Had a full rebuild done on my 2F and am assembling it with a mechanic today. Machine shop already put together the bottom end and part of the cylinder head. What is the best way to check their work? I consider taking it all apart because I don’t fully trust them or know them, but the mechanic...

I need help/advice with my many questions about my FJ40 transmission. I have a 1974 FJ40 4-speed transmission roars (sounds/feels like bearings are gone, comes and goes at speeds over 40 mph) and I had a local transmission guy confirm it needed a rebuild. He said parts were discontinued and he...

On a recent trip back to Missouri from Michigan the engine suffered a catastrophic failure at 341,000 miles. I have to decide whether to have a remanufactured engine installed there, or trailer the LC back to Missouri and find someone to rebuild it here. Any advice as to reputable engine...
Hi there,

Does anyone know how to remove the vane pump drive gear in order to pull the pump apart.
I...
Hey all,
I've been rebuilding my engine, and while the parts were at the machine shop I started work on the carb and dizzy, rebuilding the carb, and following the 'poor-man's recurve' linked here. After I got the dizzy apart, I noticed the shaft bearing didn't spin smoothly, and was audibly...
Rebuilding my Warn coarse 6 spline locking hubs and the Warn 7309 service kit orings aren't even the right size 😤
I believe these are Warn 28781 hubs just wondering where I can get the proper parts, since the original oring is shot. Plus I'm missing a .40mm wear shim for the one hub, pretty...

We brought our troop just before we went back into lockdown (Melbourne, Australia) and had strict 5km limits on where we could travel to. We have since relocated 200km to the...
Has anyone else suffered complete bearing failure on their 4X4Labs rear bumper swing out? Discovered my spare tire swing out was super loose after a trip. Eventually accessed the spindle with a lot of hammering and screw driver prying. Turns out the bearing rollers turned completely into sludge...

Hi all,
I'm looking to do a partial rebuild (pistons only) of my 12ht 390k with suspected blow by. After researching the wear and tear of worn pistons and rings and potential damage caused, it seems Alfin insert pistons are the way to make the most impact to durability and may be possible for a...
I'm finishing up a rebuild on my front hub, and I'm at the point of adding the thrust/claw washer then the nuts.
I tried spinning the brake disc to check how much resistance there is and to spread the bearing grease about, but now I'm concerned about how much there should be after coming this...
Well I just bought the slowest vehicle I’ve ever driven. I’m convinced I bought a tractor and I love the damn thing. I’m determined to keep this iron pig rolling over the mountain tops of Colorado. I bought it from the original owner and it’s still stock. Before I can trust it in the backwoods...
G'Day,
I'm currently rebuilding my front differential with new bearings and have now put everything back together for the first time.
Quit the effort. I now get why shops usually put this off or charge four digit prices just for the labour...
Either way: Backlash and preload are perfectly...

It's a relatively simple set-up: an axle, attached to parabolic springs by u-bolts, with shackles to the rear, and...
