Hi,
Is there a way to separate the dust shield from the plate that bolts to the axle? There looks to be 4 or maybe 6 pins that hold the dust plate on. Maybe they can be pressed out than back in. I’m restoring a rusty 80 axle for my build and I want to get this part to clean up and paint/por15...
Hi All,
Is this tranny and transfercase a 5 speed with a split transfer case or a 4 speed? Since the back of the tranny has that extended area, red circle, before the transfercase does this mean its a 5 speed. I have seen a 4 speed with a split tranfercase and it's missing that extended section.
I’m looking for a wiring kit for the factory eLockers on 96 fj80 axles. I found 12voltguy however all his wiring harnesses are for 4Runner’s and Toyota Trucks. 12voltguy is not emailing me back. On Facebook and his site is down.
These axles are going in my fj45.
I want to build an extended breather line therefore I want more real estate to put a hose on to the breather. However I also need the bottom part of the breather to stay the same because it holds a brake line union in place.
See image of what I have.
Is there a part number that keeps the...
I’m looking to buy a set of fj80 axles with OEM eLockers. They will go in my fj45 with 2F. I plan to run at least 37’s. I read here that OEM eLocker is no good for that size tire. Therefore I will look at an ARB. Can I use the 3rd member from the axle and swap out the locker and ring and...
I have a few questions about the H41. Well just 1 question as I could not find the answer on this site or the web. The other 2 questions are more for confirmation of what I think I understand.
Looking at this link: TLC FAQ - 8.1 Transmission & transfer Case Ratios (All :1) -...
So I had to pay a shop to do my Fj60 power steering conversion as I don’t have time. It was a kit from Iron Pig. My fj40 has had a SOA for years and I have never experienced death wobble. Holy crap I thought my steering blew up when it happened on the way home from the shop. There was also...
I'm about to buy a very nice Fj45. It Says sept 1976 on the tag. It has drums all around and a full float rear axle. Is there a way to know what country it is originally from? I read the Fj45s stopped being sold in the US in the 60's. I assume this is a South American car or could it come from...
I have a 1975 fj40, stock engine. The rig has not ran for a very long time as I’ve been working on it. I turned it over and it ran good. I came back two days later and my garage was full of gas fumes. Under the rig was a big gasoline puddle. There is a steady drip from a connector under the...
I'm putting my front axle back together after doing new gears and an ARB.
I put the two spindle hub nuts back on. I followed the steps to make sure the pre-load was correct on the spindle bearing, 8-12 pounds, to turn the wheel. However I don't really have enough room for my dam snap ring to go...
A few years ago I started my build and back then Classic Cruisers was making the plate style adapter and the drill/tap input shaft, with a nice washer. I was thinking about building another Fj40. I wanted to do a sm465 again or a sm420 to an Orion. I started looking around IH8MUD to recall the...
I'm getting really aggravated with my F#$King front differ gear setup. I ruined through 3 crush sleeves and stripped 2 pinion nuts. I figure I would try a solid sleeve spacer. I did not have these issues when I did my rear, used a crush sleeve. My front axle is a FJ62 with 4.88 gears on my 1975...
I'm re-gearing my front FJ40 with 4.88 and an ARB. I have f@*K up 2 crush sleeves at this point by over torquing. I gave it a tiny little turn and baam, to much. I can't seem to get this right. This last one is at 24 ft/lbs. I think I know the answer to this but is that too much over torque that...
I’m putting in a front air locker and re-gearing. So I have to pull the shafts to remove the pumpkin.
The axle is actually a 62 housing that was extended.
The housing is not bent .
I have the flat spots lined up vertically. I cannot get the RVC birfields out. They come out just a bit from...
About 2 years ago I got my carb rebuilt by a professional. Tried myself and was not happy. The Fj40 ran great.
It’s 75 2F with stock carb. I live a bit north of Chicago. I have not ran my rig this year. I did turn it over 2 weeks back with a jump but then soon died. Left the battery...
Hi All,
I have two 12 ton Torin Jack Stands. I plan to remove my front axle to swap gears and do a locker. I had to do so for the rear to get the differential back in with the copper tubing. To hard laying under the rig.
I’m worried about the weight balance if I put the stands under the frame...
Hello Forum,
First, I have read the threads, seen ZUKs site, watched 2 youtube video's numerous times (part 1 and 2 ARB Fj40 Install, Tacoma ring and pinion install professional guy provides tips), bought a diff rebuild book.
I am attempting, 1st time, both front and back 4.88 Sierra Gears...
