If it's not grinding into reverse then I'd say you've got it adjusted well. I'd follow my thoughts on the oil and I'm fairly confident you'll have good results once it's broken in. Much of the viscosity has to do with the synchronisers: that's why newer AX15 gear boxes use ATF where older...

The only other thought I had (assuming the clutch and throwout are engaging all the way) was to be certain your pilot bearing isn't binding even slightly.

I've owned numerous H55s from the early 90s. I bought 2 brand new and one of those I put behind a Vortec 350. They are great, strong and mostly smooth (by truck standards) boxes. They are very comparable to the modern AX15 but far stronger. However, I would say NEVER put heavier gear oil than...

Still stuck in Florida. We go back to Australia each year, but I only go for a week or two. My wife and kids go for longer but I gotta work. I thought I'd be in Florida for maybe two years when we opened the base here and back out west..... but here we are 7 years later. Ciest la vie. How...

We did a lot of wheeling and camping back then. God I miss those times Mikey. Thanks for posting these.

I'm sorry I'm not near a 40 right now to give you the measurements but I'm sure someone on here will be able to. I just wanted to chime in and say the Cruiser Gods will bless you for fixing this abominable sin that Colombians do to their 40 series when adding 70 series lights.

I heard someone here @Mike Shull was looking for me.....?

I don't recall you using your mirrors much anyway Mike. Didn't I take that picture....?

Great to see all the progress Mike! Hard to believe it's the same rig we all wheeled together in the 90s..... Thanks for the link, I'll keep an eye on the progress.

It came with another LX which was a bit beat up and missing parts. I actually sold it to a guy in America, shipped it over and he restored it beautifully..... but without the winch bag. It's yours, I'm very happy it'll be in Lexie. I'll send it up when my replacement part comes next week...

$60 for the winch bag. SOLD $50 for the LX door handle cover. $75 for the front FJ40 turn signals. Any interest?

G'day guys. I just found something interesting in my search for more parts. It is an original, vinyl Toyota electric winch controller bag. This holds the controller for a Warn 8274 that was re badged as a Toyota winch. It has two inside pockets: one to hold the cable curled up and one for the...

Fair enough. I've owned a couple. They are not worth the trouble frankly. I love the plain Jane bare metal.

Just heading to FedEx to send a bunch of stuff If you want that latch cover I can send it right now, you'll have it by Friday. Let me know asap. Cheers, Josh

They do with some finessing. I put a factory roll bar in my LX keeping the panels.
