    Knuckle Centering Tool Rental

    Sorry, I sold that with my last set of axles. Probably in 2012.

    Take-apart door hinges

    Matt stopped by this evening on his way through town to show me these hinges. Really nice idea! It's obvious he has spent some time and money getting the design just right. If I still had a 40 or 45, I'd be all over these. Keep up the good work, Matt! I'd still get a hold of Kurt at Cruiser...

    BamaBleach's FJ40 buildup

    Looks good. I'm glad to see that you're putting that ToyBox to good use.:beer:

    Have your buddy hold your cigarette during the process.

    This carb has CRAWL power!

    what does its sexual orientation have to do with anything?

    are 73 fj40 driveline ujoints same size as spicer 1310 ujoints?

    If you're putting them in the rig in your signature line (the one with the Detroit, the larger tires and the low gearing in the T-case)- you're NOT going to be satisfied with 1310 series U-joints. TOO WEAK! Try to go all Toyota or, bump up to Spicer 1350 series.

    Knuckle rebuild question

    I have the SST if you want to rent it for a couple of weeks. PM me for details. And- you'll want to use the Marlin heavy duty axle seals. Even if you get everything perfectly concentric- they are stronger and more tolerant than OEM.

    SPX Knuckle alignment tool for 78' 40

    The tool should be fine for all disk brake axles. What I'm not sure of is whether it works for drum brake axles. I would think it would, but I don't know that for a fact. By the way, I own that tool and rent it out to people that need it and don't want to buy it. Seems a little silly to...

    hubs on rear axle?

    Yep. Drive slugs. Removable in about 3 minutes. Much more gooder than lockouts.:D

    Beer can in my front disc brakes?

    I'd guess that the rotors are a little warped and the caliper is "floating" in its mount. There are typically "anti rattle " clips that keep the caliper pushed over against the mount and prevent this.

    Is this right - 4x4 Labs Steering

    I've been keeping mine up on jackstands in the shop ever since I got it (in 2002). So far I haven't damaged the high steer at all. Bump steer is non-existent, too.:beer:

    engine swap

    1974 was a "transition" year. It is either a 1F like earlier trucks, or a 1F with some 2F parts on it. You'll need the serial number of the truck to know for sure.

    engine swap

    You want to take out a 2F and replace it with a 1F? Why? This would be a serious step backwards.

    Is this right - 4x4 Labs Steering

    Are those lift springs? It looks like you went to high steer arms, with a dropped pitman arm. There is nothing "wrong" with it- but I do agree that it is opposite of what most guys end up with. Squirrelly on the road had nothing to do with the angle of your drag link in this case. The...

    F or 2F That is the question

    Your username implies you have a 1971 Model FJ40, located in Arizona. If it is the original engine to your truck- it is a 1F. 2Fs weren't available until 1975.

    Who's bumper is this

    Why would you say it sticks out too far? I say it doesn't stick out far enough to function as a stinger. (ie. to prevent a forward roll-over when headed down a steep obstacle.) Just askin'.

    U joint cost

    In my experience the OEM U-joints are worth the extra experience. Yes, there are cheaper choices, but there are reasons they are cheaper.

    2" hitch bike rack bounces like Dolly Parton's boobs on a pogo stick

    For comparison sake- I think we need a video of Dolly Parton on a pogo stick. You know- just to see if your bike rack bounces like her rack.

    Rear diff shaft pin -- removing w/o breaking?

    DO NOT, under any circumstances, burn a Heep in trying to appease the Cruiser Gods. It only pisses them off. If you do, all your future endeavors will involve massive expenditure with mail order catalogs and many skinned knuckles. Too late? Yeah, for me too.
