    Help identifying 4 cyl engine

    Hey y'all A friend left me this engine as a "gift" for helping him clean out his storage locker. I'm not even entirely sure what it is - it looks like it could be the straight four out of an older mini truck (stout?) but I'm way out of my element here. Does anyone recognize this one? I'm not...

    Pickup Solid Axle - Differences from LN106?

    Hey y'all. Planning some possible axle work on a JDM Hilux camper which is sitting under a tarp, waiting for me to get my sh*t together. I'm curious if anyone knows - how much DNA do these share with the solid front axle pickups and 4runners? Here's a nice tidy high res picture from an...

    TL;DR - what's the angle offset between the top of the spring perches and the CL of the pinion shaft on a stock 8" rear in a '94 truck? I swear I searched first, but couldn't find the number... Hey all So, following up on my last thread about this project... I looked around and settled on a...

    4x4 Camper - Rear Axle Swap, FROR or D60?

    Hey Forum I've come in to possession of a rad RV built on a 4x4 hilux (like a sunrader 4x4). The rear axle is a G282 (4.30 2-pinion). It has spacers and duallie 15" wheels, which I don't like for a number of reasons, and I want to swap a stronger axle in and run E-rated tires. It would have to...

    FJ40 Castle Nut Torque

    Hey all I'm pretty green, and I'm still working through my very first tie rod end swap. I've searched through FSM and the forum, and I can't get a clean answer on what torque to tighten the castle nuts to. There's a lot of "just make sure it's tight and put the cotter pin through, but honestly...

    Correct Tie Rod End for Saginaw

    Hey Mud So I got 3 of the 4 TREs on my 40 done (1970 with a Saginaw). However, when I went to put the TRE in at the Saginaw end of the rod, it didn't fit - feels like the TRE threads are just a little too large. I can only get it in about three turns, while the one I want to replace came out...

    Bought the wrong tie rod end, someone steer me straight

    Hey Forum I tried this once before, but I forgot that my 40 has a 60 front disk conversion. I'm trying to replace the old raunchy tie rod ends, and it looks like the 40 and 60 bushings were different diameter. Can someone who is familiar with the parts point me in the right direction to get...

    Help me identify the right tie-rod end and boots for a replacement

    So I've got a 1970 FJ40, which had a Saginaw PS conversion when I bought it. One of the tie rod ends is super sticky (steering doesn't return to center when I let go of the wheel, which is unnerving and exhausting when driving, and probably not super safe) and the grease nip threads are toast...

    Rear Bench in 40 with roll cage?

    Hey all, I've managed to source some bench seats for my FJ40, It's a '70 so they're the longer benches. I went to do a test fit, to place the mounting holes, and the bracket doesn't sit flat with the roll cage installed. I can see the lumps from where the original mounting holes were plugged...
