Cheap rig to wheel on tons:FJ 40 Buggy
Does sound cheap, but with a welded rear and a spool up front, I guess you'd only be able to 'wheel in a straight line?

I ran spool/spool in my last buggy.
Of course it had perfect geometry and over sized steering components so it was not as big of a deal as it would be on a home brew truck.

Throw some full hydro on there and rock out. I don't know about that AX15 though

Already has full hydro
Yeah, it already has full hydro! Pay attention people...
I just figured, whether you were actually able to physically turn the wheels or not, it's still gonna want to go straight. I can turn my locked 80, but IT still wants to go straight when it's locked.
I'm not arguing. Y'all have done it enough that I know you're right. It just seems like a permanently locked steering axle would be a PITA in anything other than a straight line crawl.

Can the glass be installed in an early 40 series door without pulling the door apart?
I broke my glass today adding weatherstrip the hard way since I'm not sure I can get these doors apart.

Bring me a door hinge off of it.
Got a question...have had zero luck with this on two previous attempts.
I have a leak between the transfer case and speedo housing.
I have gotten a new speedo housing that's machined out and double oil sealed.
But I can't make this connection seal up. Get a drip from the seam.
Both surfaces are clean and smooth. Paper gasket only has leaked both previous times I've tried it.
RTV red gasket maker in addition to the paper seal maybe?? I have two paper seals...use them both??
Really don't want to do this again.

Yeah. Damn. What a pita.
I'd be more inclined to go RTV heavy not both.

Age is a state of mind.
Have done the same thing......3 times now. Can't seem to get it to stop leaking. Never used the paper gasket. Always the RTV. Finally, I just learned to live with it. I just don't park in the driveway.

Place RTV on both sides of paper gasket.

Maybe I need to learn to NOT live with it. Doh.....
