    fj40 weather cover

    Anyone making a quick cover for fj40's? I seem to recall that subject but what ever came of it? I leave my truck on the trailer each evening and the tarp deal pretty much bites. I don't think I've ever rigged it the same twice, and its usually malfunctioned by morning. Dale in PA

    Orion T-case, are the bugs out?

    Due to the postings here, I've had no problems! Was getting ready to plug mine in when the "jump outta low" surfaced. Ran the detent ball down to bottom and backed it off just enough turns to allow shifting again. Coupler collar was in nice shape too. The leaking o-rings posts showed up by...

    Alternator Relocation Problem

    My 55 used what could only be described as a "short shaft" water pump. Yours may have been replaced with one of them??? But your water pump pulley and cranshaft pulley were in alignment...so that doesn't make sense. So much for Wild guess #984

    tire repair kit

    I have no idea what comprises a "good" repair kit. Looks like Marlin has one. In my little group we have Boggers to Goodyear MTR's. One of us (me) should have a repair kit! Thanks!

    Need some advice on Pinion Depth, and Lash

    Tip of the hat to Pin Head. I recently changed over to an ARB from a lock rite. A lot of your explantions to others gave me the confidence to do it myself. The factory book along with Pin Heads pointers is a hard to beat combination! Thank You. Dale in PA

    Holley Fuel Injection

    Try a call to Turbo City-their system is on my 2F-modified from a jeep kit of course. Victor at Turbo City was not bashful about tweaking their kit to fit a cruiser. V6 Pontiac distributor with the shaft of a cruiser so the dist can be controlled by the system and still have the proper...

    4 speed transmission to 3 spd transfer

    When bolting a "3speed" transfer to a 4 speed tranny use the bolts that secured the 4 speed transer to the 4 speed tranny.

    Need help with FJ40 Front axle

    tpi4x4 from Tenn. will tailor his kits for you. Arb locker (on sale at tpi next week) longfields for birfields. Aisin hubs. Later version knuckles (79-85 toyota truck) or from fj60's are a bit of an upgrade for a 78 too.

    H41 into 83 fj40

    Happy with mine in my 74 '40. It's gone from stock "4 spd transfer" to "3speed" and now to an Orion.

    update the pia pilot bearing

    For a stock 2F/4 speed setup I've always used a thin film of anti-seize in the seat before pressing the pilot bearing in. Just figured if I needed it replaced, it would be a bit easier to remove.

    1994 FJ80 front speaker replacement.

    Front door speakers in my 94 were shot-no stereo shops around here could come up with anything that would work-ordered a set from the Toyota dealer and had them in 2 days. Toyota will also ship your factory system to a repair center, give you an estimate before they repair and get it back to...

    Very slow leak from the Orion, anyone???

    Nothing yet on #134. Came with the center assembled. Using plain old 80/90 exxon juice.

    I might have killed my Orion

    Just looking at your 465 write-up its obvious that you are pretty meticulous, but I'll ask anyhow. Did you wash down the inside before assembly? Mine was pretty filthy with "machine shop dust".

    orion pre-load

    spring scale and inch pounds With AA making a big boo boo in their first issue instructions (ft. lbs instead of inch lbs.) I was a bit spooked on the pre load. Since I didn't have an inch pound torque wrench, and couldn't come up with one in timely fashion, I followed the Toyota service...
