I thought "FD" stood for front drive???

I'm not sure if I am working yet, it is weather dependent

Sounds like you should volunteer for leadership and have some more control over the schedule :bounce:

Our memorial weekend gathering was interesting, to say the least. It marked the first time that the core of the tribe had gathered without restrictions since 2020. As I predicted to my friend Wayne in April of 2020, the pandemic was the...

Another month. Our anniversary party was a huge success. Several of our friends commented that it was magical. Couldn’t ask for more than that. Three days of music and laughter, capped in part by two people who met again for the first time in 25...

if you take the extension off the diff, it will fit in a small plastic tote. add some styrofoam for padding and ziptie the lid shut

really depends on what look you are after. a piece of scrap channel iron would be $50

1970 is a transition year on brakes what month was it made ? or does it have a dual brake system with booster? older single circuit brakes takes more doing to do disc conversion

Its been desmogged, will never pass here in california “legally”.

looking under the hood I'm wondering how it passed smog

Hello all I’m a previously active member of the SC upstate cruisers group that is moving west for a bit of an adventure while my kids are still young and can enjoy it. I don’t currently own a cruiser but am a long time toyota enthusiast and will...

yep that piece bolts to the frame under or near the riveted frame mount for the engine that bearing is the same one that mounts under the rad on 40 series

Don't pull $ from you IRA. You'll eventually need that. You don't need this headache 62

if it is hanging up at all, change it out, it has been a few years but there were reports in the tech section about the doors being broken from limitors being stiff.

no bumper spacers on a 55 winch head the bearing is the same on the driveshaft but as stated by John above the driveshafts are different between the 55 and 40 IIRCC the frame mount on the 55 attached below or very close to the riveted frame motor...

did you happen to try the pilot bearing on the shaft before installing in the flywheel? DO NOT use the mounting bolts to pull into place are you using a lifting device? trans may need to angle up, down or sideways slightly to align

I've got this one, not sure what year it came from other than it is not from a 79

I checked earlier today and it didnt seem too full. Looked to be right on the money actually. Oddly enough, I dont see any leaks so I will keep an eye on it for sure

is the transmision overfull? when the seal fails between the transfer and transmission, the transfer case can lose it's oil into the transmission

1 quarter down.

Turned out that everything was totally aligned. According to ARB instructions “use a light tap to insert the axles”, we did persuade the axles with some soft hammer taps and they seated fully. Thanks guys.

that bearing has 6-8 balls in it? you found 2, chances are there are a few more in the bell housing maybe leave the access cover off and see if they come out on their own?? start and stop a few times and see if any more material settles to the...

how are the oil levels in the trans and transfer?

trying to remember are those holes open or closed? did you stick a small screwdriver in it to check? what sloppiness are you talking about? it is very vague the 3 speed trans combo can be done easily in a driveway, it isn't large or excessivly...
