I’m a long time member of mud, but on the 40 and 45 side. This is my first post over here on the 4Runner side. I just picked up a 95 limited, V6, 4x4 automatic. When I got it it had a misfire on #2 no cel. I’m in the process of chasing that down, but my issue is when I removed the TB I bumped...

Like others mentioned earlier, the front axle will require you to move the upper spring mounts outboard, as the 60 series axles are 3” wider. The added benefit of the 62 housing is it has a factory truss welded on it. The rear axle is easier, simply move the spring perches inboard to match the...

Finally found the elusive m10x1 banjo bolt to finish the clutch hydraulic system. Morty now has a working/functioning clutch!!

I ordered the Advance Adapter slave cylinder bracket for a V8 bellhousing. I had to modify the bracket to work with my bellhousing. It took some time but finally got it to line up correctly with the clutch arm. I should have this bled and functional this week, waiting on another piece of the...

Nothing like cutting up a perfectly good trans tunnel!! Made a huge opening to clear the trans cover and shift tower. I made a template out of thin cardboard and transferred it to sheet metal and cut out. Located where the shift tower will come through the floor. Will tack it in and make sure...

Yep, there will be a couple of bends made in them.

Had a free afternoon so I re-installed the trans/tcase. Tie downs, a chain fall, a cheapy trans jack that would not lift the combo, the roll cage to use as a pick point and a floor jack, what could possible go wrong! 🤣 I got it close to where it needed to go but I required assistance to get it...

So I had a few issues that needed to be taken care of with the clutch fork/throw out bearing combo and the bearing in the adaptor plate. I had the wrong clutch fork and throw out bearing for my set up. The bearing would not sit flat against the pressure plate fingers and the throw of the clutch...

Oh no, I will be handing you wrenches and pointing fingers while you get dirty!!!

The time has come to replace the tired 1F, clunky 3 speed and noisy ass t-case in Sully. I found an FJ60 4 speed/t-case combo. I sent the Tran’s and t-case to Georg at valley hybrids, he checked the 4 speed, then rebuilt the t-case and installed a 4 to 1 gear set. For those of you that follow...

Attended the Cruiser Summit in Oceanside today. The weather report of rain kept some people at home. Their loss it was a good time, Pat the owner of Summit Steel had a wood fired pizza guy on hand making great pizzas to feed the masses. Pat brought out the ramp, several vehicles took the...

Pees, What was the valving you went with for the fronts? Were you saying the 255/70 were too stiff for the front or rear?

Wondering what shock lengths you ended up going with on your 40.

Club run to Rohwer Flats yesterday, 13 rigs in total. Great weather, although it was a little windy and cool up on top where we stopped to eat lunch. Unfortunately, Sully was suffering from carb woes and kept flooding on the uphills. Additionally, the transfer case has seen it last outing. I’ve...

Had a great time, hated having to cut the day short.
