@pb4ugo I hadn't thought of pulling the wires off individually. I gave it a try and was actually pretty surprised at how little of a difference it made with most of the cylinders at idle. I could barely tell a difference. There were 2 that seemed to make the general engine noise louder when I...

My 2F has developed what at first seemed like a ticking noise, and now seems more like a slight knocking noise. I'm not sure how to proceed with diagnosing it. A couple of weeks ago, I thought I would adjust the valves to see if it went away. I adjusted the valves with the engine running, and...

These are some parts that came with an FJ Cruiser that I bought a few years ago. I've since sold it, but cleaning out the garage. Let me know if you are interested.

Hey there! I moved to Summerville last June from Oregon. Just got my FJ40 shipped down recently. It's a mess, but it's at least drivable. I met @ErikinSC at a car show on Saturday, and he recommended the group here. Looking forward to a meet up opportunity. Was great to meet you Erik! Cheers!

Just got a text from the dealership in SC, they've got a First Edition LC 250 I can put a deposit on. Will be here in 25 days.

Last night my new transfer case housing and rebuild parts arrived from Georg. He was helpful over the phone, as this is my first time rebuilding the transfer case. I'm sure he could help you figure out what you'd need, and he's got the parts. Georg @ Valley Hybrids @ Cruiser Brothers Shop...

Mostly correct! A non broken bolt got squeezed between case and idler, cracking the case from the inside out.

Good guess, but that wasn't the failure mode.

Good question. I don't plan on wheeling it very hard, so no I won't be. And... I'm pretty sure the t-case saver and nose rings wouldn't have helped me in this situation. Here's pictures of the evidence. I know what happened, can anyone else figure it out? Here's a hint, it's a bit embarrassing.

There's only an "R" stamped there?

I think you are right, I see it now, no ribs on the boss around the idler shaft. Perfect, thank you!

Thanks, I had reviewed that, but didn't help me much. I couldn't make out the difference between the early 70's and later 70's cases. So I'm not sure what I have. Unless someone else's eagle eyes can point it out to me.

I'm trying to identify the year of my transfer case. I know it is not the original transfer case. The case is cracked and I am intending on replacing it with one from a 1979 FJ40. I'm trying to make sure I can just switch everything over to the 1979 case, and trying to determine which rebuild...

It was the knuckle/spindle. The thin part that already has a bend to it as it goes up towards the upper A arm. It bent at that location. Had it replaced along with the ball joints. Seems to be all good now, although it was done by a local mechanic, so he only did a tape measure alignment. It's...

Thanks, I did look at the cam bolts as suggested by @BMThiker . They had not spun over the tabs. Though the front one looked like it might have shifted just a small amount.
