This is what your trying to separate:

Sorry no pics, but the fittings are three pieces and work like a hydraulic hose end. It s a compression fitting of sorts. The piece with the threaded end has nothing but a hose barb on the other end. The other nut is not threaded, it is a staking nut with a tapered collet inside. You can take...

1996 FZJ 75, Gulf States Spec (1FZ-F, five speed, A/C, heat, power windows and chrome!), registered and insured in CT, 238,000 KM, the only rust on the truck are bubbles on the windshield frame. Everything works except the auxiliary tank switching. I've sorted out the myriad issues, removed...

You've got the pinnacle of filtering tech right there! As oil builds up on the exterior of the valve cover it creates a natural sand filter on approach to the vent slits! Clean that grit off, and that F will die in a week. ;) No, there is no filtration and no protection against water entry. If...

Joe, I'm in when you find out. Think I did a piece of this trying to get lost one day.

If the bolt and helicoil doesn't work out for you I've got a knuckle housing with the bolts. And if the jankiness has spread that far, an arm too.

And some people wonder why I don't bother to actively sell parts anymore. The time for that to happen has indeed passed me by. I am personally over invested in every piece of crap in my hoard and only care that someone will put it to good use in exchange for me holding on to it for a brief...

FYI thats not the PTO cover, its the access plate to the transfer case internals.

I have two very well used complete sets of FJ25 rods from steering knuckle to box without the bell crank. These were off 50 year old trucks when they were parted out, so real rough. The main difference between the 40 and 25 rods are the thread and rod diameter and the length of the length of...

If you are dead set on doing the drag link as FJ25 correct I have a brand new drag link (only) that I will never use, you will have to get the FJ25 ends. I would highly recommend doing this in early FJ40 parts instead though, the only difference that I'm aware of is the diameter of the rods and...

Man, I always wanted a closed cab and chassis to restomod for a utility body/tow rig. Sad to see this one in this shape Steve, hopefully it will find a good home now.

Just a warning if you haven't dropped this in for a test fit. Even though the crossmember looks like it won't be in the way, when you drop it in that parking brake drum will be smack up against it. So count on changing the crossmember. Not a problem for you, just found it funny as that was...

PM me we can talk about it. Not sure if shipping the rod alone is worth it to you, I can do a pattern for you and you should be able to make one pretty easily. This one has been brazed together at some point so its not adjustable.

Sorry all the original 40 wheels I have are riveted.

Cleaning the shed of cruiser stuff that won't ever get used - must pick up in the middle of CT. Swampers, old but not rotted: 4- 33x105 radials on wagon wheels, mostly bald, 2 - 33x9.5 mostly good, one on a wheel. All six $100 (or whatever). Sold to someone who likes the mud. :wrench: Old F six...
