Funny thing is there back- I just bought my kid a Transition Sentinel and they have new version of biopace. I can’t say I ever really felt any difference when Shimano made them, but what’s old is new again…

I really like my Taurus fan, so much that I grabbed annother when I went back to the pic-n-pull. Another (cheap) way to control it is the Volvo relay from the same years. They use the same fan, but the Volvo relay is sort of a soft start. I was...

If you don’t have an access hatch, it’d be worth the push. If you think you’re likely to burn up an in-tank pump, what about having an external mounted inline to pull through the in-tank pump would be an easy back up. Theoretically , both pumps...

I routed mine back to the air vent by the clutch master. Got me the straight run before and after the air flow sensor that the internet said it wanted. If I ever get around to it, I’ll make a cold air box…

Last day of wheeling ended with this scenario- The bronco came down on his fender, which sent the radiator into the mechanical fan. The place it came to a rest was a bit precarious, so we pulled winch again and brought it up to the top. Luckily...

Well it’s sad Sunday again, gotta find a solution to this problem… At any rate, it was another good trip. Did a little work, some mountain biking on gooseberry and enough wheeling in sand hollow. But you guys don’t want to hear about the first...

I agree with you. Most people would be against this but I’d bob the back by 20” or more, link it, and modernize the heck out of it while keeping the original feel. 33” all terrain tires. LS3. 6spd auto. Etc. it would replace our 4Runner.

Feels good to be back in St George. Drove down yesterday. Just in time to miss a massive snowstorm. And another on the way Thursday. Not here- 60 deg and a little wind. Nothing to crazy yet just tooling around above the lake.

Admittedly I favor day trips to camping, but I’m impressed with my 5.3 trail mileage. It’s still nothing to write home about, but it’s never that bad. While the fool injection is the big contributing factor, I think the ease of starting is a big...

Looks like a good starting point. Howdy from across the state.

I have caught myself many times mouth breathing, trying to formulate some plan, staring off into space, then realizing I have wasted 15 minutes not actually getting anything done or my wife walks in and asks what are you looking at (with a tone...

Nobody’s doing a clutch job right now?

Keep your eye open for a JD2 tube bender 😂

I’m going to St. George next week, I’ve been trying to find something to buy, anything…

Yeah the spring was something I don’t remember considering.

Good sheet man. I built mine over a weekend, for some reason @orangefj45 is moving faster then me… I have a rebuild in my future as well, maybe this’ll speed things up.

That is pretty cool too. Funny thing is I don’t like troopys- they have weird proportions to me. 60s are neat. 80s look like a beast offroad, but lost the cool factor in terms of looks. The rest of the US market I just don’t know… To each their own

Another pumpkin!!! I used a color formula on CCOT site, since I couldn’t find the Toyota formula. I’m jealous you have a 45. Always wanted one and 55 and LV and….

Nice job!!!! I have another project that would benefit from that exact piece. I was hoping you had a source for radiused channel, but good on you for making it happen.

To further this point, when my oem booster died, I went to the pic-n-pull with a tape measure. Turns out up to at least ~’92 the mini truck booster has the same bolt pattern for the booster. I pulled the master with it, thinking I’d get a new one...

Thanks for the props. I have to admit I was partial to staying with the biege, but the wife wanted more color… Since she drives it as well I relented. It grows on me every day. Every once in a while, I catch it at the perfect light( sundown) and...

Hello, I’m looking for a 23 spline 28 mm hub for a EV conversion I’m doing. The common Toyota clutch is 23 spline 28 mm. I don’t need it for a clutch so it doesn’t matter if it’s all burnt up, broken, used-whatever really. I just need a good...

There’s a lot bigger things to work on and the ev f100 is constantly stealing time, but I did this anyway. When I put the cruiser back together after the frame off paint job, I never put the grill back on the cowl vent. I couldn’t find remember...

No need to remove the bearing unless it is tight on the shaft, adapter should slide off with that bearing in place. Shifter, contact Georg at Valley Hybrids, The updated shift rail for front engagement has a much better attachment point. Its...

If you still using the stock tank, I really like the in tank pump from a Yukon. I had zero issues with it. Cutting a hole in the tank was nerve racking tho.
