BTW: One other thing you may want to look at, is misfires (through Tech stream). Do this while engine under load by transmission (hold foot on brake, transmission in "D", raise RPMs). Even better, during shutter while driving. I've found COP...

Glad you made it out ok. Must have been a hard hit, darn near knocked the punctuation right out of ya!

Try paying for it in CA

The e-lockers were definitely more expensive but if you decide to go with them Cruiser Brothers may occasionally have them on sale. I ended up getting both e-lockers for a total of $300 off, which made the price a little more palatable. Check...

I have had Harrop e-lockers in the front and rear in my LX470 for two years now with no issues. I have ARB lockers front and rear in my 40 and they have been trouble free for over 10 years and I have wheeled the crap out of it. You probably...

Not exclusively 100 series, but my truck is pretty well featured here:

And this is me learning to drive on my future FJ40. Family, friends... everyone loved the old Toy during the summer vacations. Got repainted a few times during his life. Always kept working preparing the winter. And now... back to the...

After buying an old house abandoned for 40 years in the mountains my father needed a 4x4 capable to access the house (that was only accessible by a donkey trail quickly widened) and capable to hull everything needed to rebuild this house. His...

Is anyone planning to attend this weekend? Rigged for Dirt - OC

You are welcome to come along on a run or to a meeting without first joining the club. After that, if the club feels like a good fit for you then go ahead and join. Chris

I'm loving this! Great use of parts on hand, and ingenuity that I wish I had.

I click on this thread every time I see it has a new post. Very interesting build and nice work. Especially liked seeing some of the past projects.

I have thoroughly been enjoying this build! Don’t take not a lot of responses as distain. I personally don’t have anything of value to add except I’m excited to see you build it!

My solution is two 40 , one topless and one with the hardtop on . No top and door is very fun to drive , but is not my daily driver

Just following up... I cleaned the gears behind the magnetic cup using electronics cleaner blasted in while spinning with a drill. A lot of dark crap came out with the fluid. I then greased the gears while spinning slowly with the drill to get...

Another successful club run put to rest with the last truck home safely!! Yahoo!!!! At least you had a beautiful day for the drive.

Just made the run to Ridgecrest and back to get the truck. We are back in business!

I think this is a true collectible. It looks like Earl Scheib’s last paint job.

The original posting make me think it's the copper spring that is failing. FYI the speedo (not the odometer) works with a copper spring that pulls the needle toward 0 and the needle is linked to the speedo cable with a magnetic connection. When...

Yikes! I have have been researching as well and it seems the magnetic cup is not serviceable. I took my 40 for a spin 2 days ago, the noise was unbearable and then AHH silence. UH OH! The needle is dangling straight down. :confused: Luck would...

Assuming the parts on an FJ62 are similar, I think that the part of the speedometer that I want to disassemble may not be serviceable based on this post: FJ62 Speedometer Noise - Disassemble, Clean , Swap WITH PHOTOS Anyone know for sure before...
