question

1981 FJ45 manual steering... Just a quick question about my steering box. I had way too much play in the steering and leaking, so decided to take out the box. It needed it! Seals were bad and gasket was basically gone. Cleaned it up the best I could, replaced seals and gasket. Putting back...

Hi, urgent input needed. Ironman warrantied my regular foam cells with foam cell pros but my mechanic is saying the the shock at the bottom is too big for the lower shock mount. It’s a 2003 Landcruiser and none of the shock mounts have ever been altered. Any feedback, did anyone have to file...

Hi I've torn into a knuckle rebuild on a 84 FJ60. There are grooves on the front axle. They are not too deep (fingernail does not get caught). But I'd love to have someone's opinion about whether I should overdrive (or underdrive?? do I understand that some people do not drive the seal in the...

I have been doing some work for my neighbor on his fj40, he claims it's a 1976 and the axel/knuckle hasn't been messed with at all. The knuckle was completely busted with studs broken off and holes screwed up beyond repair so I bought a refurbished one on eBay for a 75-78 cruiser and the studs...

Hello you guys, I have a leaking seal below Throttle Linkage on this injection pump pictured where my finger is pointed. The pump is on my 3B. If we pull the injection pump to replace the seal then is it hard to re-time the pump when we put it back in? Somebody mentioned a Key Way and that it...

Quick question on my '76 FJ40 ignition upgrade - I installed the FJ60 coil and igniter in the same location as the FJ40 parts and figured out/reconnected all of the wiring except for the two wires to the distributor. The wires are about 6 inches too short. Is there anything special about these...

I read through most of the existing threads about AC but couldn't seem to find an answer about this. My question is this: what should the "power" of the fan be coming out of the vents when blowing AC? The air is cold, it just doesn't seem to have any power behind it, even when on the highest...
