    Name your favorite carb (4 barrel)

    Yes, BUT, you lose all the advantages of the dual plane design for two reasons: 1. The adapter is open plenum 2. In order to fit around the brake booster, you have to mount the carb sideways. I'm sure you could have an adapter machined up to fit without an open plenum, and mount a smaller brake...

    Name your favorite carb (4 barrel)

    You can't put a quadrajet on an Offy 4 barrel dual plane manifold. You need an Edelbrock 1403 or 1404, tuned down. Or find an old 400CFM Carter AFB, and rebuild it.

    Best oil weight to use...

    Brand is important, though. When I used to run pennzoil, I could smell that crap BURNING in my engine. Not ggod. Since the rebuild, I've run Mobil 1, 15-50 in the summer, 10-40 in the winter. Except that now I go to school where it's REALLY cold, I run 10-30 in the winter. But anywhere it...

    intake manifolds

    Won't fit without an adapter. Just put it on the stock manifold. The Offenhauser Dual-Port is for a square bore Carter AFB or Edelbrock Performer series carb. 500CFM is a bit large but can be tuned down. Oh, the manifold's 4 barrel, btw. Dual plane design, with seperate runners for the...

    Lockers

    I would say that you should just 'wheel what you've got for now. A 4 speed tranny would be a better upgrade for drivability's sake. Once you start encountering times when you need the lockers, get them.

    back spacing

    What are they rubbing on? I've got 3.75 right now, with quarter inch spacers up front...They're perfect for my stock sized winter tires, but 33x12.5's rub like mad, front and rear. And if not for those spacers, they'd be grinding down the brake calipers up front...

    Longfields & full time 4wd (premature wear)

    If you're getting another set of tires, I'm assuming you're getting another set of rims...In which case, just throw one set in the garage, and when you go 'wheeling, spend 20 minutes and just swap tires...

    Longfields & full time 4wd (premature wear)

    Why leave your hubs locked for so long? I've got a '40, and with a lockrite in the rear, I NEVER have to use 4wd on-road. I'm up in fairbanks, but from Eagle River... I know a lot of people do that, but there's no real point. With a locker, you have all the traction you need. Just run the Longs...

    shackle reversal questions

    Are those stock height springs, or lift?

    shackle reversal questions

    Could you get some more pics of what you did in the rear? I'm thinking about doing the same thing. Did the 60 springs give you any lift? Were they stock height, or lift springs? Did you have to use the spring hangers off a '60?

    body lift?

    Well, I just dropped my suspension down an inch (stupid extended shackles), and now I'm getting tire to fender contact...What timing to post up Roger's body lift link! I think I'm going to go with that. Besides, makes clearance for dual cases later :D

    Heater problems

    The stock heater is nowhere near large enough when it's below zero outside, sorry. No matter how sealed the cab is. When it did work (and I've rebuilt it...I'd be on my second rebuild, and parts are starting to snap off mine), I could cruise around in sandals...but full winter gear otherwise...

    Heater problems

    Where in Alaska? Fairbanks checking in here. My heater doesn't work, either. By next fall, I WILL have a vintage air air conditioning setup, along with one of the heep aftermarket heaters in the rear.

    Marlin 'Toy Box' Install in a 40

    I'm a college student. You'd be surprised how long I could hold my breath if it means I don't spend money :D

    Marlin 'Toy Box' Install in a 40

    Does anyone know if you can mate a Toybox up to the back of an H55F? That would be a sweet setup...Would have to move the rear axle back quite a bit, but it would definately be great for a daily driver. Edit: Also, with an H42...How much of a body lift is recommended, again? I seem to recall...

    Extended Shackles

    I just took mine off because I couldn't get the front end to flex with them on. Never realised just how much they kill your ride...If only my rear stock size shackles weren't bent, I'd have them taken off both ends, hopefully never to go back on again!

    Snorkel options need expert opinion

    1. There aren't enough total parts there. You'd be adding some more of your own hose. 2. Doesn't look like it will fit on a 2F intake. 3. Just buy the Safari, it's 275 from Cruiser Outfitters, and definately looks the best out of any system out there. As a side note, you probably don't need a...

    Mean Green Alternator

    Pimp, any chance you could post up the part numbers? That looks to be a really slick setup, not much more expensive than a marine switch, really, but I couldn't find all the parts on the site individually. All the stuff I saw looked like it was priced including the battery ::)

    Any one know were to get an offenhauser intake for a 1978 FJ40

    Well, if you want new, Clifford makes a reproduction of the C series manifold, which will fit either a square or spread bore, and is an open plenum design. I think it's $400, though. I got both of my dual ports on e-bay, though. Keep in mind that there's 2 different dual port manifolds: One to...

    69' Cruiser Parting out or in whole

    The front bib...Does it have the parking lights? If so, what condition is it in, ditto for the lights? Might be interested in the aprons, too, if they have the marker lights in front of the Toyota logos.
