frame

I've seen a lot on here but not on this particular question. First off, I'm a newbie, first build. I've read a bit about designing for shock mounting, locations etc. This basic article was helpful: Everything you wanted to know about Shock Absorbers - 4x4Review Off Road Magazine I realize it...

Hey Guys, I had my car up on the lift and was changing the oil and greasing the zerks and noticed that the under carriage is starting to rust. I have had it just over a year and it was really clean underneath and no rust. I got the car from near riverside and I live close to the coast in San...

Hi there, I have an 85 fj60 which I have yet to start an overhaul on, it's in pretty rough shape underneath. Has anyone made, considered making or have engineered drawing/plans for a tubular chassis? I have been contemplating fabricating one for my rig for a while now as oppose to patching or...

Hi! Is anyone made FJ43 frame from FJ40? Few ideas: FJ43 is much more interesting for collecting, has more space, more loading capacity, but still capable for off road. As well as a lot of funs start the full frame off restorations, it might be interesting to upgrade FJ40 (were produced...

First off, yes I am stupid. I've been through enough self-hatred and regret for damaging the neatest truck I've ever seen. It is what is is, and my door is smashed. So I was backing my FJ40 out of my garage, and I thought my door was closed. The latch was half-closed, but just enough to swing...

My search skills are sucking today because I know I have seen this before. Can anyone tell me their experiences running large gauge auxiliary battery wire along the frame and into the rear. Where did you enter the vehicle? Did you protect the the wire? How specifically did you run it? Would...

Well, after doing my oil pump seal I was feeling brave and thought I would tackle this 2" control arm drop bracket setup I bought from manafree about a year ago. The brackets fit ok into the eyelet hole, but they don't perfectly align with the frame. But are close. They look perfect, until...

Is there anyone here familiar with the 2nd gen Tundra platform? I was thinking about the Tundra's shortcomings and I kept coming back to the long wheelbase (145 inches for double cab and crewmax). The Regular Cab offers a much more attractive 126 inch wheelbase. Is there any reason why I could...

I recently changed tires on our hundy from Toyo ATIIs to Michelin LTX MS2 to quieten the ride down a bit for some long trips we have coming up, and have discovered that we have a pronounced droning noise at 2500 rpm - which is unfortunately right at our cruising speed of ~ 70 mph. Drone starts...

hello I'm wondering if anyone has ordered the replacement gasket for this cowl/fresh air vent located on the windshield frame of an fj45. If so did you have to grind out the tack welds out and separate the inner and outer piece of the metal to get the new gasket in place. Or of the new gasket...

This March 1970 FJ40 frame came with a project and will not be utilized. I'm not a frame expert by any stretch, but from what I can tell it looks like a great frame, solid everywhere with some light orange surface rust. Selling whole as it sits, or I can part this frame out if someone wants...

I am trying to replace my power steering gearbox. I'm guessing it's all original because the fluid lines WILL NOT come out of the top of the gearbox. Got a lot of recommendations to cut the lines, because really they need replacing anyway. Dove into that this weekend, and I realize the lines...

Is it normal for the frame of an FJ60 to have a stamp that says "FJ62" forllowed by some numbers? I noticed it while rebuilding the knuckle on my passenger side. It's just above and to the right of the axle. Picture below.
