This was the coolest tool stand I've ever seen. It was in a fab shop in Cheyenne, WY. It's a drilling head for a well drill.

You have perhaps had a sill replacement, as your hook only has two of the four bolts that are required to properly secure it. You should investigate whether you have ordinary hardware behind the sill, or fixed hardware. Does the latch slide...

This much

Just jumped on the Serra Toyota 25% off sale and picked up an FJ40 Upper Dash pad along with the spacers and bolts... all for $367 shipped to the door. That's cheaper than the re-pop knockoffs... and honestly cheaper than I've ever seen. 💸💸💸

Hi @brasskey, I decided to respond to your PM here. I do not have anymore sets made up and it's not economical to make one set up. I'm posting here to see if there's any interest from other folks. If there's enuff interest, I would be open to...

I usually say slow down no matter what you drive . Night driving where there are deer is an accident waiting to happen. Good lighting, cattle guard, deer whistles and "slow" driving help but nothing works better than staying home. But we all...

I’m saving the old spring struts. Maybe rebuild ‘em with a gas strut inside like some here do. In the mean time, I really really like my hatch gate now. The AVR struts are great. Just open the hatch and step away… she rises on her own allllll the...

Looks great A lot of folks gut the chrome struts and install gas struts inside of them. Here's 1 link of many. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/gas-struts-for-rear-lift-gate-on-73-where-do-you-fin-em.72891/

Lol you said crappy American brake. The only thing crappy was the install and not using a proportioning valve. Nothing wrong with those calipers. I have used them for years with no issues.

didn't have a proportioning valve until 4 months ago so the rears were doing extra work. however not the point of this thread. Not at all interested one bit in hanging a giant vulnerable part under my car that mashes through rocks and whatnot on...

Call it a day A handful of pits in the surface. This is not a job that I wanted to be doing right now, but I wanted to be able to say that there is not one iota of filler under the doors. 100% metal, primer and paint. I still have to do the...

Overheating Mystery Solved!!! First - thanks to all of you who offered advice and ideas to try! This forum is the BEST. You won't believe what I found... At the base of the thermostat housing where it bolts to the head there is a gasket. We were...

Swapped ambers for clears.

Jolene’s baby sister can’t help but peek around the corner and admire the old girl’s spiffy new interior look. Last coat of clear drying. Color coat is done. Clear coating now. With clear coat. Stupid finger. Now this is looking much...

My BIL shovelhead, back in the day

That thread gave me the answers I needed. Thank you for the link. Adding loosening the hard top bolts for the first time in decades to the project list. Putting the old screws back in the old dash until the hard top bolt project is done...

The PO had removed the dash pad yrs b4 I bought the 40. B4 I started working on other things, i sprayed the hinges with rust penetrant. I knew I'll evetually have to lower the windshield to replace the dash pad and the doors. You'll have to...

A little update. About 9000 miles in the last year and nothing major. I had to replace the transfer case input seal and chased some speed wobble issues that turned out to be a wheel that had thrown its weight but nothing else serious. Glad I...

What was the thought process on tightening those u-bolts and u-bolt plate to yield or is there some strange fish eye effect going on that makes them look very much bent?

Hallelujah my engine vibration is fixed! The combo of the slightly different design (in my opinion much better). Of the Cruiser Solutions bracket, and a slightly longer belt have it lined up and smooth as butter. What a relief. Winch plate should...

$16,000 OBO 1970 FJ40 acquired approximately 6 years ago to be used for rides around town as a third vehicle. The circumstances have changed after investment of over $25k. The truck was listed on BAT in 2022 (link - 1970 Toyota Land Cruiser...

30yrs is a fair piece of realestate to wander on. I like kicking around on that ground myself. Pretty sure I had more hair then. 🤔 In our house, it was Quaker State for all things internal combustion and 3-in-1 was the undisputed external...

When I removed my lights the PS buckets had rusted right through and exposed the bulbs. I also replaced the rock shields once I put the new lights in.

You might reach out to @Coolerman, here on the forum. He used to build full harnesses, but he does have access to correct wiring, connectors, and such. I haven't had any business with him, however I've read a lot of good.

I would tread carefully with those anvils. They do look a lot like cheap cast chinese anvils.
