Running issue fixed - there was a wire that the brake pedal assembly was pulling on when fully depressed. Secured that out of the way and all good now.

How about $9,999?

1968 FJ40 that has been extensively modified over the years. I bought it as a stalled build and proceeded to get it ready to complete (which it did) the Copperstate Overland. This is a drivable project where the new and overhauled parts exceed asking price. Clean CA title, on Non-Op so no fees...

Thanks @77mustard40 , both holding up OK as far as wear goes?

Good morning, hope everyone had a good weekend. The 285/70/17 tires on my rig need to be replaced and I was hoping to get some thoughts on do/don't as far as brand or tire model for mainly offroad use before ordering. I live in SoCal so dry weather and mostly scrub and fireroads, some limited...

Thank you, lots to chew on there. Appreciate the ideas all.

Thanks for the post and the pictures, jeep or otherwise it is always helpful to see how other people have solve the problems like this.

Yeah, I’m kind of special when it comes to stuff like this. Grin. Backstory on this is that I was in a time rush to get the FJ ready for a charity event and just ran out of time to do it properly. The rig came with a GM 350 V8 in it, and the TH 350 was what it was made it to. I’ve since...

Hi folks - hope everyone had a good weekend. I have a TH 350 with a crawl box that currently requires me to jump out and crawl under the rig to select four-wheel-drive and high and low. Fun, makes for some good pictures and teasing, but not really ideal. I need to fabricate a two lever system...

Hey! Belated Happy New Year. I did get the rig built and we successfully completed the Copper State Overland and then it probably died. Engine was just too tired to cost effectively rebuild. She has a new GM Performance SBC and Painless wiring harness installed along with a 1974 front axle to...

Congratulations - please keep us posted.

Thank you for the reply and link.

^^^^^ In addition does it have a hard shut-off and die, or sputter and cough and then die?

The total electrical connection on the rig is call a wiring harness, basically all the wires on the rig that connect the various switches and sensors and lights and engine electrical.

I had similar - but with an engine swap - and went Painless. Not truly painless, but more like dull headache than migraine. May be overkill for what you need to get sorted out however.
