PA.. Sage Advice!! When I was about seventeen, my Dad grew tired of me always using his hand-tools, S-K Wayne sockets, etc. when I worked on my Harley, my POS Opal or my '51 Cadillac.. He bought, as a birthday present for me, a Snap-On 3/8 drive metric (9mm-19mm) socket set, written on the...

The steak looks GOOOOOD!! What's that green stuff cluttering-up the plate???

RE: Pawn Shops.. YUP!! I bought a damn good (barely used!!) Roll-Around box (MAC) from a pawn shop at a VERY affordable price!! Same with tools.. I'd been to several pawn shops before I found what I wanted/needed AND at affordable prices.. not cheap.. but affordable... Bottom line.. It...

What about a simple "T-L-C" (Tender Loving Care ;-} ) (oh, yeah. Copyright 2024 ;-} )

My '74 LC came stock from the factory (bought new , Dec '73) at dealership) with BOTH Jump Seats AND the Interior Roll Bar. Charles '74 LC.

HELL YES, You NEED these!!! They keep the LC's Rims from cutting the lug studs off!! Think of the song: You Took A Fine Time To Leave Me, Loose Wheel!! Charles '74 FJ4- (Bought new Dec. 1973)

Off Lake Worth Blvd, on Quebec St.. See ya'll then. Charles 1974 FJ40.

I'm in Burleson (next burg due south of "Cow Patty City" on I-35W).. My (bought new) '74 FJ40 sits dead in the driveway, BUT I am VERY INTERESTED in "Traveling North" to a get together of like-minded "Mud-For-Brains" folks.. When and Where?? Charles 1974 FJ40.

A few years ago, I contacted WARN to see about getting a "proper" rebuild kit for the hubs on my '74 FJ40.. I was sent a gasket and an o-ring for each side, nothing like the "7309" kit pictured above!! (seems I paid something like $25USD for my "kit"!).. I called WARN back and was THEN told...

I bought my '74 FJ40 in Dec '73.. I asked to buy the "Proper Factory Service Manuals" for the '74.. What I got were an "F Engine" and "Chassis and Body" booklets. Neither are "year specific" NOR are they what I would call "service manuals".. I can say, they are NOT for anything newer than...

If one wants the "yellow" finish, the Caswell product works great.. However, if one wants a "silver" (true zinc looking) finish, then one will have to locate the "Blue Chromate".. Last I checked (years ago), Caswell did NOT offer a true "blue" (silver) chromate.. I had to obtain it from a...

M3; I, also, have USAA.. have since they "opened-up" their service to "Dependents of Officers".. (back in the '70's) ALL of my vehicles were (are) "technically" either classic cars or pleasure vehicles. Plus, nothing is newer than (bought new) 1974 (the Landcruiser).. In '78, I...

Under the "Not Much Help" department.. A couple of years after I bought my '74 FJ40 new, I bought a pair of Sheepskin Seat Covers for the front seats.. These were quality made (in my opinion) in that the seat bottom, sides, seat back and sides were 100% Sheepskin.. ONLY the "back side" of...
