I bought my 150 9 months and it came with an interstate battery. Battery is dated 9/17 and it's failing already and the Interstate store won't give me a warranty exchange because I'm not the original purchaser. I was going to go with the Orielly's Super Start Platinum AGM because it seemed to...

A little late with the info but here it is: Weight of seats is 96 lbs and would require a box that is roughly 36x30x30 inches.

I've gotten a few messages regarding shipping. Yes, I wouldn't mind shipping them if the buyer covers the shipping charges, and I'd need payment up front. I'll have them weighted and dimensioned later today so people can estimate shipping charges to their zip code.

I've replaced the seats in the FJ40 and I had some interested parties messaging me about the stock/original ones. I've got them sitting in my garage ready to go. Asking $350 or best offer. Comes with the mounts/brackets. I think I even have the bolts that held them down. Looks like the previous...

Guess my gauge is toast. Does this mean the reading is offset where actual C is around the middle of the gauge where it rests with key on engine off and actual H is where it is when off? Or is the reading completely off?

Ahh OK that's what I thought. Basically just make sure there's no upwards burr or lip? There's a Jeep shop by my place that works on old CJs, hopefully they'll be able to help.

What do you mean by "stone the top surface"? I've been to 4 plumbing supply stores and no luck so far :( heading to home depot now.

The oil supply line from the pump to the rockers rubbed against it and now has a hole in it. Is it safe to grind it down? Also is the copper oil line just compression fittings I can make from a plumbing supply store?

Redoing the head and the head gasket kit from CCOT came with a bunch of gaskets and seals. Since it's leaking oil from the bottom of the timing cover thought I'd swap out the gaskets with the new ones. See pics, is the blue oil seal the for the crankshaft pulley? And what about the green one...

Oops! What's the fine?! I'm fixing it now I promise!

Here are some pics. No cuts or tears in the vinyl. I've also got the stock drum brakes (all 4) since I did the 4 wheel disc brake conversion and the stock mechanical fuel pump that I'm no longer using.

Are you looking for stock seats? I have 70 FJ40 that I'm swapping the stock seats with bucket seats.

Yes you can bend them but it's best to do with a tube bender so you don't put a kink in it. Harbor freight has a decent one for 7.99: 1/4 in. - 3/8 in. Tubing Bender Don't try to bend/curve it by grabbing 2 ends like you would a clothes hanger because that's how you get a kink in it. I got...

Another update: Head was easy to take off, and I got the cylinder block drain unclogged! After I got the head off I poked around the rear coolant passages with a screwdriver and it wasn't going in more than 1-2"! I even got a screwdriver stuck by lightly hammering it into the gunk. I went it...
