    SOLD COMPLETE 1996 Hilux Surf salvage - BC Canada

    Note: I had a few Mudders message me asking how to import this into the US. I have no idea. Try calling a company that imports "front cuts" from Japan and Australia. This entire truck will cost you about half what they charge for just the front, so it's worth doing some research. Truck is...

    FJ40 in new Beastie Boys video

    I'm always amazed that a 70s/80s LC is still surviving in New York. Rust!!!

    tank restoration...

    CIL single stage. I think it's polyurethane-based. I don't have any cans left but if it's detailed on the receipt I'll post up. It's a 5' job, for sure. Not going to win any concours events, but on the whole it turned out pretty good, I think. :cool:

    I can't because I'm using the oven to make meth :hillbilly:

    tank restoration...

    Nope. My weekends are owned by the Army for the forseeable future. Besides, the tank is curing. I figure I can put it on later tomorrow, and be out on Wednesday, weather-permitting. We should go for a ride!

    tank restoration...

    I used the Kreem three-stage kit for the liner, but started with 1.5 gallons of undiluted acetone to remove the remnants of the old liner. Then a thorough rinse. The Kreem kit comes with a bottle of phosphoric acid that neutralizes rust and etches the metal. Then once I did two cycles with...

    tank restoration...

    I did that, too. The stuff in the photo was only from the first "shake session". I did it six more times until there was nothing left to fall out. The first three shakes provided about the same amount of crap, then it started to get less junky. I had to stop, eventually, because my arms fell off.

    tank restoration...

    Looks like there won't be any riding for the next week or so, because of snow and ice everywhere. So I decided to reline my tank. I washed it out with water and detergent, than 100% acetone, then a few more rinses with water/soap ratios. Check out all the crap that came out! It's soaking...

    talk to me about the part-time kit...

    I got the same effect just by removing my front shaft. I landed a contract that had me driving about 200 round-trip miles a day for two months, including a 1200' ascent/descent at highway speeds. I took out the shaft at that point to see what the difference would be and because I'm having it...

    talk to me about the part-time kit...

    So Beno, am I right in assuming that a typical p/t kit includes manual hubs, AND a spool for the t/c?
