Wanted in the South Jersey/ Philly area:
1) 1 or 2 6-lug 15” wheels for spares. I have a pair of 33’s, just need a wheel or two to put them on.
2) 3.73 9.5” 3rd - fine spline, late -40 or -60. Again, as a spare, but probably will get refreshed with a Aussie or spartan later to replace the...
I’ll put this on the calendar. Maybe just me and my older daughter who’s 10, maybe wife and the younger one too who will be almost 7. Be good to get them out camping and on the trails.
Longer leafs make a huge difference both in ride and suspension travel/usable articulation. Longer is generally better, short springs go through more arc change for any amount of travel. I’m not going to describe it in super correct engineering terms, but longer will be less harsh, generally...
Dunes beige would be cool. I like the heritage blue that the FJC’s had in the later years. My junk is the earlier FJC blue but if I repaint it I’ll go with heritage.
I wanted to be able to move the empty flat deck trailer around with the FJ40, as our tow rig is the wife’s Expedition and if she’s running around with a bunch of kids I don’t always have access to it. I’ve had an old trailer hitch that I think originally came off a Chevy pickup, so on it went...

I am unfortunately not able to make it. Family stuff that I need to be part for the weekend. I emailed my formal cancellation to the outlook address in the Fall Crawl page, but posting here to help confirm and hopefully someone sees so my spot can go to someone else.
Email is...
Dug out the old full doors, hoping to keep the inside just a little warmer as it gets cooler. The fit is a little wonky with the top, but whatever. There’s still no heat, so that’s the next mission. Also, don’t look too close as the bottom of both doors are really rusted out. They don’t make...
Here’s what I did, I have a SM 465 4 speed trans, NP203 range box with a FJ60 split case using a custom adapter. I made my own linkage from flat stock and nylon bushings with stick shifters reworked to fit. I don’t love it, but it works and it’s well forward so no interference between the seats...
