:( Sick truck!

The TuRDle is sold. I've replaced it with an slightly-built 2000 XJ, but don't excommunicate me...as I may be back. I think Woody owns that NAXJA site too so I'm kinda still in the family... I'm retiring from the Air Force and moving back to PA in mid-June.

Just put a new fuel pump in it today since that was pissing oil all over the place. I'll be commuting in this for a bit (wallet be damned!) as I just sold my mini truck today....that was a great little beater for 5 years!

It was Permatex PermaShield which is fuel resistant...I just generically called it RTV. I drove the piss out of it and no leaks yet. It's crazy to park the FJ and have no oil leaking! Maybe it's out of oil... :-P

Yay... fuel pump replaced. Gotta let the RTV cure a little before I start it up and check for leaks. Hopefully that's one more leak taken care of...

Thx , Spike!

Yup that's exactly where it's coming from. Thanks brother. Just pull it out and put the new one in?

What is this part to the right of the oil filter? Its leaking like a mofo...

******************************************************* SOLD!!!! I hope you guys see Sean (the new owner) on the local trails!!! ******************************************************* I got a chance to retire from the Air Force early and I took it and I'll be moving back to PA in the next few...

So, I got the TuRD back from Redline and its running. They told me to drive it around a bit and let them know if anything needs to be adjusted. Once the choke is in, it idles at 1500 rpm. I haven't driven it in such a long time that I forget what it used to idle at, but I don't think it was...

Although it's an inner-tube-like material, it's not super stretchy. It fits 12 oz cans great...not sure about skinny Coors and 24 oz...

Being from PA, I've killed more deer in cars than with a rifle. Scariest was a 200lb one I hit in high school with a 89 Pontiac Fiero @ 70mph. Took off both the popup headlights, smashed a bunch of fiberglass, hit the top of the windshield, smashed that and luckily flew over the car instead of...

The IH8Mud app or one of the pop-up blockers? My pop-ups were in the IH8Mud app.

If I lock my keys in my 60 no big deal...my back hatch doesn't lock...lol Same with my mini...the latch on the rear sliding window is broke, so I can just climb in through there and grab the key

Another guess for the starter. My '74 Dodge Dart Swinger took a key and sometimes a hammer to start. I was too cheap to replace the starter since it has the solenoid on it and was "too expensive" for my E-1 (Air Force) paycheck. You see all these pics of lifts, SOA, huge tires, snorkels...
