Determined that I need @ 9 quarts of synthetic 75-90 to do front and rear diffs and transfer case on 6MT. Priced Mobil 1 75-90 at @ $11 per quart at Advance Auto. Napa had Valvoline at about the same price. Could not find gallons. What gives?

The NAPA dealer suggested I consider WYNN'S, which he sells to auto dealers in bulk. Never heard of it.

Any suggestions on WYNN'S or possible sources for 75-90 synthetic in gallon containers?

After reading their website, I may be willing to be th Guinea Pig on this one if no one has used it

I decided to go custom since I wasn't too excited about the current options, especially the limited choices for swingouts. After talking with a two 4th generation 4runner guys over at toyota120.com, I decided to go with 4x4 Labs in Grass Valley. He made bumpers for these guys and after seing one of them in person, the decision was made. He's popular with the IH8MUD crowd, and has developed trick rear swingouts for the 60, 80, and 100 series landcruisers. Luke, the owner is basically a one man shop. As you can see from the pics, he pays attention to small details. He's not only concerned with functionality and strength, but he really wanted this bumper to look cool. Anyway, on to the pics...
First thing, rear crossmember chopped...not for the squeemish.

Rear quarter panel protection being shaped.

Tucked up nice and high.

Rear bumper shell and quarter panels finished and welded together.

3500 lbs rated spindle sunk into bumper shell.

Well with our move from the Disabled Explorers FJ Cruiser into the Wheelchair Accessible Van for Expeditions we ended up with sponsored gear that needs a good home.

The first bit to travel is a Tuffy locking rear storage drawer.

If you or anyone you know has a physical mobility issue and you could benefit from a free strong steel locking rear storage solution for your FJC please get in touch with us.

As a 501c3 non-profit we want to help the disabled access the backcountry by 4wd. Selling off a sponsored item would be short sighted short term solution. Instead it will be great to meet a new disabled wheeler and follow the further adventures of this Tuffy drawer. Besides I would rather beg for donations than have to sell off gear that could go to other disabled folks.

The accepting person will have to cover shipping cost as we are all volunteers and donation supported. There is a commitment to keeping the Disabled Explorers & Tuffy stickers on the drawer and sending us updates on your trips & travels for long term testing.

pm me, or email info AT disabledexplorers or call six 02 four 51 six 079

I've had 285/75/16's on from the beginning, but with my OME heavies, it sure looks like I have plenty room for bigger.

What are the con's of running 35's besides some of the obvious that I will need to address with the increased tire size? ]]> FJ Cruiser CREACHR http://forum.ih8mud.com/fj-cruiser/333825-35s-my-fjc.html FJC V. 80 series http://forum.ih8mud.com/fj-cruiser/332513-fjc-v-80-series.html Wed, 11 Nov 2009 22:17:33 GMT Could someone with experience with both the 80 and the FJC chime in on the area of the rear cargo... Could someone with experience with both the 80 and the FJC chime in on the area of the rear cargo area. i used to drive an 80 but it got totaled about a year ago... looking at maybe getting an FJC in the near future, just wanted to compare the cargo areas.

Measurements would be awesome. ]]> FJ Cruiser Boone http://forum.ih8mud.com/fj-cruiser/332513-fjc-v-80-series.html ACC Custom FJC Rear Tube Bumper http://forum.ih8mud.com/fj-cruiser/332311-acc-custom-fjc-rear-tube-bumper.html Wed, 11 Nov 2009 02:53:08 GMT Check out the custom FJC Rear Tube Bumper that we put together for a local customer. ...
