I have a 1973 fj40 and I am rebuilding the locking hubs on the front end. When I pulled them apart one hub had a pin to help align everything. Sorry for my lack of knowledge on this. The other locking hub didn’t have it. I have looked everywhere for this pins but I can’t find them. I don’t...
I want to put a 4” lift on for clearance and I like the taller look. But what I don’t want to happen is have it be too heavy and roll my 40. Does the 4” make it too heavy or is that not a concern?
So it all sounds like a lot of work. In your opinion if the 3 speed and the 4 speed have the same 1 to 1 then it may not be worth it. Would you say then that I should leave it alone or go with the H55f to really make a difference and get my money’s worth?
I have a 73 fj40 with the F motor and 3 speed transmission. I have been reading the other form about the 5 speed conversion and it looks like it can be difficult and costly. So I am thinking about getting an H42 transmission from an later fj40 and put it in mine. But I have a couple of...
