Posting up my 86 SAS 22r for sale. Time to move on to other projects and the forum has been a great resource getting it here. Asking $12K if anybody on the forum is interested. SAS completed earlier 04/2020 and only driven a few hundred miles. Located in Huntington Beach CA. Here is a link to...

Checking in. If anybody has an unused aux panel they would like to sell, let me know.

The previous owner did wire up a couple of lights directly to the battery using fusible links and relays. These are somewhat exposed to the elements and the truck has been in the mud, which has found itself into nooks and crannies of the engine bay and on relays. I took time yesterday cleaning...

Tested with my multimeter and battery is 12.68 volts at engine off. Running it is reading 13.59.

It came with a die hard platinum installed and label on the side is reading 2-13 50065. I would assume mfg. date Feb 2013 based on this marking?

2007 FJ Cruiser with 146K miles. New to me about 6 months ago and no service records. Looking to see if any other owners have had a similar issue that has only happened to me twice now. I go to turn the key and get a click sound accompanied with all electrical power lost, total blackout for...

4.88

Still available?

Like everybody has said, 4.88s & 33s is a huge upgrade from stock gearing and well worth it. I found a diff with stock 4.88s so that could be a cheaper option for you than doing a full regear. I’m sure somebody on here could tell you which model years have this. I stuck an arb in my stock 4.88...

Marlin asked me to send the steering arms back so they can press new pins in. I don’t have the old bearings to compare, but regardless it seems abnormally tight. @chesshircat Yeah it seems like that would be the right way to do it. Something about it seemed off when I applied the punch and...

Im assembling my axle and the pins for high steer arms & lower bearing caps fit really tight onto the ID of the bearing. So much so that if I were to apply force it would get jammed as if it were a press fit. I tried this and was forced to hammer the lower bearing cap out of the bearing because...

Mine doesn’t make any rattling noises... yet. The turn signal light has a very slight looseness in the side that had the failure of the initial repair. After further inspection, there are two issues that Im noticing. First, because the previous owner stuffed the wheel into the wheel well the...

Oh wow! That looks like fun! Good thing you had the hard hat on. Well as a preventative measure, I plan on learning from your photos and will attempt to not do that. Can’t say I’ll feel the same way once I’m out in the dirt. My repair idea is to take a BFH to straighten out the bulge, weld...

Thanks for the further insight on this. Looking at your photos and just ran out to check for any signs of cracking near the hood latch. Mine is fine so far. Original owner must have made a repair, not sure who or how they did it, but looks like preventative maintenance from original bulges...

I ended up finding one. Thanks
