I am not in a hurry at all. Best wishes on a quick above asking price sale.

Rainman, I sent you a message regarding a 78 FJ40 rear long side hardline. Let me know what additional info you need from me. Thank you.

Just getting back into working (reviving) my rig, interested in price and your suggestions on a new wire harness for the vehicle. Thank you

I am in a similar boat, '78 with mods, and desires for additional options. My main request is a harness that has water resistance for splash or flood. What is available for our classic vehicles?

If he was serious at $6.8K he would have cleaned it up and made some effort. I don't see that here. He has not shown interior pictures of identified problems. As a project vehicle, it may have a good base. I would offer $2.0 K and haggle from there, him justify the additional money to pay. I...

The relay is not typical but is used when heat is an issue on the starter. I tried to jump the relay as talked about above. That did not work. So now its time to back up a little more to the ignition switch where the problem could be between the "on" and "start" wires. Option 2: punt and...

While I worked on it I cleaned all the connections so I am confident that it is grounded. I am currently running power through a four post relay, and then down to the starter solenoid. THe noise is definately in the relay and for some reason it is not closing the connection go get juice to the...

My cruiser won't start. I have tried to diagnose the problem but so far have only managed to buy new parts. A fairly quick search here did not identify a solution but gave me an idea or two. I would appreciate the wisdom of Mud to help me stop buying parts. The cruiser is not a daily...

Ige, Sorry for delay. Both springs and seats are for a FJ40. UberFJ: pics of springs attached. Will try to get pics of seats tomorrow.

Opened up the differential and found this. Looks like the inside bearing is shot, Bottom has a lot of gear dust. good news is that the ring and pinion look more or less OK. I will take it out in a few days when I have time and work on it. Hopefully just a bearing replacement and rebuild...

I pulled the drive shaft off and checked the nut. It is still pinned in place and I do not see any indication that it moved but I did not have a torque wrench with me to test it. The flange had about 30 degrees of rotation and a small wabble. I just ordered a Diff rebuild kit. I have...

So what I am understanding is pull the locker out and rebuild the rear diff with the original spider gears. This could be an easier solution if the power trax in the rear is messed up. I have both sets of spider gears so it would be easy to do but does it matter if I happen to put the front...

Posting to see interest. Pics to follow, PM me with questions. At present time I don't know weight or shipping costs. Parts are currently in Bellbrook OH (45305) and if not sold will be in Duluth MN (55812) in early August. Thanks for reading. 1. Set of 4" Legend springs from BTB...

Thanks for the input. Need to order a rebuild kit, then ease it into the auto hobby shop on base for a day of work. Did not really want to do a third project but I should be able to knock it out if the inside is not completely jacked up. I need this running solid because I plan on pulling...

Lunch box locker? what does this mean? I have a lockrite in the front and a power trax limited slip in the rear.
