Hey, is there a special technique that i need to use to get this oil pan back on? because i cant get the filter down under the fin and there for can not get it up on to the block

any help would be tops

thanks

andrew

I think the caster angles are have different effects on different cars... i have a 40 series and if the tyre pressures are low.... i can barely keep the old girl in the one lane when im accel hard then when i come off the gas i shoot strait over to the otherside of the lane, quite a nitemare really ...

The extended shackles will help, they will give you 1 inch of lift and they will also increase the amount that it can flex up.

Andrew

hah... sorry im thinking this would be a shocking mod.

petrol munchers as it is.

why not save the money on the turbo and get a V8 or something to put in it?

just my 2c

andrew

shackles sit no where near 45 as they are standard 40 springs. Height is increased only slightly but its still noticeable. And the flex is still limited because i keep breaking the truck and have to rep[air other stuff instead of getting new shocks. but i want to go spring over soon... so they can ...

Well i have found why i can not run it in the position as i run on gas chassis rail to chassis rail in the rear so the muffler needs to sit under the passenger seat god damn it. Oh well mayb e i will get a tube rear for it and bring it up out the top like Daz... now how to learn to weld and a pipe ...

Yeh, i have to get my muffler moved... i keep smashing it to bits... already got a massive dent in it and its only 1 week old... where do you run it?

Andrew

ddTHanks, all good things to try... my wheel alignment is out anyways so i will get that checked out anyways, and the alignment pins are pretty easy to check so i may also check that. Now the reason for the extended shackles was that it was a cheap lift, i will take them out when i give it a spring ...

thanks guys i will get it down to the shop some time shortly and get them to test it and get those caster changers if i need too...

thank alot

andrew

yeh thats exactly trhe same as me, heavy accel and backing off engine braking.

shackles are both front and rear, and i will have a look around at those caster things

thanks heaps

Andrew

I am running 2" entended shackles from snake racing i have poly bushes in the rear and rubber up front. rubber bushes are probably not in the best state now, and the leafs i have opened all the little bracket things to allow the springs to twist a little giving a bit more flex. Just wanted to make ...

Hey need to pick some brains... In my 40 when im accelerating the car pulls to the right but when i let completely off the accel again the car shoots off over to the left... i know my tie rod ends and stuff are pretty worn and i need to replace them? could it be that? or is it likely to be somthing ...

yeh DRS i wanna get a lokka for the front of my 40 too... how does it going with tighter turns?

sorry about the hijack.

Andrew

I think i must have landed on a rock and put a wopper of a dent in it.

hey just wondering if there are any cheap places in australia that i can order a prop shaft for my 40 onlinje? its a 2f with a 5 speed and a late model xfercase.

or maybe if anyone has a spare one around they wanna get rid of? (wrong section i know but thought i might try my luck).

Thanks

Andrew

just had a look on my '84 40 and i dont have a bash plate just the cross member? here are some pics if you like.

not very good shots but hopefully these might help?

Andrew

that sounds pretty good i think to be installed to? from the U.S you can get lockrites from about $400Aus

so $500 installed sounds pretty fair i would think?

Andrew

i recond you should just use your choke like most of us old car users do

Thanks for that, i will give it a go with the jack, looks like you got it back pretty strait?

when you guys cut the sills did you use a grinder? just trying to work out the best method to cut it.

Cheers

Andrew

I have pulled the step off today and pulled the sill back out as much as i could by hand, there is ba brake line and a feul return line on mine which are both in the way, maybe i will just leave the sill pulled out as much as i can... and get some sliders made up of round tubing (like the jeep ones ...

Has anyone got pics of chopped down sills on a 40 they could post for me? both from the side and underneath?

thanks

andrew

Hey, Both the sills on my FJ40 have been bashed to the crapper by stupid rocks as most of the time i think my 4bie is about 10 times higher then it really is... Has anyone had these sills cut out and replaced by checker plate? did you do it youself? or did a shop do it for you? and what was the cost ...

do you know of where to get one of these from? and do you happen to know of the price?

you should try the simex muds... very cheap and far better then the BFG's i rekon... i aint even put a cut or anything in the sidewall unlike the bfg's a new tyre everytime i went out bush.

hey people, any help would be good thanks. my gearbox keeps taking the oil from my xfer case i believe... apparently it is a problem that alot of 40's have? its a 5speed yoto box... there is apparently a pipe that you can buy that will level out the oil in both the gear box and the transfer case ...

Brakes is spelt like this.

not like breaks

that is all...

thankyou.

saw 2 posts and couldnt help myself sorry

pump them up to 50 and wait for them to go back down... and then pump them back up.

nah... did not test it wet tho i supose i should.. how much oil should i put in the cylinder when i check it? i only had a MAJOR service done not that long ago... and i said to do everything it needed... they done the tappets and stuff should they have checked the rocker clearences then too? i would ...
