    80 brake line on a 40 w/ disc?

    Will a brake line (axle to caliper) from a 91-92 FJ-80 work on 79-85 FJ and mini-truck calipers? I'm curious about the banjo bolt fitting and wether this is a good solution when using a backing plate eliminator.

    Looking to upgrade my front axle. Found a used package locally that includes a lot of high quality outer stuff (knuckles,spindles,aisin hubs, brake rotors and calipers) and is offered with cromoly birfs and factory inners for a mini truck. Will this work?

    I've hit the search wall... SBC cs144 alt. upgrade

    I've spent the the bulk of my afternoon searching, maybe I'm just bad at it, but I think I've narrowed down my situation to 2 questions. My rig is a 69 FJ40 Gen 1 SBC converted to an e fan recently. The 12SI alternator (63A) can't keep up after a few months of operation, it's literally crying...

    Bumper spare/cooler carrier build (pic heavy)

    Recently completed fabrication of my bumper s/c carrier. Thought I would share my lessons learned. First I cut off the old junk. Next I garnered these items from EMS offroad. Think I would use Ruff Stuff next time. I had garnered a 2x4x3/16 steel for the main bumper and the spindles are less...

    Do I need a resistor?

    Replacing stop, turn, tail lights with some amazon LED surface mount ones to go along with my bumper build. Do I need to get a resistor for them to work? I doubt they have any kind of resistor in built into them. :beer:

    Nut and Bolt Logic... will it work?

    I've been lost in the forest of fastener nerd-dom seeking an answer to my question. I've found some mind blowing equations through google searches, but in the end I am really working off approximations with the materials I'm using so I haven't found a clear answer. I'm looking to you guys for...

    Anyone running 17 in. alloy wheels with 4.75 BS?

    I scored some used bfg KM3 35x12.50 17 's. Found some wheels I like but they have a 4.75" back spacing. Worried about rubbing on leaf springs. Also not into wheel spacers and afraid of the task of stud replacement. Most of mine have been there since '69. 311 | Vex | Titanium Additionally I like...

    Shackle bushing help.

    Way excited to receive some new HFS grease-able shackles and bushings. I started the install and it is not looking right to me. Been a long time since I've done this. The new bushings stick out about a 1/16" on each side, the shoulders are not in contact with the hanger or spring. They do fit...

    New Fuel Tank, Pesky Fuel Fitting

    Purchased a new snorkel tank made it look pretty and refitted it with some fresh parts. Could not get the old fuel outlet fitting off the old tank, probably because it was a pipe thread wrenched into submission. I'm running a carb'ed SBC with fuel 3/8 lines. Thought I would post up my solution...
