    For Sale  FJ40 Rear 4-link kit and FJ60 axle (Proffitt's kit) $500

    Just what the title says, 4-link kit set up for buckets and coils, and an fj60 axle that is prepped with the top brace welded on. Located in North Seattle, WA. Not willing to ship as it's all heavy.

    CM 2014 compilation video

    Andy did. Unfortunately the bolt on his anti-wrap bar had sheared at some point during the ride, so it wasn't doing it's job when he gassed it to get up and over a rock face. To add insult to injury, his alternator (presumably) got fried when he tried to winch himself up and over. So, took us...

    CM 2014 compilation video

    Short compilation of clips from some of us WA guys at CM2014. It was a great trip this year and looking forward to coming back. Hopefully we'll skip busting a pinion shaft on the last day, last obstacle of the Golden Spike trail...

    Hydro assist, see if my mount looks okay

    Mounting a 6" PSC ram on my SOA FJ40 with Histeer conversion. I've got the ram mounted about as parallel to the tie rod as I can get it. I've already added an internal spacer to the ram to limit its range to a bit shorter than the full travel of the tie rod. I'm using a clamp style mount on...

    "Behind the Rocks"- How hard is it?

    Well, that's the thing, I've watched the pics and videos that don't always give the obstacles much justice. It seems like for a short wheel base you'd really need a strap on the rear bumper to avoid tipping end over on nose dive.

    "Behind the Rocks"- How hard is it?

    Starting to map out what trails I'd like to do at Cruise Moab. How gnarly would Behind the Rocks be? I'm in a SOA fj40, ARBs front and rear on 37" tires, leaf-sprung at ~99" wheelbase.

    Tahuya run 1/19/14

    Some of those puddles are deep, so keep an eye out. Particularly if you come across a bunch of "spectators" just hanging out to see who's foolish enough to try to make it across. More than one engine has been hydrolocked there... Have fun, and let me know when you decide to hit Elbe, could...

    Tahuya run 1/19/14

    Surprised you aren't going to Elbe instead, I didn't think there was much to wheel at Tahuya other than a couple of water holes and Yellow Jacket Hill?

    Changing a rear main seal ford 302 engine

    If you're getting a leak from the back of the tcase and you're going to go through the effort to fix it, check out Mudrak's option for adding a second seal in the housing between the tcase and drum brake, or do it yourself (which isn't that hard). You can also add a Speedi-sleeve to the shaft...

    timing problem

    Good suggestions above- cheap fix if it's just a partially plugged gas filter.

    Changing a rear main seal ford 302 engine

    I was contemplating this same issue on my SBC- at least for the Chevies it sounds like there are two-piece rear main seals that, while they still require the removal of the oil pan, do not require separating the transmission from the engine. Might want to look into it a bit more before pulling...

    What is a nice running 74 F motor worth

    What distributor is required for a TBI swap on the 2F?

    Taurus Fan Ques.

    Good mod, search around and you'll find the part number for heavy duty relays from NAPA. There's a pretty high current draw when it first fires up (~70 amp or so) before it settles down. The standard cheapo relay isn't going to do the trick.

    Radiator Plug question

    Sounds messy, not sure you can do that without antifreeze coming out everywhere since it'll be under pressure from the pump?

    Engine oil leak! Initial thoughts?

    Sounds like front main seal?

    Fj40 transfer case leak

    In addition to the speedi-sleeve, it's a good time to put a second seal in the housing, either by buying it from Mudrak or just grinding off the lip and doing yourself (a 1 or 2 banana job at most).

    Radiator Plug question

    Try putting some teflon tape on the plug. Regarding switching fluid over, I'd probably fill with water, and run the engine till the temp gets up to temp so that the thermostat opens so you're getting flow through the whole system. Let cool, drain, repeat. Put the red/water mix in after...
