If it's like every import I have seen, it already has the fine splined birfs, so it would be a slam dunk easy deal to install discs on it....

Passenger side done.

I look for like new old made in America if I can. Believe me, I have had my share of cheap tools.

Seller just texted me: the 43 was picked up 15 minutes ago. Anyone who happens to see it on the truck in Tx, La, Ms, Al or Fla will get a free like if they post a pic here.

I can see the rust in the upper right corner of the shroud. Is the rest solid? I got burned on an air cleaner lid earlier this year from another mud member, so I’m learning to ask.

I'm sorry, I'm not gonna read a post that long. If you looking for a cheap seat that fits between the fenderwells of a 40 try a jeep cj or yj. The later models did a fold and tumble. Back in the day they were a dime a dozen

I was under the impression the wheel is not supposed to be centered to allow for the axle to move back as the suspension moves back? The Reverend Ian's looks pretty far forward though.

I used the Omni system too and followed the instructions sheets. What Wasatch said. This was my 1st time doing something like this. I was told and read I had 72 hrs after doing the epoxy primer sealer to top coat it, with 2k primer or color with...

To expand a bit on Jdc1's reply, you really want your primer to have the best adhesion possible to the metal. As such, why would you want to put some cheap and easy primer underneath the epoxy primer, potentially sacrificing its bond to the...

Guys at the Tasco paint shop assured me that if I use epoxy primer I have a window of about 24 hours to get paint on or else the epoxy primer must be sanded. They further advised that stuff is a bitch to sand. YMMV.

I’d run epoxy and not waste time. Do your body work and then recoat as you finish areas.

We wheeled Blanca Peak today and were surprised with how technical the trail is. We had a great time though I wouldn’t come back with any of our other vehicles. We are off to the next destination tomorrow morning, which will be something more tame.

Shucks I'll give it try but I'm sure others could explain it better. There are many Landcruiser types that have FJ in their name FJ40, 43 ,45, 55, 60 and others, the F denotes engine type and J jeep type or something. In addition to add to the...

And the other food I tried to feed the monkey will be on BaT shortly once I get it all detailed. I do absolutely love this truck, and I really love driving it. She's been my daily when I'm not working since I finished her. But now I've got too...

And then, out of the blue, after I won the auction....I received this in the mail. Thank you again Eric.

Had the Dakota Digital cluster face plate painted black to match the rest of the dash with the color scheme I have going on. Got it back from paint today. Set in place just to see how it looks. Parking brake and throttle pedal in place...

I think it has more to do with the spring manufacturer. The same can be said about needing anti inversion shackles or not.

Yep, mine are cheap ass HF. I learned a long time ago, I can't keep nice things nice.

I just noticed where your calipers were made….

I have been working on the windshield frame. Sanding and rust mitigation on the hinges. I found a local shop that can cut a front windshield and am getting a quote next week. Today I put the soft top bows on and took the family around the...

That's a beautiful area. We wheeled Mt Blanca probably 20 years ago. It's a great trail.

That is a solid Cruiser! Thanks for sharing. We are also out exploring this weekend near the Sand Dunes National Park. Have fun!

How does the continuation of this thread contribute to FJ40/55 tech? If it doesn't maybe it should be shunted off to the Bad Sellers section.

It appears the military wrap spring is moving side to side and popping.
