Which colors correspond to the leather seat code in the 4Runner VIN?

Why not a 2UZ/H55/split case? Seems the better choice to me.

My has been sitting since august, and I can walk over at any point and it will fire right up, so no. I would use fuel stabilizer if it’s going to be sitting.

Why are you only getting 52%? I get WOT with my sniper setup.

Owning your first FJ40 is like losing your virginity: it’s expensive, awkward, and you’re probably going to do it wrong; but none of that stops you from trying again. 😁

Jon Ward uses the Chiliwich fabric in his icon builds, if I recall correctly.

Call Lance at Iron Pig Off Road in Fredericksburg. I think he just hired a new body man (which is good, cause my 60 is there.) :) ironpigoffroad.com

It’s a 74 or later. Oil filter is on the passenger side.

I’m local (well, near Annapolis) and in Alexandria at least 2-3 days per week, so if you help, LMK. I’m around. 202-903-9671 Congrats on the truck!

I had to build up every point of my header where the bolts should have lined up. Welded a few passes on each one, then ground them flat and used a die grinder to shape the holes. PITA, but it worked.

I don’t think it’s possible; usually we pull both at the same time. I’m sure someone has done it, but I’ve never had success at it.

I'd remote mount it. it'll get real hot under that hood. Intercooler def. Reach out to Jim C. We talked about this years ago, and while my mind has lost that info, I'm sure he's got it tucked away somewhere.

I had over ⅓ of my frame replaced recently at Iron Pig off Road. Lance fabricated all new inner plates, new rear crossmember, and all new spring perches, etc. It was a hot mess, and now it's stable and solid. He knows what he's doing with metal, and has a lot of experience doing the frame...

I had stock springs at first (35's) and then had custom springs made in maybe 01 or 02. So a LOONG time ago (we did the SO in '98, I think), but I have 37's on mine and it looks about the same as yours. It may be an inch or so lower, but it's had some time to settle, lol.
