This main thing you do to stop oil getting inside your brake drum is to eliminate unwanted play in your transfer output shaft because that play will cause ANY seal to leak (no matter whether it is new, old, single-lip, double-lip, or with or without speedi-sleeve). That sorted, you replace...

Well spotted. And that universal joint in the winch-drive is shot as well. (Can't ever get everything perfect from a previous-owner I guess.)

What happened here Andrey? Were you just testing the brakes or did something seriously go wrong? (It seems hard to believe that you intended to leave those nasty black tyre marks on your nice paved area. And without understanding your language, it appears to me that a swear word may have...

Everything looks so p-e-r-f-e-c-t!!!!! And sounds perfect too!!

September 1980

I find this particularly interesting Frank because I recall these things being positioned only on the REAR top corners of my door-openings on my BJ40 hardtop. However this image confirms that they should exist both front AND rear: And it appears we have 4 different parts: Right-hand side...

I don't know what year your HJ47 but this is for a 1983 supposedly: This may be useful too I imagine Cheers

This is from the 1983 wiring FSM and is supposed to cover HJ4# models if it's of any help: (Ooops. I've just swapped this image because I think the other one was for some other model than an HJ4series.)

Hi Danny, Hellgate and everyone.. We''ve just got back from a little steam excursion and I'm still running around chasing my tail trying to catch up on things... Oh.. And on this trip (the day before yesterday) I spotted the latest acquisition by the New Zealand Army - Flash eh? (Just to show...

I definitely prefer the look of mud-terrain tyres and never noticed any noise or handling deterioration when I swapped from BFG all-terrains to BFG mud-terrains (KM2). (But then I was running a B-series diesel which may explain why I didn't notice a noise difference. B-series engines are not at...

Hi Danny Thinking of you and Chester.... Time will heal the wounds...

Sorry for the late reply. I don't know where to get this locking mechanism. Even finding part numbers is hard for me now because I no longer have the Toyota database on my PC. Perhaps try someone who's wrecking a 40-series? :beer:

Yes. Thanks Rudi. I do recall discussing this with fjfjfj around the time he posted it

Those are your fusible links. They protect the wires in your harness. They do this because they are of smaller-gauge wire and will melt/blow (as that one has) before the thicker harness/loom wires will. Yes. They are easy to repair - Just use new spade terminals and run a new length of wire...

Did you check these fusible links? :beer:
