    Anyone add a Vacuum booster to 40 clutch master?

    I’ve discussed this idea on mud a couple times and never concluded it was possible. Based on info in this 70 thread… Boosted vs unboosted clutch master cylinder. What’s the benefits? - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/boosted-vs-unboosted-clutch-master-cylinder-whats-the-benefits.1203228/ I...

    Scout II Saginaw conversion, '81 mini truck TRE, SBC, 60 series damper

    I've decided to compile information from my steering swap into a thread rather than just pictures in my build thread. I'm not going to claim to have the best way, but this is what I've done. This swap is basically the same as a 60, 70, or 80 steering box swap. I'll start by saying the...

    Electric E-Brake

    I'd considered this an option a while back and now someone is implementing it... https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/electric-tlc-fj-40-build.1040022/page-21#post-15260523 Now all I'd like to do is figure out how to do it for less than $400 (USD) a side for calipers. More and more cars have...

    Too bad it’s not really in Langford…

    I’m not sure what scammers get out of a listing like this… https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/279559135029948/?mibextid=IouU6C The pictures are all screenshots, streets don’t look familiar, and the license plates aren’t from here. Not to mention a kid standing on the front tire in...

    Heading to Chemainus this afternoon…

    I’m going on a parts run this afternoon. I’ll have space to bring things up or down if there are some things to move. Not interested in moving your buddy, but smallish things are ok

    Icom IC-T8A two way radio programming

    Anyone familiar with Icom handhelds? I just bought one… Seller said he bought it, put it in a drawer, and never used it. He said it needed a battery, but when I looked closely it, I found it housed 3 AA batteries. They charged up just fine. It’s similar in size to my Baofeng radio, but way...

    SBC miss. Trying to get the old girl back on the road. Chevy gurus please help.

    My insurance ran out in February 2020 on my 40. With everything shut down for COVID I decided not to renew and instead do my P/S conversion. When I parked it the recently installed 1972 350 4-bolt main SBC was running perfectly. Fast forward to now. After reinsuring and getting it back on the...

    TRE bung taper in reversed direction

    I’ve done a Scout II P/S conversion. By using an ‘81 Toyota 4x4 TRE the stock 40 series drag link is now the +/- 5” longer it needs to be to fit perfectly with the 40 drag link. The challenge I’ve come across is that the taper in the Mini-truck TRE faces towards the back of the truck rather...

    Water - not for the faint of heat

    By world standards Victoria’s water is very good… perhaps as good as some bottled water. I found this somewhat alarming… Elements out of three stage water filter. Guess which one was first? Activated Charcoal 5 micron 5 micron Based on memory.

    If only…

    I’d pay full price for one of these… $90 wouldn’t cover the cost of the steel. It’d sure be handy, even if I could only use it in the driveway. I’d want to spring for a heavier duty one. Three ton would only be enough for the 40… nothing bigger.

    Ford shock towers

    The custom shock towers I’m running won’t clear my new power steering box. So I ordered a couple Dorman ‘Ford shock towers’. This is what it is looking like. I’m planning to mount them so that the top bolt is 1/2-1” higher than my current ones. It’s looking like that would put the top of the...

    Power steering lines in Victoria

    Need deep in a power steering conversion. Green Line has said they can modify provided lines. What other options are there in Victoria? I’ve got three different pumps, but no fittings for the box end. @Toshi38, did you say PA can make them? Rock Auto can ship me new Gates lines for about...

    ID TRE for Scout II P/S conversion - Toyota Hilux? 70 series?

    I’m hoping someone can identify this TRE. Facts I do know: 1) it has the same size and pitch as the original Fj40 D/S TRE that attaches to the bell crank. I’ve confirmed this by screwing it into two different drag links. 2) the TRE taper matches the P/S pitman arm I have from a 9/1969 four...

    Sevylor “Zodiac”

    I know this is about as far as I can get away from a Landcruiser. I picked up an 11’ Zodiac that’ll fit inside my Ambo, or on top of the 40. For $50 it was hard to pass up. The add said it was good before it was put in storage a couple years ago. It seems to hold air well, but there are a...

    Metal bracket Fabrication...

    Although not specificity cruiser related I thought I’d share some of my previous knowledge and current findings. Sooner or later we’ll all need to make brackets to mount things on our Landcruisers. I’ve always heard that aluminum work hardens... This small bracket was the first (prototype)...

    Smaller engine

    I’ve been trying to find ways to work smarter. A problem we have is that the Ponderosa Pine tree in our front yard is constantly killing our lawn. Raking the needles constantly to keep them from smothering the lawn isn’t something I can keep up. So... I decided to buy a used backpack blower off...
