I'm trying to find a Tuffy 023-03 center console for my FJ40. The gray one seems to be out of stock at the moment. If anyone has one available, I would love to buy it.
I started making these a few months ago and need to get them on the website, but figured I'd post here as well to try and move some.
Fits all 40/55 series front axles, and rear axles up to -75
No, they don't have the little rigidity bend in the...
The rear heater pipes cleaned up well. The foam had some scuff marks after nearly 50 years so I used some heavy duty heat shrink to spruce them up a bit.
On my 09/77, the 3 point belt anchor point just moves from the hard top side to the roll bar when top is removed. It has the bigger 11mm bolt in that spot. I would assume yours does as well.
You're not far off. In my line of work I deal with allegedly smart people (engineers) making stupid decisions on various military systems. I have to be nice to them. This situation is similar in that they also do not have real world experience...
* You will not be able to source the parts to make your engine DI.
* If you were to find the parts (essentially a whole engine) the cost to import it and build it would far exceed the cost of a 15bft.
I appreciate your feedback. No part of me is hurt. I am genuinely on a journey learning about Toyota diesels. Coming from the Cummins world, I have a ton to learn.
Your attitude here is less than ideal. I’m sorry if your home life is hard or...
All of your ideas are terrible. Sorry if your feelings are hurt. Listen to the more experienced members here and install a direct injected engine if you want more power from your van. The idea of making a DI out of your engine is not realistic...
Not quite done with the whole heater refurb but, I did reinstall the box to clear some workspace on my tool box.
These heater pipes were looking a little ragged, so I cleaned them in my solution and refinished the insulation with heat shrink...
Drove around town then prepped for a ride in this 389 with a C15 ACERT swap from Bend, Oregon to Philly. This thing is an absolute freight train, nothing better than a Cat.
Well, boxes arrived from Japan4x4. I can't say enough about Dave Stedman. Everything came packed perfectly - 2 quarter panels for the troopy, rocker panels and 4 sets for the 15BFTs so we can cover them from a Coaster configuration to a...
#protip fill the recess for the o-ring with grease prior to installing the o-ring. The grease keeps the o-ring in place while the solenoid is reinstalled.
The megacruiser only has an oil pressure switch here, so I removed it and installed a new...
With the ACSD removed, I swapped out this block drain plug which was previously also the ACSD coolant return. The new plug also has a barb but, this one is for catching the coolant when you drain the block. I had a hard time finding this part...
