    Light bulbs for Land Cruisers

    Just my two bits, I have finished the upgrade to LED's on my cluster after reading all the great advice on this thread. I tried to take a picture but it is just dark. That is OK with me, just means it isn't to bright! I rolled with green on every thing and didn't cut out the shields in the...

    Question about installing Tuffy Console in '79 Fj40

    Ya that's good antFJ, I have read elsewhere that bending by force in place is not a good idea. But good suggestion for those in a pinch. But... I would suggest if one has access to a torch, to take measurements, remove Shift Cane, make template, proceed, apply some fresh paint, install, add a...

    Question about installing Tuffy Console in '79 Fj40

    Well I am glad I ran into this post. And a few like it... So I just got the 6-1/2" Tuffy Series II Security Console for my 78' FJ40. I opted for that over the 6-1/2" Deluxe Stereo Security Console for personal reasons. Anyhow I also got the proper Tuffy Mount, 73' to 78' - SKU #057. And low and...

    Need Steel Rim Replacment help - 16x7

    Ya Ya Love2Fly, I am picking up on what your laying down. I thought about sending them off already. But being true to stock, I really just didn't want to "ruin" five steelies. I want them around. I have no problem with doing something rim wise and storing the originals. Ya know what I mean. I...

    Need Steel Rim Replacment help - 16x7

    Ya ok love2fly, unfortunately my digital caliper only goes to 152.4 mills - 6" or so but I feel I got a pretty accurate measurement. In inches. I came up with the inside lip of the hubcap that goes over the clips; the diameter was 8-3/16". The over all outer diameter of the hubcap, was 10-5/8"...

    Safety of Stock FJ40 Seat Mounts

    Ok Ok, I have to say something here in case a younger person runs across this thread. I realize the last post was in 2005 but I was trolling for seat info when I came across M-80 story of his fork-lift training :: I have worked in industry for a long time now and still do. I have to re-cert...

Ya great for you my friend. scrapdaddys is fantastic too. I am glad to hear it can be done. I dislike white spokes, or any other color for that matter. I...

    Need Steel Rim Replacment help - 16x7

    Those look like a really good fit Love2Fly. So you did wind up purchasing Summit Racing part number :: WVI-12-670604 ? As this link in one of your previous posts reflects? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/wvi-12-670604/overview/ You mentioned having 62 calipers, and pardon my ignorance, but...

    Need Steel Rim Replacment help - 16x7

    Ha! Love2Fly are those gals not great or what? Well the fact that they put up with us "boys" I guess is reason enough. Now this is very off subject but when you mentioned what your best friend said, [wife], it made me think of exactly what my buddy and I have going on now. Where as we run a...

    Need Steel Rim Replacment help - 16x7

    This is all good news. I contacted Early Wheel and that was a no go for them "right now" they said. They referred me to The Wheel Smith. ??? Odd I thought. I contacted The Wheel Smith, talked with a nice guy named Ed who seemed into what I was inquiring about. He wanted me to "run some numbers"...

    So... Well Just Have To Ask.

    Well those do look groovy scrapdaddy. Definitely post some pics when you get them on. Hearing something positive about Stockton is nice as well. And X2, who is selling the clips?

    Hub cap clip help.

    Ya groovy kiwidog, I thought that picture might be handy. I am going to be in the same boat soon as I am planning on getting some 16x7 rims made up and I don't want to remove the clips off of my stock rims as the rims are in perfect condition. And I do not plan on selling them. So I'll be...

    Need Steel Rim Replacment help - 16x7

    Got-cha... And I am pretty sure that a back space of 3.25" is what a guy really wants. Found a handy chart :: http://www.mindspring.com/~lfry/wheel.htm

    Need Steel Rim Replacment help - 16x7

    Well thanks for posting that link, wow. That's got me wondering about Stockton now. I know some cats on here have also used The Wheel Smith :: http://www.thewheelsmith.net/CustomWheels/OEMWheelsAccessories.html But again one would need to chat with them about the back space. I am going to talk...

    Need Steel Rim Replacment help - 16x7

    Golly right there with ya... Wouldn't it be great to find a 16x7 rim with a 6x5.5 bolt pattern and a 3.25 back set? In just a steel wheel. Even if they didn't have hub cap clips I could take care of that by just welding them on. That would open up a world of tire options for us in regards to...
