The journey has begun. Got up around 3am yesterday to head to the airport and 9 hours later we were arriving at the airport in Sheridan, WY where Heather picked us up. My buddy Shook who is a mechanic decided this sounded like an adventure he needed to be a part of and it's nice to have him...
Bought a 1978 40 in Wyoming and can ship it, or drive it back to Charleston, SC. Driving it will be about 2,400 miles. I've never owned a 40, but thinking of taking some earplugs and bouncing my way at 60mph back. It has supposedly been baselined and runs well. Is this a completely idiotic idea...
Heather over at WWCC has been great to speak with and has a 78' 40 that I am looking at purchasing and having shipped to me. I could fly out there to inspect it, but I'm not a mechanic and couldn't really evaluate it well. Is there anyone in the area that could swing by her shop and take a look...
Looking at a 40 out of state, compression numbers came back below. I believe spec was 150, but over 105 is okay? My main question is I read in some of the other threads they should be within 10%. Any feedback appreciated on #2 and the results.
1: 125
2: 105
3: 120
4: 118
5: 118

Time to upgrade the wife's car and looking to find a low mileage LX570, 2011, possibly 2013, white exterior/blk interior.
Please let me know if you come across a good lead.
Thank you very much
I have a 97 FJ80 that I don't drive anymore after getting a new SUV and am looking to trade it for a FJ40, depending on condition of the 40 would add cash to the deal as well. The 80 has about 150k miles, good shape overall, located in Atlanta, Ga. 97 40th Sage, 3x locked, ARB front, OME lift...
I got my sliders from Jim and they look great, just can't figure out how to mount them and no instructions. There are three plates and a bunch of different bolts. Some of the plates have screws welded, some don't and don't know where to mount it to. The holes don't seem to line up with any frame...
As some of you might know, after nearly 4 months of searching I found my new baby about 2 months ago. A 97 40th anniversary in Sage, locked, 120k and in pretty darn good shape. I was ecstatic and have been loving it. I had a leak I couldn't find and so took it to a local cruiser shop and they...
I am hoping to find some good 3 day explorations in the woods with the family. I was talking to some other people on here that are looking for the same thing. Not just a place to rock crawl, but where to go to really get away from everything in the sense of our neighbors on the other coast. If...
Trying to decide between two sets of tires, Discount Tire I went to today has 4 take off BFG AT KO's in 295/75/16 mounted and full replacement for 523.42 with 12/32 tread left, or can get the Nitto Terra Grapplers in same size with same road hazard and mounting for 800.00 new. Never had either...
I just got a 2.5 heavy/med lift from OME and am sure I am going to need some help putting it on as I have no idea what I'm doing and would like to save the couple hundred bucks for install to put towards sliders. Any help greatly appreciated.
