what it sells for. way too high on the original asking price

I'm gonna get the rad checked regardless, but it seems to be flowing through? Just thinking out loud. The belt driven fan is in fine shape and it spins freely (no fan clutch) If it was clogged/obstructed, then the upper or lower would be...

If the radiator were dumping heat to ambient air, the outlet (lower hose) would be cooler.

I'm leaning rad now too. it only misbehaves at speed. its also 50 years old I guess, it looks OG HOWEVER, the upper and lower rad hoses are the same temp, no matter when I check them ? rad and water pump are on the to-do list, cause why not!

If these 2 temperatures are accurate, replace your radiator. There's no way a flowing radiator has a 100degree difference across that small of an area. You've got a plugged up radiator. You said it was 10 years old. Replace it or get it...

Went for a drive. Some city, some hiway. Around town stop and go, 82*f ambient, tempt gauge gets up past half (again, for 10 years with same water pump and rad, it never got above a quarter hot) Around town, the rad won't boil over. But...

Purists plug your ears because you won't hear this one coming up. On this week's episode of the classic Land Cruisers podcast I speak with @TremecElectricGT about how they are creating a turn key out of the box EV conversion that they have...

Great interview with a legend. Great dude; done some fun trips with him! And I can confirm Robbie loves the Rubicon. Robbie spotting me on the Con back in 2009: His 1993 FZJ80: Visiting him in Boulder many moons ago! Climbing down...

Ok after very mixed opinions and rather polarizing talk about the EJ40, Let's get back to talking about internal combustion engines. On this week's episode I talk to @davegonz about his purpose built 70 series troopy bike hauler. You'll have to...

There are still some available

Surprised ! This was in my mail today….. thanks for the great job @mtn biker Seems like a good place to snap a photo of it!

is that an old school Ford V8 badge? What's under the hood?

🤞🏻

Updates: I didn't get around to doing the brakes on the drivers side rear. I am planning on pulling the drum off this weekend. These last two days are the first days I have actually been able to really drive the fj55! I have been shaking it down...

More....did not change the emissivity of the gun, just using it for comparison....fresh caps on the vacuum ports on the TBI ..

Installed new rad cap and topped off water at the head and rad . Sprayed carb cleaner all around, no audible change in idle speed . Let it idle for 10 minutes with some spirited throttle pulls . Top and bottom rad hose are the same temp. Both...

plans, one at a time: 1. triple check coolant is filled....at the block, rad, and try to burp it again, install new rad cap 2. add more JB Weld to manifold crack.,....more is better 3. hunt for hot spots as it heats up and after driving with temp...

I have a new 13lb rad cap to install! . should have some time later this week/weekend to run some tests

The 100 series is such a perfect size.

Appreciate it brotha. Slow going, but moving forward. 🤙

It hits 100s in the barn these days. Drip a quart or more an hour. Been hydrating with water. Beer does not cut it. Made some homemade gatorade. Liquified a water melon, squeezed some limes, and celtic salt for electrolytes. Works like a charm...

Loving all the updates!

There’s a clear pic of the odometer also reflecting that. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Keep us updated.....I have almost the exact same issue

House always wins, so absolutely yes.
