rebuild

Hi All - I rebuilt my '70 FJ40 carb a few years ago. It was the first carb that I rebuilt - so I took my time. The 40 has pretty much sat in my driveway for the last few years as I work on restoring it (i.e. I have not been driving it a lot). However, I start it up and run it on a regular...

How yall doin! I managed to finally buy my dream FJ60 this last Saturday. From a very happy previous owner excited to see someone of my generation looking and longing to learn what's necessary here. In my college days I wanted one of the older J10 pickups or Jeep Cherokee Chiefs from the 70s...

Hello all, What started as a blown head gasket turned into a full engine rebuild, and needless to say, I caught the "while I'm in there..." bug. I'm replacing nearly everything that's inside the engine, but I'm unsure of what I should replace on the exterior. Currently, my list includes: motor...

So the rig is running great...except for a loud popping noise coming from the fuse panel area. It happens when its cold and accelerating or if I hit the gas and open the throttle. Rig is a 10/75, desmogged and rebuilt motor. Electrical system is all stock but in good shape. The popping noise...

New the forum but I thought I would share a tech article I put together. I was busy rebuilding another Hi-Lift jack and decided to do a full write up on the process of installing the Hi-Lift Fix-It-Kit. The kits run less than $20 and takes less than an hour to install. Follow along, let's do...

So I followed this 'how to' fj80 and lx450 ps pump rebuild Got everything torn down, seals replaced then I got to the shaft seal on the inner cover and noticed that the o-ring that came in the Toyota OEM rebuild kit is just slightly too big for the ID of my cap. (Also found out why it was...

I have a spare 3FE head that I just brought into a local machine shop to be cleaned and evaluated, and was told that it needs pretty much everything replaced, including rotators and valves. It is a good head though, no cracks and minimal warpage. They said it would cost around $900 to get it...

I began detailing the rebuild of the 1FZ-FE in my truck build thread (listed in my signature), but it soon began to dominate the thread, so I decided to create a dedicated thread. My '97 Landcruiser died early and suddenly, with only 175k on the clock, when a misplaced bolt got into the timing...

96 Lx450 Well after rebukldig my 1FZ-Fe engine , it's time to slap the trans back on and drop the motor back in to the LX. Upon inspection of my torque converter , I discovered the alignment stem is broken off. I asked a trusted local machine shop about reattaching, and they advised against...

I am looking to sell my FJ60. I had the engine rebuilt less than 5k miles ago and blew something. I have no time/money to rebuild it again for my own purposes but I've never sold a non-running car before so don't know if there is a market and if its better to just bite the bullet and get the...

I scored a used Warn M12000 a few weeks ago, and this is what it looked like: The winch came from one of the city's utility trucks (Energy in Jackson, MS) that was bought at auction. These trucks are usually fitted with winches out of principle, but they are rarely if ever used. This one was...

I know this is probably a well-worn topic, but I'm ready to do mine and would like to order a front axle service kit asap and am looking for recommendations. Thanks in advance.

My 1985 4Runner received the name "Smoke Monster" because of how much oil it burned (1qt/100 miles). This is the first time I have pulled an engine. The smoke monster: Starting to disassemble engine: Upper intake removed: Oil pooled in intake: I have skinny arms, so I was able to...
