Happy Trails Ole Blue.

That would make sense. The 62 that this was pulled off of was full of hokie s***. Guess I'll spend the coin and get the u-bolt flip kit from 4+...

That happened because the ubolt nuts were tightened to the FSM spec — which is only relevant for stock springs and ubolts. When everything is stock, the nut bottoms out at 90 ft-lbs or whatever it is and can’t screw down any farther because...

I got $5 that says either air in the system (I've seen this persist far longer than I thought possible) or the temp sender.

Just installed these FJ62 axles under my FJ60 to reverse a SOA lift, was tightening the u-bolts and noticed that the PS u-bolt perch is facked. I was thinking of running a bead to help brace everything or maybe just install a u-bolt flip kit? How...

LS is significantly lighter than a 2F and 3FE - the 2F weighs around 750 with the average LS weighing around 450. 3FE is a tad lighter than the 2F.

I’d be game to shuttle something at least part way.

Hey Dan, I know this is frustrating news but sounds like you have some options. If none work out let me know. I have a 2F crank sitting in my storage cabin. Glad to get my machine shop to take a closer look at it should you need me to.

I've been replacing bulbs with LEDs, (turn signal relay updated) thanks to help from posts here and a nice chart, replaced a burnt out old dome light lens cover with a new one adding worn away indicator decals back to the headlight stalk (care...

Just got back from turkey hunting and am ready to get back onto the 60. While the SOA to SUA conversion was a big step, I had my friend get off all the old oxidation and this was the conversion I was most excited about. She cleaned up great...

@CruiserTrash O'Reilly's slide hammer pilot bearing attachment. Pulled that race out in two blows. Thanks much. More on the transfer case soon... Wrapped up the frame weld/grind/coat portion of this refresh earlier this week. - New Trail Tailor...

As I mentioned previously- I don’t think the engine itself is overheating. My guess is it’s a gauge/temperature sender issue related to the change in coolant flow at the rear of the cylinder head when the water valve is opened.

where's the burnout vid? :flipoff2:

Keep us posted with your results!

Here's the gauge that I can vouch for https://www.autometer.com/2-water-temp-120-240-f-mech-sport-comp.html?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjww_iwBhApEiwAuG6ccByGheUThiI-1WsPtkZZlzWixh39qO3s30gKLmh8wpJnUuh55AZqjxoC8XQQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds On where to...

At this point you should install a mechanical temp gauge and using that to determine it’s true temp. These electronic gauges are not as accurate. I’d recommend an Autometer. On my 87 pickup it was so accurate that I could see when the thermostat...

Bump, now that my engine is installed and rocking one of my decals.

I welded fine thread grade 8 bolts to scrap metal "arms" because there is no way to get a wrench into the boxed frame Boltz Tightened down & welded the nutz onto the boltz, and ran a bead along the frame to limit movement Painted &...

My knuckle journey continued into the weekend and I was able to get the rotors and new lugs installed on Saturday morning, with the last remaining items being installing the tie rods & plumbing the brake lines. I decided to wait on that as my...

That’s what our little community is all about!!!! Georg @ Valley Hybrids @ Cruiser Brothers

All done, there is like barely enough room in the dash for these switches and the wiring. Need to get the rear glass fixed on my truck. Theres a few breaks in the circuit across the glass i think, so the light doesnt light up for the defroster...

Getting the new AC Bezel finished out and painted. I think this is finally the last time im going to ever do this. Probably could have sanded this one more but it looks good enough

More Castle items.

It's alive. Issue was FPR.
