This is a big bang for your buck improvement!
Between the rattling gear shift and the diesel noise, it's hard to hear my 4" speakers. :)
 
Why would you bother to go through all that work replacing those bushings. Just get bigger speakers, an amp and crank it up. Problem solved!!
I afraid the vibration associated with the large speakers would shake the Cruiser apart. :lol:
 
Charles, what's your impression with the FJ master cylinder and the proportioning valve? Do you get enough pedal travel?

The proportioning value could use some minor tweaking ( need a rainy day / wet pavement ) but overall I am very pleased with the modification. The braking authority is vastly improved from the stock setup.

The redneck solution (temporary) for a rattling gear shifter. :hillbilly:
 
better grade of redneck 'round those parts, we used rubber bands and picky quick bags.

looks like the shifter in my '62, I've replaced the plastic bushing with a brass sleeve and it's been good for years, after having replaced with plastic several times.

Onur sent the parts so I just need some down time. Hopefully next week.
 
I'd just leave it like that...................:hillbilly:


I tripple-dog-dare you to do that in your airplane sometime................:grinpimp:

We once put a rubber chicken under the windshield wiper after landing and called in a bird strike. Needless to say management didn't appreciate my sense of humor. I had some "splaining" to do.

Clearly, you are not fully appreciated by the cretins.

My old BJ71 is in the early stages of a frame off restoration. Removing all of the do-dads to lift the body from the frame.
 
did you buy your 71 back?
No, I sold it to a local doctor in my home town a while back. It's got the typical rocker issues as well as rust in all four wheel arches. He has decided to have a local shop do a "frame off" restoration. I'm not sure I would spend that kind of money on a SWB but he obviously isn't concerned about that.

Now this on the other hand, is something I would spend money on even if I had to resort to a life of crime. :)

Hello,

Sounds like he got the bug...
