Congrats
Nice truck. Is that the one just outside Rochester? Are you in the western NY area? If so, we have a small Cruiser club here. PM for info.

33s on 2.5 inch lift
I have 33x9.5s with a BDS 2.5 inch lift. I have not had an issue with rubbing. This works great for everything I wanted to do and rides better on the street than when I had 31x10.5. Just another option. Jay
Just had a chance to see these in person, they fit great and took all the slop out of my friend's 40. Got me set waiting to install, but wanted to let the non-ebay watchers know they are out there. I am not afflilated but just happy to have a better choice than plastic bushings...
I am planning to replace my rusted tub this winter with AL tub. I found a frame with OME springs, front shakle reversal, and tires/wheels. Now the questions, PO replaced front and rear bumpers with homemade, front is fine, rear has no cutouts for lights and looks shorter to me. It also as no...
I just found a gas station that is 10 cents cheaper, but it's 10% ethanol, I know the 85 is bad for my '74 40, 91 Prelude and 98 4rnr, but can I run 10% in these older systems ... without damage? thx Jay
After discussions with a couple of friends, I am now concerned I don't have a fusible link. I have a 9/74 FJ 40 with a hacked together wiring harness, thanks to PO and me, but I do not see the fusible link. On the other FJ's I have seen, a 78 and FJ60, the link was very near the battery. From my...
try it first
Take the top off and then decide how you feel after driving topless. I fall in love with my truck every spring when I take the hard top off. I like the bikini top to protect from sunburn and half doors or doorless all summer. The truck is much more fun without a top and doors...
I have a set for sale
I have a set in my attic, along with rocker panels. I will never use them, I need an AL tub, can't weld to rust ; ) Let me know if you are interested.
looks great but...
I am looking into doing the same thing, but does that cooler mount really block less than the spare tire? that looks like alot of blockage. Jay in NY
Thanks to a lister here I am adding a rear heater to my cold 40. I have a set of hard lines but may just use heater hose. I do not have the "T" fitting at the firewall/front heater for attaching the lines for rear. I was hoping someone had a great idea for a way to add the rear heater fittings...
I have it do... soft?
I have the BDS 2.5 inch with their shocks and new stock height CCOT shakles... what do you mean soft? It flattened or teh ride is softer than when you installed?
what I did
did and doing same. My friend borrowed an "insert tool" from a body shop and we drilled holes and pressed in the inset for bolts. Looked great, very clean.
I am doing the same now on a 75 top with hatch and plan to do teh above or just run the bolts all the way through the post...
what I did...
I had the same problem. I bought one of those "tuner" air filters at AutoZone, ripped off the cheap stuff and used the ~3 inch rubber ring and the metal ring that I cut and made flat(to fit stock carb, that was the sticking point) and then bolted and sealed with RTV on a flat...
Glad I am not alone on the last min repairs....
1. figure out new smoking problem from exhaust, I swear the only thing I changed was mixture.
2. wonder what the grease was in the rear brake drum when changing tires
3. talk myself out of adjusting all four drums before the 5 hr drive down to...
