Hello friends. Went to put my doors together this weekend and realized the my passenger wing window (1974) has been replaced at some point with plexiglass. I’d like the original glass if someone’s got one kicking around. Thank you!

This box may need to be rebuilt. Let me know if I’m crazy on price. Just trying to be fair. $250 obo + shipping

These are brand new and didn’t work for my setup (aluminum tub). $80 + shipping

Update***** they did respond by email saying they hadn’t shipped the covers due to not having hardware in stock. They shipped the order the next day (showing up complete) and I got the seat covers installed today.

What is going on with Cruiser Corps? I’m constantly fed advertisements, the website looks great, but they’re terrible at actually getting orders out. I ordered new seat covers, foam, and other parts two weeks ago and it still hasn’t even shipped. Maybe focus less on marketing and collecting...

Rusted into nothing

Well, let me rephrase. They worked out for a few weeks. Must have been rubbing ever so slightly on the inside of the housing until it finally broke.

No vendor, just found some at a hardware store. Obviously didn’t work out lol.

Well… I lifted the rear axle off the ground on jacks and put it in gear so the wheels were turning. The sound seemed to be coming from the parking brake housing. Took off the driveline, hand spun the rear axle yoke (there’s some slop back and forth there) but spun the wheels without any odd...

Hah! No lunch box locker… it’s not a welcoming pop. More of a concerning-binding pop. I’ll get it up on jack stands, disconnect the driveline, and see what happens. TBD

Hey all, recently I restored a non-running 1974 FJ40 back to its glory. I’ve been working out some bugs as it’s back out on the road and driving. I’ve come into a situation where the rear axle seems to be binding? I get a metallic noise and a slight pop. It doesn’t seem to be a problem as I’m...

Good to know. Thanks for the info. I’ll try running the dizzy without vacuum and see what it’s feeling like.

Looking for a decent condition cigarette plug. And also a pack of cigarettes (my brake master cylinder just starting leaking). Let me know what you’ve got. Thanks!

Nice, any way to do it with what I’ve got? Is that manifold vacuum that much different? I guess I could get a vacuum gauge and see. Just trying to make it easy.

Mmmm…. I don’t have that vacuum port.
