    What parts are used on rear disc conversions?

    My 1972 FJ55 has a FJ7x full floater with rear disc brakes. The conversion was done at Man-a-fre when the Cruiser was owned by the owner of Man-a-fre. Anybody know what type of rotors and calipers are used in that particular swap?

    Can you rebuild a NV4500 yourself?

    So my NV4500 died on the way home from SnT yesterday. It went from running smooth to kicking out of gear, then it blew blue smoke through the top and started making shrieking bearing noises.

    My clutch was beginning to act up, the pedal was getting softer, so I knew this was coming. I just needed to get through today :lol: I bled the system yesterday, but it was no help obviously. The pedal goes to the floor with little resistance and the slave cylinder barely moves. There is no...

Closed, it adds 7" to the height of the trailer (26" of usable space) and open, it is 73" tall, enough so I can stand :D I want to sleep in it and also be able to cook in it during bad weather. You first lift it with the scissor mechanism then bolt in the...

    Sewing canvas?

    Has anybody sewn their own canvas covers? What's involved? Will a regular sewing machine work or does it have to be an industrial size? How does one waterproof the seams and fabric? What's the best source for bulk canvas? I know that you need to pre-shrink the canvas before using? I want to...

    Have a line on a whole lamb

    The wife was offered a whole lamb raised by people she knows. They would slaughter it and deliver it in whatever form we want, ie ground, chops, whatever. They want $375. Is that a decent price? I have no idea how much meat that gets you.

    I made a transmission adapter for my floor jack

    After getting your guy's advice, I decided to make my own transmission adapter. I can bolt it to the mounting area on the rear of the tranny. The arms will keep it steady and the angle can be adjusted using the carriage bolt.

    I need a transmission jack

    I have to do the clutch on my pig. The NV4500 and transfer case are just too heavy to manage, so I need some sort of transmission jack. Is Harbor Freight my best bet for a cheaper one? I need around 24" of lift.

    Door weatherstrip - I think I found something better

    Like everybody else, I ordered the JCW door weatherstrip that snaps onto the door frame. The foam is too thick and causes problems on one of my doors. McMaster-Carr has all the edge weatherseals in tons of sizes :eek: Styles 2 & 3 look great.
