When my 2H head finally cracked I had similar conditions. When I drove 55mph all seemed fine, when I drove faster than that I would loose coolant. I can’t remember if the coolant temp also rose at the same time. One thing to double check is that...

I’m gonna say that starts with the 1999 model year, with the switch to the 79 series, but I’m no expert🤣

Calls it a HZ instead of a FJ, maybe a simple mistake but…what else is wrong with it? No heat looks like but AC? Looks like original paint so that’s good for checking for rust. Probably worth spending the time money to check it out in person or...

I don't think those greaseable shackle bolts are factory. that piece on top of the spring going back I also don't think are factory, never seen that before, might be something someone in Europe sold awhile ago. If you can't find any identifying...

@coldtaco it has a Bosch on it I want to say from 2018/2019 maybe. I eventually got it to firm up. I would do ten pump intervals, hold down, crack the bleeder on the filter and repeat. Did that maybe 5-6 times. I did hear air come out on the...

Wow, Alaska is so gorgeous. Definetly a bucket list item to see! Thanks for all the great pictures.

Yeah the hand pump should get hard, but definitely before 30 pumps. How old is it? Might be a good time to change with a new Bosch unit

Always a good day when packages from Japan show up. Amazing these parts are still available. Hopefully this one lasts another 30+ years and almost 600,000kms. So nice to have that part new. Everything works so nice. Thanks...

Are HZ engine mounts available?

These spacers are never installed in the catalog or in practice. The leaf springs have a 50 mm lift even without these attachments and require the lifted shock absorbers. Will see

only thing to think about when removing those spacers is that the shocks will be more compressed, I think, and have less up travel.

did that too to my tail gates :)

probably by foot. there are at least two glaciers in this area one can walk to.

Next morning headed home. Stopped at the Eureka Lodge for some pie. As we got out I noticed a hot smell and smoke coming from the rear wheels. Both sides where spitting brake fluid and the axle/wheels where very hot. Didn’t realize that the...

Then headed to Glennallen where we parted ways. Jon was off to McCarthy and the Kennecott mine. We headed to lake Louise for our last night.

All the other buildings were hidden by nature taking over.

Nabesna mine. The tailing still had a light sulfur smell.

Next day was the longest drive so far, from here to the Nabesna road. Due to the lateness of the day we called it a day. Next day head to the abandoned Nabesna mine.

Little drive into a small valley for the overnight.

Headed to the Richardson hwy and headed north to a neat area, where you can drive along the top of a glacier moraine (Canwell glacier) made by some miners a while ago.
