    I need fuel gauge advice

    I have a stock fj40 fuel sending unit which reads 17 ohm +\- 2.1 ohm when full. It reads 120 ohm +\- 6.5 when empty. I am trying to find an autometer gauge which will work in this range. I found one with a range of 16 to 158 ohm. This would work for measuring a full tank, since the range on...

    Fitting the Man-a-fre 28 gal fuel tank in a pre 72 rig - pics inside

    I have wanted to increase the fuel capacity in my 67 Fj40 for quite some time. When Man-a-Fre started stocking the long range tanks I had lusted over I felt it was time to step up. Unfortunetly the tank is designed to fit post 72 model years. The earlier models have a tool box and...

    Do you carry spare rear axle shafts on your rig?

    would you check out that rack!!!

    So, I am making a move to Sacramento CA and will be moving into the capitol of the "Golden State" arriving on July 11th. As luck would have it Rubithon got postponed until July 13th this summer due to excessive trail snow pack. I have dreamed about doing the rubicon trail for over a decade and...

    Pardon my remedial question, I have serious issues with electricity. I want to put in a second battery into my cruiser. My current battery is located in the back of my rig and I would like to put the second battery into the engine compartment area. I understand that to keep this as a 12 volt...

    rubithon questions for a novice

    I recently purchased a puma 12 volt air compressor to morph into an on board air compressor for my fj40. The unit came with 10g wire, in reading on the net I have come across reccomendations to wire this unit for at least 30 amps. I am an electrical retard; 1) is 10 g wire sufficient...

    New Rear Winch Bumper

    I have been working on this bumper for a few weeks in my free time. With a couple of days off over the hollidays I have had time to finish and mount it on my rig. I still have some fine tuning to do but I'm pretty happy with the results. Hopefully I get to test it out soon.

    For those with SOA and too much roll -much needed improvement - sway bar

    Since I did the SOA on my cruiser (search : split pea buildup), I have never been happy with the amount of body roll that I was getting. With my RS9000 shocks set at "9" the cruiser would lurch to angles of 30 degrees on even mild obsticales. I decided to try out the Currie anti-rock...

    gas smell

    Sorry for the stoopid question, I want to make sure Im thinking right before I act. I have a 670cfm holley truck avenger carb on a mildly built 350 engine. I have a distinct gas smell if I am on the gas for a while and then stop or kill the engine. Its worse if I'm revving the engine such as...

    anyone else with Ignition switch malfunction?

    It is always something, reguardless of time, money, and attention. I have developed an electrical demon. all electricity to the rig minus the headlights and blinkers turns off like a lightswitch ( when I dont want it to). Often it will come back on momentarily if I mess with the ignition...

    The RCLC scale build up thread

    All right, some of you may have already seen my LCRC in my 1:1 scale fj40 build up called the "split pea buildup". I am not going to use many words in this buildup because lets be honest, we all want pics :). The base is the Tamiya CRO1 chassis and I just started building my own goodies to fit...

    How can I go about setting up a new subforum?

    moderators, is it possible to start a subforum based upon radio controled landcruisers like what is pictured in both my buildup "split pea build up" and Winkle's buildup. I don't know how else to post up. I know pirate has a similar forum but I spend most my time over here Thanks for your help

    lockers that dont lock?

    i have a powertrax lunchbox locker that I was going to replace with an Aussie locker today. A little quick background, I destroyed my pinion and had to run my rear axle differential with a powertrax installed without oil to get my rig off the trail and home. I replaced the ring and pinion...

    4x4 labs high steer tie rod clearance question

    For those of you running the 4x4 labs high steer kit, how much room do you have between the tie rod and the top of the sping pack (on SOA) when the truck is sitting level with vehicle weight on the springs and wheels pointing straight? I am having clearance issues and need to know what...

    longfield axle snapring question

    I am just about ready to put my new longfields in and i noticed that they differ from my stock axle shaft by not having the snap ring groove cut into th splines which prevents the birfield from sliding toward the ring gear (the more medial of the two snap ring grooves is missing). The outside...

    fish scale for knuckle bearing preload

    I am getting ready to do some knuckle work and was wondering where other mudders got their "fish scale" to set their knuckle bearing pre load. Is this something I can get at a hardware store, fish market, ect? Is there anything special I should look for which makes one "fish scale" better than...

    which direction should the rear axle bearing face

    I am a moron..... I can't remember which side of the bearing faces the ring gear. There are no marks on my extracted bearings to give me a hint and my service manual is not specific enough. It is on an 81 semifloat fj40 axle. Does anyone know if the side that says koyo points in toward the...
