Hey All, I have a 1hz troopy that we use to overland / drive between Oregon and Utah and we get some heavy smoke. It happens at different times and I was hoping someone might have a guess as to why. Here's the different scenarios / smoke: Overlanding When we're out on trails typically we...

Any thoughts on where to tap into the coolant?

going to put the EGT here, found this on an old thread.

On second thought, I'm not so sure I need an AC compressor. The belt broke, and I initially though it was BC the pulley on the compressor was going out. I think now the issue might have just been a loose belt. Maybe one of you guys can tell me if this is normal... VIDEO OF AC PULLEY WHEN AC...

Reviving this thread from the dead. I have a 1HZ, planning to buy this kit Digital Dual Channel Gauge Set, w/ EGT Probe & Oil/Water Sensor [Combo-EGTS-OWT] - $139.45 : Auber Instruments, Inc., Temperature control solutions for home and industry -...

Thanks for the info. This is sort of what i was wondering, basically is this normal? sounds like it is somewhat normal. I'll go out and check the UJ like you described.

I've sort of loosing my mind trying to figure out what is causing my troopy to shudder when I'm accelerating and decelerating on the highway. Mostly it occurs in 5th gear but it does show up in 4th as well. Essentially I hit a spot in the throttle where if I'm putting my foot into it I feel a...

Thank you for the info. I heard that spring sucks hahah I've seen a few videos so far. I wonder if there's a tool that could make it easier... Jason at cruiser outfitters hooked me up with some parts links below for anyone looking in the future: Timing Belt Kit - Timing Belt Kit - w/ Water...

Hey all, I'm needing to replace: Water pump Fun clutch Timing belt AC compressor I found a kit online for the water pump and fun clutch, (Online Auto Parts | Car & 4X4 Parts - Right Fit, Right Price -...

I'm with you 100%. After i picked up the new hub kit I also noticed that the conical washers installed in the image above are too large. They don't seat all the way down to the shearing plane of the bolt. So I think the gap is causing the bolt to be loaded in shear and a little bit of bending...

Great idea with the mig welder! I ended up getting a new hub but i do want this one as a backup so I'll fiddle around with trying to get the studs out now. The surviving side - the nuts we're all below torque. The hardware also fits a lot different than on the newly installed side. The conical...

Thanks for all the inputs and the correction! I'll for sure pull it and have a look around.

for what it's worth, here's my surviving hub. Might just replace it too for good measure. At least I'll know it's my fault next time it breaks.

I'm looking now and wondering if I'm full on missing a gasket between the hub and axle flange.
