No major changes. Thanks for the tips gentlemen. I'll let you know what we find.

2005 Tundra 100k 4 inch lift Would anyone be able to help identify the repetitive grinding/swoosh sound coming from the rear end of this Tundra. The owner recently had all 4 wheel bearings, driveshaft, and control arms checked. It happens at any speed and does not change if the brakes or...

The rig is on the East Coast tucked away in a garage. I'm in Hawai'i.

Thanks 45! That is reassuring to read from 6k miles away from the old girl.

1981 BJ41 24v volt system With the rear tail lights removed, should the front turn signals still operate when engaged? My parking lights will come on, but the turn signals will not blink. I'm 6000 miles away from the rig currently, so of anyone knows if you need the rear lights installed to...

$58,000 OBO I'm posting this for my friend of 40+ years. We both reside in Oahu Hawaii and I have personally driven this Defender. She is incredibly tight, well restored, and mechanically sound. As expected, she is about as quick as a box of hammers rolling up a hill. Other than some...

Tucker and Scrap...Thanks for the fast replies. I just ordered 30 of them.

What type of lug nuts is everyone running with the smoothies? I'd like to go with a "capped" or enclosed style to mitigate the great Northeast exposure...but I'm unsure if a cone seat is suitable?

I have 4 old rusty Silverado steel wheels . 16 x 6.5. No tires. Yours if you want them. I'm in Westfield.

Does anyone know of a reputable dry-ice blasting business in MA? (preferably Western Mass.). I've done the Google but I can't find any forum-backed places. Thanks up front.

I have 2 new Cruiser Corps battery trays for sale if anyone wants them. $15 each picked up or $20 shipped anywhere in the US. Thanks. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/cruiser-corps-battery-tray-kits-2.1235102/

Brand new battery trays. I bought 2 to fit my 24V 1980 BJ41, but opted on keeping the original setup as they weren't as rusted as suspected. $32 new each...selling for $20 shipped each. Thanks! Here's where I bought them: Battery Tray Kit - FJ40, FJ45 1958-1978

love2fly - Thanks for the prompt reply. these are indeed from Summit. Your filing idea is sound, however my main questions is if this surface even makes contact? Your initial review has me thinking that there is a small gap when mounted and where the raised edge is won't even be making metal...

Revisiting this thread.... 1980 BJ41 16x7 Wheel Vintique Can anyone confirm if the back side of the lug nut holes come in contact with the hub? The reason I ask is that all of them have a pretty sharp lip from when the hole was machined into the wheel. I could counter-bore them, but I'm not...

Travis, I have a 1980 BJ41 with a 2B. I opted to bypass a faulty EDIC system using the cable system found on earlier models. Using the pull stop knob and a Toyota hood release cable, it's a fairly straight forward install. The indents on the knob aren't utilized. It's merely a pull to stop...
