    I’m the third owner of my 1996 LX450. I knew she needed TLC when I bought her and am slowly fixing her issues. This winter’s project is swapping in OEM locking axles. But before that, she needs to stop marking her territory/I am removing the factory anti-rust system. Last night I tackled the...

    Dobinson 3” tapered install

    Pretty straight foreword. Rear is easy, disconnect the sway bars, droop the axle on one side and use a jack to flex the other side. Front is a bit more involved. I originally tried to install without loosening the brake lines. Gave in and disconnect the brake lines on both sides at the frame...

    Welder upgrade

    Hello everyone, If this is the wrong place, please excuse the ignorance. I have used a "cheap" Chicago Electric welder for the past 10+ years. It has served me well, but I think it is time to upgrade. I honestly am uneducated when it comes to the differences and brands available. Here...

    Hello

    I was advised of this board by jfg80 and am finally saying hi. I am new to the FJ ownership, but this will be my 3rd vehicle build/resto. I purchased 1996 LX450 in need of some TLC in November. I am currently in the middle of a front axle rebuild, gaskets, bearings, flipping birds, etc.
