working on installing aux tank and I need to get keyed power. I’m digging into the dash and not seeing anything obvious or gauged enough for 5 amps. any tips? i was hoping something obvious would jump out at me in the fuse box, but no dice thus far.
any thoughts? who’s putting in aux fuse...
i've done the sensor lift on my LX and things are generally fine, but i am quickly adding steel to the rig and i am thinking about ways to modify things to keep height and try to get the truck back to a softer ride. i have 35"s on it right now and with the sensor lift, the ride selector is on...
Heyo-
I need some wisdom. I put a 4HE1T Isuzu diesel into my 40 and I need to figure out a radiator. My plan is to do a radiator, intercooler, and an AC condenser and pull with an electric fan. Not much room for all of that.The original radiator for the Isuzu was a tall, thin, skinny unit that...

anybody have any leads? he is looking at a job off of the katy freeway near eldridge. looking...
its a long story i am documenting in another thread.
i want to wire up the intermittent wiper function and i am having trouble figuring out how it works. i put ohm meter to contacts to look for signal and nothing, resistance-wise anyway, changes in either pin activity or connectivity with...
anybody out there with a descent rear sill and a pre-ambulance door 40? I need some measurements for some checks on my body resto....
i need three measurements - the top of the lip on the rear of the tub down to the bottom of the quarter panel and the gap between the bottom of the sill and...
curious if anybody has any idea. i havent seen any references on the intarwebs or in mud searches. i would guess 250 ft-lbs is trivial considering my experience with mine, but what about, say, 400 ft-lbs... i am sure it would handle it for a while, but how about long term?
the part out has been started, so there are a number of things already gone - engine, tranny, t-case, seats are spoken for, front doors, gauges, dash pads, top, windshield frame, hood, bib, aprons.
i am working on pulling the wiring COMPLETE.
axles remain, frame remains and is available WITH...
what is an HEJ43, you ask... i will explain.
earlier this year i finished and shipped an FJ40 resto that i did for a good friend, boltonski. the years of working 'together over the phone' on his truck was an excellent learning experience, and his patience, flexibility, and creativity made...

i have a vision for my project 40 and have come up with an idea to install a modern steering wheel and column. i am looking for a 100 series, late model tacoma or 4 runner in black or gray.
i need the entire steering column, all the way through the firewall. ideally, i would like the...
so i am going to build my 40 project on a shortened 80 frame/axle set up and i am looking for some input as to which body might be a better choice.
there is significant sentimental value in the '72 as it is the first vehicle i ever bought 20 years ago. i would like to restore it for this...
just wrapped up a resto on a 40 with a 60 series drivetrain in it (2F-H55F-60 split case) and was driving it around and noticed i could not get the t-case out of low.
shifter moves through all 4 positions (2/4xH/L) and can feel it hit the detents, but clearly not coming out of low gear...
SOLD!!!
Engine is in my garage in salt lake city.
i am going to change my next project to a diesel, so i am selling my 2FE. if you are looking for a 2F short block or a 3FE head, or the whole set up, let me know! i would prefer to sell the assembly whole, but for the right price, i'd be...
So I am making plans for my project 40 and I have decided to go diesel rather than use the 2FE I built and I am having difficulty deciding what motor to choose.
Current thinking is Isuzu 4BDT1/2, Merc OM617 5 cyl, or 1HZ. I have considered other diesels from the above as well, and am still open...
i have the twist wingdings that bolt to the tub and the loops that go through the canvas, so the quest has now focused on finding the hardware/buckles that secures the straps that go through the footman loops on the tub and the rear doors.
anybody have any luck finding any of those buckles...
