    For Sale  Rancho 2.5" Springs in WA

    I have a set of used Rancho 2.5" springs. These are the softride springs and I always thought they rode pretty good. In fact I was real hesitant to jump up to the 4" springs but I finally did it, so these must go. I really don't want to mess with shipping these, so local is preferred. Located...

    OM617 or small block 350 in fj40

    Personally, I would just stick with the 350. It may be 65 year old technology but it is very good reliable technology. That's why it was around for years. Sure , everybody wants an LS these days. Great platform with awesome technology :). But that adds a little more to your plate for things...

    FJ40 as a first car

    Go for it. However. like many have said, it might be a good idea to have a beater for a backup. My first "car" was a 58 Chevy Apache Stepside. I bought it when I was 15. I still own it and that was over 40 years ago. One thing I remember was people always said "I use to have one of those....wish...

    What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

    I believe so. According to the tape measure, it should clear by over an inch. Plus I am running 4" springs and extended shackles.

    Skyjacker Spring Question

    I just put my new to me but used Skyjacker 4" springs on my rig. I haven't had it off the hoist yet, but with the rear springs installed and axle hanging, my springs measured 40-1/2" and 40-5/16". Just 3/16" difference. I didn't notice it before I installed them, but the longer one is on the...

    Transmission cover with a sm420.

    I will stick to my original plan of finding a hump with a rusted out bottom, cut out a section big enough to cover my hole, fill the original holes and then make new holes for my shifters. Pretty simple really, just need to find someone that has a cover with a rusted out bottom. Thanks for your...

    Wanted WA, Looking for TRANSMISSION COVER

    Dang, that's too pretty to cut up. Better save that for someone that needs an original.

    Wanted  WA, Looking for TRANSMISSION COVER

    I am looking for a 4 speed trans cover hump for a 75 FJ40. I don't care if the bottom is all rusted out but the top section around the shifters needs to be unmolested. I am located in Eastern Washington. What do you all have out there. I need to patch the hole in my cover.

    Transmission cover with a sm420.

    My plan was to find a cover that was rusted out in the usual places, cut the top section out, patch the existing holes and then make new holes. But then I saw what fjl40 had and I said I want that.:bounce:

    Transmission cover with a sm420.

    I know what you mean. However, like I said, leave the shifter holes out of the equation (final end user makes holes to fit). Then get rough dimensions of the template needed. Sounds easier than it really is, but I don't think it would be that hard. Especially if I gave you dimensions of the...
