i have the chance to buy a 1988 chev 1/2 ton 2wd van with a tbi 350 and a th350 (i guess?) will these fit in my 76 fj40 or do i need a 4x4 tranny? if it will fit, what adapter should i get for the tcase? what about motor mounts and tranny support. i like cheap. also i only have a 2.5" lift so...
i put fj40 front springs on my utility/double atv trailer thinking the front of a cruiser weighs 2000+ lbs. but with 1500lbs of weight on it, it bottoms out. could i put rear fj40 springs on it to give me more travel? or an addaleaf?
i'm gonna order some 15x6 white spokes for the trailer i'm building. but they're back ordered so i want to know the backspacing so i can continue progess. anybody know?
i want to build a utility trailer (about 6'x8' with a 3500lb axle). does it need to be certified or anything? i'm sure different states/provinces vary (i live in B.C). some pics of your own trailer would be great.
i can't find a longer fan belt that is as wide as the original(went to all the local parts stores). i'm looking for a belt around 50" in circumference. how long is the belt for a 2f with a smog pump? this power steering swap has been a real hassle >:(
i got a mini truck pump to put on my fj40, but the pulley is to narrow. anyone know if another pulley will fit this pump that is wider? maybe i could get one made?(i know a machinist)
are canadian rigs totally fawked up or what? mines on the drivers side. to put a power steering pump on my 2f does the alternator need to be on the passenger side? if so whats the bracket look like for the alternator? also do i need a double pulley on my crank shaft(2 belts)?
one set (4) 33x12.5r15 trailrider at's 95% left (went with some 35" mudders) $300. one set 33x10.5r15 bfg at ko's 65% left on 15x8 white spokes 3.75" backspace(will fit fj45 pickups) $350. one set p235-75r15 95% tread left (off my gmc) $175. heres the catch, i'm in nelson B.C . i can email pics...
i'm thinking there's 2 ways to mount the pump.
1st above the alternator attached to the 2 head bolts

or where the alternator is attached and move the alternator to the passenger side and attach it to this lift hook.

a tercel pump?(which model and year) or a saginaw pump(which year) and does it need a wider pulley. i'm cheaping out! i'm gonna start searching the yards for parts and i'm building my own brackets. ;) (screw jt outfitters! $900)
thanks alot

i've been looking at a few plans and theres a couple i like. one is a 28' x 26' 2 car garage and the other is a 40' x 26' 3 car garage. i wonder how much more $$ the bigger one would be and if the small one is big...
is the full kit from jtoutfitters a good price? it comes with either new or remaned box, pump, lines and brackets for 900 beans. i know some will say "i got my steering done for $50" or something, but i'd have a hard time finding some of this stuff in my small town (the lines, good used box and...
