question

I removed my top for the first time today and want to start working on the weatherstripping. I have a 67 FJ40 and you can see by this picture that the PO did not remove the top when they painted the rig. Nice eh? What I want to do is use weatherstripping to cover up the edges it but I noticed...

hello, i have a 1967 fj40 and im trying to remove the transfer case. now i read how i should undo the bolts and slowly back it out with a prybar which is what happened but my gears are still on the shaft and i cant get the case off. do i have to seperate the part i highlighted in a red circle?

I am going to buy 5 16in. split rims that are from Saudi. Can I put FJ40 hub caps on these rims?? The rims came off a Saudi FJ45. I believe that he has 4 more that he will sell also if anyone is interested. My rims are coming with the original Saudi tires. The other 4 he has will not have...

So I picked up the piggie in Ft. Collins last week, the white one that belonged to TJ's old neighbor. Crusty, but runs and drives nicely,and the interior is very nice. I promise to start a build thread soon! Anyway. The battery was dead, so a few days ago I jumped it, and let it run to try and...

Howdy, Plan on acquiring my uncle's 67 FJ45 (edit: build date is 1965) LWB Cruiser he purchased new. From what I understand, the original engine is out and has been replaced with a period correct F motor. He still has the original engine but it needs rebuild. Truck is NOT running and has...

Hey all. I fit my boost compensator, played with the timing a bit and been trying to tune fuel my 5lt injector pump and have run into some interesting problems. When the engine is cool/cold it seems to run pretty well. But when Ive made it about a mile or two and the engine is closer to temp...

This weekend I hope to get time to drop my fuel take to clean it out. (hasn't ran in 13 years) I saw a few youtube videos of people using carb cleaner to clean out the fuel lines. Is that what the Mud community suggests on the FJ60's and where should I start? I was guessin at where the fuel...

I was looking at a chart on Fox shocks and something dawned on me. But please correct me if i am wrong. On full compression the suspension should hit bump stops first, right? I would think that a tire rubbing or a coil spring binding would be bad right? So if running factory bump stops and...

So i notice the sides on my 42 seems to flare out down in the rocker area. No clue if this is normal or not. Ive never seen another cruiser to compare this to. I think i recall my 67 looking the same way.

My Y pipe has bit the dust, as well as showing symptoms of bad cats. I ordered The Magnaflow 23120 and the matching second cat and I'm hoping to install them later this week. Here's my question: What bolts do I need for the cats? Does the kit come with the ones that I need? Can I cut the heads...

I just got my winch in the other day and immediately clocked it for install in an arb bumper. After I was done I noticed about 1/8" of side to side movement on the spool. Could be 3/16. Is this normal? Everything went together how it should. I didn't pay attention before I started...

So, I've really been focused on 2006-2007 LCs because 230 (or 235) hp vs 275 hp is about a 20% boost. That's pretty significant. But is also VERY limiting in terms of available vehicles during my searching, and most will have other "features" I'd rather not have (NAV and AHC). So, is it possible...

I have already replaced all of my speakers and subwoofer with suggestions from the forum and they work great. However, the sub being the size of a biscuit leaves it a little lacking to say the least. I found an old sub box with 2 10 inch subs that I had sitting around and I just had them...

Objective: I would like to install a 2"-3" Shackle Lift on my Pig. I have a bone stock FJ55 Survivor and I'd like to keep it relatively stock (within reason).... I installed 33x10.50s this week which fit great for "street use" but I'd like to do a shackle lift so there won't be issues with the...

i may be going crazy but ...... im installing a 87 2F into my 77 FJ40 for the life of me i cannot figure out where the rear engine mounts actually atach to the engine are they different everything i have read said this engine bolts right in many posts on that here on mud see pictures

Hey there Mud, I have a 1985 fj60 I'm slowly getting back on the road. Short story is... it was parked in a garage 13 years ago or so shortly after having the engine rebuilt. There it sat ever since. Doing plugs, wires, carb rebuild by Mark, new filters and fluids. Drained the fuel tank and the...

My son and I are in the throws of installing his rebuilt engine. We are trying the EGR and Pair delete. He now has a question. After reading all the post and threads we have hit a wall. We have pulled everything from under the intake manifold. Looking at the fuel pressure regulator, there is a...

Does anyone have a good picture of the center wiper/weatherstripping piece for the side cargo slider windows? Looking to determine if the one used in the 80 series is similar to that of the 60/70 series. Thanks for any help.

I have an opportunity to purchase a 1983 FJ60 with original 147K. The truck has been used as a farm truck for many years and stored indoors. It is owned by a Toyota mechanic who has put a new clutch, new suspension parts, tires and brakes. Mechanically, it is VERY SOLID. No rust on the frame...

Slowly but surly ticking things off my list. 06 LX. Atlanta has had a pretty good amount of rain. I have noticed water in both the driver and passenger floor areas. Not a ton but enough that it pooled on my Weathertechs and dampened the carpet underneath the mats. On one occasion, I noticed the...
