    2F ticking noise

    A few weeks ago I started getting a ticking noise that sounded like it was under the valve cover. It speeds up and slows down with the engine. I have done a full valve adjustment, verified it isn't a lifter, and double checked all springs and rocker arm assembly. I can't seem to find the...

    re upholstering front seat question.

    Hey Seth. There is a guy on Hill Rd by Edwards green house. The place is called Jim's Upholstery I think. He might have some ideas for you. ;)

    81 FJ40 Project

    Replied to your message Seth. :D Ok $400 later my driveline issues are resolved. Had a CV drive line built to relieve the pressure at the transfercase and shimmed my rear axle to get the pinion back up and "tada" quiet as a church mouse. No rattle, no vibration, and no wondering if my...

    81 FJ40 Project

    Thanks for the replies everyone. SOR confirmed that with my setup I shouldn't need any shims for the rear axle. That is if I'm correct and the stock shackle length on my 81 was 2.75" (can anyone confirm this?) and my anti inversion shackles are 3" pin to pin. Unfortunately that means that I...

    Thanks for the reply and compliments Snow. My springs are also SUA. I also fixed my wandering problem with 4 deg shims in the front and it drives with the hubs locked and no rear driveline installed beautifully. Are you replacing all those parts based on trying to troubleshoot or are they...

    81 FJ40 Project

    Thanks Lee. It has been a lot of fun and a royal PAIN at times. Seems like I get one thing fixed only to have something else break but it keeps me out of trouble. I know I've asked this before but I've tried several different things with no real luck so I'm looking for more direction. My...

    2F OEM Oil Cooler

    Haha yeah when Mother Nature cooperates. Still ironing out some bugs and making improvements along the way. How is yours?

    new shocks

    I have the 4's as well but the rough country's do touch. Did you shim your axles and if so what degree Sully?

    new shocks

    I have the same situation caper and am interested in any replies. What springs did you buy? I've actually contacted Hellcreek and they say they use them all the time and the only time they touch is at dead center but it has never caused a problem.

    2F OEM Oil Cooler

    Hey Alex. I took my old o-ring down to Napa and found identical replacements. The copper washers are meant to be a one time use washer. If you remove the cooler replace the copper. Just had to pull mine to fix a leak and replaced rings and washers. No leak.

    81 FJ40 Project

    Been too long since I posted anything. Got all of my leaks fixed. Had to replace a water pump gasket and oil cooler o-rings. Still have a little vibration on the driveline but my angles are all good so I'm going to take it to a driveline shop just to double check. Quick ? For anyone who...

    Fuel delivery Problem. (amongst many others)

    X2 with the fuel pump location. Electric pumps are made to push not pull. The further from the fuel tank the harder it is for the pump to suck fuel.

    fj40 vibration

    Nice rig by the way. Shackle angles look a little too vertical (not related) but maybe it is just the pic.

    fj40 vibration

    Ditto on checking your rear driveline. I had a bad vibration and realized my rear driveline was out of phase. I had forgotten it came apart during the restore and I just slapped it back together without looking at the yolk alignment. Welcome :beer:

    Fuel delivery Problem. (amongst many others)

    Fighting the same thing you are Links. Went through the process of pulling each line in turn and running the pump to hunt down any clogged lines or filters. After finding no clogs in the rubber or hard lines I put a hose directly on the suction tube coming out of the fuel tank and about burst...

    Thanks Lash. My wife will attest to my lack of patience. :rolleyes: I will hunt down some ramps and maybe do a little curb hopping the rest of the week. Loosened my shackle bolts a little and it seemed to help and they are well greased. On a side note I'm running a Weber 38DGAS carb and an...

    81 FJ40 Project

    Removed the rear drive line just to double check and re-grease. Everything was lined up correctly and it was a little under greased. Installed a new e-brake cable but even with the handle pulled tight I get no braking so I'll have to figure out that adjustment. What is everyone else's...
