This thing listed here: Question about attachment to undercarriage
If anyone has one they want to sell me, I'm interested! troubleshooting some vibration issues and someone said to try putting this thing on.
Well, how the heck do I do this? Working in a cement floor garage, not perfectly flat, but i figure flat enough over 12".
Here is my thought.
1. Put it on the ground with 4 equal tires at same tire pressure.
2. Chock the front wheels so they don't move.
3. Make a temporary "jack" that is...
I'm relatively new Landcrusier owner.
I'm learning about the wonderful world of rolling restoration, maintenance and stuffing mitts full of $100 bills into my BJ to fix things. Still love it. Just installed an OME suspension system and now see that
my 81 BJ42 frame plates where my rear spring...
It started out as a simple repaint and has grown from there. I was comfortable with everything that has been done until I decided to have the body blasted. I am worried now about rust popping up in the crevices that are hard to get to. Are there any effective treatments which will prevent...
It seems to be lots of work to remove the entire cab off the body and replace the frame. What about sections that are created and can be ordered and shipped?
We are in the process of doing a frame off Restoration on a 77 FJ 40 Cruiser and we are in need of some advice and parts location of the Rear Sill on the body, a wiring harness to be built I got in contact with one person and he can't have one ready until winter and any other pointers as far as...
For sale I have the rubber seal between the windscreen frame and the body. My new one cost me a small fortune and thend found this in one of the parts vehicles I picked up. It HAS been fitted at some point but it has no damage and is not perished. A quick clean with some detail spray and it will...
i would like to know how much frame there should be in front of the front crossmember. I would like to cut off the bumper that is currently on my fj and replace it with a stock bumper. I don't know how much frame has been cut off previously with other bumper installs. Can someone tell me how the...
I'm not sure if it came stock this way, of if the PO removed the sway bars, but I do not have a rear sway bar or the frame attachments.
I did a 2" lift and along with slight bigger tires, I am uncomfortable with the amount of roll I have now have.
If you just have the frame brackets, let me...
Hey everyone, I'm looking to buy either a 02/03 or 07/08 Tacoma.
I heard recently that they had issues with the frame rusting.
Are they still recalling them and replacing them or has that offer expired?
If so, what can I do to protect the frame from getting rusted?
And finally, I want to name...
I have a new project a 1966 FST. I confirmed as much as I can tell (holes for hooks up by door frames, hinges for soft top doors, strap hardware) that my project is a factory soft top. I have not worked on something this old before. The soft top bows were missing when I bought it. I bought a...
So I just posted in the 100 series forum, but also needing some advice from this forum's vets as well. I am looking at a couple 4Runners that are selling near my area. The first is a '99 Highlander, the under carriage looks pretty good:
And also a '01 Sport which looked really good...
The real reason the frames rot is the water builds up in the rear half of the frame over time. Is there a company who sells the rear half frame of a 60 and are we talking about $$$ It would have a cross tube with the shock studs and c channel. Wonder what shipping would cost shipped to the...
As I spend more time under the LX570, I start to notice things never talked about in this 200 forum. This under armor is probably unique to the LX570. Always nice to see real substance in the sister model.
One of the interesting things is the existence of some seriously beefy AHC system...
I'm a former owner of a FJ62, but now have my sites on a 2001 LC. I'm in the midwest so all I have been able to come up with are great running (as far as I can tell based on a test drive) rigs with an absurd amount of rust on the frame/undercarriage (not surprised). I was looking to spend $15k...
this is the second estimate that I have gotten at the same price. For $8,000, I would get the exterior painted and body work. That would including front floor pans and rockers...both provided by me. Take the windows out and replace with all new rubber, also provided by me as well as new window...
I'm about to do the exhaust on my glacially progressing rebuild. I remember seeing some frame off pictures a while back of a really nice example of twin mufflers mounted behind the t-case. I thought I saved them but over the years there's lots of stuff I thought I saved. Anyone have pictures of...
