This thread seems like a good place to continue Mark's story. Yes, 27 years ago while milling around Mark's shop with my newly acquired FJ45, asking all sorts of questions, I mused about the possibly of a headache rack. That was one of the few original equipment things that had been removed...
What is the best washer to use when reassembling the intake and header? On the six M12 studs.

FourTreks Clamps, 1 ¾” Inner Diameter, with Modular Tool Mounts

I recently had the same question about my truck since where I live I would not have to pass emissions for a 1966 model year, but I do with a...
