Hey Rocky, thanks for the advice. I am stressed b/c I am running out of time before a 6 hr trip to wheel and the fuel system is so important. Wish I were out in AZ

I guess it was a dumb question Since no one has any ideas yet I just ran a line without the check valve. Seems to run fine, I just don't know if there will be any issues with vapor buildup. If anyone has any experience with this please chime in. I was also wondering if I shoud just pull out...

So I was getting ready for a trip to Uwharrie early next week for some wheeling and noticed a gas smell. I realized that my fuel line had broken(rusted through) and upon further inspection that my fuel check valve was cracked and leaking as well. Several hours later now and no one in town has...

Not that anyone cares, but I would be inclined to be active if the meetings were in Tyson's, Reston, Herndon, etc. Alexandria is impossible for me to make after work since I live in Leesburg.

I belive the Cruiser you are referring to belongs to a guy who owns a valet parking company in Vienna. I briefly talked to him outside Colvin Run, and you are right it is clean!

Nice sliders, just what I have been looking for something that does not ruin the stock look.

I have the SOR exhaust on my 73 and it is fine. I have only had it for 2 years so I can not attest to how long it will last. The nice thing about it is that it goes in just like the stock one so it is an easy job. It also tucks up out of the way to avoid damage offroad. You do not "need" a...

This is my local dealer. They called me with this MSRP since I am interested in buying a FJ Cruiser, I then sent an email with the same question about why it is higher than it should be and they ignored me. Guess I will not be buying my FJ from them. This is the same dealer that told me they...

I wish I could make it, it was a blast last time! My wiper motor is shot, and it looks like a good chance for rain tomorrow.

I would like to make it, but somehow I lost my brake master cylinder cap. I have been trying to find a replacement today but no luck. I have checked all the local parts stores, Toyota parts depts, etc, but it sounds like I can't get one until next week. Does anyone out there have one I can...

Felix, Hook up a vac guage to the ports on the side of the carb by the valve cover and make sure there is no vacuum at idle, but that you get some as rpm's increase. If you do a search you can find the correct amount of vacuum, but as long as it behaves in this manner you have most likely...

I would like to make it, but I have not had time to go through/drain my tranny, diffs, or transfer case yet from last weekend, and will not be able to get to it before Saturday. Have a good time!

After this same crossing I had about a foot of water in the cab of the 40. Our stuff in back was actually floating! When I opened the door after the crossing, water rushed out. Since the water was over the hood at times I also got water in the air filter, but she kept running. :) I...

Yes

Great time! Sorry I had to cut out early, I have a party to go to tonight for my wife's job. That was some introduction to water crossings! I have never done any that deep. I am still trying to dry out everything that was inside the cruiser after that foot of water that got inside. Look...
