I’m in the process of replacing a heater core and re-foaming the blend doors in the heater and blower. Process is going really well so far thanks to those who have come before me.
So I have a whole dash apart and everything out. I’m getting ready to put it back together and I have two questions...
I'm doing some research for my dad who has a lead on this truck that sold on BaT in January. The guy who purchased the truck is a friend of my dad's and an auto-collector with some $$$ to spare. He visited the truck before purchasing, secured the winning bid on the truck, then upon further...
Trying to fix some poor wiring done by PO. Truck has a 96 Chevy Vortec engine in it, so the harness has been hacked together in places. Behind the kick panel blow the fuse box on the driver side, there is an unused connector. I’m trying to figure out what this connector was for, I’m guessing...
So the 60 went into the shop today for new wheels and tires. While it was in there we discovered that the front driver spring perch has fully come off the frame. The frame has rust like most do but doesn’t actually look that bad in this area. I’m guessing it may have happened sometime at Cruise...
I need a spare for my FJ60, truck has relatively new BFG All Terrains 33x10.50xR15. This is just a spare anything in good shape with a little tread left would be great.
Also if it comes on a wheel that would be a plus but not needed.
Thanks,
Patrick
Hey all, I recently relocated to Salt Lake City so my significant other can follow her career path. I am looking for employment as an ME.
I was working for Toyota R&D in Ann Arbor, MI prior to moving. I've attached my resume if you know of anything please feel free to pass it on.
Thanks...
So I'm in the middle of a restoration on my '72 FJ40. I'm trying to finish up the engine and noticed that the intake manifold is stripped for the 2 bolts that mate the exhaust to the intake. I was thinking it would be best to use some sort of thread insert instead of just drilling and tapping...
So I am in the process of rebuilding my 72 FJ40 and I am keeping with the stock height. I have decided not to upgrade to a new lift kit because my stock springs seem to be in pretty good shape. Got new all new bushings and the shackles are still solid.
However my old shocks however are...
So my dad has a 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel, he has been looking at making some upgrades and asked me to do some research for him. The truck is mostly driven on long road trips pulling our FJ40 or a trailer of some sort. Occasional use off road but mostly a pavement truck.
First of all he is...
So I dont' know if it is just me but I get a lot of problems when trying to load threads on Mud. the biggest problems occur when loading pictures. I have to reload pages sometimes three times and then the pictures only appear half way decent. Does anyone else have this problem or is it just me?
Ok so I purchased a 1972 FJ40 last January and I have been trying to do some research on what it was so I can one day do a full restoration on it. It was a factory soft top and I have all of the bows. However I have been trying to find a new top for it and I have been considering one of...
I just bought Sirius and am curious where people put there antenna. Sirius says to put it on the roof in the rear but i want to run it clean and can't figure out how to get around the rain gutter. Any suggestions, pics would be great.
A friend of mine who owns an FJ60 recently ran into some problems with his truck. The engine threw a piston rod! He took it to a local Toyota shop and the guy gave him an estimate of $4-5000 to rebuild the engine. This seems high to me. What do you guys think.
Also what do you think would...
Has anyone had experience rebuilding the clutch master and slave cylinders? I have been having trouble shifting so I thought I would try it and didn't seem to do a damn thing. I have checked the blue shift seat. Does rebuilding the cylinders actually work or would I be better off getting new...
I am having trouble shifting. It won't go in to gear very easy at all, it will not go into reverse at all when it is running. The other thing about it is how intermitent it is. It only happens every 3 out of times I drive it. I originally thought it was a possible leaky slave of master...
In my roomates 62 the 4wd light is stuck on and it seemsto be engaged, driveshaft is turning w/out hubs locked. The switch seems to be working cause when pressed we can hear a clicking coming from the dash. What should we do to get it unstuck?
My roomate has a 1996 SR5 4runner and this little box is making a weird harmonic noise after being on for 5 minutes. More when idling. The pic show where the noise comes from. Is this something he should be concerned with? What is this box for?
Thanks for the help.
I am in the middle of rebuilding my knuckles pulled out the axles and noticed the heat marks on the bell. I have never seen this before and was wondering if this is a problem. see attached picture.
Has anyone built a swing out tire and high-lift carrier for a kaymar rear bumper? I know that they make a special one designed for it but $400 seems a little steep and I don't like the design very much. I noticed that there are hole on both sides of the bumper for a spindle. What would you...
Hey guys I am currently running 33x10.5x15 BFG AT. I have been very happy with them but it's time to get new ones. Any other recommendations? It is a daily driver with most miles on pavement. I really like the BFG's but I thought while i was getting new ones see if there is anything else I...
