Im look for a pair of FJ80 full float rear axle wheel hubs to convert a dually axle i have over to 6x5.5 pattern. Im about an hour west of Houston, but can travel if anyone has a pair.
Tanks.

Id like to find a set of the round red tail lights and brackets for my FJ40. If anyone has a nice used set, let me know. They do not have to be perfect, a little patina is preferred. My 40 isnt of restoration quality.
Im in the W/SW houston area, but will pay for shipping.
Id raise the lower axle mount to axle centerline or above. Your upper mount at the axle should be about 25% of your overall tire height. So if youre running a 36" tire, you need to have 9" of separation between the mounts. This is a general rule to be taken with a grain of salt. You will adjust...
The stock engine in my 74 FJ40 locked up a year ago. I have since replaced it with another engine and this one needs to go. Its locked up. No idea why. Was running perfectly, then locked up. Spun bearing maybe? Under the valve cover looks great. Never investigated further.
Parts replaced 3...
Thanks for the info. I’ll take a look at it and compare. I fixed the rear end and took it for another test drive. No more leaks. Fuel pump still dumb loud. Lol. Man thing is a blast.
Built a screamer pipe for the wastegate. Gave it a little peekaboo out the fender.
Do you have a part number for it? Is it an in-tank pump or external? The only reason i went with this one is beacuse i had it on the shelf. Even with it inside the tank is crazy loud at idle. I dont hear it as much when im driving it, but it defintely needs attention.
Had a friend come over saturday to learn me some Tig welding. I spent an hour or so watching him and preacticing on scrap aluminim intercooler piping. I was starting to get the hang of it, but didnt want to chance it, so i had him do it for me. Man did it come out amazing. My fit up was perfect...
Knocked a couple more items off the list last night since the Astros game got postponed in Philly due to a little drizzle. First was the rear exhaust hanger and then i tacked together a front driveshaft. I used a rear shaft from some toyota i had and grafted the slip portion from 40 on the end...
Went wheeling over the weekend but made it back early enough yesterday to put in a couple hours on Lucille. Mocked up the intercooler piping. My friend is going to swing by and show me how to weld aluminum. Ive never tig welded so i figured this would be a good way to learn.
I used an el...
Good news. New to me ECU fixed the issues my old one had. I can now connect to the OBD2 and read the codes, which there wasnt any. Time to finish the intercooler piping and give her all the boots.
Spent a couple hours more in the shop last night and knocked out the electric fan shroud for the radiator. It mounts to the core support in a few places on each side. I used the stop sign from the busy intersection by my house for the shroud. (kidding). It came out pretty good. Fan comes on with...
My new fuel sending unit came in from RCI. Its a universal one for one of their fuel cells. Its close in size and mounting pattern, but not excact. I had to re-drill the mounting pattern and get creative with the bending of the arm. Now i have a 0-90ohm sending unit that will work with my new...
