Anybody have input on new weatherstrip for the doors, and windows? I have checked out CCOT and Cruiser corps. Just wondering if anybody has any feedback on which and where to go? Thanks a ton.
Looks like I may need to adjust the pedal side. I have temporarily placed washers as spacers to put the master a bit farther away from the booster to keep the brakes from locking up. I am wondering if there are any tricks to adjusting the brake side to shorten the booster rod a bit? Thanks for...
John indicated I had to turn the rod from booster to master a quarter turn to shorten it a bit. Seems like a simple adjustment. I did not adjust the pedal height at all
Just finished the drum to disc conversion with the JT Outfitters kit. Kit was awesome, everything fit great. After talking to John at JT, he was saying the rod in the new master cylinder starts touching the brake booster... as everything heats up it expands.
My 1974 FJ40 oil gauge is not working. Not sure about the steps to troubleshoot this one!? Also the battery gauge jumps quite a bit swinging back and forth as well. Just curious about any thoughts on these issues? Thanks
I've had a few batteries end up dead after leaving the FJ over a week. Does anybody have any ideas how to diagnose the draw? In the meantime, I'm planning to connect a few battery disconnect caps. This way I can easily disconnect the battery.
Wow! That thing is awesome! Great work on the fab!
don’t have any other details on my set up... unfortunately. It was a retired officer who had it originally and modified. He passed and I picked the rig up from the Grandson.
Wish I could have talked with the officer awhile!
Hi everyone! Wondering about an issue I have with the spare tire! After upgrading to larger tires, the spare rubs against the back of the cruiser when it is locked in place. Are there any adapters or extenders to put the tire a few more inches away from the back?
Finally got the new cappiece...
Turned out great! Went with Cygnus White for he top and the bezel! So stoked how it turned out. Just waiting for a can of spray adhesive for the headliner and I can bolt this thing in and move on to the next project on the rig!
I just finished riveting my new cap piece to the original rain gutter. I would like to have it painted the original OEM color. I think the color matches the front bezel? Anybody know the color code so I can get that to the painter!!
Can't wait to post pics, it's comin out pretty nice! thanks...
So I just placed my magnetic angle finder on the castor and it came out to somewhere between 3-4 degrees. Based on this, any thoughts as to the specific shims I would need for this?
