    help diagnosing hydraulic clutch system :'81 to '85 Land Cruiser FJ40 FJ45 FJ60 OE parts

    oh, nice! That sounds like a pretty simple fix. Thx pighead. I would spend more on a gauge and fittings to check pressure than that.

    help diagnosing hydraulic clutch system :'81 to '85 Land Cruiser FJ40 FJ45 FJ60 OE parts

    Thx charliemyer007. Hose is high quality coated stainless braid, DOT rated. Earls I think. What would one look for in a master that has failed, even if it were off the truck?

    help diagnosing hydraulic clutch system :'81 to '85 Land Cruiser FJ40 FJ45 FJ60 OE parts

    Hey all. I am trying to diagnose a clutch system that isn't pressurizing. This is a resto-mod scenario using OE equivalent 81-85 master and slave cylinder bought from reputable vendors. I have tried numerous bleed methods and attempts and am getting no pressure. Everything in the system is...

    Holley sniper return line question

    Bueno. Got it. Thx for the clarification Steamer.

    Holley sniper return line question

    Steamer, this is what I need to drill down on. Column inches is a concept that comes to mind. So in my case and for easy math, say my tank is 10" tall. The outlet port is somewhere around the 4-5" high range, but feeds to the bottom. So in my theoretical scenario, if I have a full tank (10"...

    Holley sniper return line question

    Sorry, I should have stated that- I already have an in-tank pump, made by Holley. It is technically a return-less model. I have had a few friends look at my set up and they've said it's better not to "dead-head" the fuel if at all possible. So I have been looking into that.

    Holley sniper return line question

    Has anyone run a Holley Sniper return line back through the OE gas outlet port on the side of an interior gas tank? I have a 68-72 tank on my 66 and it is brand new (thank you Toyota!). I am curious if the return line pressure (supposed to be 3-6#) will be enough to overcome the pressure of...

    Byron, I am curios if you have any part #'s for your Wilwoods. I recently got a set of '78 axles that I am in the process of refurbishing for my '66. The fronts have factory discs but the rears are what I'd like to source. Did you get them from Summit, and if so, what rotors did you use...

    FJ40 Head Light Upgrade - LED Bulbs

    I used Deutsch connectors. They do require a special set of crimpers. Good news it is a 4-way crimp which is super solid and they don't require soldering, so it actually saves time. You'll find yourself using them everywhere. PM me if you want a parts list, but I get all my wiring stuff from...

    Sorry: autocorrect - "airfields" supposed to be birfields.

    rear axle pumpkin drain plug protection

    I bought a '78 rolling chassis mainly for the front factory disc axle (and airfields). It was sold to me by an ex-cop that said it had never been registered as it was a farm truck. The mods to the frame would back this up- weird stick welded accessories, driving over rocks and such... I may...

    rear axle pumpkin drain plug protection

    Good call on differential armor. I think that's the win. Will redo that drain plug protection for sure tho.

    rear axle pumpkin drain plug protection

    So this is what I am talking about. Upon inspection and some wire wheeling, these gouges are more epic than at first glance. I don't think welding with bronze would be that feasible really. I mean it's doable, but would take days to fill in all these. You can see how messed up the drain plug...

    FREE  free drum brake backing plates and wheel cylinders

    I'm in the midst of a disc conversion and didn't know if anyone would want the old drum backing plates and cylinders. Happy to pack them up and ship them. You pay shipping. Can text photos if you like. All parts are accounted for. Axle is a 78. Hate to junk them if someone can use them...

    rear axle pumpkin drain plug protection

    Thx y'all. So far so good. No big hiccups. I have the axle all apart, so the oil is not a factor. GOOD call on loosening the bolts up beforehand. Would not have thought of that. Metal gets weird sometimes. Hex bolts are a good idea as well. My powder coat dude says that JB weld actually...

    rear axle pumpkin drain plug protection

    Regarding the bottom of the pumpkin, has anyone had to cut off the protector tube nub surrounding the drain plug and replace?? I am rebuilding some axles and it is FUBAR'd. I can weld a nut to the existing drain plug and get that out no problem. I can also measure the existing one on the...

    For Sale Super Winch - Fine Spline (30) Locking Hubs - San Diego

    Thanks Mark. I guess I thought I had "ball and claw" style axles for my '66, and not birfields? You are correct, it is a MAF conversion. Good idea on the 5 minute disassembly. Sometimes I get ahead of myself...

    For Sale Super Winch - Fine Spline (30) Locking Hubs - San Diego

    bmoonhajjar, I'm interested in your super winch hubs. I have them on my 66 and may just buy them for spare parts. I don't know anything about that part assembly so I am curious about the 30 (fine) spline part. I have the Chassis & Body manual and it doesn't cover locking hubs. Mine is...
