I would try Novus first. Best plastic polish I have ever used. https://novuspolish.com/products/2-oz-plastic-polish-kit

So the one on the East coast moved a little. @Land Shark picked this up from me and took it to Fall Crawl at the Cove this past weekend. It road the trails in his 40, then road in my FJ45 race car #4573. It then came back to Richmond with Land...

These are what I used:

Nice

The two pieces MUST be done AS ASSEMBLED if you want it to seal. The exhaust horns will need to be fixtured to prevent twisting - again - if you want it to seal. You will likely need to shop around as machinists are not made from the same cloth...

Didn't realize you had a 3F fuel injected but they might operate the same as a 60 which i'm familiar with. No, with what I described you're taking the heat sensor out of the equation. The wire that connects to it, instead of wiring it to the...

You won't need to remove those components. Easy way is to put the front on Jack stands, remove the passenger wheel, and if you still have them, peel back the fender curtain, then remove pump hoses and two bolts... Pump may be a little stuck...

You now have the slave cylinder mounted correctly, and you have the correct the spring. The pushrod normally does not sit at full extension like that. The pushrod threads usually protrude through the end of the fork and stick through about 1". It...

When the question is "Is it fixable?", the answer is always YES! I'm not a welder, but I get there eventually

I'm assuming the 'plastic' cans you're referring to are the Scepter MFC? I think the gasket woes are a thing of the past. When Scepter stuff started to become difficult to source in the US, i.e. the wouldn't even ship part to the US, gaskets were...

That's a reasonable price from a OTC Dealer. If you get the insulator, you don't need the gaskets, they are already bonded to the insulator. If the insulator/Spacer is all black, then you need gaskets. The insulator/spacer was changed for...

Perfect. Thanks for the direction landtank. I will check out these possible culprits and hopefully find the problem. Thanks again everyone for their input. Really appreciate it all!

Fall crawl bound with Capital Land Cruiser Club

Got my new calipers installed, sourced them through O' Reilly's and for a remaned caliper I'm impressed with the quality, on top of that with my work account they only costed me 40 a side. The truck stops well but I'll probably adjust the rear...

I acquired this 91 3FE 80 series with 212k on the clock in september of 2022, It was a surreal experience of how I came to owning it and will do my best to document the build as i go along. Ultimately the story goes as followed..... I had seen...

Took the 60 on a trip down Moss Wash to the old Gold King Mansion. Right up there with Hole in the rock as a favorite trail. Technical rock crawling, steep climbs, butt puckering shelf roads, and elevation changes from desert to pine forests

Distributor rotor gap…have you checked your gap?

If you use starter button make sure you are in neutral. If you are getting a squirt from the accelerator pump, that should be enough to get it to fire up/ I would get about 3 squirts worth before trying to crank. Engine needs to be running for...

Did some trip prep this weekend for 900 mile drive to Virginia for Fall Crawl tomorrow. I actually able to just leave the truck mostly packed up from my trip last month with the only exception being my set of power tools and clothes, and...

Reinstall an aftermarket gauge that will give actual temps. I’ve used Autometer gauges in several Cruisers and knowing the actual temps provides solid information instead of the stock gauge guesstimate.

6061 aluminum bumpers and steel sliders.

I used steel straps to extend the legroom on both front seats in my 76. Not easy to see in this picture but I gained over 2 inches of room. The outer straps extend all the way to the rear wheel well and the seats bolt on further back than OEM...

Do yourself a favor and replace that length of wire from the Thermosensor to the connector with some high-temp insulated or 'Oven Wire'. You'll never have to replace again. This is all I could find with a quick search, but you should be able...

I am back from Mardi Krawl, so time for some pictures for the public! Exhuast process.. all tubing is Vibrant USA 304, back-purged and TIG welded
