+1 for tiny tach...install was so easy, too.

78 40 So all of a sudden my blinkers start acting crazy... One day, the left blinker would stay on when activated, but not blinking, just ON. A few days later, both sides are doing this. So, I've been checking bulbs and fuses so far and have found the following... lo/hi beams work fine...

Thanks Gumby I might have found it near the fuse block and emission box...

Bump for same question here!

Caddisfly, Yeah, I am that guy. I wondered if I'd ever get to see your cruiser! Hopefully this spring we can get into some mud!

Only wish I could help out as much as others have helped me here! For booster, I got mine from James at cruiserparts dot net. It was around 100-150 and used. Not the best, but in my region, the only other options were big bucks! The one he sent was fine, although it was from a 60 so I had to...

Any FJ cruiser owners mind posting the paint code for voodoo blue? I'm going to be using it on a '69 40. Thanks

@DblTap, A lot went on since this original post, but in the end, the only problem I really had, was a bad booster! Strange this is that it passed all the "tests" so I never tried to replace it until I basically had tried EVERYTHING (new master, second new master, new calipers, adjusted rear...

I have a few progress pics, but don't want to hijack. I only put this one up as a visual aid. Fixing it was sandblasting, cutting, welding, grinding, measuring, cutting, grinding, welding, etc...sort of a long process.

this is on a '69 fj40 we're repairing

I just went through the opposite, sort of. My front brakes would lock up after using them 3-5 times and then I'd have to crack the line at the MC to release the pistons! After replacing too many parts, it finally eneded up being a faulty Booster. After the old booster came out, it felt like a...

Oh yeah, if you replace the frame-spring pins, too, I would order new ones and take the grinder to the old ones. It's usually MUCH faster that way.

Not sure if this helps, but I've done several shackle replacements and never spent more than 60-90 minutes doing all 4. But, they were not totally rusted and siezed, either. I found using a bottle jack between spring pack and underside of frame helped when removing the shackle bolts. I never...

Hey thanks for all the replies. It looks like now, I'll plan on using the 22R and it's clutch in the '91. The only problem with the '85 is the rotten rear of the frame! Engine has had the front and rear seals replaced, a few months on the new clutch, and recently rebuilt transmission. The...

Hello, I have a 91 pickup, totally stock 22RE, no sure which transmission. The clutch really slips badly. My friend and I just picked up an '85 parts truck that has a nice purring 22R and new clutch, front and rear main seals, and rebuilt transmission. My question is, can the clutch from...
