I'm ready.

that's the idea, yes.

it's a "when I can get it to the top of the list" type of situation. Currently re-engineering Bump It Offroad's protection catalog, adding in a few desirable 80 series accessories. Knowing there is demand helps me consider accelerating the...

This one owner California truck is in the shop. Owner bought it new when he was 25. Going to work on making the original paint pop After

Haltech (the 750 won't run knock sensors) or ECU Masters EMU Black. Sniper is just a glorified carb. Real EFI with the injectors near the ports, is the one true path. I have one, and have already scanned it.

I am a total fan of the 1fz. You have the distance between the back of the transmission and the rear end to squeeze an H150/151/152(with input swap) in there. That may be the best move. You can either agonize through the 1fzfe wiring process...

@FJ60Cam has completed this swap, don’t think he had any posts on mud about it. Pretty sure it was not an easy swap but well worth after completion. On the 1fz note you’re not getting any more power out of a rebuilt engine unless you are doing...

A thought. What about a 1FZ instead of a 1FZ-FE? Go with the carbed version and keep it simple. You'd need to source an intake and carb from overseas, and maybe a head, but you would not have to deal with an ECU and the additional wiring.

I have enjoyed my time in the slow lane for the last 13 years or so, but nearly getting run over by semi's any time I venture out onto I40 is wearing thin. My 2F head has been done twice and I think someone screwed it up along the way as I'm...

@dogfishlake

I'll pm you shortly. Sorry Crazy land at career #1

Hi; does anyone have a good way to get in touch with the Bowfin Cruisers folks? Need to order a replacement latch and haven’t been about to connect with them…thx

I can't believe no one has ragged on the Xterra yet :cool: ; guess I should just be appreciative.

The truck has always been garaged under my ownership and never exposed to salted roads. I hope the price is fair. I have not seen many other LHD units for sale. I have a few thousand more, approximately $42K invested since purchase and have...

Very cool! Thanks for sharing this. My HZJ-73 has the adjustable lamps, and they are getting long in the tooth. I didn't even try looking for replacements because I assumed they would be unavailable. Never assume........

Yes, I know.

Just wanted to share my DIY, at home with basic tools, not-an-engineer, armrest solution. Leather upholstery sold separately. First, I bought one of these, widely available on multiple online marketplaces as a universal armrest. Then I shaved...

@SNLC probably puts 3 marks. He is the Michelangelo in LC build. 😀

@orangefj45 Valley Hybrids does as well. That’s 3! I put a blue marking for torque and a yellow for checking the torque again. But then again I’m not shop. 😀

Refreshed the suspension on the BJ74 over the last couple days, Terrain Tamer parabolic leafs (thanks George and Roarke!), 5.8” shackles and U-bolt flip kits from MAF, & cheap and longer BDS shocks for now. I was able to clean up and reuse the...

snorkel in place.TIG and powder coated Cardinal BK208 .. total cost $350.

Used my the 8274 to pull out a horse trough I buried about 10 years ago. It was a planter to contain bamboo that only survived a few years. It was pulling the truck, with three wheels blocked. Initially tried 'lifting' it with the snatch block...

Defied the laws of physics yesterday...must have had a tailwind. I was not able to confirm with a cell-phone app. But I was passing people on the freeway, something that rarely happens.

couple of thing... Custom snorkel and installing the electrical on the EATON F/R lockers. I replaced the bulky, messy wiring with a 3 relay block (2 will serve the lockers and 1 the lights) and adding the OEM switches with potted connected...

Got it out for a bike ride yesterday.
