HAMOM Oct 29th.....

[custyota]

Anybody interested in turning some wrenches and getting a 78 FJ40 Back on the road? Darin (http://canuckscruisers.com/ ) has graciously donating his shop space. The shop is located in Raeford (Fayetteville).

The plan is to rebuild front and rear axles. Re-do the brakes in the process. Who knows what else. I will provide burgers/dogs and all the fixings.

Anybody interested in helping out? Thank you in advance

Thinking very hard about it

 

[jdayment]

I will try to make it we might be throwing a halloween party at our house in Fayetteville the same weekend so maybe those interested afterwards can come by our house.

 

[lt1fire]

Oh, crap that might be the same weekend as my halloween party

 

[custyota]

You guys can come out work get dirty and greasey then go the party as toyota grease monkeys? Or a toyota grease yeti for al!

Adam, Got the package. Pretty strange.

 

[custyota]

Strange in a good way? Or weird way? My mom ordered several shirts for me and for some reason after I washed that one didn't fit. I thought it was fitting for business.

 

[krzyabncanuck]

Just how close it is to my shop.

 

[custyota]

What kind of gear oil does my front diff take? How much? Can someone recomend a oil type for my engine.

 

[lt1fire]

Rotella t synthetic. 15w40

 

[custyota]

Really? With 2 diesel f250 I have plenty of that. I will be starting a new thread to update everyone on my progress maybe even a video of it running?????

 

[GLTHFJ60]

I would love to be there, maybe even get some prep work done on the body that will soon grace my rig

 

[krzyabncanuck]

Come on Johnny.

How are every ones brake skills? Going to try to get all the brake lines installed. Anything that you guys recomned be replaced?

 

[fourtrax]

replace anything that needs replaced.

if any of you soft lines are blistering or have a split, you might want to look at replacing them.

 

[custyota]

I will look at em this week. I how do I tell if my master cylinder and brake booster are still good? I believe they are.

Brakes are easy, I built the brake system on my 60.

Whatever you need done, I'm sure the bunch of us that will be there will be able to figure it out.

 

[krzyabncanuck]

Have been known to know a little about brakes. Redo all my own brakes. One thing that is extremely important to me besides steering .

Rigid brake lines are easy, some are still available from Mr. Yota, some of the 60 series lines will work on your 40s axles with a little bending. You can also pull the lines and have a shop make you some new ones, you'll already have the fittings on your old lines, cut, bend and double flare and you'll be in business. I got the braided stainless lines to go from axle to caliper, a little spendy but nice upgrade.

I'll try and make it to the HAMOM, but with the new bambina in da' house I may have my hands full
