After doing the motor and trans swap in my 40, I have noticed the whine and I could feel it through the floor shifter for the T-Case. I was thinking something was wrong with it, but I just kept driving it. I have been pretty hard on it lately because I just wanna unleash the beast with all the...
This vehicle was purchased from one of my buddy's late uncle 3 weeks ago. He was the original owner and had really tweaked the wiring system and emission related items and had sat for 5 years. It was a killer deal of only $500 from the my friends grandma and came with 8 (so far) brown widow...
As I have been on mud for a short time now, I have wanted to make a build thread even though I have already completed alot of things I still have more to add, so here is Ѐl Diablo. I think this name suits this 40.

After I have installed 4" lift springs(SUA) on my 71 fj40, I need something other than the Rancho RS5000 shocks that the PO installed. The Ranchos have a short stroke so they were limiting my axles to droop for some good articulation. I got my hands on some 12" FOX Shocks with resivors.
The...
The cage this 40 came with from the PO was just not good enough for me. I need a family cage that ties into the frame. I am going to have Subaru WRX seats in the front with 5 point belts, The rear SEAT will be a mastercraft bench with 4 point belts eventually.
The other day my buddy John came...
I Have a 71 fj40 with some new wilwood 4 piston calipers disc up front(man-a-fre) and stock drums in da rear and a fresh stock master cly. When I was in dirt on an upward slight slant the fronts kept locking up in reverse and I would slide and not be able to turn around. Didn't know if the...

On saturday I guess I was exceeding the posted speed limit and the windshield did not shield the wind. It popped in and the wiper motor and visor arms caught it from smashing my face in. Ha I guess these FJ40s aren't designed to go around 95mph...
