My wife and I are headed to Hot Springs this summer and want to find out where we might be able to hit some trails. We have spent most of our FJ40 time in Ouray, CO or Moab, UT. Looking to expand our horizons slowly towards the east coast.
Any idea? has anybody heard of this place...
My Dad has a 2008 Jeep JK with a 5.3L LS transplant. The electric fan isn't cycling anymore. I am trying to work backwards from the fan, which I have verified works. The next thing online is this little green coated cylinder. The core looks to be ceramic. What is its function?

All,
I recently rebuilt the brake assembly on my 8274, and re-installed it into the lower housing. Evertyhting fits properly. Everything spins smoothly with and effort I would expect given the gear ratios involved.
My question is this. Should I hear the ball bearings in the brake assembly...
This thing has been in my garage long enough. I have an OEM tire carrier from a 1/'79 FJ40. I am not even sure what it is worth. Maybe 80 bucks?
I don't want to put it up on craigslist because I will get a bunch of yahoos calling to ask if it fits on a jeep. I think shipping prices will...
Hey all,
I have a 1/79 FJ40. I am replacing the parking brake cable with a new OEM cable. When I was doing the disassembly for the replacement i noticed two slightly disturbing things:
1. The threads for the backing plate bolts were VERY lubricated.
2. The were LOOSE.
I remember...
I am looking for a fully in tact plastic heater duct for a 1//1979 FJ40. The one I have is cracked in several places that would be visible when installed. $OR does not have them, and they seem to be pretty scarce on eBay.

I work over in Bedford and I was looking out my office window. I spotted a red FJ40, (looked to be like a 76, mostly stock) with hardtop rolling westbound on Hwy 183 at about 1:45pm on 01/05/2011. Who was it? First time I had seen that rig in the area....

Okay,
So first let me say that without the collective help and knowledge of this forum, what I was able to do would not have been possible. So Thanks to everyone.

Take a look at...

Problem: Brakes.
Symptoms: Intermittent Brake Booster Operation. At low speed, mostly third gear stuff around town - my booster seems to provide a "power brakes"...
Hi all,
Does anybody have any pics of a Lokar pedal assembly hooking up to a SBC? I have a stock Brake Booster, and when I locate the Lokar using the adpater braket that I got from Marlin Crawlers, it appears that the penetration through the firewall will be too close to the OEM brake...
Well,
After not making much progress on my pig in the past few weeks (holidays), I finally got out into the garage yesterday and got my aftermarket 2lb residual valve and proportioning valve installed. I saw several clean ideas here on Mud, but most involved cutting and modification to the...
