    chevy springs in rear of cruiser (63")

    The only issue is going to be the length. It is going to stick way back there. I had some for my Mini and I remember thinking that they were awfully long. They also have a decent amount of arch so if you are going SOA it could get tall pretty quick. Just my thoughts, ROB

    Headlight Switch Interchange?

    Hello I have a 72 FJ 40 and the switch is getting cranky on the headlights. You have to wiggle it sometimes and then it works fine. My question is this, I have a 75 Cruiser swtich from my last FJ. Will it interchange? Also, is there any practical way to repair the existing switch...

    T-case rebuild kit

    I went through a place in Portland, oregon called Transmission Exchange I believe. My 3-speed kit was under a $100.00 but that was a couple of years ago. Have a good day, ROB Here's the link. From what I remember, it was best to call. Link: http://www.txchange.com/

    Snow Plows???

    The truth is that a long time ago I built a CJ-5 with all Toyota pick up parts and 38's. It was a snowmobile wanna be. I chose the name and it has stuck with me for over five years. BTW- that was a decent Jeep, because it was all Toyota underneath. No breakage, nice brakes and I could...

    Snow Plows???

    I'm not trying to be banned for bringing up the J..p word, but look at my screen name........Anyways, I have been using the Full Size J..P truck to plow with. It does very well, it is easy to turn etc. And cheap, real cheap. I built my own plow using new steel and have well under $500.00...

    Rochester 2GC -Junk?

    Ok. In my little bit of research, it is looking like stock is good. I had a stock 73 years ago that ran real good with the stock one. I'm just wanting to know what people have experienced with the Rochester. There must be some reason why they made the kit to adapt it. Thanks for the...

    Rochester 2GC -Junk?

    Good Morning, I have been working towards getting my 73 FJ40 on the road for several months now. I have most all the systems in the go mode, except for carburetion. The 2GC that is on it seems a bit cranky. I've done the usual pull the cover, adjust the float etc scene. I'm wondering...

    Windshield Frame Question?

    I have a 73 Fj40. I was preparing to replace the glass when I noticed the frame looked slightly askew (sp). I ran a 4' level accross the bottom of the channel. It was straight as could be. When I ran it accross the top it was in about 1/4" or so in the middle. It is even in the area that...

    Starter Interchange ?

    I just wanted to update on the starter. It went right on and really cranks....wow! The other one would hardly turn the engine over, but this one spins quite fast. I was able to stretch the starter solenoid wire and otherwise it went well. Thanks again, ROB

    Starter Interchange ?

    As always great support. I appreciate your help. I did a search, but I wasn't a 100% sure so I asked. I ordered one at Napa today for $97.00 with a small discount. They accepted my other 73 starter as a core. My 73 should hit the road by early next week. I'm getting excited...

    Starter Interchange ?

    I have a 1973 FJ40 with a bad starter. I am looking at a 1987 FJ60 starter as a replacement. The only thing I need to change is the length of a wire, correct? Otherwise it is a direct bolt on? It doesn't matter if it is an automatic or a standard trans FJ60? Thanks, ROB

    new detroit owner

    I always roll in to a corner while gently letting off the gas, and then go through and gently roll it on coming out. No corner drama this way. The main thing I learned from driving with one daily on a short wheelbase with 38's was to be gentle. I even drove it in the ice and snow daily...

    FJ 40 Shackle Bolt Diameter?

    My understanding was that the 80 and up were 18mm like the mini-trucks and that the olders were smaller. I'll check out the SOR catalog. Thanks
