I was reading this but when I clicked on the vendor websites that were mentioned the only parts that I was finding were the seal and bearing kits but I only looked surface deep, I'll contact a few and confirm that input/output shafts are still available.

I sent you a message. I'm interested. Can you send more info?

It's pretty unbearable. It's slowly gotten worse but I'm afraid to drive it over 40 mph. Sounds like it's going to grenade if I keep pushing it.

I need help/advice with my many questions about my FJ40 transmission. I have a 1974 FJ40 4-speed transmission roars (sounds/feels like bearings are gone, comes and goes at speeds over 40 mph) and I had a local transmission guy confirm it needed a rebuild. He said parts were discontinued and he...

I finally got the lift complete and new tires installed. Went with 33x12.50R15 BFG MT and so far so good. I'm happy with the appearance and the stance and so far no rubbing. A little bit of driveline vibration so I'll be looking at that next. I assume it's a big reason not to go over 4" lift so...

I was really wanting to go with 35's but from everything I've read indicates that I will have to chop my new rear fenders... If I had realized this before I painted them then I would have resized the openings. I thought about it over the last few months and finally decided it wasn't worth the...

Installing a 4" Skyjacker Lift with new 2" lift shackles, greasable pins, . The front is mostly complete. Starting on the rear suspension. I'm thinking 33"x12.50 BFG M/T will be the tire to go with unless someone can recommend a more suitable size or tire. update6 by DOUGNSTEIN posted Oct 24...

This stage of the project is almost complete. It made a successful appearance at the 2017 Carolina Relic Run in Uwharrie last month thanks to David1947 and did fairly well. Possibly better than expected but still has some work to be done. I still have some issues to work out mostly with carb...

Need updates! You got me hooked with your dark gray metallic paint color and left me hanging without pictures! Looking good.

Drew, thanks for the encouragement! Between some of the earlier painted pics and the later pics i did a little sanding of the trouble areas before putting down a final coat. It definitely takes a practice run to see how it shows flaws and it's also drastically different depending on how light...

I had to google what that was.. Sounds great. I'll try to make the final push to have it ready by then... or at least good enough to have some fun with!

Tailgate complete-ish: I used a 520 motorcycle chain cut to length for the tailgate supports. I will need to add some adhesive backed rubber pads between the chain and the tailgate on the inside to keep down the noise when it's closed. The jeep wrangler hood latches seem to provide enough...

Front Update: Got the headlights, winch, bumper, etc installed. I decided I didn't want to use the expanded wire mesh for the radiator screen so I've ordered something a little different for that. Stay tuned... Front 3 by DOUGNSTEIN posted Apr 26, 2017 at 11:43 AM Front 5 by DOUGNSTEIN posted...
