So I've got a set of 4 of some type of old wagon wheels on my FJ40, maybe custom 70/80 Series U.S. Wheels, I can't tell. They're 15x8 with 3.25" of backspacing that the PO rattle canned black. There's no identifying marks, stamps, tags, labels, etc anywhere on the wheels that I can find.
I'm...
**edit** All taken care of, thanks everyone!
I need to get a hold of a single running board stay for a 1970 FJ40. Doesn't need to be beautiful, but does need to be straight. Preferably with the cushion and single vertical bolt, but not required. Price shipped to 87111, thank you!
Up front, I promised I searched! I have an early 70 with pretty flat leaves which I believe are original. I'd like to replace the suspension and lift it, but I don't know how much it's currently sagging, and I'd like to make sure that it's still going to fit in my garage afterward.
It is...
So I determined last weekend what the terrible clunking sound under my cruiser was. Tore the ebrake apart and put it back together, but it still doesn't seem right. I'm not comfortable with the level of side-to-side play, both when it's engaged and when it's not. Is this normal?
Also, the...
First off, I apologize for the leg hair and holding my cell while shifting. I guess don't watch/listen if you just ate. I make two runs, the second highlights the sounds a bit better.
Everything seems fine while driving, but when popping the truck into neutral and/or just holding the clutch...
First off, I didn't do a good job labeling where everything went when I pulled my cruiser apart, so I already understand this is completely my own fault :)
I have a bonus, non-stock, PO-installed, all-white, 12 or 14 gauge mystery wire hanging down under the tub on the passenger side, almost...
Regarding the short length of pipe inline between the water pump and heater core, how is this supposed to properly mount to the side cover? Is there a rubber gasket or spacer of sorts between each of the two mounting plates and the side cover? Are these two side cover bolts supposed to be...
Yes, you read that correctly; her Jeep JK apparently harbors some sort of ill will toward my Cruiser.
I had cleaned up and masked off my 3-spd transmission to prime and paint quite awhile back while I did a bunch of other work on the 40. I finally got around to painting it on Saturday and had...
I did a test fit of my front cover because it looked off when I pulled it. The mating surface sits fairly flat, but the seal housing definitely isn't concentric with the shaft. There doesn't seem to be any dents or bends in it. Help me out with my ignorance here... Is it supposed to be like...
So I'm getting close to being done with my 2F/transmission/xfer case reseal project. I have my transmission and transfer case all done with new bearings, seals, gaskets, etc.
I've dropped the oil pan and most of the hardware from the passenger side and front of the block (no leaks on the...
Few questions for you folks! Sorry the pics are a bit terrible; hard to manipulate a flashlight and iPad at the same time.
1. I still have some residual cork residue after scraping the gasket off (see pic below). It's fairly smooth, but I feel like i should complete remove everything. Best...
Gents,
My transfer case has been rebuilt at some point prior to my owning it, and amongst a few other issues I found, pulling it apart revealed the below. It seems to be steel which has become partially embedded in the middle recess. I don't exactly know how everything aligns in this current...
To start the thread off right, I have a 70 with a 2F, recently replaced plugs and valve job, and a Trollhole carb and dizzy that have been on and running for about 3 months. You'll have to excuse any odd vernacular I use, I'm not the most highly educated person when it comes to carb internals...
Figured I'd pose this to the community and see if anyone has any ideas.
Ordered a new dizzy and carb from Marshall a couple months ago. Decided to install the new dizzy first, got it installed and set the timing with my old carb with the advance disconnected; it ran like a champ. Timing...
So I was getting ready to put the hardtop back on for the winter when I remembered how wet my gear in the back would get every time I went duck hunting. So I decided to pull the cap off the sides for the first time so I could replace the gasket and see what else I could do.
The sides of the...
Need to finagle a carb fan into my early 1970. I don't think I'll need the relay as I'm planning to wire it on a switch. Let me know cost plus the ride to 87111 (Albuquerque). Thanks!!
I have recently increased my frustrating electrical woes (no signals/hazards w/blown fuses) by having my alternator go bad. So I bought myself a internally regulated 94A 12SI replacement. I know that my ammeter can't handle this much juice, so I started removing wrapping tape so I could re-wire...
I'm a big fan of getting stuff done in bunches :) Anything else I should check out or replace while I'm replacing this guy? I'm likely to stick the garden hose in a few water ports to flush some of the crap out, but that's all I was planning on... Thanks all!
