I did the same thing. Fortunately oil didn't make it to the ceiling! After that I added a relief valve to dump pressure fast. Also don't like the little regulator on it and rigged up a separate hose/regulator to more easily control pressure...

@Waorani I have that same oil tank. The first time I had drained it I pumped the air up to about 40lbs and opened the valve,,,,BIG MISTAKE. Cleaned up oil for 2 hours.. it only needs a few psi and it flows easily

Thanks for solving the mystery. I saw one a couple of weeks back on Ponce near Mary Mac's. I told my daughter about it and she said that she had seen two with names painted on them. And I thought the swarm of driverless taxis running around...

Drag raced an uber eats delivery robot. Beat him fair and square

Yep. You're likely going to do it at least once - and hopefully that once is enough!

Told myself I wouldn't do it - but I did. Lowered car down on an oil drain tank. Barely made a noise but I heard it and stopped. Bad thing is I probably looked right at it walking up to lower lift. Cheap HF tank so was able to straighten fairly...

If it would aid discussions in this 73, I have the original bumper from my '86. It is not in perfect shape nor is it a mangled mess. I am not exactly close by, but still in the region and with a trip to Uwharrie in Oct (plus Windrock for 70...

Check on your terminology; SA = South America or SA = Saudi Arabia This question may not matter in that it would be profoundly important for me to have someone that I have trust and confidence in (such as Meshal or AJ)...

Sad state for the country. This swift stuff. Amzing it happened right before the nfl season. They will probably get married as a superbowl halftime show. Growing up in the south with 3 tv channels (no cable or satellite available), we never...

I'm driving 900 miles to get away from mud :rofl:

3-1/2” foam board going on. It gets cemented on with the same 50/50 mix of Portland cement and STO primer that I plastered the inside of the domes with. You use a 1/2” notched trowel to make vertical lines, so if any moisture happens to...

Pretty mountains here at the Fairmont Banff Springs

LOL, small world in deed. If I had driven Carolyn's FZJ70 to the game, you might not have identified the connection to me as quickly. For Davis and your reference, here is Carolyn's new baby next to her old baby. I hope you will be able to...

Folks. We are in the Gulf of Mexico.

Such a small world Larry. He sent me this photo at 6:30pm from Fuller’s Park…so you were spotted too! Clearly you are better at taking photos than him 🤣. He is a great son and has earned his “dream car” at 18 years old. I love turning wrenches...

Registration is now open. Click here. All the info you’ll need is on the registration page so I won’t clutter this post by restating it all, but I do want to emphasize that we turn in our numbers to the caterer on 9/12/2025 and meal tickets...

Thanks Juan for the help. Since the 70 has ~109k Km, it seemed unlikely that the switch would have enough cycles on it to be causing issues (or at least I hoped). So I started over at the battery reviewing and testing all connections before...

OUR MOTIVATION …..

87 spots filled. I bet it fills up by the end of the weekend.

. There is so much good used old iron out there. So much better built. 25% of current price of one implement Is what I paid for all three. Ya know its good when the plop it on the trailer. Noticeable.

The Cruiser is a 1997 FZJ70. When I turn the key, nothing comes to life (none of the indicator lights come on and she won't turn over). The head lights work fine. My thought was battery cables/connections. So I cleaned the battery...

3000 series fits all my needs. Absolutely no leaks on this. Everything works! It has a connection for rear hydraulics too. I bought this for $3k. All new tires and seat makes it even cheaper. Tons of torque on this puppy. I usually never buy a...

Prep work

Just spent 7 days in Colorado (San Juan and Sangre De Christo mountains) in this truck that I built from stock. She did everything I asked her to, including 3000 miles of interstate driving at 75-85 MPH for hours at a time. And she rolled over...

I am in this boat. My lift is a 2-post asymmetric lift rated at over 10k. Getting under low slung vehicles is a challenge sometimes, but the a more frequent challenge is length of the lift arms. On shorter wheelbases, the arms are too long to...
