    +1 for tiny tach...install was so easy, too.

    Turn Signals or blinkers

    78 40 So all of a sudden my blinkers start acting crazy... One day, the left blinker would stay on when activated, but not blinking, just ON. A few days later, both sides are doing this. So, I've been checking bulbs and fuses so far and have found the following... lo/hi beams work fine...

    Brakes are locked

    Caddisfly, Yeah, I am that guy. I wondered if I'd ever get to see your cruiser! Hopefully this spring we can get into some mud!

    Brakes are locked

    Only wish I could help out as much as others have helped me here! For booster, I got mine from James at cruiserparts dot net. It was around 100-150 and used. Not the best, but in my region, the only other options were big bucks! The one he sent was fine, although it was from a 60 so I had to...

    New color??

    Any FJ cruiser owners mind posting the paint code for voodoo blue? I'm going to be using it on a '69 40. Thanks

    Brakes are locked

    @DblTap, A lot went on since this original post, but in the end, the only problem I really had, was a bad booster! Strange this is that it passed all the "tests" so I never tried to replace it until I basically had tried EVERYTHING (new master, second new master, new calipers, adjusted rear...

    Question on 40 Frames Breaking Above Rear Spring Hangers

    I have a few progress pics, but don't want to hijack. I only put this one up as a visual aid. Fixing it was sandblasting, cutting, welding, grinding, measuring, cutting, grinding, welding, etc...sort of a long process.

    brake help please!! - cant get front brakes to lock - tried everything

    I just went through the opposite, sort of. My front brakes would lock up after using them 3-5 times and then I'd have to crack the line at the MC to release the pistons! After replacing too many parts, it finally eneded up being a faulty Booster. After the old booster came out, it felt like a...

    New Shackles and Bushings

    Oh yeah, if you replace the frame-spring pins, too, I would order new ones and take the grinder to the old ones. It's usually MUCH faster that way.

    New Shackles and Bushings

    Not sure if this helps, but I've done several shackle replacements and never spent more than 60-90 minutes doing all 4. But, they were not totally rusted and siezed, either. I found using a bottle jack between spring pack and underside of frame helped when removing the shackle bolts. I never...

    22r into 22re?

    Hey thanks for all the replies. It looks like now, I'll plan on using the 22R and it's clutch in the '91. The only problem with the '85 is the rotten rear of the frame! Engine has had the front and rear seals replaced, a few months on the new clutch, and recently rebuilt transmission. The...

    22r into 22re?

    Hello, I have a 91 pickup, totally stock 22RE, no sure which transmission. The clutch really slips badly. My friend and I just picked up an '85 parts truck that has a nice purring 22R and new clutch, front and rear main seals, and rebuilt transmission. My question is, can the clutch from...

    Front Discs/MC problem

    Thanks for all your ideas guys! I got a booster from cruiserparts dot net and that totally fixed the problem. Well, at least now i have a nearly totally new brake system... Best regards, JR

    Front Discs/MC problem

    Fast Eddy, Thanks for the tips, I'll be sure to make sure the rears are adjusted, too. About the residual valve, yeah, my OEM master had that, i think. It was like you said, but had a tiny spring between the "discs." I must re-iterate, that the problem happened "out of the blue" one day...

    Front Discs/MC problem

    Update: The problem happened originally with my OEM master, and since then, I'm mostly sure it was never the master that caused the problem. Took off the master today and while it was off, started engine up and pressed brake pedal. Seemed to be okay on first pump, but got progressivly harder...

    Front Discs/MC problem

    Front Discs/MC problem

    wes1977, I have the 2 reservoirs, like my original was, too. Coolerman, I will try this out. i did not try yet because I never messed with it ever. Are these adjustements normally changing by themselves? I mean, why would these make my front brakes lock up all of a sudden, one day...
