Hi all, so I’m overhauling my rear axle, taking it apart piece by piece and cleaning. Then painting everything. My question is, how to you remove the backing plate one all the brake companies components are removed? It looks like there’s a backing plate that attaches to the axle, then another...

I need help identifying what this peice/panel is called, and where I can buy it. Its where the side pieces of the front bumper bolt onto. The car was stolen, and the thieves rammed something with the bumper and it bent this piece back so the bumper sits crooked now.

Hey everyone, I am putting my Instrument cluster back together and I can't find the small part that holds the needle of the temp gauge. I must have dropped it before it made it in to my ziplock but now I cant find it. Any ideas on how I could make something that will do the same thing or where...

friends and colleagues, I finally got my turbo installed on my 78 BJ40 3B (from a 1981 BJ60) and had it running well when my engine seized during shut down a couple days ago. We’re going to pull the oil pan soon to discern whether there may be a simple fix, but if there isn’t, I am very...

I am going to install an onboard air system. When I look at various wiring diagrams for installing relays on the internet, I get confused. (Apparently I must have understood them at sometime in the past, because I have some extra relays in my tool box !! ). There is a pressure switch in this...

I just wanted to thank Rob and Lance from Iron Pig Offroad for help with my FJ40. I was in a time crunch and they got me out of it. Thanks guys!

This thing was laying on top of the engine cover and fell out when I removed it. Any idea what it is?

The AC lines below my passenger door are showing signs of leaking. I took off the insulation and the brackets and could not find the source of the leak. I took it to a local shop to have the AC recharged after replacing the AC condenser and they also could not find a leak and said the system...

I’ve been stalking FB marketplace for a spring green 40 for a year or so now and I came across this one. I’m wondering if anyone sees any major red flags in the pictures. I’m still extremely new to 40’s so please bear with me. Also, I know value can fluctuate significantly depending on how the...

I have a 1989 FJ62 and I have been looking at IH8MUD for help fixing my vehicle for years without creating an account. Finally registered for an account today and I think it’s going to be much better! I am replacing my vehicle’s water pump (in and of itself a difficult task for me) and I saw a...

Hey everyone So, I traded my 12v 8274 to someone who said they had the factory 24v Toyota winch. I was silly and said ok sure lets do it thinking that it was just a 24v version of the 8274 and NOT some silly rare winch that you cant get parts for. Anyway, before I can it and just track down a...
