*Forgot to mention I have a set of the famous BobM replacement rockers NOS in the box. Had them for years and never got around to putting them on. Stock rockers are pretty beat up*

Backstory - 1969 fj55 with a 90s SBC and a older AA adapter to older style H55f. Conversion done in the 80s and motors replaced as they wore out. 305 to 327 to 350. The clutch died in a weird way. The springs in the clutch plate wore through their keeps until one was proud enough to wedge...
So I purchased a 150W solar panel kit from Homedepot. I have a dual battery set up and I primarily use it to run electronics and a Ironman fridge. The kit is 3 separate 2' x 2' panels. I mounted 2 in parallel on a modified roof rack in front of my roof top tent. I am considering putting the 3rd...
What i believe is the return line at the steering box fitting is pouring fluid out at the box. I just pulled it out and it looks fine. Is their suppoused to be a o ring or something. It just has a flare that gets pushed down over a ring on the top of the box. Is this right?
I have a 1970 FJ55 but this sees more traffic and the switches are similar from what I understand. I got the truck with a toggle hot wiring just hi speed and another toggle on the washer. I put a switch in and got hi speed and medium as well as washer. When I pull out 1 I get medium. All the way...
I am looking to put a permanent solar panel on my front roof rack but I still want to put stuff on it occasionally. Are there any solar panels I can put stuff like firewood on or strap a small tough box to? I understand I would not be getting juice while it is covered.
Picked up one of the 65L versions from Metal Tech in Newburg OR. I Highly recommend giving them a call if you need Ironman gear.
The fridge came packaged well and there were no scratches. Comes with a Aus 3 prong power cord for the wall and a long enough to reach the back 12V accessory cord and...
So I was poking around d today and noticed my carpet was a little wet. Pulled it up and the the sound deadner whas soaked from in front of the front seats to just behind them. There was enough water and the beginnings of rust that I decided to pull out all the carpet. My plan is to run thick...
So I just got done installing my smittybilt awning to my yakima bars. I just drilled through the yakima bars and bolted the brackets straight to the bars. Is it possible to do the same thing with a roof top tent? I have the smittybilt tent which is similar to all the other ones that use an...
Is it just me or do they look a little ugly? I just got replacements for my worn out KO 33/10.50s and I just don't like the way the sidewalls look. Too flashy like they belong on some kids lifted full-size or a yellow jeep. Hopefully they grow on me.
I have done some research and have an idea of how to fix what I have going on. I would draw a diagram but I can't figure out how to use my damn Macs paint. So I will describe what I have going on. I did not wire it this way.
Current set up
Main battery located on drivers side. This battery has...
I have seen a few threads on replacing fj55 rockers with box tubing. Looking for more feedback from guys that have done this. My current ones are rocked damaged and figured I might as well go tubing. Detail pictures and tips would be nice. here are some pics of my poor rockers.
I know this has been covered but I can't seem to find the right word combo in the search. Trying to find out how much grinding is involved to put 15" rims on a 95 with 4 wheel disks. I have some alloy round hole wheels I was thinking of putting on my brothers rig that are currently on my fj40...
update* the 35s are gone.
I have had it for about seven months and the ONLY reason I am selling it is because my grandfather is giving me his FJ55 in a few weeks and the wife says the 40 has to go. I did not build the truck. Since I have owned her all I have done is wire in some brake lights...
So I have the top off and the sun is killing my wife. She hates riding in my 40 and burns her legs on the seats when she gets in. I wanted a bikini top but did not want to install a header. Since I have a full roll cage I decided to try and use the front bar as the header. I went with a best top...
Tried a search but I don't know the name. The cover over these vents is missing and I would like to track one down. A explanation for why this exists would be nice if someone doesn't mind. Thanks.
