    Front axle shaft questions

    Thanks very much for the info guys! Man, I love this site! So I guess my only option is to either order the proper length inners or I could always order the 27 spline chromo birfs from EBI so at least I can box it all up and get back to wheelin. It won't be exactly what I wanted but it will be...

    Front axle shaft questions

    I ordered the mini truck chromolly birfs from Trail Gear in BC thinking that they would fit my 77 axle. The problem is that the inner axle shafts that came with the kit are shorter than my stock axle shafts and will not spline into the center diff. The outer birf shafts are the same length...

    Front axle shaft questions

    Blew up a birf so I ordered a set of the Trail Gear Dirty 30 chromolly front axle shafts and birfs which are essentially the same as the Longfields with respect to dimensions, length, etc. My front axle is a '77 that I have installed an Aussie locker, minitruck knuckles, and 4.88 gears. My...

    Power steering (surprise)

    Thanks for the kind words Vicm! There are only about 12 Cruisers around here that I can count off the top of my head right now. I'm sure there are more but they most all have rusted away years ago. The salt here on the roads destroy everything in the winter! My Cuiser is from Ontario and in...

    Power steering (surprise)

    Vicm, I'm in Newfoundland. Hard to get parts around here. Found a double pulley once but it was rusted and cracked. If you find any pulleys let me know! I think I am definitly gonna need one!

    Power steering (surprise)

    I considered the mini truck setup as I already have more than enough parts to put it together in my garage but I am running 36" TSL SX's on 10" wide steel rims with an Aussie locker in the front and I spend a lot of time in the rocks. So I didn't think that the mini truck set up would be enough...

    Power steering (surprise)

    Thanks a bunch guys.....exactly the kind of stuff I was looking for. I now like the idea of mounting the pump on the drivers side above the alt. I didn't know that was an option for me.....I honestly though all the brackets required relocation of the alt and a double row crank pulley...

    Power steering (surprise)

    Hey guys, been researching my saginaw power steering install for my '77 for some time now and I have run into a couple of road blocks. First of all, my cruiser has the single row crank and water pump pulleys and the alternator on the drivers side with one belt driving them all. This means the ps...

    Building for Alaska/ TransCanada Adventure

    If you head to Eastern Canada.....make sure you visit Newfoundland. You won't be disappointed! Let me know when you are coming and we will go wheelin! We also make at least a few trips to some new corner of the island every summer and you would be more than welcome to come along! Don't make the...

    P/S pump

    Thanks guys....i am really leaning towards trying to get my hands on the 60 pump......just stilll not sure if it will bolt to my 2F since the pump is coming off a 4cyl diesel. Also, passenger side alt brackets are pretty scarce around here. I will probably end up fabbing something but I really...

    P/S pump

    I'm not really worried about routing the hoses across to the other side....thanks for the caution though. Ordering from the states to Canada just got a lot more expensive since the exchange rate plumeted. I am hoping this diesel FJ60 pump would bolt to the 2F engine because I can basically get...

    P/S pump

    Has nobody tried this? I also have a mini truck bracket and pump I might use but I like the FJ60 one with the resivior attached to it.

    P/S pump

    Hi guys...starting to accumulate parts for my saginaw power steering conversion. I stumbled across a diesel FJ60 parts rig yesterday, which had power steering, behind a garage. My question is......will the power steering pump from it bolt to my 2F engine?? Looks to me like it might bolt on to...

    I broke something in the front end too!

    Lol! Yep....you busted me. bezel is upside down! However, I was busted by the bezel police more than a year ago and it has been on my to do list for a while......I've just had a lot of other stuff to do. We unknowingly painted her with the bezel upside down and now I have to carefully cut the...

    I broke something in the front end too!

    Well, that's what I was hoping to hear......rather a broken birf than a busted locker! Good excuse for me to haul it all apart and upgrade to the mini truck birfs I have stashed away. Already did the knuckle swap.....probably should have done the birfs at the same time.

    I broke something in the front end too!

    Was out wheelin today in the Cruiser and was playing in the rocks when my spotter noticed my right front tire was not moving at all.....and by not moving I mean stuck and not turning even with the truck rolling in neutral. Didn't hear anything break but there was so much noise from the engine...

    Death to the Wobble

    Sounds similar to the problem I am having. I have a SOA lift and running 36" TSL SX's with 10" wide steel wheels. I originally had the tires mounted on 8" wide steelies and used balancing beads to balance the tires with little or no death wobble at highway speeds. Now since I have swapped them...

    C-clip and wide ring gear woes!

    Really? Wow.....that makes me nervous! Guess I really don't have any other choice! Anyone ever have trouble with failure of the ring gear because of the grinding?

    C-clip and wide ring gear woes!

    After a long day setting up and installing my new Sierra 4.88's, I realized after I had my 3rd members in that I forgot all about my rear c-clips in my 77 40. Can anyone tell me how the heck to get them back in with a wide ring gear?? With the wide ring gear I can't pull the pin back out in...
