    1HZ install into a 1978 FJ40

    for sure PS fluid in the steering system can make leaks/groaning worse down here, there are Castrol distributors who have a fancy machine that hooks up to the reservoir and pumps the old fluid out, fills with some sort of hot cleaner, then drains/fills with new fluid. Very nifty. The last...

    x2 on nutserts. they are just plain cool. probably especially good in fiberglass.

    didn't realize that the body was all custom. Wow. Would have enjoyed being a fly on the wall for that part of the project. Fiberglass construction interests me, but seems a little like voodoo... probably just fear of the unknown. It would be wonderful to know how to build decent (if not...

    on the swing-out limiter, keep an eye at how low that SS cable loops. it will fall right about behind your shackle, from the looks of it. A sturdy branch could rip the hardware right through the door's bottom if it gets caught in that loop. somewhere out there I've seen someone use a gas...

    if you can't find the head rest stuff up there, give me a part number and I'll call Toyota Costa Rica. We still get 70 series rigs at the showroom. No idea if the part is available, but if I end up @ the dealer, I'll take a look. btw: there are several 40s in the Bay Area. You might call...

    border officials. I'd like to say that I understand that they have a tough job, but mostly I think that the job attracts a certain personality and that I generally have a hard time getting along with folks who have that personality. I've tried being nice, I've tried being rude, I've tried...

    congratulations, Wayne! You finished. There is always room for doing it better, don't sweat that- it looks great. I'd love to have the time/$ to try something similar someday, doubt it would come out nearly as well. Thanks for sharing

    shoot- I just realized that I'm so accustomed the excellent stuff, that all I really commented on was the thing I didn't like. My bad, Wayne! I love the little steplet behind the fender-- I'm short, so being able to clean the windshield and whatnot .... is good. The tape on the wrench-...

    Super-impressive rig. the front bumper is the first component that underwhelmed me (actually, wait, blinker guards were first, but that was purely aesthetic and I can see why they are what they are) Why did you decide to go with the rock-catcher front bumper? Seems like it'll hit before the...

    looking good. that wiring looks like a headache. the locker switch ended up looking better your way than the way I had suggested-- the "disengage" wouldn't fit between the mounting bolts. Good call, Wayne. GREAT decision on the kick vents. If you can put some sort of screen on 'em that's...

    is the redline on an hz that high? 134 in a lifted 40, I suppose that I'd be worried about a lot more than just the motor at that point!

    wayne, it is looking great. very nice attention to detail. did you consider switching the orientation on the rocker switches for the lockers? to me, it is more intuitive to push the rocker towards the light to make it illuminate (and hence, lock). Small, small difference, but I think better...
