I have an early FJ-40 top that has been in my garage for 20 years, that needs a new home. Bi-Fold door model with the factory roof vent, makes it about '62 to '64. The top isn't cracked, rain gutter is perfect, it does have a couple of holes where there were lights at one time. Bi-fold door...
I have a '95 Disco that I use primarily for off road. Love the truck, but I preffer steel wheels and tall skinny tires. I know that series wheels fit the Disco, so two questions. First, where can I find five searies style wheels for a reasonable price and second, are series steelies suitable...
Was the early 4 speed, non-syncro 1st w/the single speed T-case, an FJ-25 only were some used in early FJ-40/45? A friend has an early 40 body & frame, frame number is below 8,000, that has the early 4 speed & T-case. My guess is that somewhere along the line a 25 motor/trans/T-case got...
I will be starting on my 45 SWB soon. I have been trying to come up w/a replacement for the fiber board liner in the rear & corners of the cab. I know original is out of the question. Anyone found a similar matterial ? What are others doing here, just leaving it out?
I've got some extra stuff thats got to go. All items are located in Leadville CO, about 100 miles west of Denver. I get to Denver from time to time, I'll be in Denver and Co Spgs on the 31st. I get west for work regularly. Reasonable offers or trades for either an early to '63 three speed or an...
Any thoughts on using DOT5 brake fluid for something that sits most of the time. I have used MIL H 5606 (Dextron II) before when I can replace all the seals with viton/butyl. Actually, I doubt you can find natural rubber seals anymore. I want to go DOT 5 in my 45 becouse it will sit 95% of...
This is my first add here, tried to post pics but couldn't, I am either to new or a moron (either is possible:o) First the basics, all parts are located in Leadville CO, I get as far east as Denver and as far west as Rifle fairly regularly. Second, items w/glass I preffer not to ship. Third...
I have the side loader 3 speed and early 2 speed T-case in my '62 FJ-45. The trans falls out of second gear. Here is the question, will the early 2 speed T-case mate to the later top loader 3 speed? Second question, is the side loader fixable (parts available:hhmm:)? My goal is to keep the...
I have been going through about 20 years of LC stuff that I have managed to hoard, whoopps, I mean store! I have a 45LV, out of a '66, gas tank with frame mounts and straps that's been in the rafters of my garage for 20 plus years. I am not needing it, my original plan was to intsall it under...
Hi folks,
Hope I am not breaking any written/unwritten rule here by posting an early 40 question. Here goes, I have a top that I pulled off of a carcas in a Salida CO junk yard years ago. The hard top itself has a roof vent in the rear 1/3. The vent is about 4"X10" and most definetly...
Is/has anyone here run the 2bbl intake that SOR lists for the 3 port E-67 head? I am thinking of trying one out on a '66 40 that is comming my way. My other option would be to go with a latter F head. Any comments would be welcome, nice board by the way, thanks.
