Thanks for some of the responses on the 6cyl. I had my suspicions about them and will try to avoid, if possible. I know rust, so I'll make sure to keep a watchful eye out for it too.
Will keep hunting!!
Hey,
I'm looking for a city run-about truck. Initially I thought a 86-95 2wd would be perfect but they're not as abundant and it sure would be fun to offroad a Mini/Taco instead of my 'nicer' 40. I am too scared to offroad the 40 and it usually sleeps for the winters anyways. Salt here is...
Here's a little update to the thermostat housing progress. I managed to get the 2 halves separated with a mighty struggle. With heat and vice grips, I got 1 bolt out but the other didn't budge. Extractor and heat did nothing. I had to drill it out and it still fought with me. I ended up...
SURPRISE! I broke the two bolts which hold the thermostat housing together. So much for just a quick thermostat swap.
Anyways, I have the broken ends soaking with some penetrating oil on them. My question is - is the upper half of the thermostat housing have threads in it? Or is the only...
You have no idea! man, I was just outside checking a few things out and I had to come back in after 5 min just to warm up.
I think you're right, something is funky with the pull switch. I'll pull it apart and muck with it inside. Thanks for the tips.
Hey,
Its not quite a real time help question but its darn near it. Its a balmy -25C (the warmest day this week) with overnight lows of -33 to -35C. I won't even get into the windchill.
Anyways, I've been somewhat having fun driving the 40 until the heater quit. I obviously had both the...
I know mine isn't a diesel but it's loud and makes lots of creaks, groans and rattles... I'm in Calgary but I'm sure there are a few guys here who are closer to you than myself. Nice looking cruiser though. Have a build up thread? if not, start one!
As mentioned earlier, join the CA-AB...
My bumper looks exactly the same as yours. Rusty as all **ll on the bottom half and 'relatively' rust free on the upper half. These bumpers are nice but they really require a lot to be desired. How hard would it be to put a zerk in the swingarms? I get a good workout trying to open mine...
Just passing this along. No affiliation.
Looks mighty sweet. 5 speed with cable lockers. $12k, probably could bargain.

Like LittleMan says, search is a beautiful thing. I get carried away in it some days.
One thing I would like to add with the 4+ bumper (I have one), Its awesome. The only thing I wish I would have done before it was mounted was drill and tap a zerk fitting into the pivot arms. The...
Great Point! I'll have to do a search, or a quick response from one of you guys would be awesome! According to your diagram, it is backwards. Also, just out of curiosity, does that even matter??
