    Finally back on the road/trail after 5 years...

    Started with a blue 76 that was in "ok" shape. Like a lot of people here I started out intending to make a few minor mods and get it on the trail. I soon fell victim to the "while I'm in there I may as well replace..." FIVE years later and after a lot of doubts, frustration and work it...

    What options for 36" wide bench seat?

    I've got 36" between the rear fender wells. I can't mount a seat on top of the fender wells (too high) so I have to go between. Are there any automotive seats that will fit that space? I can't find the specs on the Samari bench seats. Corbeau makes a 36" wide bench seat but I would like...

    Seatbelt and harness restraints

    Finishing up the roll cage in the 40 (76') and I need a harness system. I'm thinking of using a 4 point restraint for the following reason. I suspect I would use primarily the lap belt portion on the trail so I can still lean around inside the truck to see. I don't think lap belts only...

    Yellowstone Camping

    Thinking of camping a few days in Yellowstone end of September. I haven't been there since I was 3. Any recommendations on which campground to stay in? We'd prefer one with showers. Wife is not impressed with cold weather camping but we know anything could happen with weather that time of...

    Any fellow mudders going to Iowa last week in July for this ride? Wife and I are going with a group of friends. Just got my IH8MUD jersey and I wondered if I might see a few more in Iowa! Kent

    Brake Master hookup

    Picked up a new master from Napa (93-95 4runner non ABS P2401) and it fits perfectly but I'm not sure how to hook up the brake lights. I suspect the two fittings under the original are pressure sensors that activate the brake lights(?) The new master has a small bolt on the under side that I...

    Transfer case seals

    I'm in there so I may as well replace the seal. I replaced the rear output seal and thought I should change the front too. Does anyone know where to get it? I don't remember where I got the front (maybe SOR) but there has to be another option. Do I have to remove the shaft to get the...

    Transmission Bearing question

    So I'm pulling my toybox off as it is leaking :mad: and I notice that this snap ring just pops off. I studied pics from toybox install instructions and it looks like it goes around the output shaft bearing. It looks to me like it fits in the groove BEHIND the bearing to keep it from...

    Weeping H20 pump

    H20 pump is spitting out coolant from this little hole on the underside. Did I not seal something correctly when reassembling it or is this a sign of failure?

    Timing before checking valves?

    Does it matter if my timing has not been dialed in perfect before I check valve clearances? I suspect it makes no difference but would like confirmation of this. Thanks

    Dizzy install from "scratch" (FJ60 big cap)

    As most of you probably know from my recent threads the cruiser is going back together and getting it running is the current goal. I've been searching, reading and pleading for help from you lately and thanks to mud I think I understand the procedure. Lots of good advice on here but some...

    Is this coolant T stock?

    Replaced the coolant hoses (76 2F) and the one I purchased at Napa fits this coolant T but is too large for the lower radiator fitting. It also fits the water pump. The coolant hose measures about 1/4" larger ID than the radiator fitting does. The top radiator hose fits fine and is...

    Do I really need this?

    I've been reading the desmog threads and trying to figure out what is not needed. Most of them are about the under hood gizmos. I noticed a thread recently that seemed to indicate the black emission box near the driver kick panel is not needed. Can I omit it from my 76 2F? If so what is...

    Factory Primer?

    I used chemical stripper to remove a couple layers of paint from fenders and bib. I was expecting to see shiny metal or at least kind of shiny metal. I used the stripper, plastic putty knife and a pressure washer. It was pretty easy to get the paint off but there is what looks like a gray...

    Yours for shipping (lights FJ 40)

    Hate to throw these away if someone wants them. The rear housing is really rough but the lenses are "ok". These are not restoration quality. The blinker is in pretty good shape. I only have the one as the other blinker is broken in several spots (lens and housing). The rear housing...

    Ford shock tower location

    So what is the best location for these towers? Is there a method for determining where they should be placed? Does it matter? I don't have shocks yet. Do I want to go as high as I can to allow for a longer travel shock? I am sprung over in the front. This seems like the strongest...
