FJRanger's latest activity

Held vacuum overnight - ran for another hour or so to get out more moisture, then put two 12oz cans of R134a in this morning. AC is blowing cold, can't get vent temps because "we" broke the other thermometer, but if I had to guess it's in the 40s...

LFG!!!! Still low O2 at high RPM, hmm. Pretest showed CO slow to drop into range but we got that figured out. Did not run E85 - was just whatever was in the tank. Also set timing at the usual 7* BTDC. Big thanks to @65swb45 Mark at Mark's...

Oh boy. Went and did a thing. Son went with me to just "check out" this sweet 1983 FJ60 that has been sitting for.. a while. Last registered in 2000, been on non-op since. But, as far as I can tell, it's also about the most rust free and no...

I've always tried to use Toyota or Denso whenever possible. However, when it comes to rotors there are better options. On more than one occasion I've had brand new OEM rotors come to me out of spec. One set was so bad I had to turn them so they'd...

I want the part numbers for the OEM 17" aluminum wheels!

I recently added a small fan up front. Every other vehicle I ever had with air conditioning had a small Pusher on the front of the condenser. I figured it couldn't hurt? One tricky part was finding a 24 volt fan. The other was finding one small...

This is the route I’ll most likely be going when the time comes. However, I’m still good just under 50K.

Here’s a good thread about brakes: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/upgrading-brakes-for-more-stopping-power.1307753/page-2#post-15793089

Been several SAS folks through the RustyNailRacing shop this week to keep all our friends going. If you need help before you head home don't hesitate to holler! Justin 970-261-9757

Checked out some new to me trails around Wood lake 😎

So @shanko and I have been having fun on the way home. Just east of Moriarity, New Mexico, Sean blew his panhard bracket to bits, kept it on the road and narrowly avoided getting squished on the highway by a tractor trailer. We cobbled it back...

Another speed mod today. The stripe gave it many horsepowers so a fancy grill badge should add torques. Right?

Eaton is junk for Toyota diffs. The is the second rear I have had fail. Also the unlocking and non-instant locking is terrible on technical obstacles.

Thanks. Me too. I know a dealer could have swapped a transmission, but it’s reassuring to have Slee examine it first and not just default to “oh you need a new transmission”. And to know they’ll have an opportunity to go over the mechanical bits...

This ended up being caused by a bad tone ring. Threw the entire AHC out of whack because it couldn’t determine wheel speed, so it went into limp mode.. Easy fix, but I’m deleting AHC anyway. It’s time for an offroad specific suspension.

74weld on record focusing current development efforts on the LC200 and 2nd gen Tundra

Long time lurker, first time poster... Finally got my hands on a 2008 JDM LC200 (with a 4.7L V8 (2UZ-FE) engine, cloth interior, no sunroof, no KDSS, just gen1 crawl control) with 51K kms! ~4 months after winning the auction, it finally got...

Made my way to Idaho for Roll Coal build Motel Cool rig Long Range Tanks Aidan

Last...

So I have been running the 80 without visors for years and finally decided to call and get a set. Great timing, they are releasing an 80 series specific set now. I think they start shipping in august and look to be $15 more that the original...

a couple rafts.

Couple pics from today

Quick trip to the Owhyee for some camping…until the wind, rain and lightning made us go home with a soaked tent. Kids still had fun though

Why is this bench seat set up so cool. Beach run, fishing trip, a bird shoot..... Cant wait to get this rolling... soon.
