https://www.sor.com/cat/186#tab2 Seems like just take it apart and do what needs done. I wouldn't use harsh chemicals like lacquer thinner on old plastic as it may dissolve. Milder cleaner like 409 and denatured alcohol should work good for...

1978 Whether mine is original is of course anyones guess. My tub is also aluminum.

I did that bracket with a 24" cable, but I did need to nibble off one corner a bit to clear the 2300. Geometry worked out with the factory pedal - drill out the ball end on the pedal and use the clevis there, and the ball end linkage goes on...

What year is your cruiser? I’m asking because I’m running a redline firewall bracket as well and possibly will need a gas pedal similar to yours to make it line up correctly. The arm of the pedal that sticks out on the firewall side is a little...

The weather is allowing me to drive her on a regular basis...

I have a set on mine as well, there must have been a rubbing wheel on it before I got it yrs ago. These were the wheels it had. After switching to disk brakes up front I might need to recheck and see if it’s a problem. I have removed the wheels...

Took her to work in Fredericksburg and then to my buddies place in Blanco.

Took my son up camping near Nederland, CO, and did a bit of wheeling (West Magnolia and North Caribou). Got a bit sketchy in the mud holes on N Caribou! Trails were almost totally deserted, only saw a few folks all day... If I do more solo...

Took Yellr back up into the Tahoe National Forest, north of Nevada City, for another shake-down run before Colorado in a few weeks. The bumpity-bump bumps confirmed everything is still attached. Always a reassuring milestone. Spent part of...

It was a great birthday trip for the old girl! Logged 750 miles and averaged 12.3mi/gal (500 of those miles was towing the trailer). Couple fun days of wheeling in the woods on VT's class IV roads. Came home mostly unscathed- a little damage to...

Sometimes crappy light is overcome by a good scene. Right outside Luckenbach.

I totally hear you on ordering from Rock Auto for aftermarket parts when Toyota still sells them, There is something incredibly rewarding to repair original parts. For me, it’s what makes owning the entire engineering package of a 40 so...

Finally got around to installing the Trollhole top I bought from Evan @EWheeler earlier in the year. It’s brand new and still has the protective film on the windows. Have been looking for a green canvas top to replace the Paki top that wore out...

Now that the Texas summer is almost over, we will be driving her on a daily basis! Now we just go to the park early in the morning on the weekends!

I’ve discovered how much that front driver-side kick panel speaker mount annoys me. Everytime I step on the clutch it skews my foot due to the speaker bulge and I can’t afford for my foot to slip off the pedal and become an issue. Found a new...

Thanks guys!

Let me see if I can get them to send me some material scraps. Charlie's idea is probably how I'd approach it but I'd just want to do some tests with different adhesives. An option to get you by and prevent further tearing is "Kenyan Repair...

Cut 2 nice round patch of matching canvas about 1" larger than damage. Lightly glue with flexible adhesive the patch in place on both the inside and outside - secure with tape - next day remove tape - sew the perimeter about 1/4" in threw all 3...

I have a small tear in my TROA top from pushing it in and out of the garage. I noticed that I have a small nail loose above the frame of the garage door. How easy is this to repair and noticeable will it be? I’m considering taking it somewhere...

Just dropping a link to the thread I started about TROA tops and questions. Just post a list of parts and products they offer if anyone is interested in seeing what else they have...

Bump

Been following "tall skinny" thread for a while. Finally pulled the trigger on 35×10.50 r 15 Kanati Mud Hogs. Simpletire.com Memorial Day sale $170.99 +free shipping. Upgraded from 32×11.50 BFG's.... super stoked. 🤙🏼 Before with 32×11.50r15 BFG

Really nice 4Runner you got there! I wouldn’t mind getting one down the road! Love the 79-83 pickups as well.

Do 39×12.50s count as "tall skinnies"... asking for a friend 😉 Kanati Mud Hogs. 39/12.50/17 -vs- 35/10.50/15

Could you do the kits for the earlier wiper motors??
