I have a question for you experts. I have just recently been thinking about going with a HEI distributor in my 40, especially because my old coil and distributor have just failed. It is a 72, but I have just put in a 2f out of a '78 - 40. When we went to pull the original distributor, we found...

I need a 33" x 12.50" x 15 BFG MT if anyone has a spare. I live in NC, the closer the better.

I have just recently put a 4" Skyjacker on my 40, and I love it so far. The price was great, I ordered it through 4 Wheel Parts i think. Some people complain about the skyjacker lift being too stiff, but i think any 4" lift will be stiff compared to your 30+/- year old stock springs.

I have just recently been experiencing a new problem with my 2f. Usually my truck likes to get warmed up thoroughly before it runs at its best, probably like most of you, but recently when the truck gets to normal max temperature it is beginning to sputter and lose power. What do you think may...

Does anyone remember, have, or know were I can get some of those old tube safari doors with the netting that Man-A-Fre used to offer. I don't have a picture of them right now, but I think one of my old MAF catalogs has a picture. I will try and add the pic of them if no one knows what I am...

I didn't change the filter, there was only about 20 miles on it when I changed the oil. I went to a heavier weight oil in hopes to stop it from blowing so much smoke. I guess thats where I went wrong. Thanks Besides replacing the fouled plugs, do you think I did any other damage? I only ran it...

Of course I drained the oil.

I may be missing something, but i just put a 2F into my 72 FJ40, and i was snooping around the forum on how many quarts of oil I should put into it when I changed the oil. I found a thread that said I need to put in 8 - 8.5 quarts of oil. Well, I did that and the dip stick read almost double the...

Sorry, I did trim my rear fenders

Make sure you don't get too fancy on your CD player or someone else might want it more than you. That happened to me and they did a bunch of damage when they were stealing it, including cutting the soft top I had on it at the time (the idiots, the soft doors didn't even have locks on them.)...

My two bits, I just installed a 4" Skyjacker and some new 35"x12.5"'s last week. They fit fine with no rubbing, and the truck looks very proportioned.

I live in Clemmons, NC. It's just outside of Winston-Salem.

I know what the bezal is, i just didn't think they even had a right side up or down. If it really is upside down I will change it. I have already seen a few threads talking about the bezal police, I just thought they were joking.

I guess I am not sure what you are talking about

Hey, before I forget, does anyone know where I can find a fan shroud? I am getting a little bubbly.
