Yeah, right? Let’s keep going haha! That wire does get brittle though, with all the manifold heat. The wiring I do on my truck is nice, but not that one … I think it has three butt splices where I’ve cut out brittle areas and replaced them. I...

While driving, perhaps even while stopped, with the radiator fan pushing air through the engine bay I don't think the carb fan would add any benefit. Putting the carb fan on a switch has benefits and drawbacks. Benefit is that the brittle...

Carb fan to prevent starting issues when hot is a benefit. The fan on my fan no longer works, I think the wire to the sensor is broken. Sometimes after driving and stopping on a hot day, then starting and driving I'll experience a brief hiccup...

Highest elevation I've encountered has been ca. 9000 ft driving across southern NM and had no fuel related issues in doing so.

I don't think the fuel line insulation helps, probably also doesn't hinder. I've never experienced any fuel related issues running in 90+ heat in the SE US and 100+ heat in SW US.

Sitting at 475 trouble free miles so far. All of these miles I've been varying the rpms, never staying at one single rpm for very long. What an annoying way to drive - for me and for everyone else on the road. We've been trying to stick to...

For you guys going to SAS, I was just making sure Colorado is still gloriously there.

Fieldwork in the Red Hills of south Alabama . No window tint, no AC, didn’t die.

Run it. I've been driving without the rear passenger side for months and a few thousand miles over all types of road and terrain. Haven't died, lost control, or otherwise experienced any overly adverse effects of missing that one shock. I do...

There was a dead 100 and a dead 200 on top We took California over to the main road and Jonathan and the 80 bailed

Mineral Creek Optional line

While I was the first person ToyotaMatt banned/blocked, it was because he was taking advantage of the general ignorance people have of how the Toyota system works. This was over ten years ago. I called him out on it. I got banned/blocked...

From the pass down we ran into a bunch of Cruisers coming up and had to wait about 30 minutes. *gripe hat on* If you venture onto a one-way section of trail with 15* vehicles, run it tight. Don't have 300 yard gaps. *hat off* We jumped...

As others have said a bad MC, internally leaking. I've experienced this on two different Cruisers. A quick jab of the pedal and you have solid brake pressure, but a gentle pressing of the pedal and it sinks to the floor. Replace the MC and you...

Imogene Pass

I hooked it south into Governors Basin with a side track through Sidney Basin clockwise. I had to use the magic Crawl on a couple of spots on that optional loop. Recommend. I made it almost to the furthest mine and the bottom fell out of...

After I got out I hooked a left and went to the top of Yankee Boy Basin. Plenty of traffic but it thinned out a ton once the trail got hard at the top

Red has a remote work job so she is staying at the house while I go ride the mountains. Today I was solo. Saw this beauty on the way up Took Imogene almost to Telluride but there was a landslide so I had to backtrack. Got on the trail early...

Drove it 70+ miles today. It runs ok, not great but good enough on flat road. Current issues are that when cold idle is ca. 700 (this is good), but once warm idle may jump to 1200 or at times around 2000 (not good). Acceleration from a stop is...

@Dudemanslick Cruiser shop OTM is in Leeds and it’s run by @Bama4door I’d take there and have the professionals look it over.

Auxiliary cooling fan removed from 80 series that fits in front of the radiator on the passenger side. Fan includes wiring and relay. I've tested the fan with 12v and it works. I don't know how it was originally wired in the 80, whether by a...

Solid work Jim, 80 looks great. Love seeing the kubota putting in work

Replaced the rear lock actuator in the rear hatch yesterday. Used this part number. Now all doors and the rear hatch lock. Linkage within the upper hatch is not that difficult to unattach and reattach. Just pay attention to how the actuator...

Smaller diameter alternator pulley for a 1FZ alternator, may fit other models but I don't know. Smaller diameter pulley is to increase alternator rpm at lower engine rpm for increased electrical output at the lower engine rpm. The pulley for...
