I've searched and found lots of "bump stop" threads / comments, but not specifically the information I've been looking for. I know you aren't making your bump stop extensions any longer, but is there any chance you could either post some dimensions (or IM them to me), so folks who want to make...

This may be a question that's been answered before, but what's the distance from the axle to the bump stop on a STOCK FJ40? Mine had some aftermarket springs on it when I bought it and have since been replaced with a 2.5" lift from Redline LC. I'm good with building my own extensions, but I...

Bump an old thread in case anyone else ever asks this same question..... I was trying to figure out a good way to set 30 deg BTDC, so I could check my rotor phasing. A standard 2F flywheel has 136 teeth. 360/136 = 2.65 deg. So, 30 deg. = 11.3 teeth.

Home - Speedometer Cables - https://speedometercablesusa.com has gearbox adapters as well. I called and talked through what I was doing on my 40 and they helped me pick the correct gear ration for the adapter. You can also send the unit in to be re-geared later on if you make other tire or...

I do the same thing....and yeah, my wife is the one who asked for the handle. My OCD won't let me do just one on the passenger side though! LOL

I'm planning to put a couple of M8 rivnuts in the A-pillar (red dots in the picture) and get a handle from somewhere. I mainly run with a bikini top and tube doors, so it won't be in the way of the upper door frame...I'll probably do the same to the section above the door when I have the hard...

Hi Chris, I'm not the OP, but I'd like to take you up on that offer.....I'm looking for seats to put in my 40. I'm down in Fuquay-Varina. If you don't mind messaging me your contact info, I'll reach out to you offline. Thanks!

Thanks for posting this.....I'm 6'2" 260 and have been considering Scheel-Mann seats for my 40.

The website just has a "contact us" section, but all of my communication, as well as my purchase invoice came from deluxespeedometer@hotmail.com Try that e-mail address and see if you get a reply. .

I had Delta Cams to the grind for me. Billy had someone grind the lifters, but in hindsight, it would have been easier and less expensive to send them to Delta with the cam. I had Billy source my pistons, but since then I've found an excellent source for Toyota 2F parts.....magengines.com...

Billy Hauser has been working on Toyota engines since Hauser Machine was T-Hoff up in Raleigh years ago (Billy bought the shop when the owner retired, then moved to a better location in Garner). T-Hoff was widely known as the place to go for Toyota engine work and you'll be hard pressed to find...

Get a universal telescoping shaft from Borgeson.....just need to get a Double-D to round shaft universal for the steering column end and Double-D to 80 series spline for the box end. Cut to length and works like a champ. That's what I put together for my 80 series P/S conversion...

I don't have one, but a buddy up in Virgina bought one of these.....I wouldn't use it in a commercial shop, but for a home garage.....$130 ain't bad at all. https://www.vevor.com/strut-spring-compressor-c_10324/coil-spring-compressor-6600-lbs-auto-strut-hydraulic-tool-p_010767493892 There's...

Question.....if one has recently installed a complete new suspension kit, including Bilstein 5100 shocks.......:rolleyes: would those be suitable for the parabolic springs. They certainly felt like they had rather stiff damping.

Of course these come out 4 months after I put all new ProComp springs with the kit from RedLine on my 40. :bang: @Jonathan Hanson, in your review, would you be able to include ride and performance with no hard top? I run a bikini top 90% of the year and even the "soft" ProComp springs are too...
