too many irons in the fire these days, so I'm selling off all the pieces to my 40.
here's the thread:

Locals and PMC members take priority.
Let me know if anything strikes anyone's fancy.
Edit:
Located in Santa Rosa, Ca. Shipping is difficult for me, because I'm limited to whatever I can cram into the trunk of an '05 Corolla, and I work the night shift.
However, I'm willing to make arrangements as best I can.
My truck died, and I had to get myself some new wheels. Therefore...
I'm no coffee drinker, but I've been reading that the large-bore Turkish grinders make great alternatives to your standard pepper mill.
I'm thinking about purchasing one from Hamazon for 23 bucks shipped to my door, but I just wanted to know if anyone's ever experimented with this use...
My green LG EnV phone of the past five years has finally crapped out. It was something I'd acquired as a freebee from Verizon back then, and, at the time, I sneered at its overcomplicated style, but came to enjoy "The Booger" as I called it.
It was surprisingly rugged, comfortable to type...
Alright, I lost my running light leg of my harness. Bad short, one I couldn't fix, so I'm laying in my own harness for it, but I've hit a snag: I don't recall which green wire in the tail lights runs the rear running lights.
Passenger's side:
- white/black (Ground, common)
- Green/red bars...
My truck's developed a peculiar habit, and I need a second opinion.
Since getting it back from the shop with the new timing chain, I'm experiencing a loss of power uphill, in third gear uniquely, upwards of 3000 RPMS. It will hold true to anything below that, but over 3000, I can just feel the...
Given the troubles I've run into with The Mule lately, I'm leaning in the direction of getting my hands on a tow rig maybe next winter or spring, something that I'm okay having around as a Toyota Tug and backup rig for when my truck's getting worked on.
I'm a closet Ford guy, so I'm leaning in...
For those who know, was there any significant difference between the gas L52 transmissions released for the first-gens with 22R Vs. 2L?
It's looking like my pet L52 could possibly mate up to a 3L, since they're identical bolt patterns, but my concern is in the input shaft may be different...
Well, my fourth spin-out since spring has motivated me to get down to Yodaman and get a new front drive shaft on The Mule.
I spoke to Larry about it, and that day he'd sent out a batch of second-gen IFS CV's for a rebuild, he put my name on one, sold me a core that I took down to the driveline...
I'm trying to separate the fact from fiction here regarding the 3L, and I'd like to turn to the experts for advice on the matter.
The 3L is a 2.8 liter indirect-injected diesel motor that is naturally aspirated.
It has a more robust cast-iron head than the 2L.
There was never an...
Headed up to visit some friends in Woodland this weekend, and as much as my buddy wants me to join him for a rousing game of Call of Duty (where's that barfing icon???), I'd rather hit the trails, and see if I can get him to join me.
Anyone know any good trails close to Woodland (within an...
I've never much cared for my factory mirrors on The Mule, they're just too small and too low.
While browsing Pick-n-Pull today, I stumbled across an FJ62, and got to admiring its (surprisingly) intact side-view mirrors.
Pulled 'em off, took 'em across the way to a wrecked first-gen, did a...
Saw it this morning.
It's a gunmetal grey 89 FJ62 at the Windsor, CA pick-n-pull. There are no rims, but the axles are intact. Complete harness and 3FE, complete interior.
Front fenders are full of holes, and crumpled beyond salvation.
No door mirrors, 'cause they're on The Mule now.
It...
Going up on craigslist today, but I'm willing to make special considerations for 'Mudders.
This an 87 SM465 transmission that's been in my wood shed for a couple years now. I had the intention of building a mod truck around it, but that's no longer in the cards.
I want it gone is the short...
Scored me a wire harness from a 94 22RE Manual truck that I'm cleaning up as fodder for a (someday) motor upgrade.
Other than grabbing it from the yard, I haven't done anything to this thing, because I want a clear plan of exactly what I'm going to do before hand.
My goal is to make this...
Jerrod, Pappy, would it be possible to keep this amongst us?
I promise on pain of thread relocation, that it will remain P&R free, and will reflect our unity as an (at times) awkward appendage of the general body of Toyota fan society. (let's face it, all the cruiser folks know we're on the...
Got an idea that I'd like to try out in the next couple days.
I really love British bangers. They're the best breakfast sausage out there, so I'm kind of shooting for a vaguely banger-ish sausage, but one that's got enough "twists" to make it something unique.
5 Lbs boneless pork shoulder...
Did some work this week on my truck that got me thinking about what mods and everyone's done to their trucks using whatever they could find for little or nothing in cost.
Not to the extent of encouraging neglectful maintainance practices, but little things that, while far from the best thing...
Kind of a cryptic title, but I was reading a thread in the 100 section about what would kill a cruiser, and it got me thinking about how many of us mini owners are on their second or more engine, transmission, or transfer case, and if any of these parts failing would be a deterrant to keeping...
First-gen pickups are my second love, following the venerable FJ40, and my preference was always toward the older pickups with the round lamps: they remind me of the 40, but still have a little of their own unique bracketry to make them look like a good, classic truck. However, tech-wise, the...
