Thank you for the write up, just ended up doing this on mine as well. Replaced the charcoal with some aquarium activated charcoal and sealed the can with Jb weld.The check valve ball was seized so i drilled it out, i ended up putting a 1/4" check...
Okay MUD brain trust, how are we loading our paddle-propelled boats onto high/lifted rigs? I upgraded to an Alu-Cab wedge tent, just got the load bars to go on top of the tent and got my ol' Wilderness Systems Tarpon 120 ready for water after 4+...
A while back I brokered a deal on an FJ60 for the daughter of one of our Mud members here when she came to Alaska for the summer right after she graduated college. It is actually a pretty long and interesting story but I'll stick to the sorta...
Once my new space is done and operational, I’ll be running these again. After several years of design/engineering/prototypes and several production runs with slight tweaks to further dial things in, they’re the best they’ve ever been. No frame...
Sounds like your engine and its cooling components are in good shape at this point but the overheating during prolonged high RPM still happens, I second that this is a partially clogged cat (likely the forward cat). I had an overheating issue...
@SUMMIT CRUISERS Jr 's Swing out is the bee's knees! I have the DIY weld kit and absolutely love it; his new bolt-up design appears ingenious and I'd be first in line if I needed one. I know the 4x4Labs was mentioned but the drawback with that...

For the price you can't beat the OEM Tokico iterations.
48511-69435 Fronts
48531-69417 Rears
They come with new bushings and the fronts will have the top lock nuts. If the truck lives in a rusty area I would recommend the retainers for the...
Here are some pictures for your amusement:
Both fans are sitting on blue hubs. There is a significant difference in blade protrusion between the old and new fans. I think after 30 years of sucking 200 degree air, the fan doesn't really owe me...
Honestly dude, I was not worried about heat until the feedback I started getting 😆 It’s a little something I like to call “peer reviewed research and design” or PRR&D.
I've been through 4 radiators over 4 years with two being from fan strikes.
The TYC1918 is a thick radiator with superior performance but doesn't like fan tickles. This particular fan strike was from normal driving and the resulting leak was...
Took your comments back to the drawing board. Definitely don’t want to cook this new battery… Added side ventilation holes (very large) as well as two slats to add to the bottom of the tray for more air flow.
