I ended up doing it myself, porting the box and not the cap is preferred. I think the cap is more prone to cracking on you. It wasn't bad at all, just took my time and was careful not to lose any ball bearings for the worm gear.

This is on a saginaw box, it looks like there are good reference points for where to drill, it's the disassembly and reassembly that looks a little challenging.

How hard is it to do, or should I send it out to have done?

Here's a short video shot from y GoPro. I was the guy in the beige fj40 that made it up and over. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOxJiUa3TwY&feature=g-upl

Good deal, will keep an eye out for WA plates while we're there. We're leaving town Saturday, so figure we'll hit the trail on Sunday or Monday. David

Nah, we're leaving WA the weekend after, figure it'll be a bit quieter with school being back in session. This should be an interesting trip. My buddy will be driving back up to Seattle afterwards, and I'll start working my way over to Wyoming for a guided antelope hunting trip I've got...

Thanks guys. I wheel a sprung over FJ40 on 37" iroks, locked front and rear.

I'm going to be trailering down to the Rubicon in a couple of weeks, and have a couple of questions for you guys that have done it before: -Should I: 1) Leave the tow rig/trailer at Loon Lake, and run the Rubicon in both directions? 2) Leave the tow rig/trailer at the Tahoe end, then drive my...

I'm headed down in September with a few other Land cruisers. Rumor has it you should avoid parking tow rigs/trailers near the trailheads due to theft/vandalism? Any truth to that? Someone suggested finding someone in the area to stash your rig while you're on the trail. David

Does the eco-**** bring the fuel economy down? I'm seeing ~2005 Duramax's with ~100k miles still going for ~15k.

Duraturds? Are you suggesting there's a better diesel I should look at? :eeek:

During the colder months, do they need to be warmed up much before hand? I live within 5 minutes of the freeway, so they'd be hitting 60 mph relatively quickly.

Hi guys, I'm putting on my big boy pants and am thinking about buying my first diesel. I've got a '08 Tundra (I know, I know...) that does just fine towing my trailer w/ fj40, but has a shitty payload capacity that won't allow me to both trailer and have a camper in the bed. So, I'm looking...

Hey James, I had the same problem on my Landcruiser a while back. I was having a hell of a time trying to install a set of Longfields that I bought, and that's when I figured it out. I ended up getting a new housing from a buddy, and added Marlin's gussets near the balls. You could try...

Did you adjust the rod on the brake booster to effectively engage the MC? The pedal shouldn't particularly hard if the booster is working properly. Did you bench-bleed the MC to make sure it was moving fluid properly? Good luck, David

Not a bad price, though you'll spend that ,uch building it up (ask me as one who knows, and also owns a 73 fj40). Get rid of the boat anchor of an engine, disc brakes, and you're good to go! Did you mention if it had power steering?

Gracias! It's a bit dicey getting into the parking garage at work now, but otherwise I'm loving it. I'll be able to enjoy the trail ride in Moab alot more now without worrying about driving home.

Heh, a day too late- just bought an '08 Tundra yesterday! I'll let you know about the trailer though, in case my buddy falls through.

There's always room for one more! :;

The drive down wouldn't be horrible in the '40, just not that comfortable. Plus with possibility of breakage, it'd be nice to have another way home. I thought about buying a tow rig just for the trip, and sell on the way back. However, for what I could afford it there'd be a risk the tow rig...
