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...

Pausing for a much needed break on the way up. It's not a long hike but it's steep in sections and the altitude makes you work. Once there we got to fishing! After spending a couple of hours there, we headed back. And then an adventure...

We all ate well! There was much delicious desert. Everyone pitched in. It wouldn't be a Beach N Toy's trip if we didn't keep the food going. Next morning we made sure everyone was full and ready to do some hiking! Some of us left for...

Back at camp, it was time to make some food and have some fun. Brennan my 7 year old was ready for the ride to Funnel (but don't tell him that!) so he made up for it cruising around the area. Under that try is 12lb of tri-tip. Bakes beans...

Frog! Our dog Caramel, with Karleigh looking on as Justin give Caramel some proper training on how to take a treat without a finger along with it. My oldest kiddo Daniel (14) and youngest Karleigh. While there might not be fish in Funnel, it's...

Finally at Funnel! Check this out. On Sunday I spoke with some locals who were having lunch at the Green Lake Overlook and they gave me the DL on why there are no fish in Funnel Lake. They said that the Forest Service moved the fish to Rocky...

We were on the opposite side of the area vs. most years. There was someone on the far end we figured we'd give them their peace since we were a large group. Credit to Justendit and Loober for scouting out camp ahead of the group. There was no...

There is so much scenery but the clouds made this one. Driving a stickshift makes it a bit hard to take pictures so I didn't grab anymore on the way up. Wampa was having an issue where when the truck traversed rough terrain and pitched side to...
