Having some difficulty putting new drive flange studs in one of my hubs and thought maybe I should chase the holes but have never used a tap before. Which tap size is the correct one, 8mm x 1.25?
Edit: used the 8mm x 1.25 die and it worked on a...
been working on these on and off for awhile.. 100% bolt-in, plug-in FJ62 fuel pump hanger. Even the wire and connector plug are genuine Sumitomo wire and Yazaki plug. This is the first functional prototype and is getting sent to NJ for a client's...
Well our SEMA Battle of the Builders journey is over. We gave it all we had. But big money builds and show trucks beat us out in the end. All I know is ours will be used and abused. That is what we built it for, like all of our builds over the...
We have made it to the TOP 40 at SEMA Battle of the Builders. So TOP 10 in the Offorad/4x4 class.
Tomorrow afternoon the OVERALL TOP 12 will be announced. Fingers crossed.

Slow going in the barn with little to zero activity. Fetcher did get recommissioned the other day. Bought this very nice 62 from a very good friends wife. This was originally slated for a LS conversion but they are going in a different...

Transmission cooler hardline that goes through radiator core support. I believe this was listed earlier and these have been discontinued for at least 5 years if not more.
Added again per @tromz
I have this setup on my 62 with 80 pitman arm. I recall the only trick with the 80 pitman arm was reaming, which you said you’ve done, and not being able to use the alignment marks on arm and shaft. I recall orienting the arm similarly to how the...
An update on the programmer. When we originally bought the EDGE CTS3 unit we were told that it would work with a standalone Cummins 24 valve system.
Fast forward close to 7 months, 100+ man hours, 3 EDGE screens (none would accept the VIN#, two...
Hey guys, hope you’re all doing great!
Last time I cracked into the 2H engine and got a not-so-lovely introduction to what was hiding inside. Turns out that was just the beginning. So here’s the next round of discoveries in this never-ending...
Changed the master cylinder with a rebuilt one from Autozone. pretty much same price as the kit costs from Toyota. Gonna hold off on the booster as the pedal is now sinking after startup.
For some reason one of the slave cylinders isn't...

This bad boy finally arrived!
Unfortunately it will be sitting for a few months while I finish up some other projects so can have space to use one of the deeper shop bays. I would like to, for once, actually take my time on one this and...
For the first time in my life I am ashamed to say that I bought lightbars before lockers. haha
I got the idea from this thread:

to add 6" Black Oak...
did you count the turns and install new ends to same amount of turns?
you can turn the tie rod and get both tires adjusted, aprox 1/8" toe in front to rear
if the steering wheel is off, adjust the relay rod to center the steering wheel
no need...
Moab bound. We'll be at the arena. I'm bad with names, but stop by and introduce yourself 😃
I would have rather it went in that enclosed trailer in the background, but dad's gonna stay out west for about 6 months and didn't want the hassle. 👍
“Good Enough”. Scratch and shoot was the plan. Had to hit it with a quart of color. Did not even take out the handful or more hail dents that USAA paid me for in 2016. Will let her cure for a month or so and wet sand the garbage out of the...
Not ideal, no.
Center the box, make sure pitman arm alignment match marks on box sector shaft match marks. Put weight on the Cruiser if there isn’t any, ie on the suspension. Install shaft after centering steering wheel. If off a little...
Woo hoo! Finally got the rear arms (with new hardware) installed. Resonator removed for extra room and to help access rusty areas (to spray Fluid Film).
The new floor jack is a joy to use. Impact gun for scale.
