  1. 96 Bronco

    For Sale Louisville, ky

    Sorry - missing price. I’m open to fair offers. Looks like most ask $800. Mine had the 3 spd transfer case and adapter so maybe a little more? Just send offers. I want to help folks out on here as I was, but I certainly have had to pay for the parts i’ve gotten.

    For Sale Louisville, ky

    4 spd transmission and 3 spd transfer case in Louisville, ky I got this unit from another mud member attached to a running 2f and I transplanted both into my fj40 and ran it for over a year. It did not have a transfer case attached at the time of purchasing, so I swapped on my existing 3 spd...

    Brake help needed

    Well I've been driving the FJ pretty much daily since February and all is ok- acceptable. Brake pedal still engages at mid stroke but stopped fine. In the course of diagnosing some transmission issues i had the vehicle on jack stands with it running and running it through the gears. When I...

    2F into a 72 FJ40 need transmission advice

    Looks like he can afford a lot more parts than I can! That was a good read. I am really interested in the Holley sniper system... Thanks for pointing out the city racer site, I did not realize they were a mud vendor

    2F into a 72 FJ40 need transmission advice

    Anyone have some real world numbers on the milling of the head a bit to raise compression? Figured I should consider it since I'm already going to take my manifolds off to install a Remflex gasket. How much of an increase in power can I expect - can I actually feel it? also the head gasket...

    2F into a 72 FJ40 need transmission advice

    thanks for the suggestion to try a test drive with the drive flanges removed - definitely helped on noise and power. I was able to briefly maintain 65 mph up a slight hill on the interstate then jumped off. I'm accepting the fact that I'm playing a game of inches here - every improvement...

    2F into a 72 FJ40 need transmission advice

    I thought maybe it wasn’t that big a deal since I read so many threads where folks pulled the 1 head bolt to drill and tap that pesky oil galley leak back by the #5 plug

    2F into a 72 FJ40 need transmission advice

    That was my fault. I wanted to put my old f air cleaner on the new 2f since I was reusing my manifold and carb. I torqued it back to spec in 2 increments. It’s been so long since I put a head on I forgot about the torque sequence. Sooooooo, maybe I need a new head gasket and retorque...

    2F into a 72 FJ40 need transmission advice

    Another nagging issue, I have a small coolant leak that keeps surfacing on and around the first head bolt and this recessed Allen head plug adjacent to it. Any clue? I don’t think it’s coming from the upper radiator hose or the bypass hose. I’m worried it’s creeping through the head bolt - but...

    2F into a 72 FJ40 need transmission advice

    http://www.coolcruisers.com/hublocwar.html reasonably priced ($200) 6 spline hubs on CCOT site. never heard of this brand. I'll try to drive with the drive flanges off first and see if it makes a difference

    2F into a 72 FJ40 need transmission advice

    thanks for all the responses. FOMOCO - I've read that thread you suggested and yes - he had more and different length spaces than i did. I've also read numerous threads were people repeatedly say all you need is the input gear and PTO gear or PTO gear spacer. I don't know! its very...
