      Looks like a really cool place to have a ONSC get together.

      For those asking. I decided to swap the radiator because it previously had a non oem electric fan version and is wired for such. One of the fan motors blew and couldn't find a genuine replacement. So with that and other considerations I swapped...

      BTW, gen1 on the left, gen2 on the right. The gen2 head gasket addresses the most common failure points. For OP, do you happen to know when one you have installed?

      My Cruiser only had 15K miles after a full rebuild when I noticed the temps acting somewhat inconsistent. Scangauge definitely helped identify the problem. My Cruiser normally runs cooler than most but I saw it get close to 200* in relatively...

      That's quite different from what you originally stated. I would fill the radiator to the top of the filler neck and use a pressure tester. It should hold at least 13 PSI (cap relief pressure) for a few hours without decreasing. That's the easiest...

      I took a bit of a hybrid approach. Pioneer Double DIN CD/radio/Android Auto/backup camera unit. Would not recommend but I got it for cheap. It works fine as a radio, steaming box but the glare off the screen is so bad that it is difficult to use...

      Which bumper? I have a 4xlabs which I had to notch to fit. Just be careful when sliding it on so as not to damage it. After that I also fabbed up a skid plate for it. I was also a bit paranoid routing the cooler lines through the opening so I...

      Started the process of installing the new power steering cooler that I sourced from Derale. Tomorrow I am going to cut the bottom of the paper clip cooler (bend closest to the ground) and let it drain into a drain pain, hopefully this will...

      No disrespect meant by my thumbs down. I have three of those left in my camp box to save space. 5lb and 10lb abc are back in the vehicles after a buddy used the element on a vehicle fire unsuccessfully.

      Swapped out my MTs to test out a set of AVIX TrailTek RTs this winter. Hit up a local trail for a quick test and a weekend of camping. Nothing gnarly but they gripped well on steep climbs and held up to poor line choices that led to rocks warping...

      lumbee1 replied to the thread Speaker mounts.
      Sorry, I've got my answer. My speakers are mounted to the door card and the door steel. I don't like it. I've pulled off my door cards at least two dozen times and it always has to start with removing the speakers first. I would rather have the...

      lumbee1 replied to the thread Speaker mounts.
      Are your speakers attached to the cards or just the door steel?

      lumbee1 posted the thread Speaker mounts in 80-Series Tech.
      How are your front and rear speakers mounted? My Cruiser came with aftermarket speakers. I replaced them with the popular Polk shallow mount speakers. After two of those died I replaced them with some truly lovely Infinity speakers. However every...

      The ABS surrounds for the door handles are still available and fairly cheap. I picked up new ones off ebay a few years back.

      lumbee1 reacted to Malleus's post in the thread ABS with Like Like.
      ^this The locking system disables the ABS when the switch is made. Not having ABS won't affect them, AFAIK. I assume you mean to say you have factory installed lockers? When you say "it won't engage", what exactly happens? We need a little...

      The wandering is caster. For the noise, check your relay rod clearance to the radius arms and your front sway bar clearance to your front drive shaft.

      One of my favorite cheap mods! I slap my phone on it every time I jump in the Cruiser.

      You may be smelling fuel, it has a similar smell to acetone when in open air. The fuel filter and the breather on the charcoal canister are both in that area.

      Oil galley plug from the looks of it It’s a swedged plug that can blow out. Passenger side 1/2 to 2/3 back from front of head? Drill and tap and insert an Allen head set screw with Loctite. Coat your tap with grease to catch the shavings...

      lumbee1 replied to the thread High Idle and Surging.
      I had a similar problem and it was my TPS. Engine was revving to 1200 then 1600 then 2100 rpm. Stopping the Cruiser was difficult. I ordered a new TPS from RockAuto. Almost 16 months later, it started doing the same thing. I replaced the RockAuto...

      I should add, I'm also running custom cams. But when everything is happy fuell trims look within parameters albeit some rpms/conditions may be toward the lean side of what the injectors can handle but again, within the 20% parameter to keep the...

      You are really making me exercise my memory. Fortunately, it's the longest thing I own. :lol: I completed the blower installation on August 25th 2000. I spent roughly 16 hours over a 4 day period. Mine was the first install on a 93/94 ever done...

      Sorry to hijack @thetoyotaman but @cruiserdan which pulley are you running, how long have you had it installed, and do you have any kind of intercooler?

      Simply re-route the PCV hose to the atmospheric pressure side of the throttle body adapter. That's what I did ~18 years ago... Problem solved. Oh, I drove the truck today. It still seems to manage. The blower has only been on there for 26 years...
