Put on a new slave and master and trying to adjust everything. Do you do it with the spring on? Where are you looking for that 4-5mm of release for end play? What i'm doing now is with the spring on it pulls the fork against the slave cylinder...

Maybe something for a suburban would fit. You'd have to check dimensions vs ones on amazon or something

Everything I've seen you can just dump out the old oil and add the new right through a port. Spinning the clutch to get it to pull in. Also some in the drier Then install everything and pull vacuum as normal.

3,000 miles of mostly highway? Nothing except gas money

Here's my 1975 on the day I got her. She used to belong to John Denver, but now she's all mine. I was not a big fan of yellow, but now I am 100% in love. As others have stated, it is just such an iconic looking vehicle.

need lots of pics

Simplest things are sometimes the most satisfying. New back hatch struts

wouldn't pay that but i'm cheap

Here's the go to guide https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/how-to-desmog-an-fj60.1207651/

I've had that happen a few times also but literally like shooting out while filling Replaced mine with a VC120 probably 5 years ago. Maybe just due again idk Now I just fill on the slowest pump setting

Nice can even get it delivered later today

Shhh. Don't tell the guys that sell the $200 kits. https://a.co/d/bDq8hf7 All you need is a M8 rivnut. It goes into an existing hole in the hood. Strut bottom goes into an existing hole in the fender. 1 banana job

Info on the hood strut kit? Mine desperately needs this

If you plan to keep it doesn't matter. If you're planning on selling it eventually it does. At that point i'd get a refund on it and get another one

Installed a terrain tamer 2 inch lift, fj40 steelies and caps, kenda klever 33s.

Had to see how the paint would clean up. Also a fresh pair of side markers the old one was non existent

I don’t have pictures of the rail adapters I made unfortunately. I’ve had a few folks ask. It’s just a piece of flat steel with two sets of holes drilled. One at the stock slider width and one at the Bestop seat mounting width. I also offset...

Any pics of how you adapted the Bestop seats? Did you use the stock seat brackets I saw you mentioned just some steel flat bar

Got the truck out and about with some fresh gas. Runs great. Speedo is 10mph slow. It scoots nicely. I'm taking it to the gym tomorrow to get some miles on it.

Cowl side. Hood side is for sideways and front/back adjustment

Thanks i'll try it once I can get it open all the way. You talking the hinge on the cowl side and not the hood side right

Hinges adjust. Loosen cowl hinge bolts, keep snug but enough to move with some push, adjust as needed, tighten. Be careful as you test you dont peel paint if adjustments are too much. A rubber mallet tap works well.
