off

I am a vocational teacher at a high school in Wyoming, and we are looking into making an off road tear drop trailer as a school project. I have seen professional ones sell for $15,000. And I have seen homemade ones sell for $2,500 on craigslist. My tentative plan was to try building one for...

I noticed that my FJ is pulling left and right when I'm breaking or hit a bump so I took a quick look at the front end and noticed this bolt has broken off. Looks like some grease is leaking out too. Has anyone experienced this? I'm guessing this isn't an easy repair since it's part of the...

I want to blast and cad plate them, and get the seat brackets PC'd, but I can't figure out how to get them off.

I bought this basket case from @mechag a few years ago and have made some progress, so it's time I start a thread. I have learned a bunch from lurking here for many years and since I've received so much help from so many already, I hope I can give a little back. Here's the history I know: The...

On road the steering wheel on the LC is tight and tracks straight. Off road I notice that the wheel knocks and rotates a bit. Even as I am typing this up it seems like the answer is "no duh" but it just feels kind of weird. Figured I would ask here. How much "play" is too much?

Hey guys, I have read the threads on the dash brake lights but mine only (correctly) is on when I use the emergency brake. I have great vacum now as I re-built the vacuum pump. The brakes work great actually. I even unbolted the booster from the firewall and then the master cyclinder from the...

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...

Any one interested in meeting a family farm and doing some off roading. It's always better having two or more trucks there.

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...

after many years of hashing out the mechanicals with a 4bt power plant, I finally loaded up the 40 and sent her to the paint shop.

...about three hours ago. We were driving down the Fairfax (VA) County Parkway at about 55 mph when I started to feel a little wobble from the back - though it had been fine a couple hours earlier. Then something hard bounced off the driver's window or door, like a rock hitting the windshield...

We are planning to tour mountains in the west with an 80 pulling a small light travel trailer. There will be a princess on board so the trailer needs to be hard shelled with a bath with shower. It needs to be used, as in cheaper than a new one and nothing fancy or SOTA. The main plan is to...

Off a non-running board , flared 80. Getting pretty hard to find. 80 shipped...PayPal Hardware included..one mounting hole is oversized so you just need a washer on that spot.

Guys hoping the 80s expertise here can help me. my 80s wont start now i just get a click but my wipers wont stop either no matter what position i put it in. The water line and pump for them wont work either even though i replaced the washer bottle motor recently. The strange thing is the wipers...

Guys, If you're like me, you REALLY like figuring things out yourself and it feels like a kick to the junk when you get to the point of giving up. Well, when it comes to my 24V 2h, giving up translates to taking it somewhere to be diagnosed which then leads to being kicked square a second time...

up for sale is my bantam military trailer. had it for several years and just don't bring that much stuff with me anymore. was previously sandblasted and painted black, though it could use a freshening up. tailgate is not stock, but made of diamond plate with toggle latches. wheel bearings could...

Just doing the timing chain on my 1989 22r engine. My book says to lift the engine about 1 inch and pull it out. I tried that - no go- lifted it over 2 inches and still no where close. It doesn't even seem like I will be able to lift it high enough to get it out. Does it have to twist out...

1999 Cruiser... ALL maintenance done (timing belt/oil changes/fuel filter etc etc...)... Was driving back home from a day trip to Carmel/Soledad area exploring or wonderful missions with family when we suddenly hit heavy traffic/accident. Wasn't hot (80F) but had the front and rear air on. While...

I'm going to pull the chrome letters, rattle-can the front grill and the badge off the back...so once a year (maybe twice) I'll spend 30 mins and $5.00 for a can of black semi-gloss ...BUT I can't find a thread on any one doing the chrome plastic "framing" on the back tail gate. Anyone? I'd...
