    Terrain Tamer Spring Clunk

    U-bolts were torqued properly. I used a coolant hose clamp to tighten up the side to side movement in the front of each front axle spring. Actually helped quite a bit, but I don't know how long it will last. Unfortunately I ran out of clamps. I'm going to see if adding another clamp on the rear...

    Terrain Tamer Spring Clunk

    I'm going to re-torque the u-bolts and see if that will make a difference. Welding the straps to the leafes? Wouldn't that prevent the leafs from moving along the length of the spring also?

    Terrain Tamer Spring Clunk

    Hi, I got Terrain Tamer springs on my BJ74 with a 2" lift. I noticed that there is a clunk (annoying) when steering from left to right and vice versa at slow speeds. Thought it was a bushing but turns out that the lower leafes are moving against the main leaf. The Straps holding the leafs...

    Pinion Nut Torque

    Sweet, that worked like a charm. 1/8 of a turn on the pinion nut took care of any play. Now I just got to wait till the new U-joints come in. Matthias

    Pinion Nut Torque

    Thanks. That sounds like a more resonable approach. That torque seems way too high a load on the bearing. Matthias

    Pinion Nut Torque

    I'm checking the drive line of my 89 BJ74 with a LSD for vibrations. There is a bit of play in the rear pinion flange up and down when wiggling it. So I'm thinking the pinion nut is loose. I'm also going to replace the U-joints as there seems to be the onset of wear in the races. What is the...

    RHD drive parts and New Zealand

    I'm off to New Zealand this Christmas. In the back of my mind I'm wondering if I should (well I will just to drool over the trucks that we can't get) visit a Toyota dealer and get some RHD and 13BT specific parts that are hard to get on the east coast of Canada. The truck is a 89 BJ74 with a...

    Rust Proofing

    I gave the truck a good pressure wash underneath and on top and let it dry before applying it.

    Rust Proofing

    Well, the LPS3 was put on. Seems easy to put on stays waxy/semi fluid but doesn't drip like rust check. I think I got all the spots. Thanks for all the advice.

    BJ 74 resonant noise

    Hello, I've noticed what seems to be resonant noise coming from the intake of the engine. It seems to happen mostly when the engine temp is 1/2 way between cold and operating temperature. Sometimes it also appears when the engine is warm. The truck is fitted with a safari snorkel, so I can...

    Rust Proofing

    Thanks for the replies. I ordered FPS 3. I'll probably inspect the underneat every 6 months and touch things up.

    Rust Proofing

    Thanks for the info. Might try lps3 this year maybe 3 M next year. Other than the obvious (doors), are there any hidden cavities on a BJ74 that I should know about when rust proofing the truck. I know wheel wells. bulkhead, winshield frame, rockers anything that I'm missing? I have to say...

    Rust Proofing

    Hello, I bought a 89 Bj74 and am looking at rust proofing options. Any body has any experience with this stuff, it's used in aviation? Unlike rust check it is does not harm rubber and it also may not dissapear as quick as rust check. http://www.lpslabs.com/products/CorrosionInh/Lps3.asp I...
