The Camel 1995 FZJ75

Nice clean looking truck; no dings and a straight bed is a major coup. Great to see it make it Stateside.

@wngrog Is that the sub tank fuel filler under the tailgate? First time I see it there.

10 years in the cooler. Ouch.

Who’s doing the build? Tolleson and Rob or Grogantor?

Anything that goes between you and the ground is worth getting quality.

Tires, matresses, shoes, etc.

Wheels and tires look great. Are you planning on doing a lift too? I'm in the middle of deciding on wheels, tires and lift myself for my truck.

Make sure to get the 80 series style versions so the scallops on the hub match.

Any particular reason you chose the Ironman over Dobison's, OME, etc?

Because I sell a bunch of Ironman product on 100 200 series. The foam cell pro shocks are really nice.

I found this thread from the Obama era

Which free wheel front hubs will fit post 4/94 FZJ-80 without modifications?

Best I can determine from reading through a bunch of old threads on this subject it appears that the Toyota/Aisin 43530-60042 free wheel hub is a direct bolt on to a US spec FZJ-80 that was manufactured ~5/94 onward with the longer 246.5mm birfield stub shaft. Can someone confirm that is the...

You never see them in Saudi. Looks odd on a 75 pickup or Troopy. Looks right at home on a 40 or Bronco though.

It’s because they don’t know any better.

All of the ones I’ve worked on had about 1/10th the amount of grease in the knuckle. Not sure what’s up with that.

Well guess you can count me amongst the ignorant then. Both of mine had grease in the knuckles and I recall topping them up but they weren't that low. Pretty sure the inner seals are gone or going on the Troopy though as I'm getting some weepage through the knuckle seals.
