About 90% sure that is the blue. Got the bed skins tacked on. Cut out the wheel wells.....may adjust if needed. Ran out of time and daylight so, I will roll it out tomorrow to inspect. So far, I am happy with the proportions. -
PIG PUNISHER replied to the thread Front knuckle grease.Is the knuckle still assembled? You’re probably pushing it past the axle seal and into the housing if so. I don’t think you’re going to see grease coming from the knuckle balls. Needs a proper knuckle service.

Your battery appears a bit weak 😂.

PIG PUNISHER replied to the thread Second Chance FJ40.Yeah that was still using jumper cables. I was trying to avoid taking the battery out of my 80. After this video I pulled the battery and hooked it up with proper leads and it turns over much better. Not sure my oil pump is doing its thing...

PIG PUNISHER replied to the thread Second Chance FJ40.Maybe this will work. Short video of first start.
-
PIG PUNISHER replied to the thread Second Chance FJ40.Ok. Can’t figure out how to imbed a video but the engine ran today. First start in 20 years. As soon as I dropped the pertronix in the dizzy she fired right up. This girl wants a second chance at life!

Been slacking the last few days.......fixed my mess up tonight. Roughed in the corner radius piece. Out with the wrong and in with the correct. Much better now.

PIG PUNISHER replied to the thread '79 FJ40 Top to tub gap..I had a 79 years ago. The top never would sit down on the tub correctly. Sorry I’m no help.

PIG PUNISHER replied to the thread Second Chance FJ40.Pictures loaded in the wrong order. Use your imagination.

PIG PUNISHER replied to the thread Second Chance FJ40.Did a little work on the hubs from the donor axle. Wouldn’t you know it would start raining as soon as I sprayed them. Oh well. I can spray them again. These will go back with new hardware as well.

PIG PUNISHER replied to the thread Second Chance FJ40.Thanks. When I get to that point I’ll give you a call.

Tag him @65swb45 but usually the best way it to call him

PIG PUNISHER replied to the thread Second Chance FJ40.The 74 Aisins are silver under the layers of paint. The 83 ASCOs off the donor mini truck axle are blue. I may stick with the blue.

PIG PUNISHER replied to the thread Second Chance FJ40.Anyone know what color an aisin hub dial was in 1974?

PIG PUNISHER replied to the thread Jacks 40 to fake 45 build.I noticed that he widened it after I posted. I often speak before I have processed everything.
-
He widened the window. A factory gasket won’t work. Two gaskets split and glued would work just need the grab the ends with the same radius.
-
PIG PUNISHER replied to the thread Jacks 40 to fake 45 build.I would consider leaving it. Factory glass factory gasket and it’s not THAT noticeable.

PIG PUNISHER replied to the thread Second Chance FJ40.Anyone know if mark is still rebuilding carbs?
-
PIG PUNISHER replied to the thread Second Chance FJ40.I hooked up the coil and dizzy but I’m not getting a spark. Should have time to mess with it tomorrow. If not I’ll just wait for the pertronix and try again. I plan to do all the regasketing and engine painting with it in the frame as I don’t own...

Is your throttle wide open when cranking? If not, then you can probably get more thsn 120 psi with it open.

-
PIG PUNISHER replied to the thread Second Chance FJ40.Yup. Just hooked up some bigger ones and compression is 120 across the board. Still need to hook up a battery directly.
-
I'd bet that it is slow to turn because of the jumper cables.
-
PIG PUNISHER replied to the thread Second Chance FJ40.Thanks. The hilux is a parts truck for a 4wd conversion hilux that I will build one day.
-
PIG PUNISHER replied to the thread Second Chance FJ40.It turns over easy enough by hand. I’m going to pull the battery out of my 80 and connect it directly to the starter. I was using jumper cables and I think there is just too much resistance/voltage loss
