    Brake line locking device... Any experience?

    I think my preference would lean towards mechanical vice electrical. Seems like it would serve my purpose and be useful for parking situations too.

    Brake line locking device... Any experience?

    I normally park in gear, I'm just looking for something that will keep my cruiser in place with the motor running on the trail.

    Brake line locking device... Any experience?

    Yea, I had a fun time this morning warming up my landcruiser. I need a tune up. It's hard to start when it's cold (the engine, it doesn't really get "cold" here). So i was manually operating the carb while cranking it over, and trying to hold my cruiser in place and keep from rolling forward...

    side view mirrors that mount to the windshield hinges

    I cut the old mounting bracket on my mirror and welded to the bottom corner of the hinge. Probably not the best thing to do with your OEM mirrors if you're a purist, but it works great, and they are the "correct" mirrors. They actually work a little better for me being further forward. It's...

    Brake line locking device... Any experience?

    I did a search in the archive but was looking up micro-lock, not line lock, so I missed that thread. Very useful. Thanks for not noo-B bashing me on that one. I'm still exploring my options, but they seem like something useful to have even after my e-brake is working again. I need one of...

    Brake line locking device... Any experience?

    Anyone have any experience with Micro-Locks or other brake line locking devices (b&m launch control solenoid). I'm in a pinch here. My Parking brake died this weekend (I think it might have something to do with driving with it engaged, possibly). I was on the way to the local OHV park at...

    69 FJ40 buying advise

    I also think you got a good deal considering what most people get for $3500. Mine's in much worse shape, and I still have a blast driving it around.

    Post your pics of your clean daily driven FJ40's

    My 40 My dad rescued my 1968 FJ40 from a ranch out in Colorado somewhere. I'm taking a fix it as it breaks approach. Stock running gear (4.11 diff) suits me fine for now. It's more of a play toy then a daily driver, but when I need 4 wheels I drive it, normally I ride my motorcycle. Stock...

    Flat Towing

    I keep a tow bar on my 40 for emergency towing. We just towed it a few weekends ago with no problems, and that was through LA traffic. It definatley feels a little different then a trailer, but cruising at 55 in the slow lane it felt fine. But if you already have alignment issue's I wouldn't...

    30 dollar paint job

    Sorry, I haven't been taking my ridalyn (actually I've never been perscribed it, but I should be!) and I missed the original context of your thread, I thought we were just talking about low buck paintjobs. My bad. Good luck though.

    30 dollar paint job

    Ever think about buying a gun from harbor freight and renting a compressor? It sounds like you're shooting for professional results. Me personally, I got sick of the crappy red oxide primer (that was 7 years old) but was holding up fairly well. I bought a few cans of OD green Krylon at...

    Fair Price for a '76 FJ-40?

    It's hard for me to get used to the idea of newer versions of a classic being worth more then older ones. I obviously understand the reasoning, but being that I've been into hot rods and choppers for a lot longer then 4x4's, it's still weird to me. I thought having a 68 cruiser was the poop...

    So. Cal to BC trip (inland). Suggestions?

    When you said BC I thought you meant Baja California! Man, it's too dang hot if you're not on the coast! But I don't have AC. I don't even have doors ;) I've always wanted to do the 395 to norcal. I've done the stretch through the desert in so cal, it's beautiful. -derek

    Fj40 V8 Swap

    Engine swap, Is it worth the trouble? Hey, I'm new here. I have a stock 68 40 with 31's. By modern standards (or even 70's standards) my performance sucks. I've had the FJ for about a year. Before that I had a 82 CJ7, and my dad has a stable of IH's. I love driving my FJ around town and on...
