    'Bug Catchers'

    ok, ok, ok. As a guy who is "new" to bug catchers..... I am basically doing the same thing as Dizzy. I am making a nice set of doors out of like 3 old doors. What do you guys mean by 16" vs 17"???? I thought all bug catcher stuff was the same. I have the little chrome locks on the bottom.

    My front drive shaft adventure

    The pinion side is Grade 8. The T-case side is metric class 8.8, but they are larger than the pinion side bolts. I agree some drive shaft studs would be better in there, but for now I am not too worried about breaking them, or people looking too closely at my shaft ;) Load psi Grade 8...

    Do you see the problem?

    I would use a BFH to beat the crap out of the cross member... just enough for the clearance. No welding, no cutting..... although you could heat the tube before you wack it.

    My front drive shaft adventure

    DC shaft from a Tacoma. Normally I wouldn't run a DC shaft on the pinion side, but there isn't enough clearance between the pan and the output flange. I don't really need a DC shaft, but it was $40 from the wrecker and it was the lenght. EDIT As for bolt sizes, I know they look odd. Both...

    Omix Ada 5.29 gears?

    up to $109. There are Chinese R+P 5.29 for $215 on ebay. I figure these would be worth the risk for 1/2 price.

    My front drive shaft adventure

    I went a different route all together...... 3speed case, AA adapter, Turbo 400. After pricing out the AA kit to be delivered to Canada, I figured I could figure something else out. I used a 79-81 Mini Truck Female end to Flange on the tcase side to a 98 Tacoma DC shaft to the front axle. Fits...

    Project LandROC

    I am wiring up my 45 from front to back. I will be using a Rebel harness... Which is almost the same as painless. Also made in USA with the same make connectors. I can't wait to see your headlight harness to see how you run the relays. Great work!

    Split Hood Ornament On Non-Split Hood

    Thanks MUD! I was thinking putting a piece of 1/8 Rubber under the ornament to fill any gaps and cut down on rusting and "wiggleage." When I get around to the mod I will update this thread with pics. In the mean time, anyone else have experience with this? Pics?

    Rescued a 1970 FJ40 with Hone-o-Drive (pics)

    Bull put a newer drivetrain with 4 speed and 4 speed case in that rig. I bought the vacuum tcase / overdrive / and trans from him. I needed the tcase, and I thought that I was going to run the Overdrive. I took the overdrive all apart, redid the seals and it works fine, and actually...
