    Tell me if this is a crazy idea...

    You got ball and claw in the front and 10 spline in the rear, you will need to replace the front and change the axel shafts in the rear, so you may as well run the ones you have set up with arb's. Considering the time and money I have spent getting disk brakes on all four corners, with chromo...

    How to identify stock fiber top FJ40

    The one non OEM top that I have seen did not have weep holes in the front corners, but then I have seen OEM tops with new rain gutters and no weep holes. My advice is to listen to what southbostonfj40 says because he has extensive experience selling both hard and soft tops and parts, and the...

    Rear Disc Brake ?

    Read Poser's rear disk install thread. In it he talkes about grinding a little off the caliper so it fits in the bracket. I helped a fellow mudder do it this week and had the same problem, untill I looked at his instructions. Now it fits correctly. Good luck Al

    V8 with turbo 350 swap.

    I have the same set up. You will need to address the cooling issue, shift linkages, t-case mounting and drive shaft length and about 100 other things. My only problem with this set up is gearing, while it is great on the road, it is geared too high for the trail. You bounce over rocks and things...

    Next Project - Fixing PO Power Steering Debacle

    I just finished doing this project. I replaced the pos cast iron Downey plate that the PO put on. I used a weld on plate with two through bolts that I sleeved inside the frame horn. BTB sells that plate and they include another to box the passenger side. I used the tube that cruiser outfitters...

    Knuckle Bearing Preload Problem

    Can you get you hands on the SST to measure where and how much to shim your knuckle. Who knows what has been done in the past by others. It is the only way to be sure you are getting it right.

    Rear Bumper Build (First Time)

    It looks like you did a really nice job on the fabrication of your bumper, but you should consider starting over with thicker material. When I made mine last year I used 4"x6"x3/16" so that I could recess my tail lights into the bumper. I did this for two reasons, it provided protection for...

    short sonofa bilst@!n!

    All of the threads that I read while getting ready to buy blisteins for my cruiser said to remove old shocks and completly compress the spring and then measure. Then measure again with spring fully extended. Do the same for the rear. Dont waste you money by guessing or using a shock on that fit...

    Built a new bumper hitch

    When the hitch is part of a bumper that is conneted to the cross member in 8 places, you have less chance of bending the cross member. I do not think I would feel comfortable towing with the hitch just bolted to the cross member. If you bend the cross member it will take a lot of work to fix.

    ORION T-Case Assembly / Mechanics

    I have 4:1 behind an auto tranny and sbc. The reason I got the Orion was lower gearing, I was tired of bouncing over the rocks. I am happy with my choice. Al
