    Fj55 parts

    Hi all, it's been a while since my 40 got totaled by some kid in a Porsche, but I'm back and looking at getting a 55, since I have two kids now...:-). My big question is how available parts are (specifically weatherstripping) for the 55? I noticed sor has discontinued most 55 parts and I'm a...

    FJ40 bench, skid plate, step, spare tire carrier Reseda

    HI everybody....My FJ was totalled by some stupid kid a couple years ago and I guess it's time to let go of the few remaining parts I've collected.. I won't be shipping anything, so SoCal locals would be great! Thanks! Please let me know if I'm offensive with prices, I feel like it's all...

    Took a leaf out!!

    Wow....I have a year and a half old Safari 2 1/2" lift and the rear end will not settle, at all..and it's f'n stiff. I finally had time to remove a leaf from the rears and DAMN what a difference! It settled a teenie tiny bit and actually started to give me a slight shackle angle and the drive...

    No 4 wheel drive?

    I did the switch to 60 series front discs on my 74' 40 around a year ago and, embarrassingly enough, haven't been off roading till recently. When I locked the hubs and headed off, I didn't have 4 wheel drive!? I locked the hubs and could still spin the front shaft, so it seems obvious that...

    T-case shifter removal?

    My TC shifter rattle is annoying me enough that I'm ready to do something about it. My question is, can I unbolt the whole linkage assembly and still drive the truck or will it pop out of H2? My problem is that she's my DD and I can't risk taking it apart and not being able to drive! Thanks...

    Which leaf to remove?

    I have a 2.5" Safari set of springs on my 12/74' 40 and have put about 2000 miles or more on them and they haven't settled a bit. I'm wondering about removing a leaf from the spring packs. I don't carry much weight and have the hard top on. BTW, I drove around for a couple months with 500lbs...

    Wanted  3.73 in Exchange for my 4.11s?

    I've had to turn my 40 into more of a daily driver. I need to get her a little more highway friendly or I'll have to let her go. I'd like to put 3.73s in place of the 4.11s....if anybody wants to swap or something, I'd be willing to talk. I'm in SoCal (Encino) Thanks. Stephen P.S. Please...

    Safari 2.5" lift..need shims?!

    I installed a 2.5" Safari lift on my 74' 40 about a month ago and the springs in the front haven't settled at all. I've been driving around with 300lbs of sandbags in the back and they're starting to settle a bit.....although I've inverted a shackle twice. My question is, my steering feels a...

    Vintage air install questions

    Okay, I bought the vintage air system for my 74' 40.....really nice unit, but, since my truck is the transition year, I'm having a few fitment issues. I've included some pics to show my concerns. 1st off: I had to use the outer pulleys on my water pump and crank, since the compressor sits a bit...

    Wanted  Disc brakes for my 74' 40

    I'd like to find later model LC front discs for my 74' 40. I'm in SoCal. Please email me directly, as I probably won't have time to check this thread. Thank you! Stephen szimpel@mac.com

    My New Spring Inverted!!

    I just put on my 2.5" lift from Man a Fre....the Safari one. The ride is great, but the springs (especially the rears leave my shackles either vertical or close to it. Today I hit a large dip in the road and my right rear spring inverted the shackle! Very frustrating.. I'm using my stock...

    4...31x9.50 SS TSL's

    I'm looking at getting rid of my Super Swamper TSLs, as I never drive off road. They have about 3 or 4k miles on them and the front two have cupping due to previous suspension issues. The treads are great otherwise. I'd like $200 for them and if you could pick up, it would be better. Thanks...

    31x10.50's with a 2.5" lift?

    I'm looking at the OME lift for my 74' 40 and wonder if 31x10.50's would look good or not. I'm not into a big lift and tires, I just want to fix the 'old spring sag' and still be able to get into parking garages..(I live in LA). I just want to make sure that the tires won't look...

    Stock bushings with lift?

    I just replaced my bushings, etc..., recently and was wondering if there is an inexpensive 2" lift that I could still use my stock bushings/shackles with? I want to run BFG 33x10.50s on my stock steelies. Something tells me there isn't, but I thought I'd check with you guys. Also, I don't really...

    Slipping Clutch Question...Help!

    Okay...my clutch has definitely started slipping, but my question is: could that literally start happening from driving perfectly one second to parking and getting in an hour later and the pedal feel is completely different and the clutch is slipping!? Seems like it would be a tiny bit more...

    Sudden change in clutch pedal feel

    I replaced my clutch master/slave months ago and it's been great. Yesterday, I drove to the mall and when I left, the clutch pedal had some sponginess to it. It engaged a little vaguely, as well, and maybe even felt like there was a slight slip...but that could have been due to the pedal feel...

    A little sputter at idle

    On my stock 74' with a vac adv. dist., I've got a bit of a sputtering/slight gurgling sounds from the tailpipe at idle (uneven sound from the tailpipe). Under the hood, she sounds nice and idles at 650 or so and drives nice, too. My question is, what should I look into to tune out this...

    Carb piece missing?

    I'm hoping someone can tell me what this little aluminum plunger, spring and check ball do? There's no part number for it, but it's just below and to the right of #85. My carb doesn't have the spring anymore and can't figure out what to do? Mine's a 74' cali truck. Thanks!

    Another trailer question

    I'm thinking of maybe using my FJ with a work trailer (an enclosed 6x12?) and wondered if that kind of use would be too much for it on a daily basis? I'm a woodworker and would use it for hauling tools and projects to job sites. I guess I'm just looking for some of the 'cons' to this set...

    Is this enough showing?

    I'm in the middle of doing my knuckles and have gotten the first one back together. Is the spindle/hub on there far enough? It wouldn't go on anymore, and it looks fully seated.....also, I don't have the other wheel apart yet to reference. I'm just getting paranoid.....and covered in grease...
