It sounds like a transfer case issue. Assuming no one has done a part time conversion, there is a viscous coupling in the case that allows slip between the front and rear while cornering as your inside wheels travel at different speeds than the...

Rocks in the SW have nearly perfect traction and then you get those undercut ledges and rock walls. If I included the birfields that we broke in the old ARCA Rock Crawl competitions, that number would triple. I remember an event at the hammers...

The 60 series birfs I've broken as many times as 40. Even the chromoly versions. The 80 birfs are much larger and harder to break but I've snapped the front axle shafts which are the same on 40, 60 and 80 unless you go to the aftermarket. The...

I great off road vehicle is built not bought. The stock 40 is limited by it's suspension, gearing and manual steering. The gearing is better in the non USA models but I still prefer lower. If you do a good job on those three, the 40 wins. I've...

no one makes the simple industrial welders anymore. They've all gone to invertors with a lot of Chinese components. Anything industrial is 5000.00 and over. The last Migmaster I bought was in '08. It was 1700.00 delivered new. Welder...

migmaster 250. Best welder in it's class ever. I have 4. the oldest is still running from 1991. 1000s of lbs of wire since. They were green back then and called L-TEC.

I'm the dissenter. There's nothing more fun than a topless 40 on a nice day with a nice running V-8, power steering and a well tuned suspension. It's the quintessential sports car. However , if you do it yourself, it's a younger man's sport. I'm...

Pretty sure Toyota never really expected the 40 to do much more than 55 on a regular basis. It was a back-country vehicle. If you put most of your miles off road, your truck will last longer going slow. I bought an FJ40, brand new , in 1978. It...

The oiler is brass. I've seen them wear at the shoulder to the point that when tightened they go past the point where the oil jet hole aims away from the gears. The oiler threads into a flat backing plate for the timing cover. I had one customer...

if it was recently rebuilt by someone other than an experienced F/2F builder, you might be getting a timing gear whine if the builder did not line up the oil squirter to where the gears mesh. I've seen it twice in 25 years. I couldn't hear in...

It's a good learning experience to rebuild a transfer case. It's easier to imagine what can go wrong when something does. It's a pretty simple design. Usually if a transmission or this type transfer case seems intermittent, it would be a severely...

Couldn't see the left front. I suspect the left front was spinning along with the right rear. If 4WD is engaged. no wheels will spin free until one front and one rear breaks traction. In 4WD the front drive shaft and rear driveshaft are locked...

Onur, You've got everything you need there at the shop. The 4 speed makes a good two arm curling weight to start. Add the t-case as your limit increases. An empty rear axle housing for the bench press. Just add the brakes then third member as...

They were meant to be great and reliable on dirt roads. No caster means easy steering with manual steering on irregular surfaces but also squirrelly on pavement at higher speeds over anything but smooth pavement. Crowns on the road and grooves...

I don't know which year 40 you're searching for but... https://www.toyotapartsdeal.com/oem/toyota~antenna~assy~w~holder~86300-60010.html...

perhaps but they give you the same discounts as i get from our dealer that works with the Toyota clubs. Camelback Toyota in Phx will fill the orders for old 40 parts. Toyota parts deal is just a little more convenient since I can place orders at...

Generally, you would change the pinion and the ring gear. They wear in as a set. I'll be surprised if they don't run noisy. Locking hubs would solve the noise issue. Fine spline pinion flanges are available new. I would think the axle shaft...

true, I ignore a lot of safety warnings. I'm 64 and it took 20 years after seat belts were mandated before I wore one other than off roading. I'm still a part time wearer. I grew up going on 2500 mile road trips to grandma's hanging out in the...

I don't blame people for trying to b careful, I just laugh at the media that does ridiculous reports that make no sense. They picked an incident to push a narrative that filling 1 lb cans was dangerous then literally said the reason for the...

Remember the Blitz cans Then again, I'm the guy that never wore a mask, got a vaccine, shut down my business, stopped travelling to go camping, avoided contact with others , masked or not and went to stay with my 89 y/o mother to keep an eye on...

sounds like the explosion was cause by " propane leaking from a 20lb cylinder which ignited from a pilot flame burning in a space heater" nothing really to do with the 1 lb cans themselves other than she used the leaky 20 lber to fill small...
