Wish we could get all the switches to light up like that....

That is on my list. What year of steering box?

This is on my list too, like in the next month.

I am planning on getting my tub back on the frame early next week, now that the drivetrain is back in. Figured getting the brake lines on first would be easier, so I bent some new frame and rear axle lines today. Need to clean the unions and the hold down clips then transfer to the new lines

Fixed up my front signals today with some donor housings from @Drake2 (Thank You)
I now have all working and complete lights up front for the first time. Even have all Koito bulbs in them.

I've finally got around to installing a high flow cat on my SBC swapped FJ40. Something I should have done sooner, exhaust stink is pretty much gone with two magnaflow 400 cell high flow cat. Running EFI with 14.7:1 afr for idle and cruise.

Something I would recommend if you got the carb / EFI AFR dialed in and still got some of that old fashion exhaust stink.. or in my case wife complains every time we went out for a drive.

70...now just hope getting the seals aren’t a problem! The Toyota dealer said they had em.

“They” say an inner axle seal is the same dimensions as the steering box sector shaft seal.

food for thought

Thanks, I read that on a couple posts too so feel pretty good about getting that one. Toyota just wasnt sure about the one on top where the steering column/shaft comes out. Anyone get that one recently?

Nice to know this 30 year old hoard of signals and signal parts has been finally put to good use!

Finished painting inside. Left floor black from bed liner, but painted the dash and walls with the dark metallic green that will be the outside color too.

Got a first day of 2021 ride in with my bride - need to ride a lot more this year. Happy New Year all!

My heater quit blowing air (on a cold day) so I pulled the motor and put a few drops of sewing machine oil to it, we’re back in business!

Made it finally. No snow in the park so trails should be open.

My battery tie down snapped on my last wheeling trip and dumped my battery onto my exhaust manifold. The battery melted and dumped acid on everything. I had the grab whatever battery I could find at the nearest store - a Walmart 40min from the trail.

I decided I needed a more substantial battery tray and one that was universal enough to accept just about any size and shape battery I could find in a pinch. The end result was 15lbs of over engineering.

Hopefully this will help avoid similar issues in the future!

That wil take care of your cruiser lean.

That wil take care of your cruiser lean.

Unfortunately the cruiser is leaning passenger so this will only make it worse...

Figuring out what’s going on there is next on the list.
