    Roll it downhill and pop the clutch.

    Nifty idea for rigs without a radio.

    Mine was cobbled together from leftover crap I pulled from previous vehicles.

    Nifty idea for rigs without a radio.

    I use an old amp and an RCA -> Headphone jack cable hooked to the input. Amp sits in a metal box on the rear fender well. Cell phone does the work of the head unit.

    Early 1971 or Late 1971? That is the question.

    Mine is a Nov. 71 and had the column shifter. You dont have a VIN plate on your truck? How about the build plate in the engine compartment?

    Engines painted

    I used the high heat cast iron paint. Still looks like freshly casted iron after 5 years.

    fj55 mini truck upgrades

    If the pig and 40 have the same steering set up, then all you need is the pump, box and a mount fabbed up from two pieces of angle iron. In fact, I think all I changed was the box and pump, then left everything else as-is.

    To Wrap or Not to Wrap.. that is the question

    Wrapping is a great way to mummify the remains of what once was a good header. I think its always a bad idea for something that is exposed to the elements like these trucks.

    bad looking 90 wt.

    If it will make you feel better, when I drained mine it looked like mercury. I flushed it and havent had a single problem with it.

    Leaking gas tank

    I know! I was thinking a thin piece of aluminum bent up to fit between the tank and exhaust. Some stand-offs could have been tacked to the muffler and the heat shield bolted to them.

    Running sweet at last! Lessons learned inside...

    You can use starting fluid or propane.

    Leaking gas tank

    While you're at it, maybe install some aluminum on the tank with JB Weld or whatever to act as a heat shield, and put in something to prevent the exhaust from moving close again. Something as simple as a short piece of stainless cable to act as a limiting strap.

    Old School Bumper: ARB Bull Bar

    Looks nice. Too bad it cant be made of aluminum. The zip ties keep distracting me. It makes me think of a PVC tube painted black. :D

    1973 FJ40 4bt Build

    Dont waste time with the leaf springs, especially if you're going to replace them. You'll never see them. Just hit 'em with a power washer to knock the funk off and spray hot oil to encapsulate any rust. Wipe off oil when done. Nice heat on your stiffening plates. :beer:

    Hybrid Hard/Soft Top

    This winter I will be doing it. I will be using Sunbrella or an old canvas Army tarp/tent and have windows and hardware sewn onto it, cut to size.

    Need to move PS steering pump pulley 1/4 inch forward. Ideas?

    What is the thickness of the bracket? Can you relocate the pump to the front side of it? How about cutting the bracket where its welded to the plate which is bolted to the block and adjusting it there? When I built a second PS pump mount, I used dental floss to align the pulleys.

    73 FJ40 with clutch problems

    Check to see if the adjustment rod was torqued correctly last year. If it wasnt locked down properly, it will eventually work its way down the thread and wont disengage the tranny as well. Also, I'd just check the clutch to see if your son hasn't run through it yet.

    Hard brake line question

    By the way..you already have the fittings. I reuse mine after cutting/flaring.
