I wish I knew better. There is a lot of wheel information here, perhaps it will help.

Hi, yes I pulled from my FJ40. It all ran fine with zero issues. I just decided to tear mine down to the frame and was going with a Cummins diesel.
I purchased my FJ40 about a 1 1/2 years ago. Since then I only put approx. 50 miles on it. The previous owner shared that the engine was pulled...
1976 4sp transfer case with Marlin Crawler gears (I believe). It is mounted to a GM NV4500 via Advanced Adapter, all behind a tbi 350. All for sale
- 1976 4sp transfer case $1400
- GM NV4500 $1500
- TBI 350 out of a 1997 Caprice (97k miles when pulled). Best guess is approx 130k on it now. Ran...
You can get a Cummins R2.8 directly from Cummins.
I would definitely research the 2.8 LWN. I really wanted to use one, as they sound great and support is plentyful; however, I read a lot about issues with that motor. Look on 2.8L Duramax forums on FB.
Well, I made my decision and went with Rock & Road Performance out of Loomis, CA. They are next to Ruff Stuff and are building a set of axles with Ruff Stuff housings. They are very responsive so far and extremely helpful. To many questionable experiences and my own limited experience with...
Hey, getting ready to place a substantial order fir my 76' FJ40 build and was looking for vendor recommendations and hopefully a good deal to be had. I am looking to purchase a Tremec TR4050, an Atlas 2sp, Method Racing wheels and Nitto, BFG or Micky Thompson tires. Any suggestions? I can get...
Okay, thanks. Any issues with narrowing 80 axles? I was planning on going 3" wider front and rear. Thought was to gain a bit more wide stance stability without tires sticking way out.
Just out of curiosity, why the Hellfires over the Front Range Fabs? Based on my rough communication with them (reason for this post), I'm happy to support someone else, but just curious.
Thanks.
Thanks for that info. as well! I do have a local guy selling a set of FZJ80 axles with ARB lockers asking $2,300. I was thinking that route to start, but then got caught up with Diamond.
I very much considered the Duramax 2.8L, but there are lots of examples of short life engine failure (holes burnt in pistons, etc.). There is virtually no support for the 3.0l as of yet and the timing chain is at the rear of the engine (if I'm not getting my engines mixed). The Crysler 3.0 was...
Cool, appreciate the feedback. I've got acquaintances with differing opinion, so I'll let you know. The crate is sitting in my shop now. I don't discredit your friends experience, but if it was such a piece of s***, I doubt Torfab, Profitts, etc. would be using them in their builds.
I haven't...
