Well after looking at my options, I feel I am only left to this. I am going back to school in the fall, and will no long be able to afford to so many toys. Education comes before the toys in my house so here are the specs

GM 350 that has been stroked
GM SM 420
Toyota 3 speed T-Case...
1. What common problems do IFS rigs have a
2. How much difference is changing a CV than birf

4. What is normal wear and tear for a IFS ie Wheel bearings, seals and what not
5. What are some no...
I don't know to much about these. I have tried to contact the company.... No joy there
I know that proffitts sells the centered diff axles, but if I don't have to go that route it would be nice.
So I will be coming home early April and want to have a wrench party.... Wrench on something other than a Humvee. I am thinkin the 3 weekend in April. I purchased a new toy and am dieing to try it out. I could definitely use some help sucking down a keg or two. It's going to be on the north west...
FEELER Built Trailer 4 Sale (SOLD)
I bought a packaged deal in January of this year, my 4 Runner and the 06 Sherpa Outlander. After much thought I think I am going to part ways with the trailer (No room were I am being stationed) I am going to put it up on Mud for a few days see what happens...
Hey guys I am coming home next month and should be back in Texas the first week of April.... I got to get back in the drivers seat and tear something up (or just go camping) If anyone has plans let me know I am eager to see how the 4Runner handles the trails. I want to plan a trip out to big...
I want to buy some new seats for the 40. I was looking at the Corbeau Baja only thing is if you look at the brackets the oldest 40 they show is 70-8/73. How much difference is there from those years and a 69 Corbeau Master Bracket Guide
So I just got a Overland Sherpa Trailer and I want to hook up a propane system and 12V & 120V system. Need Ideas!!! I am new to the trailer seen so I would like to see any mods you have done to your trailers.
So here I am again.... day dreaming. Most of you all have seen the 40. It is in emasculate shape. the body is flawless and it has no major issues. On the flip side it is not stock at all. I need a toy for the rocks and I am contemplating building the 40 as a rock crawler instead of a Pavement...
I have seen these before. I just can't seem to find them... it looks like a little knob instead of a bolt. So you can quickly fold the front windshield down. Thank you JonnY
Has anybody done this... Is it even possible (is it cost effective) I know of a junk yard up in BC Canada that has a butt load of old surfs. What kind of mods would I be looking at. Thanks JonnY

Has anyone seen one of these systems I remember reading a mag that had one. Didn't state a price or where to purchase one from I thought it would be kind of nice to be out away from work a extra couple of days.... you could work from the field Very Nice!
Where do you keep your propane tanks
I just purchased a Sherpa trailer and I am trying to decide were to run the propane tank or tanks if possible. would like to see some pics on were you all hide these eye sores. Thanks Jonny
So I am in the process of buying a 92 4Runner, and I have always like the dash mounted inclinometers they used to come with. I have search the internet high and low and can't find any. I am pretty sure the ones made for the Surf would fit, but can anyone verify that for me. Any other info...
Well after some deep thought I am thinking about letting the 40 go. I don't have time anymore to really use it, and with the price of gas climbing, 6mpg is not cutting it for a DD. I am going to post it up on MUD while I am in Iraq. If anyone is interested or wants to see it. It will be up at my...
I found this on Craigslist yesterday. I have talked to the guy it was built by a local high school shop team as there final project. He knows nothing about 40s so what I have come up with is. It has a Chevy 350, SM420 Stock T case the paint was sprayed over the original so it looks good from a...
Well my reenlistment went through and now I can play around with the 40. I want to replace the motor with something that gets more than 6 MPG and a tranny with more than 4 gears. Does anybody know of a good shop that works on modified Land Cruisers around San Antonio I am coming home on leave...
