    Projecting, tinkering, fiddle-farting around: whatcha building?

    Why won't your plastic router router wood? At work we use the same machines to route both...I use the CNC mills and lathe in my work area to machine wood as well as metals and plastics. Nick

    AC line crimper tool

    I'd bet the dies are interchangeable - Mastercool also sells the extra dies. I would not use this for hydraulic hoses. I'm pretty sure the ferrules are made of thicker metal on hydraulic fittings and hydraulic crimps are more uniform around the ferrule. I think you can get reusable hydraulic...

    AC line crimper tool

    I have also used this crimper set when redoing the A/C lines for my Cummins powered Ford. It's been several years and no leaks; A/C still works fine. Nick

    A little help on bolt purposes - two different locations...

    The seatbelts go to the top hole if you didn't get the rollbar. The bottom bolt is a clamp bolt that holds the hardtop post in the door pillar. Nick

    Very nice KLF! I'll have to get together with Steve for a ride... Speaking of motorcycles; mine got a change of color. From this: To this: My 2018 R1200 GSA now matches the paint scheme of my '76 FJ40. Nick

    KLF, FWIW fellow Yankee Toy alum Mike Gavin has a GX470 here in Pepperell MA. I'm sure we could all get together and have a look at it with regards to mounting a cutting board in the back.... Nick

    Best Tool for Opening Hole from 15.80mm to 15.88mm (5/8 inch) - Drill Bit or Reamer?

    It only had a .003" press fit to start with according to your measurements. Much less than that and you run the risk of spinning the bushing in the housing. The 20T press would have pushed it in easily as it was. Now I would be inclined to use a bearing mounting compound instead of assembly...

    Best Tool for Opening Hole from 15.80mm to 15.88mm (5/8 inch) - Drill Bit or Reamer?

    The new bushing is larger so it is a press fit into the distributor housing. Just press it into the hole as is. Nick

    A little help IDing these wheels?

    What skidplate said. I have had a couple sets of those through the years. I had to do minor grinding to the front caliper or use 1/4" wheel spacers to make them fit any of the Cruisers I had them on. Nick

    Brake and exhaust help

    Joe, Did you not also have issue with the wheel cylinders not bleeding all the air out because the bleeder was not the highest point in the wheel cylinder? Seems to me you and I had that issue once with your FJ55... Nick

    Real world value on wheeler FJ40 , purists please look away!

    Transfer output leak after double seal - what am I doing wrong?

    Looks like the drum has been machined where the seal rides. Might be too small for the seals to actually seal against at this point... Nick

    Under two post lift jack stands?

    I have 4 of the HF underlift jack stands. I had my '92 ExtraCab longbed 4x4 F250 Diesel on them (and the lift of course) for at least a month with swapping the clutch, t-case and rear axle rebuild. I did throw away the crappy bolts that came with them and bought better stuff locally. IMHO...
