tires to asphalt. Driveshafts installed, put on jack stands and tested going through the gears. Initial start up the steering wheel was going haywire and fuild went everywhere. I had the power steering lines crossed 🤦🏾‍♂️...

You should know that people from Kansas can't drive on hills!

My father, @KSDaddio, made a trek to the Saddle Mountain area with a couple folks from his community 4WD club (retired guys). His FJ55, Wilbur, was waiting on parts for a valve spring issue so he borrowed my Troopy... But he didn't make it...

Made some progress…

Just living.

I am even later to the party... on my VZ pile of bolts, I had to just pull down as hard as possible to pop it in low. Pushed out easy... I was told to not be shy!
