    Builds The Architect's '77 FJ40

    Alright....I've put a few hundred miles on the Bilstein shocks now and let the 'confirmation bias' wear off. I can't really find the right words to describe the difference. The best I can come up with, they are much more of a supple ride than the OME shocks were. This was noticeable from the...

    Slight vibration after 2.5” lift

    It is a 2.5" lift. I was just in my shop looking to see if I was running caster shims.....and I do not have any up front. I'm not 100% sure exactly what shims I'm running in the rear. Maybe they are 6 degrees to point my rear pinion at the rear drive plate, thus the DC driveshaft. ....Now...

    Cracked 2f Intake Manifold (17111-61010) with Headers - Can I just add a heat riser block-off plate on the bottom with a gasket?

    If it's a simple crack, want to try and braze the cracked aluminum? If you have a map gas torch (or other gas for that fact), get you some Hobart 770206 brazing rods. I was messing around with some Hobart rods and aluminum pieces not too long ago. I was surprised how simple the process was...

    Builds 76 Fj40 Face Lift

    Probably redundant....but if you don't have a set of these, well worth the money. These are the new version with 'jaws fit' technology. https://www.ebay.com/itm/394276887113?var=662790941086 ..

    FJ40 Mark/Downey Header

    @65swb45 brings up a good point, and reminded me of what modifications I had to do to a new exhaust that was installed when I initially purchased my 40. In the photo below, you can see how the mechanic had the exhaust run a little more than 45 degree out the right rear corner. However, with...

    Taking a non-itinerary drive & seek vacation with the wife last week up the eastern coast, our second day of driving/destination, we were out taking a random morning stroll.....and I come upon this! My wife was shocked that I knew, (well, MUD known more like it) the owner. Beautiful...
