    Wiper Mount

    Hey Yeti, there was a guy on PBB that had some stuff for sale and among the stuff was a 2.5" lift with shocks. I don't know if it sold or not. Might want to check anyway. As far as the wiper parts, I have a '78 windshield frame from a rollover. Let me know(via email) what you need exaactly...

    Stock carb or not

    This is my first time on the Mud forum and I have to say it is pretty nice. I am Kruzrtek, and I do rebuild carbs. I highly recommend staying with the stock Aisin. I have found this carb to be the best performing carb out there for any Cruiser. My rebuilds are averaging 15-17MPG in town and...

    twin turbo vs. turbo

    I am in the process of taking a 2F to a forced air induction system. I thought about turbo, which I am a HUGE fan of. Big fan of Audi quattro turbos. But in my research, and even before, I knew the 2F only has 4 main bearings and that is great for a stock engine that has some slight tweaking...

    steering adjustment 71fj40

    The "proper " way to adjust the center arm is, of course, loosen the 14mm bolt on top, turn the 17mm head of the pivot until snug(not tight) and back it off about a 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch. I set them up at about 1/8". The relay joints that are on the "pitman" arm of the box at both ends of that...

    carburetor

    Hey johnny, This is kruzrtek. I was wondering if you had chacked the points in the distributor. The contacts should look god and smooth. Also I don't believe there is going to be an issue with a ballest resistor because there shouldn't be one! The wire that goes down to the distributor will...

    carburetor

    You didn't mention if you had electronic ignition or a points style setup. If its points then you have to set the dwell at 32 degrees before you can set the timing properly. I had one in my shop a week ago that did the exact same thing with a dualjet on it. We thought it was a vacuum leak as...

    Porportioning valve for drum brakes?

    Not sure if what I tell you is completely usable or not. usually the proportioning valve is for a disc front, drum rear brake system. This is to allow more fluid to the front calipers(more volume), and the proportioning valve limits how much fluid goes to the rear. depending on the vehicle and...

    Wiring ?'s

    I am not quite an electrical engineer, but I can tell you that the crimp style connectors with dielectric grease inserted into them or coated on the wires, provides a very good connection and is also very vibration resistant. I am a technician on cruisers and other 4x4's and I promise you that...

    vapor lock, or something like it...

    It does sound a little like the accelerator pump and needle, seat =, and float assembly may be causing some problem. But you might want to try one thing before you dig in. On the side of the float bowl, opposite of the fuel line coming in, there is a hose on the top of the carb, sould be approx...

    2F timing question (RPMs)

    Ok, here is your response from the master toyota tech that does this all day, every day!! Yes, it does matter a very slight amount. The reason they tell you to up the idle is to give you more of a consistent smoother reading. You should set your timing at an idle speed of 700-750rpm. Then you...

    Axle overhaul hell

    I would also go for the harbor freight tools. But I think what has worked best for me is to take the chisel(smaller, thin tip) and put it into the slot of the cone washer if it has one then tap it with the hammer to split the washer apart and pop it out. also works for hubs equipped with cone...

    vapor lock, or something like it...

    You didn't try to drive it or run it with the fuel filler cap off did you? That may help the venting. Oh, and when you say you open the hood and pinch the choke off completely, what are you referring to exactly?
