    Looking for a new Rig Mini/Taco it is.

    Thanks for some of the responses on the 6cyl. I had my suspicions about them and will try to avoid, if possible. I know rust, so I'll make sure to keep a watchful eye out for it too. Will keep hunting!!

    Looking for a new Rig Mini/Taco it is.

    Hey, I'm looking for a city run-about truck. Initially I thought a 86-95 2wd would be perfect but they're not as abundant and it sure would be fun to offroad a Mini/Taco instead of my 'nicer' 40. I am too scared to offroad the 40 and it usually sleeps for the winters anyways. Salt here is...

    Broken Thermostat Housing Bolts

    The two different thermostats. The old thermostat is in rough shape as I had to mangle it to get the housing halves apart.

    Broken Thermostat Housing Bolts

    Here's a little update to the thermostat housing progress. I managed to get the 2 halves separated with a mighty struggle. With heat and vice grips, I got 1 bolt out but the other didn't budge. Extractor and heat did nothing. I had to drill it out and it still fought with me. I ended up...

    Broken Thermostat Housing Bolts

    SURPRISE! I broke the two bolts which hold the thermostat housing together. So much for just a quick thermostat swap. Anyways, I have the broken ends soaking with some penetrating oil on them. My question is - is the upper half of the thermostat housing have threads in it? Or is the only...

    Heater fan only works on LOW

    You have no idea! man, I was just outside checking a few things out and I had to come back in after 5 min just to warm up. I think you're right, something is funky with the pull switch. I'll pull it apart and muck with it inside. Thanks for the tips.

    Heater fan only works on LOW

    Hey, Its not quite a real time help question but its darn near it. Its a balmy -25C (the warmest day this week) with overnight lows of -33 to -35C. I won't even get into the windchill. Anyways, I've been somewhat having fun driving the 40 until the heater quit. I obviously had both the...

    People in Central Alberta

    I know mine isn't a diesel but it's loud and makes lots of creaks, groans and rattles... I'm in Calgary but I'm sure there are a few guys here who are closer to you than myself. Nice looking cruiser though. Have a build up thread? if not, start one! As mentioned earlier, join the CA-AB...

    how to disassemble MAF 4+ rear bumper cooler carrier

    My bumper looks exactly the same as yours. Rusty as all **ll on the bottom half and 'relatively' rust free on the upper half. These bumpers are nice but they really require a lot to be desired. How hard would it be to put a zerk in the swingarms? I get a good workout trying to open mine...

    FJ40 Build up Help

    Like LittleMan says, search is a beautiful thing. I get carried away in it some days. One thing I would like to add with the 4+ bumper (I have one), Its awesome. The only thing I wish I would have done before it was mounted was drill and tap a zerk fitting into the pivot arms. The...

    Is my shaft... Too Long?

    Great Point! I'll have to do a search, or a quick response from one of you guys would be awesome! According to your diagram, it is backwards. Also, just out of curiosity, does that even matter??

    Is my shaft... Too Long?

    well guys, thanks for the responses. I am a little embarrassed... I thought that because I couldn't see the splines (which I thought you were supposed to) that the shaft was nearly pushed all the way in. I need to add some caster shims to correct that angle and in theory, should "shorten" the...

    Is my shaft... Too Long?

    Well, its a bit of both. I'm currently chasing down some shims. The picture is also a little skewed. I'll see if I can take one later with not as much angle. I just stuck my iphone under the truck and snapped a quick photo.

    Is my shaft... Too Long?

    I've never heard that before! :grinpimp: Anyways, I've got a couple kinks to work out still but I got to thinking about the driveshaft. It doesn't look like there is any room on the slip-joint (is that the right word?) It looks to be fully compressed. Take a look and let me know what you...

    Went for a 60 - Bought a 40

    Yup, FJ Cruiser. I didn't keep the tires/rims. I thought they were a little too flashy for the rig. Any other pictures? Anything more specific?

    Suspension Woes. Thoughts on these Spring Perches

    Thanks for all the responses. I went out last night and checked the welds, they look pretty stout. There is a plate welded to the backside as well. I think I am going to run with them for the summer and then take a good look at them and decide what to do with them over the winter while its...
