Broski’s FJ40 Buggy (2 Viewers)

[Broski]

Diff covers are painted and still waiting for the diff vent I ordered from auto zone to avoid paying $10 shipping on a $8 part

100% what I would do.

Same. Fresh oil and go.

Thing are moving slow.
Small up date the front diff looks really clean super happy with that. I thinking have no vent helped with that.

The rear diff not so much. It has a vent but it not extended. The diff oil was nasty brown and I'm sure that water got in there. The oil in the front looked new

The gears look clean no damage or metal in ether F/R but the brown on the right on the rear locker is a little concerning. Looks to be light surface rust.
I'm thinking fresh gear oil and run it.
Thoughts ?

Verify the ratios while you have them opened up. Rear looks fine to me. If the axle had any serious water the oil would have been a lot milkier in color.

Back at it after time off for SAS and life getting in the way.
Spent most of yesterday trying to get gear oil in the rear third after multiple issues with cheap pumps I finally gave up and found this pump on the net at lows 40 minute drive from my house.
Picked it up this morning man should have got something like this years ago.
Filled the third in less than a minute

I need to get the buggy out of the shop so I can get the 80 in there and ready for an upcoming Dusy run.

 

[Broski]

Got the diff breather drilled, tapped & installed. New tie rod ends ( Hiem's joints ) & Hydro ram end installed

All cleaned up

I posted here because I didn't think this belonged in the 40 section.

But obviously there's nothing Hard core going on here, just fix up clean up right now

If the mediators or anyone else thinks it should be some were else let me know

Looks like a fun project. Looking forward to some wheeling videos.

I’m just a newb so what do I know but I that looks like hard core flex to me.
And no fenders, I don’t think they’d even let you in the door over there. Dress code and what not.

If they do, they'll be angry about it

Selling already?!? @Broski

Selling already?!? @Broski

We shall see
I really love this thing, but it's 6 hours to the nearest place I can play with it and the only guy in our wheeling group that had a Buggy sold it.

So really just testing the waters, I don't need to sell.

Be taking it to Johnson Valley in Oct. if it doesn't sell but will wheeling with all full bodied rigs so not really using it for what it is.

Sold and gone, or decide to keep it?
