    what is this power steering and is it safe

    Almost looks like the Pitman arm was heated and bent? That alone is a good enough reason to get rid of it... I'm about to pull my stock steering box and assocaite gear to put in a 60 series power set-up if you are interested, if mine will fit...1980 BJ40....

    Troubleshooting brakes

    I did adjust them out...maybe not far enough? out till the pads just make contact then back two? or do you go out until it stops the wheel spinning, then back off? I did the adjustment, and the mushy pedal is still there...

    Troubleshooting brakes

    Great idea....tried it...it's the rears, one rubber line feeds both, when i clamped it i got a hard pedal about 1/2 way down, and stayed hard... now to look into them and see what's what...

    Troubleshooting brakes

    I have replaced the front calipers, rear drum cylinders were done last year... I bled the fronts, and the rears, but still can't get the pedal to harden up...if I pump the pedal hard and fast it firms up, and holds pressure about two inches from the floor, but if I release and come down again...

    axle won't go in issue....

    I couldn't engage the other hub (it's not there), but I engaged the pinion, then moved the other side's axle..and voila, it slid right in... feel like an idiot...but so relieved ... thanks!!

    wheel bearing nut torque...

    so the manual has you seat the bearing by going to 43 ft/lbs, rotating the hub, then backing off and re-tightenming to 5 ft/lbs. Then you check for 12 lbs of pull on a wheel stud to check the resistance...I'm getting about 4 lbs resistance...I checked my scale, it's ok, I assume the...

    axle won't go in issue....

    I had to replace a birf, as I slide the original axle with the replacement birf on it in, I can feel it engage on the splines in the diff, but it stops with about an inch to go? what gives?

    60 hubs ona 40 issue

    The rotors that I ordered locally, the only ones that came up for a 40...were the 60 type with 8 holes not 12...the hub I removed from the 40 was destroyed, hence the swap from the 60 donor... I ended up pulling the 2nd hub off the donor....all good now....

    60 hubs ona 40 issue

    ok, I took a hub from my 83 BJ60 parts truck, and plan on putting it on my 80 BJ40. I bought two new rotors. The 40 hubs use short wheel studs, and have 6 bolts holding the rotor to them. The 60 uses long studs, with two bolts holding the rotor to the hub, and the long studs going from...

    TOYO MT vs KM vs KM2

    So I went with the Toyos, I think I must have an issue with my alignment, I'm finding the truck wanders easily as compared to running it with the winter tires or the 33 X 9.5 X 15 BFG MTs... I see all the comments about road manners, I'm all over the place if I'm not constantly on it when...

    TOYO MT vs KM vs KM2

    I'm looking at 33 X 10.5 x 15s, my BFG 33 x 9.5s have had it... what say the masses about these three tires? I am looking for decent road manners, and off road capability..... or any other suggestions??

    New Windshield For My FJ40

    Just a guess, when a rock off the truck ahead of you hits single pane or tempered glass it will go right through it (as would your noggin going the other way, and you'd suffer major cuts as you went past the broken edge). Laminated glass goes into that spiderweb pattern, it breaks, but it's very...

    35s too tall?

    79 bj40, with 3B, H55 5 speed...I'm currently running 33X9.5 BFG MTs, but they are pooched, I am planning on putting power steering on this spring, and turboing the diesel, are 35X 12.5s too tall? Or go with 33 X 10.5s? What say the masses?
