I have driven my stock 77 with no oil cooler for 41 plus years now in some of the hottest places in the country or earth for that matter (Death Valley) and have never had an issue. Not sure it "is on their for a reason is valid argument". It...

That cooler looks to be brass. I tried the same thing, but I wasn't able to get the heat/technique/solder to seal well. Ended up with just the copper as you did.

On that note I pull the oil pressure sending unit out when changing my oil so I get as much of the dirty oil out as possible. I had a situation where 8 qts overfilled my system and wanted to easily remove some so I chose that small hole. The oil...

My 87 FJ60 previous owner "rigged the short hose" with a non factory issue, IE just bent a short piece of radiator hose, it failed on the side of the road and puked antifreeze all over, damn near ruined the engine. OE part is like $ 3.00 Went...

You don't have to have it. As you state, earlier 2Fs run just fine without it, but you'll have to replace the filter mount with the earlier style. One of the Cruiser gurus around here says he routinely does it if the oil coolers start to leak...

HI Jay If you place the order for the 3/4 complete assemble, I will include the rear ambulance doors as a courtesy, but remebler the special offer we have: For only $1999 more, we will include all other panels you need to assembly the complete...

Good eye. I spotted it too. Our cowl has 5 louvers and builds using the full cowl/tub usually don't have any seams. Beautiful build regardless!

Oh, we know. And won't tell.

This thread is a bit old, so apologize for digging it up, but Aqualu is not shutting down at the end of the year. The current owner, Todd, is simply working toward retirement but he is actively seeking new ownership to continue operations. Was...
