There's actually a few hard to find parts out there for the 40 that people have been nice enough to design and post in the internet, free to download and print. The 3D printing community is pretty cool like that.
Hi all,
I thought I'd share something I resolved this weekend.
I have been having trouble with the PCM on my LS powered FJ60 for a couple years now and kinda gave up until recently. The smog shop hasn't been able to smog the vehicle cause they cant read the PCM with their equipment. The most...
I found out yesterday my old iPod that I had connected to my stereo has been interfering with the PCM. Which is why they weren't able to connect to it at the smog shop and why I couldn't connect via HP Tuners either. I didnt believe it till I saw it but its a widely documented problem I guess...
Am I the only one that sees having AC in a 40 is like a screen door on a submarine, then again I rock half doors and a bikini top year round. Also I love when a shop admits their flaws and works to make it right. Thats definitely worth something. Also also worth mentioning I am a happy owner of...

You may be right cause I found some of the cage piled up in the rear cover. Nevertheless its all buttoned up and rebuilt so now its on to other things, like a leaking radiator and a misfire due to a bad plug wire, and lastly some odd metallic clank from the passenger side immediately after...
Never rebuilt the t case. assumed it was fine. The car had a small block chevy with a th350 and an AA adapter to the stock 3sp t case when I got it. The adapter uses a housing between the trans and t case with a spud shaft in it. Its not a bad conversion, but I suspect maybe it was installed...
Thanks for the advice. The upper boss isnt cracked but rather looks cut for some reason. And yes the rear cover was siliconed on, I'll make sure to mind the weep hole. The oil was kinda bedazzled but not horrible, I've seen worse. I'll check the bushings but I plan on replacing them anyway. And...
Hi all,
So I am just finishing an LS swap into my 71' I purchased earlier this year (in boxes) and went to test and tune when I noticed a strange grinding sound, which happened while moving or with t case in neutral, meaning something wrong in the t case. So after pulling the rear cover off I...
