All, I have in my possession the original vehicle specification and suggested retail sheet from an FJ-55 imported through New Orleans. It fell out of a book while doing some reading on the toilet! I would like to re-mate it with current owner of the vehicle it describes. The ink has faded...

New Project 82' Trekker I just picked up. Picture is as it sat for months while I swooned over it. Needs a frame and tranny work to start. Hello Hilux Community!:flipoff2:

Sent inquiry yesterday. Got a reply from Betty stating it is SOLD. I believe someone got a sweet deal.

When will you be travelling? Are you taking the Alcan (#97) or the other way from Highway #16 I've driven the Alcan from Dawson Creek several times. Never in the cruiser. Once in a 71 Ford Econoline(2001) and other times in a 76 IH Traveler (2002)From May to November. One time in May there...

You have PM.

Cream..... Yeah - Which I believe would look better with the oem paint.

Thanks bhm.

Around my windshield where the gasket meets the paint I've got a couple surface rust spots taking hold. I am planning on addressing this sometime this year with new windshield, gasket, etc. I had the thought of adding the heritage of the FJ40 white top scheme in a durabek/herculiner...

I had some custom sliders made and took the oppurtunity to gain some clearance by rerouting the exhaust and replacing the double cats with a single Magnaflow from Summit. It was like $65 shipped. $150 for the exhaust work. I've heard Toyota cats have more platinum and molybdenum and are worth...

Looks like the "Stimulus Package" helped with something... Thanks Cam and I'm looking forward to it.

You will notice in this generic diagram, that the EGR system is fed directly from the engine; basically an extra exhaust port on the head that feeds the EGR valve with exhaust gas. -B- :idea: Aha, I see said the ignorant, blind man! In order for my thinking to make any sense the damn...

Ok, but wouldn't an insufficient flow translate on both sides of the cats, and wouldn't this lack thereof translate into higher temps in the exhaust, which would then affect gas/exhaust ratio? Or are you saying that this is only measuring recirculated gas? I'm rereading FAQ soon. It was just...

Load rating is 200+lbs on the TrXus. You also get .2 inches of real diameter, but it is hard to tell from the dimension sheets whether that is made up in tread depth. You also get a ton of siping compared to the Hankook. That said, I run the 295 Hankook and have been pleased everywhere...

I had the P401 on for a couple months. Rather than due diligence I just upgraded the modulator to blue. This was no help. I've also had other things in the works including sliders. I had an exhaust shop reroute over the frame rail and go to a single MagnaFlow cat. The code was on for...

Welcome and :flipoff2: FYI Frankie's Offroad is in Bama. I've no experience with Man A Fre yet. As suggested above, you will probably want to address caster post lift.
