Guys,
Do / did the Toy IFS boxes come with different ratio's, or differences in the amount of "assist" provided to the steering system?
I ask because my bud had a leaking IFS box on his toy truck [ with mercedes diesel ], so he removed it and put another IFS box on that he sourced from the...
I just bought a 555 japanese fj60 tie rod end. It's the passenger side, with the hole in for attaching the drag link onto.
It turns out......that an fj80 tie rod end taper is too small for this fj60 TRE hole. I was going to use an fj80 TRE in that hole, but now I see it's not possible.
I was...
I need to make a new drag link.
My FJ80 steer box has an FJ80 pitman arm. Can the hole in the FJ80 pitman be reamed / tapered to fit a larger GM tie rod end? Will there be enough steel around the hole in the pitman if I do this?
Anyone done this?
Thanks.
Guys, Where is a good place to buy a quality FJ60 TRE? I need the passenger side with the relay hole in it.

Has anyone made an OBA system or portable compressor using a 12v motorhome air ride compressor, or one found on Cadillac's, Lincolns, etc?

Soon I will be reinstalling the wiring harness, dash, etc etc in the Samurai again, after having gone the body / tub rebuild.
As I recall, there are a multitude of ground wires under the dash and in the interior that connect to the body and to the the steel interior bar that spans from side...

I'll be painting my samurai this summer after completing all of the prep work. I would prefer to rent a spray booth, but have had zero success in finding one to rent. This leaves me with building my own portable spray booth. It will likely be a positive-pressure booth.

I just put an FJ80 steering box on my samurai. The steering knuckles run out of steering, lock to lock, before the steering box runs out of revolutions.......a good thing.
Does the steering box HAVE to be in the middle of the number of rotations, when the wheels are straight ahead, or does it...

AFAIK, I'm doing everything right...... Gear Wrench pitman puller, 4lb hammer, breaker bar, lots of penetrating fluid and a propane torch.
I began by soaking the spline in Moovit...

I need a different pitman arm, and the shorter 2WD toy pitman arm looks like it would work as per other threads on guys using it for their FJ boxes.
