Wow you have to be kidding. Salt on dry roads? WTF?

I have heard several of the regulars mention frame rust. I would think it would be obvious to see frame rust? Is it not obvious? It would seem that if I live in the Western U.S. (Washington and Idaho) and have never seen frame rust... is it a salt issue or a East coast issue mainly? My...

To be totally honest, I was running out of time and I knew I was making a mistake somewhere with both carbs. I brought both to a local carb guy and said get one of these working like new. The only thing I asked for was 1) fix the carb that will be the most reliable for me as a daily driver...

Sorry the harness was a hack job. PO was building a rust free FJ55 and used the pieces he needed from the harness for his. There was very little left. If you want a 55 harness try Brian Hottel in Pocatello, ID (this is eastern Idaho, north of SLC, UT) here is his e-mail, hottel@dcdi.net...

I finally have an easy question. I added the mini truck PS and absolutely love it. After about 100 posts on carb issues, I finally got the rochester running well again while I save $$ for a SOR non smog Aisin. It turns out the rochester had a clogged jet and the Aisin I was trying also was...

I agree with Steve. This is a good deal. I found a 1978 FJ55 front axle to bolt onto a 1974 landcruiser FJ40 front axle. I got the whole truck minus transfer case for $900 but I had to get rid of tons of parts. It sat in my garage for a month. Now that I think about it I would have...

Thanks guys. My mistake on the "newbie" duplicate listing. Note to self never take the Ambien too early.

I have heard a few 80 owners say they will run the birf until it blows, never changing seals or inner oil seals etc. How expensive can this be worst case? What is the deal with maintaining the rear axles on a 80? I have done two birf's on a 40 series but never knew to mess with the back axle...

In the local cruiser club there are two groups of 80 series owners. Those who do the birf's every 75k-100 religiously and those who drive and drive with with no worries until they implode or whatever a birf would do when it goes. Two questions: what is this costs for replacement if scenario 2...

There is a local cruiser guy in Boise that has a 292 and a 4 speed truck tranny he has run for a long while. I believe he is only swapping it out due to him getting a deal on a 4.3. I would keep the 250 six until she blows up.

How much $$$ please?

Need 2F OEM Aisin carb rebuilt and all brackets to the pedal please I am looking at buying a completely rebuilt OEM Aisin carb for a 2F engine. I also want to get all of the original bracketry to the gas pedal. I am tired of messing with homeade setups that don't work right. Also I would...

I used a vacuum gage and checked for vacuum. No vacuum exists anywhere except the booster line. The fuel to air mixture does not work. This all tells me that this carb is shot. I plan on replacing this carb and using this for a core. I plan on buying a completely rebuilt OEM Aisin carb for...

When I bring the choke out and then back in there is no change in idle. Still revs like a raped ape. Thanks

Carb decision - Aisin carb- over revs on startup Update- I fixed the brake booster line this A.M. I also added the T to correct the vacuum line to the distributor. Now both lines on the carb T to a single line to the distributor. It still revs up like crazy immediately on start up. It...
