    Does the Tacoma have A-TRAC and a rear locker

    My 4Runner has both crawl control and A-trac but of course it's an automatic. The one thing I really wish I could (and may) change. A-Trac and the locker are fantastic and I'm very impressed with how capable it is stock with just some A/T's on it. But the crawl control I find is more of a...

    For Sale 1968 FJ40 FST with TBI in NH

    I'm going to miss having it around for sure. I was very tempted to buy it myself but it would have put a huge strain on my wallet and marriage right now. But it's going to a good home. The new owner has about the same plans I had. Frame-off, power steering, disc brakes up front, etc. It should...

    Tool for un-peening axle nuts?

    I've always just used an impact on these. And a new nut going back on most of the time.

    Wanted WTB Fj40 Project

    That is a nice find. But nowhere near stock. I've got a rust free mechanically sound one for sale that isn't lifted for 8 grand. But the hardtop isn't painted, it's got flares on it, and fuel injection. And it's in the northeast. It was originally being set up for an older not...

    2009 Tacoma #4 misfire

    Was the number 4 plug cleaner looking than the rest and do you hear gurgling in your heater core? If so it could be a slight head gasket leak. It was really common on cylinder 6 of the pre-08 4.0's and I have heard of a couple cases on 4 cylinders. My current V6 threw a misfire code a few weeks...

    craigslist 1974 FJ40 Coventry, CT

    Or you could buy one from out west that's already here in the east. Like the 68 I've got for sale for close to the same price.

    A quick hello and your valued opinions on this 78 FJ40

    That is a bit odd. Almost like it crashed into something head-on really hard but it would be tough to get the load as even as that from side to side. You should check out the 68 I've got for sale if you're open to 3 speed trucks. It's a heck of a lot cleaner body/frame wise than the one's you've...

    Should I Replace the Leaf Springs?

    I put all new spring bushings in the original springs on the 68 I was working on a while back. Lubed the crap out of them. Has newer regular replacement style (pretty soft) shocks on it. Still VERY bouncy. But not all over the road like it was before. Honestly I think my old 79 with Skyjacker...

    Has anybody used U-polRaptor lining on their frame; any regrets?

    I used eastwood rust encapsulator and then a few coats of their chassis black after I sandblasted my old FJ40 frame. I had it for 10 years after that and it held up great. A friend's shop uses their ceramic chassis paint on a lot of projects too and loves it. I would be concerned that bedliner...

    Power upgrades for 2TR-FE

    Honestly the V6 route may be worth looking into. I put 100k on a truck like yours before I bought a V6/auto double cab. Planning to pass, barely moving when loaded, 4th gear up steep grades at speed.... No longer an issue. Just put 265/75/16's on it and it didn't phase it a bit. Sure I don't...

    Flatbed for my 2010

    Are you building this for any particular reason? Here in the northeast I've seen a lot of older flatbed toyotas but usually it was just out of necessity. Most I knew wished they hadn't done it. By the time you make it strong and useful (so stuff doesn't just slide off) it's heavier than the...
