Mud is awesome.. i appreciate all the nuggets of wisdom you have all offered, keep them coming!!! I may not make a perfect purchase, but i am sure it will help me from making a catastrophic one.

Yeah it ls the electrical actuator for a 62. Thank you for the reply either way.

ISO of a lock actuator for an fj62 for the rear lift gate .

Thanks It’s been good. Just been pretty reliable and taking me where I want to go.

What a rollercoaster of a thread. Good work! hope its stayed out of more trouble.

Ok, I’m gonna keep going with my reseal job here. Maybe it helps somebody down the road. Tagging @Hokie LX since he’s doing this right now too. Maybe we can compare notes. I talked to Hokie and he’s got engravings on the parts above as well so...

Power steering gearbox reseal is underway while I wait for news from the machine shop. the steering box on my truck is bleeding all over the place. I got one of the last few seal kits in the world from what I can tell. Rock Auto has a Gates kit...

Another random photo. Engineer Pass during SAS7, taken by @joesfj40.

I’ll get back to old work later. I mentioned the future in the last post… So the bearings didn’t thrill me. It’s a 2F though, they seem to want to keep running despite all odds against them. But I also recently did a compression test. Top dry...

I also took my oil pan off to make the rear main seal easier to do while I was in there. And I wanted to get a look at some of the bearing since the motor has always made a non-rhythmic noise from the lower end. Figured I’d go ahead and get a...

I've got three more good wheel chocks now.

Alright - everything is out of the rig, with the extra bell housing and trans / transfer case are up on the classifieds. I was able to drive it up and down the street, and have already noticed that there's a vacuum leak from the brake booster...

Just built this for my Son. Picked up an Intesne 951 XC and swapped the build kit with his old bike. Came in at 27.05 lbs complete. It’s a large so I might have to sneak a few rides in on it. His old bikes for sale here...

i ended up ordering what i need from @Coolerman . i think it shipped out before i even sent him the funds.

I have a 1973 FJ40 with the hard to find reverse light! Lens are non existent! I found out many old car enthusiasts have the same problem and make their own! So why no me! I tested the theory and made a mold from a clearance light! I found out...

Hey Matt Waiting on the remaining parts order from you. I can’t seem to get a hold of you. Please let me know. What and when? Thanks

👍🏽

Made a trek up to the fiery hellhole we call Phoenix this weekend to meet up with @Cruddz, who was nice enough to sell me the axles out of his FJ62. Tucsonans & Phoenicians grow up being told that one city is better than the other, and while I...

In the meantime, I have been very busy juggling three different construction projects simultaneously. In yet another amazing piece of karma, the time and energy that remain for running Mark’s Off Road now seems to be perfectly matched to the...

Utah was great! The day after I moved there was the first time I met Maggie (@Beastiethe70) at the Cruiser Museum! I think this was when she was gearing up for her Alaska Adventure! I drove slowly on the salt flats! I didn't want that salt...

Upgraded the interior door handles and installed 3d printed grommets on the handle to reduce "Play" on the outer handle.

Thank you No these are the original ones that came off the cruiser. I don’t think there are any aftermarket panels for these. Try the classifieds or ClassicCruisers in CO.

Did a little paint on the seat back panels. On the 40 series. I think it came out pretty good. Better than what it was.

A few photos I pirated from SuckCreekPhotos.com They were taking pics as I drove by on Saturday. Pretty neat looking pile of junk if I say so myself 😎

This was a requirement. Turns out I can get things to pass smog, but it's kind of a pain and would rather just not deal with it.
