I have just completed my latest trailer project. I tend to like the late 40's style trailers. This one is a 1948 Ben Hur utility trailer model 22-47. These were made in Milwaukee and are very similar to the same vintage David Bradley trailer and others sold by Sears.
I picked this up at an...
Somebody go get this before I convince myself I need another trailer.

Vintage David Bradley Utilty Trailer, Great for Jeeps or Farm - $150 (Mukwonago)
These are nice old trailers with a lot of potential.
80 series Front Mud flaps
I have a new set of front mud flaps for an 80 series. Still in the toyota bags. I picked them up a while ago but never used them. I have sold the 80 and these are sitting on the shelf. The contour of the flares was slightly different on my 97 Collectors edition than...
Does anyone know anyone traveling between the gulf coast and WI? I found a tub in MS that I really want to get back home to Madison.
I am willing to pay for it but the couple truck lines that I contacted said they wanted it crated. That will end up adding another $500 to my costs. Hmmm...
I am working on a deal for a tub and fenders and need to find a way to get it home to Wisconsin. Anyone going in this direction with space to help me out?
Again from Canton, Mississippi to Madison Wisconsin for a FJ40 tub and Fenders.
Thanks

What would cause my timing not to "hold"? Each time I get into the truck and start it, it runs a bit differently. I check the timing and it has changed. The hold down clamp is tight so the distributor isn't moving.
So far, while working on tuning my 69 Fj40 and I have replaced the points...

I found an 83 60 that is tempting. The motor will need work but it will run and move under it's own power. (Blowing smoke & Fouling plugs) The body (brown) is halfway decent, just a few spots of surface rust. The interior is halfway decent minus the radio and something else in the dash is...
Does anyone local have a set of 4 spare 16" Mud terrain tires available? I just picked up a very LOW BUDGET 4runner project and I am looking for some shoes for it. I have 16" Rims and I could probably go with anything in a 245, 265 or maybe even a 285 width. Let me know what you may have and...
I saw this on the Madison WI craigslist. No Affiliation, just thought Id pass them on.
I am assuming that they are FJ62's

If anyone has been following the other thread you may remenber a cruiser head get together near Madison the weekend of August 12-13.
I live about 17 miles south of Madison near Belleville and I will welcome anyone that is interested in coming. I have room if...
I have had my 97 CE for about a year and a half. I have not been experiencing any issues with it (except for the poor gas milage of 11.5mpg or so).
One thing that I had noticed but never registered was that I had never seen a check engine light. Now I may be wrong but doesn't the light...
I am in need of a 4.10 ring and pinion for a 4 cyl mini rear diff. I removed my rear end and found mine to be toasted. If you have something that you can spare let me know! Thanks!
I was all excited to finally see the FJ at the Madison auto show this weekend. I had a buddy of mine from the local dealer get me a ticket and he reassured me that the truck would be there. I have really wanted to see the FJ in person before I made up my mind if I liked it or not.
When I...
I was on my way home from a week long vacation on Sunday, about 6 miles from home, when a guy in a S-10 decided he wanted to blow a stop sign and turn in front of me. I had the right of way (no stop) and he claimed he didn't see me in the 80 with a 19.5 boat in tow.
Well it really doesn't...
I am thinking of doing an engine swap this weekend in my 1969 Fj40 beast. It currently has a SBC 400 in it from a 78 pickup (I believe...PO) It is really smoking and pouring oil out the exhaust so I think I might just swap it out. I have a SBC from a 1987 Suburban that only has a couple...
Since I have picked up the 97 80 series I had agreed with the wife to sell our Chevy pickup. If anyone is interested here are the details:
1993 Chevy K2500 4X4 Extended cab pickup. It is a 3/4 ton with a 350 in it. It has 6 bolt rims with 285/75 R16 tires and a 14 bolt rear end with 3.73...
I just ordered out a double din nav unit for my new 80. Has anyone installed one of these in their rig? The one I ordered is the ECLIPSE AVN2454. I am excited to see this thing, but it will take a day or two to get here. I would like to see any photos of it in the dash if anyone has some...
I am planning on adding a lift and tires to my newly acquired FZJ80. I have been looking at this board and comparing everyones comments on which way to go. I think I will just end up with the OME 851/860 Combo and going with a set of the 285/75R16 Destination M/Ts.
I really wanted to see...
My wifes Isuzu Rodeo has finally called it quits. We have started looking at new vehicles for me...er...her. I think I have narrowed it down to two choices.
Choice #1
2001 Toyota Tundra limited 4x4 TRD, Access cab, with about 100K on the clock. It is a nice looking truck and has the v8...
