    Anyone know this Cruiser?

    There is a Cruiser for sale in Newark by Jerry Weaver, advertised on Specter's classified site. A friend of mine here in Kentucky is interested. Does anyone know anything about it? I though Jim C. might have seen it, as Newark isn't that far from Lancaster. Let me know and I'll pass the...

    Thanks, guys!

    We had a great time at the Badlands. The real challenge of the weekend for us, though, was survivng the golf ball sized hail in Indy on the way there! If RJ and Johnnie hadn't gotten under the bridge, they probably would have ended up in the hospital. Now if I only had a better computer and...

    Hey Peebles 24

    I saw your post in the Wanted section that you have some locking hubs. We stretched the springs on a Warn hub when removing it and need a replacement. How much do you want for a hub, or do you want to sell them in a set? (1980 FJ40, fine splines.) Too bad I didn't let Jim Klubens know this...

    Rollcage padding/cover

    I installed a MetalTech cage in my FJ40. Couldn't find 2" diameter padding locally, so Downey suggested pipe insulation from McMaster Carr. I ordered it Sunday and got it today, great service! My question is what to cover it with. My Cruiser isn't a show vehicle, should I just wrap it with...

    Invitation to wheel in KY

    Would there be any interest in meeting up in November at Slade with the Bluegrass Cruisers and some Hoosier Cruisers? The Hoosiers Cruisers threw out a possible date of November 12, or maybe early December. I'll let Rice on the Rocks know to see if they want to come, they know the area better...

    PHISHTACO, part 2

    The guy that wants the 3rd member will be in Cincy this Friday? Are you available to hook up with him? E-mail me at <Trainthom@aol.com> Still have the money in my bill fold. Who do I send it to? Or do you just want him to give it to you and you can forward it on? Thom

    HEY BUCKEYE 4X4 and PHISHTACO

    Since we didn't hook up in Vinton County, I was wondering how I can still get the 4.10 diff. from you. Could Phishtaco get it to Cincy after the engine swap on the 10th like he offered to do before? Let me know, we still want to get it. I was at the campground on Saturday morning. Ended up...

    Technical brake questions

    On the S-10 master cylinder that I purchased to do a disc brake conversion, one of the outlets (the front one) is larger diameter than the rear one. On another master cylinder, the rear outlet is larger. 1- Is the larger outlet supposed to go to the disc brakes? Or the drums? If I have it...

    Need brake help

    I'm done the disc brake conversion on my 69 FJ40 using Mike Smythe's write up on the S-10 master cylinder. My problem is that the brake pedal return spring brings the pedal back much quicker than the master cylinder returns, allowing the push rod to slip out of the indentation. This happened...

    Ballast resistor needed?

    This was sort of discussed on Cool Cruisers, but I'd like some more information. My 69 FJ40 has a ballast resistor on the firewall. I just swapped in a 2F, but am using the coil from the 1F. 1- Do I need to use the resistor? 2- What will the effects be, both positive and negative, of...

    Part number for cam plug

    Getting ready to pull the transmission to fix the oil leak that's making my clutch slip. Besides the rear main seal, I want to replace the cam plug while we're in there. &nbsp:Does anyone have a part number for this, I can't find one in the Specter catalog. Thanks.

    Clutch help needed

    I've had my Cruiser for about 1 1/2 years, a 69 FJ40 with a 71 F engine. The PO said that it had been rebuilt by a high school auto mechanics class and it seems to run well with good compresion, so I believed him. It's always leaked oil, however, seemingly from the main seal. The flywheel...
