All, I‘m finishing up a brake job on my ‘76. I bought a master cylinder from cruiser corps but it’s leaking right out of the box. Pretty frustrated since this is the last thing I need to replace before getting it inspected and registered. I’d like to go down to the parts store and pick up...

Ditto. I have one that is a bit damaged....wondering what its good for. I can buy a used on for $90.

Hi Everyone, I've got a '76 I'm rebuilding and currently working on trading the cost of restoring the rear drum brakes. I noted that rock auto offers wheel cylinders at half the price of anyone else. (see attached picture) . Does anyone have any experience with the rockauto offered wheel...

Thanks for the report, @gsnyder !

Thanks @Beachcomber Bernie , I’m curious about the rear part of the harness. I’m missing wires to the side marker lights and rear license plate lights. But I’m in no rush. I’m currently working on @ power steering conversion.

Dang that was fast! @Nathos What are you planning on using in its place? I have a 76 and would have snatched this up just to know what my harness is missing. Oh well, Beachcomer was too fast!

“You’ll go pick it up for the rig....appreciate the lead.” Ha-what?

I’ve got a 1976 FJ40 with a rusted out back half. However, I’ve got a line on a 1978 tub in good condition that will cost less to buy than the materials to fix the my ‘76 tub. Does anyone know if there will be any problems retro fitting a 1978 tub onto a 1976 vehicle?

Hazah! Thank you!

I’m doing the fj60 power steering conversion and looking for trusted sources for the Saginaw pump and bracket. So far I’ve seen Georg @orangefj45 at valley hybrids, jet outfitters, and btb products. Anyone else? Is one bracket design better than another?What’s the best way to get ahold of...

Beautiful workmanship!

I have a FJ76. I'm planning to replace the Quarter panels, rear sill and rockers with aftermarket steel replacement patch panels. In my research I notice Cool Cruisers of Texas and Real Steel appear to offer comparable prices, Cruiser Corps is 2x that of the first two, and Spector is 3x the...

Thanks @Coolerman , I will be rereading your instructions several times to get it but I think I can get a little forward movement. And I'll be ordering those parts from you!

o_OAfter reading through the posts with @FJ40Jim and @Coolerman discussing alternator upgrades, Im working on upgrading my non functional ‘76 externally regulated 40A alternator and voltage regulator with the FJ62 80 IR alternator. I came across a guy on Craigslist that said had a used one for...

@Sheck44 , I'm planning on , essentially doing the same type of build you have done and, as I've been following along, was wondering about your power steering conversion. Would you mind expanding on what you did? 1. Did you use a an FJ80 power steering box? If so, why and was there any issues...
