Solid result. I hope it exceeded your expectations! Your listing inspired me to buy a seat console on Amazon. works awesome wish I had done it long time ago. Also inspired me to dig Into my AC which Dan at the museum helped ID. I have little hope in reviving it but we will see. Now to figure out...
That one had a (dealer) seller who isn’t a land cruiser enthusiast, ignored some questions, actually listed a car with mismatched tires, and has a history of unreasonable reserves… @residualboulders your’s will do very well I expect. Great videos and presentation. I wish I had the ability to...
you are right - toyotapartsdeal has them for $133. and now that i've been educated here, i found this thread, which would have set me straight had I known what i was searching for! - Riveted steelies with disc brakes? - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/riveted-steelies-with-disc-brakes.598429/...
I had a feeling I was asking a simple question. thanks for the info! i've not encountered a riveted wheel before. this being a 77, would this have come from the factory with all welded wheels and not riveted? is this just a replacement that found its way onto the truck at some point?
This might be a noob question/observation, but what should I make of this wheel? I decided to rotate tires for the first time on this mostly garage queen pig which sadly has only had about 2000 concrete miles put on it since new tires were installed in 2018. the wheel pictured below was on the...
Looks like the spring from this post:

No, they did not. Alcan will make them if you ask and pay and provide all the relevant measurements… I had the guy who installed them for me source them however.
I also missed the change and showed up yesterday. Had the kids so we just enjoyed pizza. Sorry I haven’t seen folks in a while and wasn’t sure who’s tan fj40 that was or I would have said hi. Will try and make a future meet.

I am not sure the exact specs as I didn’t ask for them and they didn’t provide them. I called alcan and spoke to a guy named Lew. I told him I have a bone stock Fj55 and wanted bolt in replacements. He said they’ve done springs for fj55s and had all the specs. Just asked if I planned to add any...
Finally got the alcans and new shocks on, here's a pic. This was 2" lift from the stock alcan setup. The advice i got to go with 2" lift to be closer to stock was valid. Tires on there are 30x9.5x15. Can definitely go bigger on next tire change. Drives like a different vehicle. Now to address...
I visited Twomeys and was told pretty much the same thing as @PJATX - except the number was more like 20k. That's for doing it right - disassemble everything, remove glass and rubber, media blast back to bare metal, rust repair, new two-tone paint finish, reassembly. Plus a healthy dose of...
agree - for your first ebike stick with the name brands from a local seller if possible. Go ride a few as they all differ in how they ride and how much power they provide.
My first ebike was from a kickstarter and it was a $700 piece of garbage. For a well-made, won't die in a few months...
