    Fabricated 2H/12HT Engine Mounts

    Hey Everyone- I am in the final stages of getting everything needed for a 2H swap into my 40 series. One of the final pieces of the puzzle was engine mounts. My engine came from a 60 series and without knowing better didn't think much of it, though digging around here should have made that...

    For Sale  Early H55F - NorCal

    I am selling my h55f trans project. This trans came from a complete drive train I purchased from an HJ60 out of Australia. The PO was not sure about total mileage but it was pulled from a running/driving truck, I would assume 200k miles? I bought this to do a swap for my 40 series but don't have...

    2H/12HT Engine mount ID

    I have 2 sets of 2H engine mounts. I set was mounted on the 2H I bought which came out of a 60 series. I have another set which I was told came out of an HJ47. Since I will be putting the 2H into a 40 series I needed the HJ47 mounts. Looking at both the 60 and 40 series mounts side by side I am...

    Aus 5spd/split case rebuild+upgrades

    Last spring I bought a 2H drivetrain from and Australian HJ60 with the intention of swapping it all over to my 40 series. I am just now getting around to tearing it all apart and decided I would make a thread on the rebuild process. The plan for the t-case is to convert to manual shift and put...

    79 Fried Igniter

    While trying to track down my lack of spark and the POs rat nest of wiring im pretty sure I fried the igniter assembly. I followed input on other threads from @Pin_Head and @FJ40Jim in terms of systematically isolating bad components. Plugs - no spark Dizzy - no spark coil would arc when +/-...

    Front bumper ideas/ lift ID

    As part of going through my new to me 40 I am looking into redoing the suspension/steering. Can any of you figure out what the PO had installed based on the pictures? I know its in rough shape but any guidance on even the amount of lift would be great. Are these shackles custom? or are they part...

    Getting year from VIN

    Can anyone help decode this VIN? I have used the resource for decoding 40 series VINs but I could not find similar info for the 60 series. PO has limited info on it and I am curious on when the mfg date was.

    New 79 40 owner

    After lots of lurking on this forum I finally decided I needed another project. I spent a decent amount of time trying to calibrate myself to the fj community in terms of relative costs and value of trucks in different stages of completion. I wanted something which was CA smog exempt however...
