Hello Mudders,
have a 78 40 thats been an on again off again project (Mostly off) for nearly 20 years.
My son is getting old enough to enjoy adventures with Dad so we have set our sights on the Rubicon next July.
The 40 as it sits now has:
Box Stock 2F/H42
3.73 (Yes 3.73) gears with ARB’s...
Mudders,
Just pulled the non functional alternator off my 2006 Hundy assuming is was time for brushes. (120K miles, original part)
The question I have is in the armature area of the alternator.
The brush assembly would not lift off because the lower brush was riding in a fairly deep groove...
Yes this is another suspension thread...
Have an ‘06 Hundy that was ”Retired” from daily driver status two years ago. The retirement was forced as my wife bought us a Raptor after listening to me whine about them for 10 years. Cant say enough good things about the Raptor, absolutely love the...
Hello Mudders,
The steering wheel pulse under brakeing says its time to do brakes on Attila (my 06 Hundy).
I have done a bit of research on the net and of course on this forum and can't come up with a clear direction.
Options on the table are:
The Brembo upgrade. 405mm rotors, 6 Pot...
I would like an ARB on the front of my Hundy but do not need (or want) a winch or driving lights. Is a non winch bar made for the Hundred?
Cheers
Chris
Looking for a trailer hitch for a hundy...
I have seen the ones for sale here on the board but shipping is more than the hitch.
Anybody in the Portland area have a hitch?
Cheers

Hello Mudders,
A few questions about the FJ60 Power Steering Upgrade.
The truck: A low millage stock 1978 FJ40, 33-9.50 BFG's. It was stolen/wrecked/stripped in its previous life and put back together with a drum brake front end...
Leaning towards the FJ60 Power steering box (mounted...
Putting my 40 back together and would like to do the paint work on a better door than I currently have. My passenger door is decent but the drivers will need a bit more work than I feel like doing... Also need a set of headrests and one jumpseat.
Thanks
Chris
Mudders,
I need some pricing help. Life changes have made me evaluate how my time is spent and the conclusion is I will probably never get to my 1978 FJ40 restoration project. The 40 in my garage is fairly unique in the fact that it has (so I was told… and believe based on how it...
Mudders,
I have a 96 FZJ80
Was trailering my boat from Portland to lake Shasta and the towing performance started to go from slow to slower on the hills... Didn't think much of it at the time it is HOT, smokey and I was failry well loaded. (Not me the Cruiser...)
Anyway Down around...
Mudders,
The "free to me" Warn M12000 I have been borrowing for the last 2 years is going back to its rigthful owner. Leaving me winchless but with a winch style ARB.
I can't say there isn't a mark on this bumper but I didn't notice one the last time I washed it. Has the Slee a/c drier...
I recently had a winshield replaced under insurance and specified an OEM Toyota windshield. The shop did not follow my wishes and installed what they claim is a high quality substitiute.
My question, is OEM replacement glass through the dealer actually a Japanese made true OEM glass as...
Was just driving down the freeway and had something pepper my 80. Put a good size bulseye in the winshield and managed to bounce off my rocket box and shatter the sunroof.
I am assuming all years are the same... Anybody have or know of a sunroof panel ?
I have a chance to purchase a pretty clean (no rust at all but could use paint) Aussie import HJ45 Troopy. The motor is a bit weak but overall the Cruiser is nicer than most I have seen. I like that body style a ton and would probably resto-mod with an eye towards re-sale.
Whats the going...
Didn't think this needed to be in classifieds... Mods correct me if wrong.
Stopped by my cruiser mechanics shop this morning and he has a 1975 Piggy sitting there with a swapped in 2H, (4 spd, fairy overdrive). The swap was done years ago with all factory parts from Japan. The truck has...
Time to simplify my life a bit...
78 FJ40, stock, smurf blue.
Rear sill and doors have less than the usual rust. Tub was undercoated from new and is solid. Frame and axles still have the factory paint. Never modified in any way. Worst part is some shoddy accident repair early in its...
