Does every 40 have a hood that obese cloggers used for a stage or just mine? I got it shrunk down where it was oil-canning, but was just lumpy when it came down to it.
Drove around town then prepped for a ride in this 389 with a C15 ACERT swap from Bend, Oregon to Philly. This thing is an absolute freight train, nothing better than a Cat.
Fabricated custom bracelets to mount a 2003-2006 Tj bench seat.
Painted the hinges and frame since they were raw metal.
Paint job wasn’t perfect but it’ll never see the light of day again.
When tumbled forward it just touches the back of the...
Have you checked the master cylinder - it could allow bypass for the rear system while the front system works fine. The rubber flex line to the rear axle could be failing inside and acting as check valve when pressure is on. Did you use real...
Not my thunder, I just carry the mail. 😉
All credit where credit is due. RCLC laying it down. Nice contrast in the driver side foot well. Teaser shot of the aft section. IMHO, The tone on tone contrast between the liner and paint really catches...
I installed the Sylvania headlights tonight. They are so much better than the old ones. These produce a nice bright, white beam. Great improvement!
Also, took a short video of the engine sound at high rev and at idle. She doesn’t skip a beat.!!
Wanted to start a build thread for my FJ40. 40's have always been my favorite car.
My wife and I first saw this one by an animal shelter that we volunteer at. After weeks of driving past it I finally left a note on the windshield and got my...
I used the 1" dd end of a late model Chevy truck for the end of the steering column. I use them because you can use the telescoping shaft and u joints if you want to and the junk yard is full of steering columns that the crackheads have ruined...
I've been on the road for a week but I had gotten the steering wheel, column and u-joints ready to go. I used panel bond to fill the cracks in the wheel and I also used it to build out the end of the turn signal lever, which was broken. The...
When I went to use the hood hinges I discovered they were pretty clapped out. To fix it, I cut a piece of NiCor 5/16" brake line to length and split it to make a bushing. It worked pretty well and was quick and cheap.
Chase: Reading your thread, I believe that you disconnected your parking brake at the firewall for removal of the trans/T-case. This is the approach that I would like to implement as well. Is it pretty self-explanatory, or are there any...
