7 MPG is rich to the extent of causing engine damage. That's like big cubic inch V8 in a motorhome driving 70MPH mileage.

I would concur you have some issue with your setup. I just crossed the country in my 60 with a full load(roof top tent, camp gear, 2 people, drawer system) and was returning 15mpg crossing the plains. Setup is a sniper, h55, 33's. Regarding...

7MPG, there has to be something amis. The 1FZE should be more efficient and turning gas into mechanical power than the 2F due to better flow and engine management. I recently did a trip to Coyote Flats with my wife driving our 80 pulling a...

The Haltech is tunable and makes more power and also allows for a manual transmission.

We've done two of these using the FJ Co bellhousing, and would absolutely do them again if the parts were available. In the 60, it did allow for keeping the transmission sitting in its mount and not having to redo anything in the drivetrain. We...

My 80 is still wounded from Coyote.... Frank

check out snow slide and butler fire tower! both are finally open again

I have a lot of my own products cast from various grades of aluminum then machined in house. A friend of mine is a brilliant patternmaker. Those FJco bellhousings look ROUGH. They look like an afterthought more than a product if you've ever...

Used but not abused Gazelle Overland T4 tent up for sale. Comes with the whole kit that was included in purchase including all the Gazelle stuff labeled 'Overland' - bag, stakes, rain fly and footprint. A couple scuffs on the rainfly that...

it's a "when I can get it to the top of the list" type of situation. Currently re-engineering Bump It Offroad's protection catalog, adding in a few desirable 80 series accessories. Knowing there is demand helps me consider accelerating the...

Wiring to the stock ECU is easy. In fact, any stand alone will need the same stuff, power ground, AC if you have it, etc... I think the stock ECU is actually easier because it already plugs into everything on the engine including the hold...

I am very interested in how this turns out. When the 2F in my 60 goes, this is the swap I would do. Having done the 3FE swap, I didn't need to trick the ECU or feed it speed. The engine runs fine in park, neutral, etc... In fact, since the 80...

Any one of those things I'd say let's have a wrench day and get it done. However, given the situation, I'd go with 73Guppie or Georg at Valley hybrids. So, on the subject of EFI, I am about to attempt this on my dad's 68 FJ40 and with Leno's...

Wow, huge thanks for this! I accidentally dropped the cap from my drain pan into a 275-gallon IBC tote half full of used oil, so it is gone forever. Going to try printing a new cap next week.

Can you post a picture? I can see if it is the same as what my cans have. If so I can design another one. Otherwise I would need to get a hold of a center plug. Frank

Well let's get ya in next year! frank

I was thinking about that. What I am struggling with is that usually when a float needle gets stuck it's suck closed and disturbing / hitting the carb unseats it. If the needle is stuck open and the float is unable to close it, again disturbing...

Think I might have found something.... I had a full tank when I started the climb.... https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/charcoal-canister-operation.1082092/ Frank

Such a good trip with so many epic moments and stories for days. Thanks for organizing, Frank! We will be coming back next year!

Ah, good to know!

Fortunately we did a fair bit of packing Sunday at camp before dinner. This helped us and Corey depart at 9AM which is a record for me. Typically if I bring the kids by myself I am lucky to hit the road by 10AM. Well.... on the way down I...

Corey's family, his wife was a trooper hiking their baby to Baker lake and beyond. On the way back we stopped to get a better pictures of the rigs with the mountains in the background. We headed back to camp to enjoy our last day. Garrett is...

Green Lake! The view is awesome, like another planet, but the hike down there and back up is tough. Trying to do that with Karleigh on my back is a real physical test so passed on it this year. I'd love to get back to fish it, Daniel caught a...

It was. Each year has something else to offer. We gotta do it again next year. Frank

We headed back to camp. I was trying to be so careful on my bike not to wipe out but alas about half a mile from camp I did. I wasn't going fast and didn't get hurt but need to fix a few things on the bike. However, that's not important, what...
