    How much is a used steering box worth?

    My dad and I were cleaning under his house when I came across a steering box from his old 72 55. He wanted to throw it away and I told him that would be stupid. He said the box was still good before he did a saginaw conversion in 1980. How much do you guy's think its worth? I looked at SOR and...

    Can anyone tell me how much this 40 is worth?

    My uncle wants to sell his 1979 fj40 but isn't sure how much its worth. The cruiser was originally from Colorado but is now in La Quinta California. The cruiser doesnt run because something is wrong with the carb, has some rust on the driverside floorboard and quarter panels, needs new weather...

    The other day I bought a set of Hi-lift jack mounts to put on my Con-fer rack, the problem is I am in the process of completing the brackets to make them work with my rack and I am not sure where to mount it. I am thinking of putting the jack on the back of the rack but I was thinking that there...

    Shaking drivetrain at 45-55 mph

    Its been about seven months since I dropped a 6.2 diesel in my cruiser, and for the past month whenever I drive around 45-55 mph it seems that the whole drivetrain starts shaking like crazy. Its driving me nuts. I already took my driveshaft to be rebalanced, replaced my trans mount, and neither...

    Anybody knows how to fix threaded nut inside of the tailgate?

    A couple years ago I drove down to Baja for vacation, and when I got to my destination found that I only had one tailgate hanger attached. What happened was the threaded nut inside the tailgate fell off or out. So, for the past couple of years I've tried a bunch of cheesy quick fix ideas but...

    Whats a good price for a used steering box?

    I pretty sure my steering box is fryed, what would be a decent price for a used one? BTW, I've done the adjustment and I still have about 2" of play. Thanks in advance

    Anyone have pics of a custom fan shroud for a V8 conversion?

    Since I did my 6.2 diesel conversion I ve used an electric cooling fan, but I don't like the fact that the motor could possibly burn out and leave me stranded. Therefore, I bought and installed a flex fan. the only problem is that the stock shroud is not aligned with the fan. Does anyone...

    Diesel price in Mexico

    On my recent trip down to Baja, diesel was only $2.30 a gallon. That's $1.40 less than what I'm paying at home. Luckily I have a 42 gallon tank which I filled before entering the US. I think next time I'm going to bring some jerry cans or a 55 gal drum.:D

    My cruisers first trip to Baja as a diesel.

    Well I just got done with my 6.2 diesel conversion about 1200 miles ago in my 1985 fj60. Tommorow night I'm jamming down to central baja and I am a little worried to say the least. So far I've gone through a starter, fuel pump, and this morning on the way to the beach I fryed the fuse to my...

    1987 fj60 carb fit a 1982 fj40?

    There is a guy close to my house who is parting out a 1987 fj60 and I was wondering if the carb would fit my uncles 1982 fj40? He's also said that the carb had been rebuilt 5k miles ago and is selling it for $400, is that resonable? Thanks in advance for your responses.

    fj60 w/6.2 chevy diesel smokes a lot

    I began to think I was almost done with my 6.2 diesel conversion when I had the bright idea to change the IP. After replacing the IP with a remanufactured IP and aligning the timing marks, I have to crank the motor quite a bit to get it started. Then once it starts its kicks out a lot of...
