    Early fj steering wheel restoration

    Do you think this is salvageable? If so, how much?

    I was just about to respond with the same thing. Took a look under the hood and no worm joint. Once my wife gets home I’ll do another check on it. I’m pretty confident that the issue is somewhere between the steering wheel and the drag link. From the little I can tell, as soon as I clear the...

    Yeah, I’ve decided on single stage for the paint. I’ll probably keep it the current color, but I’m still planning on doing an entire frame off paint job on it. So ill be stripping the tub anyways And I’ll give the rag joint a check! Thank you!

    I’ve currently got 33’s on it so I’m not sure the mini box option would work. I haven’t looked too much into the scout/fj60/fj80 option, but I’ll give those a look and see. Regardless of what option I end up going, I’ll have to remove my steering box, and adapt the current column or buy a new...

    Lol, well that’s good to know! Just one more reason to go with the power steering conversion sooner rather than later

    I don’t think mine has it anymore. Maybe the PO was smart and did that

    Darn! How much did it go for? Just so I have an idea of how much to keep stashed to the side

    Yep! That’s exactly what’s in there, but it may be missing the pin for self cancelling. I gave it some WD40 and that fixed it right up! I still may replace it eventually since the lever itself is sheered off about 5 inches up lol

    Now comes multiple questions regarding my steering column: I currently have a stock steering column with a GM adapter that the PO installed. Obviously the turn signal selectors don’t self cancel, but they currently take the strength of 7 large Russians to move. Is this something g that can be...

    So after getting the clutch slave cylinder replaced, it’s now up and running great! However, I’ve got way too much play in the steering wheel. I adjusted the steering box as much as I could but there’s still tons of play in there. I also noticed the steering box is leaking, so I figured why not...

    It’ll mostly be a garaged pavement princess pulled out for coffee runs, and the like. I’ve got my Tacoma for offroading and camping.

    I still have to do a little research to figure out which one. Any opinions in which would be the better route to go?

    That's definitely the worst part. The paint is getting redone anyways since this one looks like it was done by a toddler during arts and crafts time. The question is: Do I redo the same color and keep it matching with the tacoma, or do I take this as an opportunity to do something different with it?

    Here are some pictures. Towed it home Saturday because it needs a new clutch slave cylinder. Needs new leafs (and probably shocks) paint will probably get done this winter when things cool down in AZ. And going to replace the seats with a bucket/console combo. Other than those few things, I’m...

    It’s been LS swapped for a tbi350 paired with a Muncie SM465 4 speed tranny. It’s got a roll bar that I don’t believe is stock, so I may end up swapped that to add the option of shakil set harnesses. It’s still drum brakes that I’m planning on swapping out eventually for power disc brakes...

    ignorant question: I’d my title says that it’s a 1972, but my vin# and door badger state 10/1971. Which date do I use when shopping for parts?

    Exactly! Lol, already drowning in researching the first few things I’ll be doing. This’ll probably convert to a build thread

    I ended up pulling the trigger on the second one. After a long day of negotiations and getting it home, it’s sitting safely in the garage

    So I decided to pass on that one. This is my next prospect. According to seller, it’s been swapped for a 350, but he still has the original motor in his garage. Comes with hard top, doors, and jump seats as well. What is it worth in your opinion?
