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...
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...
Zero miles on most of the parts. Whole package - includes brakes, new pads, brand new bearings everywhere. Brackets ready to set this up and weld it for your whatever. This was originally for a super wide rear axle on a Toyota RV project, but that one's not going to pan out. I know that the lack...
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...
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...

After being stalled out on this project for more ~2 years, and having no line of sight on a workspace or more time in my personal life, I've decided to put my 1970 FJ40, up for sale. I've put some work in to it, and Georg at VH has put some work in too. This FJ is located in Mountain...
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...
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...
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...
Hey forum
Cleaned out the project today, found a bunch of parts which were duplicates, or no longer needed, or have been sitting long enough that I don't expect I'll use them. I live in a tiny place, so gotta keep that storage clear
This includes most of (maybe not all of) 088-100A-KIT from...
Hey Mudders
I've got a set of the "long" bench seats for a 63-71 FJ40
Pics attached. Sold as a pair, local pickup preferred but will ship at cost. PM if you're interested!
Thanks

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...

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...
Hey all! First post, not even a long-time lurker or anything, just getting in to this.
I bought my first FJ40 last week, and I've started to slowly disassemble and triage this great little cruiser.
I got the buckets and their aftermarket frame out, as well as the carpet, and found this...
