Ok thanks. I had to go out of town and have not had a chance to try anything.

Thanks Hoser. I’ll give that a try tomorrow.

Lately pulling on the hood release inside will not “pop” the hood. The only way to open it is to have someone push down slightly on the hood while pulling the inside release. Even this does not cause the hood to pop up slightly, but does allow me to lift it up enough to slide the under hood...

What is the Sony model number? Also, what kit? Thanks.

I had an indy shop replace all my steel brake lines (had rust spots) with nickel/copper so they won't rust in the future. Those plus the rubber lines to the calipers, all in, cost around $800.

Should have mentioned in my last post, he was using the same cell number then as he is now. That's how i figured it was the same person you were talking about.

Just found this thread while perusing the 60/62 classified section. About 2-3 years ago i saw a supposedly nice FJ60 on ebay. I had a friend pick it up and bring it to his buddy's shop for an inspection. The shop owner specialized in transmissions. His advice was to pass as he believed the...

@GoISU your message box is full. Had you spray my F150 last year and need my Cruiser done this year now that i got some work underneath it done. Can you message me your number? Thanks.

I don't have the invoice handy, but i know it was in the $700 range.

Last month i had all my brake lines replaced. Basically from after the ABS unit to the calipers. All hard lines and rubber lines. The shop bent the lines. They used Nickel/Copper so no more worries about rust, as currently i live in the Midwest (hopefully not too much longer).

Basically all new brake lines. Still original in the engine compartment area/out of ABS unit then all new hard lines to all four corners. New rubber lines to calipers.

@Evan Sturtevant You can get the resonator from Toyota ($$) or I know Bosal makes one as well that is much cheaper, not sure on the quality. For the stainless steel Walker muffler, fabricated tail pipe and installation i paid about $425. Deleting the resonator does not change the sound much...

Finally got a new muffler and tailpipe. Went with the stainless steel Walker. My resonator was shot as well but did not want to replace that. I had a shop install the muffler and fabricate/bend a tailpipe up/over the axle and out the back. Sounds good but kind of miss the rumble of a shot...

@Leandro Thanks for the offer, i'm sure i will hit you up sooner or later. And as far as it being mostly drinking beer, i'm good with that too.

I also have the "pleasure" of living in Illinois if anyone decides to get together let me know. I may be hitting up @Leandro to show me how to cap off my rear A/C lines (beer provided of course).
