Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Checked breather hose and fitting into the diff. No issues with air flow. Must be poor set of seals. Anyways thanks for the suggestions. Going to dab a bit of locite bearing fit medium strength compound on the seal.

Patrol. Non genuine seals. Usually whatever Repco is handing out.

Hi All, This is the second time this has happened to me. First time was on the driver's side, this time its on the passenger's. Typical diff oil leaking from the swivel hub housing. Right, must be time to replace the inner axle oil seal. As I do the occasional deep muddy water crossing :twisted: I ...

Hi All, Rebuilding my front axle and I am at the point of putting the new seal which sits on the back of the stub axle. How do you press the seal on all the way to stub plate with out fouling up the seal lips? Just take a rubber mallet / chunk of wood to her and she'll be right (removing the spring ...

Take a gander at the bottom left hand corner. What do these do? Wires disappear into a rats nest. I've searched google and the forum for hints with no luck. http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/1XuxAZn1U2vIyMDW3pFHoQ?authkey=Gv1sRgCNDunJv0odiPLw&feat=directlink Thanks -Gary I think you'll also find ...

Just doing some work on my new-to-me Nissan 88 GQ Patrol and noted some play in the wheels. Decided to whip the hubs off and instead of a great big stub axle nut I was surprised by the circular nut. The lock washer was also round, with threaded smaller holes same as the nut. A tiny little bolt ...

I just wanted to see how yours handles. Just a quick test drive and getting her up to some speed and around some curves. Yep thats the one I looked at. I'm leaning towards a 90's mid to lateish model. Like you said less likely to be as rough around the edges. I think he has had it for sale for a ...

Hi Mark, Took it out for about a 40 min drive. The guy has looked after the oil changes and when he prattled off the next k's to change it without flinching I dont think he was pulling my leg. He was honest and pointed out minor faults. He encouraged me to get it up to 100 and beyond Over all the ...

357,000 i think. A mate peered through the window. Also its a manual. Service history was by the owner himself.

Looking for some input/advice I've rebuilt my carb, front axle, and replaced tie rod ends. Thats the extent of my mechanical experience regarding my 73 fj40 I am looking at replacing the current flat leaf spring suspension with new 2 1/2 inch lift leaf springs, as it dosen't look too complicated to ...

Has anybody thrown one of these on http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Landcruiser-Clutch-Master-Cylinder-Series-40-45-47-55_W0QQitemZ250024340696QQihZ015QQcategoryZ10428QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Also is this as easy as removing the old one and bolting up the new one? Or are there a hell of a lot more things to deal ...

Thanks Lup for your suggestions.

What I am actually after is a Car Cover. Because I cannot store her under cover anymore.

Hey Guys, Is there a fitted tarp that one can pick up at somewhere like super cheap or somewhere that will fit the old fj40s? Would a jeep tarp fit? I’ve just brought my cruiser home from 2 years of storage (moved from a crappy apartment to a house finally) and I must admit I nearly cracked wood at t ...

the centre control arm on my fj40 moves around causing my steering to be quite unpredictable. any hints on things i can modify to get her to handle a little better? also the farcking suspension who and where can i go to to rectify this? is it hard to change to coils? sydney is my home. I'll presume ...

Hey Rob,

check your message box. I dont plan on goofing with the brakes yet ...just starting to price them. But if and when I do I'll let you know. Thanks for the offer

-Gary

Sounds good enough too me.

Thanks

This question is for one of you guys out there with the Land cruiser body and chassis manual or for those of you who are sick enough to know this kind of info off the top of your head. Whats the recommended torque setting for the nuts to bolt the tierods ends to their various attaching parts....tie ...

Ok then....does anyone know if its wise or unwise to lube the tie rod ends in their tie rods/relay rods?

Waiting to find out before i go and bolt them on.

Yeah I have read about bleeding from the furthest away brake first. Thanks for reminding me. I've got a personal collection of posts and info off site pertaining speciffically to bleeding the old 40's. I just knew the guy was blowing smoke up my arse. The Don Kayatt place is just what I was looking ...

My soft brake lines are shiet. But you know whats even shittier. Is stopping by a brake shop to get an idea of what it will cost to have them make up the hoses because they are trying to convince you that no one stocks or sells them any more for your old shorty fj40. Those assholes wanted to pop me ...

As the title suggested. Is it a worth while idea to grease up those tie rod ends so that they may be just a tad easier to move when the day comes to adjust or to replace? Or would greasing those puppies up make a reciepe for disaster ...in otherwords lubed up tie rod ends making rods even with ...

Its a newb question ..... In my fj40 there is a bearing just inside the ignition. Since I pulled the steering box out i figured since I had the wheel off I'd re lube the bearing in there. So heres my question. Can i get away with using a multipurpose grease or should I use some light oil like wd40 ...

Thanks ...sorry for being lazy and forgetting about the usefulness of the search button.

I would delete this post if i could because of the redundency. Moderator can delete if they like.

73 fj40 going to rebuild the front axle. Ok guys. On the tech section over at ih8mud they have a front axle rebuild site. Its pretty good and descriptive. When it came to the cone washers they used brass drifts. I ve called around and asked a few shops hardware and automotive and neither have heard ...

Ok i've got a 73 fj40 nothing fancy like power steering. So it works off of old fashion grunt work. Heres my question. How do i know if or when I need to pull out one of the shims? It has two of them ones quite thin and flemsy the other is a bit thicker. Neither looked like they have been budged ...

Alright thanks guys.

Its really for him to sort out his blinker problems. So I guess as long as the wire colors didnt change the 78 diagram might be of some use then.


Thanks for your input

-Ahab

Will the wiring diagram of a 78 FJ40 be suffcient to use to help identify wires and what not on an 81 3b Fj40? Or will there be lots of differences in blinker wires and such? Thats mainly what its for. This old man I know is having problems with his wires and doesnt have a clue where to start to ...

thanks for the stats.

apparently they were being used in back in 58
