I am a big fan of John Deere Blitz black. comes out satin black looking, but puts up with a lot of abuse... and cheap. https://www.greenpartstore.com/john-deere-blitz-black-paint-ty25631.html...

Laid down some vinyl flooring and velcro'd multiple areas to keep it from moving. Cut a bit too much around the center console, but it's good enough for government. Time to start moving on to the body.

What is the height dimension of the winch mounting area? I don’t think that bumper will work with my older Warn that has an integrated solenoid pack.

Good work. Looks like a fun project.

Leaving this here... I also got a speski barrier from @bonestock that I'm going to get cerakoted the same color as the turbo. @matzell we were fortunate enough to have @kelly saad drive up to paint the engine compartment when it was out. We...

Damn it I wanted a juicy ending and all I got was Fin. lol. Glad you got it fixed.

Thanks so much for the help everybody, quick update! Sorry for the hard to tell pictures, I did use front seals so that wasn't the issue. Took the hub on and off another handful of times trying to nail down where it was binding up. To get a...

Can’t tell from the picture but have you maybe used a rear bearing seal by mistake. They have a lip on the seal that will bind when assembled on to he front.

After 40 years of wheeling, modifying, and repairing Land Cruisers, I’ve come to the realization it’s time to part ways with my ‘Cruiser addiction. Up for sale is a group of 4 things: a 1975 FJ40, a 1972 FJ55, a utility trailer built for...

Found an image that might help

I'm not sure where that hose goes but it isn't there. You are missing a hard line that bolts on the front of the head. A hose then connects the hard line to point near the thermostat and the other end has a hose that connects to the throttle body.

I could have built two one ton axles for what this Toyota one cost. But everyone said you can't run hard buggy stuff on Yota axles. Sadly the 9.5 diff wont fit into the frt of a 80 without some mods.. Ran this axle for 4 years and beat it like...

I person would just have to make sure the 32 spline shafts have enough clearance on the FJ80 spindles. Do the 100 series hubs have the same bolt pattern to the axle flange? or drive flange and custom shafts? I'm guessing someone already knows...

Made in Spain…. What tires are those? Pics of sidewall? We like tires!

The build slowed down again, spent to much time at work to finish some long time projects for different customers. But I acquired some tires, some wheels, painted things, fixed dozens of PO-hackjobs and ripped out all of this disgusting...

These are the guides that were originally issued with the 1993 and the 1994 80 series here in the good ole USA. $50 per set shipped in the 48 states

It's not a airplane 🤪 😂 If your having Issues It's not a bad idea :cool:

Bearing and spindle measurements should be taken with the spindle being measured at multiple locations.

New bearing vs old spindle…..

Following….. This will be a job i will have to do, probably this summer when its 120F degrees in my garage.

Is this happening on the passenger side only? What grease are you using? I ask because what’s called out is red and some of us use black grease on everything. The spindles can wear and cause problems as well and it’s not always glaringly...
