    Newbie stuck in 4wd

    Check the linkage, mud and road grime will gum up the works. I found a hammer makes a great persuader in the hands of a true professional.

    4 speed Tranny rebuild?????

    I had a mechanic friend of mine take a look at it and he says the main bearing is shot. I know I can pick up a used one (tranny) and have it in in a day or two, but part of me would like to take a shot at rebuilding it myself to get the experence, then if I screw it up I'll go the used route. On...

    Just thought I drop a quick note as to what I did. I was able to, modify, (cut bend and cuss), my 65 hump to fit over the 4 speed and transfer. I cut one long rectangular hole from the Tranny shifter to the transfer shifter. Now I am in the process of making a custom steel insert to fill the...

    Steering Wheel Replacement

    I want to replace the stock wheel on a 65 FJ40 with a smaller Grant steering wheel. The problem is they don't list an adaptor for anything older then a 73. Does anyone know if the 73 is the same as the 65? Otherwise Grant needs the OD, ID and spline count on the column to match with other...

    Electrical upgrade FJ40

    A few things to keep in mind; Check all lights and switches before starting project, that way when testing the completed wiring job you take that variable out of the equation. My ignition switch was bad, replaced it and all worked great. I used a EZ 21 wiring harness, much cheaper then...

    Tranny hump Modification

    From what I understand the 4 speed sits higher and a littler closer to the passenger side then the original 3 speed tranny cover. I plan on trying to modify what I have first and if that dosen't work try out some other fixes. If anyone has done this modification already and has some pictures...

    OK, I've installed a 4spd tranny and transfer case in my 65 cruiser. Now I need to modify the Hump for the new floor shifter. Does anyone have pictures or advice about this undertaking.
