    I'm planning to replace my springs and I have a couple of questions. First this is what I have now from the PO. Stock springs front and rear with 2 1/2 in. lift shackles in front and 3 1/2 in. shackles in the rear. I'm going to use OME 1 in. lift springs in front with 1 1/2 in. shackles and...

    Apple festival car show in Ellijay, Ga.

    Jerrycan mount

    Watched the Hankook tire commercial several times to try and figure out how the gas can carrier is mounted to the car, but there are no good viewing angles. I want to mount a can in that location, but don't want to block the license plate and I would like to be able to open the door without...

    fuel tank question

    I noticed on the '83 40 series fuel tank there are two holes provided for the sender. I assume it's an alternate mounting point, when and why would it be used?

    Fuel gauge recommendations

    Does anyone know which Stewart Warner fuel gauge and sending unit will work in my '83 fj40? I don't really trust the OEM system anymore.

    speedo cable hookup

    Anyone know a good trick to hookup the speedometer cable to the instrument cluster. I'm afraid I may have to disconnect it from the trans. to get enough slack in the cable to make the connection.

    Hood bumper

    I'm trying to find out if there is some sort of bumper available for the hood to rest on when open all the way to the windshield frame. I've searched the threads and can't find much. I know I can cut a hose and slip it on the gutter, but I thought I saw somewhere a manufactured part for this.

    Fuel gauge adjustment

    The fuel gauge on my '83 40 reads only 3/4 full when the tank is completely full. I replaced the gauge and it still does the same thing. Can the gauge be calibrated with the screw on the side of the gauge? The gauge seems to move with the fuel level, it just doesn't go to full. Any info is...

    windshield question

    I have noticed some 40's have knobs on the dash to lower the windshield. MY '83 came with bolts. Should there be knobs that the PO may have removed for some reason or did the later models come with bolts instead? Aggravating little detail that has been bothering me for awhile.
