    Failed Smog pre-test and something else weird

    You're right Cary. I just ordered some stuff(wires,sparkplugs, filters etc) for tune-up, just to eliminate any possibility by taking care of the easy(cheaper) parts. I will try your suggestion on keeping the cats nice and hot prior to testing. I forgot to mention that I actually failed the HC on...

    Failed Smog pre-test and something else weird

    Today my 96 1FZFE with over 200,000miles failed the smog pre-test (CA of course). the tech said that HC is 130 and I'm only allowed 100 max :crybaby: so he suggested that I probably need a tune up or worst my rear cats have gone bad. What you guys think? Here's the weird part of my trip to the...

    wiring up off road lights on rack. NO DRILLING!

    Great Idea for routing the wires, I like that instead of drilling holes through the roof or routing through the door where it could be pinched. Can you show some pics of your CB coax wire? I'm just curious how it looked what kind of antenna are you using for your set up? ....and my .02 cents...

    CB antenna through roof - is it practical?

    The roof is a great place to mount antennas, but I'm too scared to drill holes up there. So I opted for a mount on the luggage rack and gutter mount, not optimal but it works. I saw this bracket mount that attaches to the rear of the car from an Aussie website. Not bad coz' it's elevated a...

    Sorry guys, I haven't forgotten to reply. I'm just too busy, yes I have started to take a close look at all the suggested problem area and it is a work in progress. You guys are right, Mr. Beowulf that picture you borrowed from 97fortieth4me is exactly where it melted (on the bottom part) not...

    Code P0305 Help!

    :doh:sorry guys, was such in a hurry. I do have a 96 TLC (US) 4.5L 1FZ-FE Gas of course. This baby has about 196,000 miles on the clock. Unfortunately I can't read or there's no other code other than p0305. I am now trying to see if there's any broken insulation on the wires leading to #4...

    Code P0305 Help!

    Ok! Before I give up on my 96 and see the shop...got this code P0305, and engine runs rough, loss a little bit of power. I've search the forum and it seems like I'm the only one with this particular code. Misfire #4 cylinder, right? So I replaced all my Plugs, wires and distrib. it was due...

    Picky 1996 Crusher questions (new)

    Hello Rev.C, Not an expert, but I would be a bit cautious with these symptoms. Milky oil I think is a sign of emulsification, moisture, water in oil, if it's under the oil filler cap to me it sounds like there's a good amount of water in the oil evaporating? There's a lot of people here that...

    Great Story/Ride! now that makes your ride more valuable with the places it's been. I wonder how it did on the back roads of Penang. I had a short taste of penangs backroad, rut/mud but unfortunately not on a cruiser(on a Disco). Cambodia has some interesting places unseen this side of the...

    Portable Multi-mount Electric Winch

    Thanks, so far I'm enjoying all the ideas. Beowolf Sir, that FOERS system is great and I like that for a dedicated system for one vehicle. I think I have seen that on a military truck (army maybe) but I never understood how it worked. Those diagrams and webpage on foers is very...

    Portable Multi-mount Electric Winch

    Thanks Landy, Great info, looks like planetary goes on top of my list 9000 # should be good enough I hope and though I like the Idea of having mounts on both frame rail the other vehicle might not have same width as my TLC...welding cables are a must particularly for mounting to the rear, can't...
