Thanks! I'm going to have to remove some parts to get in there with a proper torque wrench!

My true question is how to wire in the isolator and spare battery.

I'm only looking at running a couple of low-power 110 tools. Maybe a 110 suitcase compressor until I get my 12v setup.

I want to be able to run 110 as well as a 12v cooler in my rig. I have a stack of gear I've collected/bought over the years as well as an additional pair of big Ford diesel batteries. I also have some foldable solar panels just in case. The first battery is ready to be installed in a welded...

Found that the mounting hardware had come loose on my rebuilt steering box! I tightened the hardware and it's tracking beautifully now. There were no split washers to hold the bolts/nuts in place. I have some split washers I'll install tomorrow. I took delivery of a kit to install an isolated...

I am. I'll pay to ship mine to you if you ship yours to me.

Thanks. I've got a '78 that I'm pretty sure has an earlier model windshield. The original cover does not fit. I'm wondering if the '78 motor will work on the older (75?76?) frame that the PO installed.

It appears that the PO replaced the windshield frame on my 1978 FJ40 with an older frame. The rig was rolled. I have the wiper motor and the cover, but mine is wider than the holes in the frame. Will the motor for the 78 work with the older frames? The holes on the motor mounting plate line up...

polyperformance has a 10% coupon. I'm actually going to get the medium compressor and the rear locker so it will be $1300. Discount code is GET10BACK.

Thanks. My neighbor is a Toyota mechanic plus I have tech friends who have the tools and skills to get it back together at the right tolerances.

I know a guy. LOL.

Looks like I can get an ARB rear locker and the compressor for under $1200 with the discount. I'll run it by the wife and prolly order it this weekend. Once I get that installed, I'll see if I really need the front locker. Thanks for all the positive feedback and advice. And no dickhead trolls!

I got a winch before I got the lift and 33s.

It hadn't occurred to me to put a different brand/type of locker in each axle. That's more food for thought. Now. Who sells lockers and gives a veteran discount?

Sorry for your loss. I lost my G'ma 2 years ago at 105. When I got my degree she sent me the money to buy a car. My Honda del Sol was named "Berniece" in her honor. I'm on "Berniece, Jr." now.
