Too hot for the rocks tomorrow so Rock-O and I will prolly swing by

My buddy’s 300k+ FZJ80 transmission puked its fluid all over Hwy 550 by Hesperus. What’s his best options? New? Rebuild? Any local shop recommendations albuquerque or 4corners? He needs this rig operational for a multi state trip in September.

Valve lash Do not mix up your buckets and shims/valve lifters and valves! It's much easier when you put the valve and lifter back where it was removed from. Got it worked out though.

A lot of stuff the big name tire shops won't touch, the Mexican tire shops will patch without hesitation.

Tin Cup Colorado, good times. Good friends beautiful scenery & weather.

HOPEFULLY I’ll be wheeling but if not I’m in thanks Jeff!

Don’t get the CSF. I know toast had an issue with one and I just pulled one out and it’s ruined. This is the lower rad inlet pipe and it crushed from me trying to get the hose off by hand. I was wiggling the hose up and down due to already...

Installation of an 8274 on a TJM bumper on a Lexus LX450. When I bought the Cruiser it had a Superwinch X9, the winch worked sort of, not well. I had it off, cleaned all the contacts and wire ends, reinstalled and it still failed to function...

This truck has changed a few hands since I sold it back in 2021, first buyer had it for a year or so then it popped up on eBay. Second buyer was a fella up in Phoenix who had bought it for his 16 year old son as a first truck, then it made it's...

Test the threads. Make sure the bolt travels the whole thread range using gentle thumb and forefinger pressure. Now the block needs to be thoroughly cleaned.

Cleaning up main and head bolt threads. Torque applied to these bolts is very important. Binding due to dimensional anomalies is counterproductive.

dont have much for specialty tools but I'm pretty good at shootin the s*** while we work on somthing, also have the basic tools and a driveway thats pretty well shaded if anyone needs help with something around Los Alamos

That's what I've been doing! Haven't had any fuel smell issues since. EDIT: Here's the check valve I used https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/NOE47170?srsltid=AfmBOoqRfzaLVJC84uCr-tQg1JG5TTyhWvTzLHKQ7bEtKpMFpyFvhta4BeQ&gQT=1

After Ali helped me with the rear springs he educated me on coil spring suspensions. He had two suggestions. First, get skids on the trailing arms. Second, correct the angle on the track bar. As much as I give this fella crap for spending other...

I wonder if that is a common product- I got a similarly corroded set of rims cheap for rollers

Do not use a degreaser containing lye or other metal hydroxide on aluminum! These ingredients will eat/react with your nice aluminum parts. UGLY! These wheels were purchased this way. Good deal on the Dunlop tires though.

Toyota did not use 1/8 NPT on the 22R engine! Toyota used 1/8 BSPT. 1/8 NPT is not compatible with 1/8 BSPT. I had to build an adaptor to get my 1/8 NPT oil pressure gage to fit the 22r engine. Included are a few of the engine components...
