It was leaking from the back where it attaches to the booster. I took the picture after I had already started to loosen up the brake line fittings. I'm going to eventually rebuild the Aisin when time permits. I through the pressure switches back in because I didn't have any correct size bolts to plug up the holes.
 
Out with the old leaking stuff and in with the new shiny stuff. Replaced my factory steel diff cover with the Nitro one. Replaced my leaking from the rear Aisin master cylinder with a new Centec unit from Rock Auto Parts.

I hope you're filling that rear diff by measuring what goes in, not by filling to the edge of the fill hole, like you do with the standard cover.
 
tried to install a header but was denied on the first attempt.

Did you use Teflon tape on the olives of your break lines? Was it a special kind? I see that it is blue. Thanks

The guys at Nitro came up with a neat little trick for that.
If you look to the lower right of the "O" in Nitro you will see a removable fill level plug. It's at the same level as the factory fill. All you do is keep filling it till it comes out the level hole, then reinstall the level plug.

The old one had it so I used Blue Monster Thread Sealing Tape that I had left over from when I installed the plugs in my intake manifold.

Very good....
 
Finally lost the Russian roulette game I've been playing with a dying starter. Totally froze up today in a parking lot. My wife and I pushed it out of the parking lot and thank God the road next to it had a pretty long steep downhill. Pop started it and drove around the block to pickup my wife and we dove home fast. Guess I'm putting a starter in tomorrow. :)
 
Got a little more done on the homemade console little bit of grinding to do yet after narrowing the lid, and mocked up the hinge. Also made the mount w/ a few bits from the old factory console.

Landed my stalking fantasy (have checked on it everyday for 6 years)...neighbor finally decided it was time to sell.
New CCOT tank, changed the wheels from obnoxious 10" wagons to something more fitting, bled the brakes, soaked the engine that had not started in 10yrs and wala.....the third 40 in my fleet. Bone stock, except for the suspension/wheels/tires 77 FJ40


Way to go, your patience paid off! :cheers:
 
Turned over 200,000 km's... Half way.....

Drove, drove and drove it some more.

Minor thing, but I painted my Rampage tool chest and modified a Heep spare tire carrier jerry can mount to hold it:

Nice looking rig Crimson
 
just make sure to put a locking chain (think bicycle lock) on the jerry can handle - husband's jerry cans got stolen from the swing-out in Moab :mad: :mad:
