This needs to be posted in the Classifieds section, not here in the tech section.

The swing arms just slide down on the spindles. Remove the tire, hi-lift jack, and fuel cans from the swing arms then take the hi-lift and use it to jack up the arms as near the spindle as you can get. A cross-member has to to be removed to mount the 4+ bumper, so if you remove the 4+ you'll...

When you see a deer on the road ahead of you, and once it's crossed, ignore that deer but look in the direction from which it came because they often travel in groups and it's the ones about to cross the road that you need to worry about. I've run over, not hit, one deer in my FJ40. I was...

Check for the CEL. No CEL indicates the EFI relay, or related wiring, is bad and that will keep the engine from running..

It's what I had and it fits.

Winch cable refresh. This 8274 was rebuilt with an increased HP motor and Albright contactor but the cable was old, perhaps original to the winch. Maybe still ok use, maybe not. I did not want to have that uncertainty when using the winch, plus my cable end crimping was questionable. I...
