Thanks for the nice comments on the rack. I got it all together in time to make the trip to Moab. I drove it there and back without any issues. It will handle 80 on the Highway just fine although it sounds like I am driving through a...
For sure, you will need a speedy sleeve on that brake drum….
If you replace the TC extension housing, there are shims that set the preload on the TC output shaft bearing. You may need to add/subtract shims to compensate for differences in the...
You know Mike if you would stayed in Arizona your wouldn't need a pressure pot. Just about any sealed container painted black and set outside on asphalt would do the trick.
Maybe see if Georg @orangefj45 will take that one as is for a core against one of his dual seal units. Two birds one stone deal. Definitely sleeve it as well.
Many thanks to Living In The Past for the use of the loaner lens! Give it back to him with one of the first tries. I kept getting bubbles even when using a vacuum pot. To clarify the vacuum was to remove bubbles from the mix not the mold. I...
As of this afternoon, gotten this far. For some reason, the mounting flange on these headers is taller than the 2F manifold so I did need to trim the insulator to have it lie fully flat against the intake. Wiring is next and drilling in for the...
Thank you for the update Matthew, I will continue to wait for the hinges. I think it would have been smart to make it clear on your webside last year that they were not available temporarily. Thank you for your service
Update on this in case someone down the road is trying to figure it out.
Each stud has 3 small welds. They can be removed by cutting head off, pounding out, and grinding the roll bar foot clean.
I have watched Ben and Rachel’s videos for over 2 years now…. Surely beats the crap that is on TV and they are informative and entertaining. Just starting my Sniper install this week as well.and of course and re-watched several YouTube videos on...
Tires are 285-75R16’s. I run the 265 version on the Tundra. They have a taller sidewall. Skinny’s are OK, it’s a look, I just prefer something a little phatter. If you get a set, don’t buy the center “52” caps/rings I have an extra set. I’ll...
I finally got my fj40 engine swap done as of Sunday/Monday No more leaky worn out SBC now it has a beautiful 2f. Its running and driving! I apologize about the vertical video quality.
It was 77 degrees today and it actually felt a bit hot in the sun but I did get the in-tank fuel pump installed and aligned ready to go. It was much easier than I thought and only took about an hour and a half. Sniper stuff getting laid out on...
Restored and powder coated (had to also make the booth) a late model carb cooling fan 16360-61023 and retrofitted it into a 1976 40. Created a small upper bracket to catch the two #4 M6 bolts. Used neoprene 3/4x3/4T to close gap between fan and...
