@Spike Strip I’m not saying this Wix is a bad filter, in fact after reading your post I’m going to order a couple…I too like the fact that it’s metal & not plastic…BUT that Wix part # for me comes up as made in China on Amazon.
Here's what I did for battery terminals, but I had to search the interwebs for those old-style slee terminal extension brackets as I believe they are now discontinued. I found a new unused set on TacomaWorld.com from a private seller...
I realized many years and many trails ago that in my world, a winch is a no brainer must have part of any rig that travels off road solo. Even before you factor in how the significance of being stuck a ways out is complicated by wife and child...
Hadn't driven the 60 since last Nov (I leave it on a trickle charger) and since today was a nice day, I though I take off the cover and drive around for a bit. Drove very well for about 20 mins, then all of a sudden, truck just stumbles and...
Transmission/transfer case, rear main, oil pan & gasket, clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, bell housing, clutch slave cylinder, transmission mount. All either replaced, rebuilt or at the minimum cleaned & painted.
✅ Done
Trouble is, while I...
Good weekend for Coleman stuff. 400 does need a new valve knob. Both run great.
Went to pick up the 400A and seller gave away a 424 with it.
Responding to a listing for several cots, seller threw in the pictured 508A, a similar condition...
We only got 6" of heavy, wet snow this morning in the mountains west of the Rio Grande in northern New Mexico. Luckily our 40 year-old son was able to come by and help with the shoveling. It's getting a bit harder now that I'm in my '70s - I...
Yes, hookers are real pros when it comes to fluid exchange.
Another point about brakes is that the dead volume in the brake system increases as the brake pads and shoes wear out. This makes it easier for bubbles to hide in the system and harder...
The 17” wheels came in primer and faded quickly. I liked the finish and color but it didn’t work out. I did a quick spruce up with rustoleum semi gloss and primer.
I’m trying to be fancy on a budget. I even used far less spray paint than I...
I did hundreds of brake jobs back when I was turning wrenches for a living and they were still making FJ40s. We never had a problem bleeding brakes except when the master cylinder was bad and then we replaced it and never bench bled it and never...
Drove the Trollpatrol up to Tryon Saturday and winched a monster red oak burl about 50 yards out of a ravine. Had to weigh a good 3k or so. I’m surprised the frame didn’t rip in half because I broke all kinds of recovery gear getting it out...
Also, if anybody wants this motor when pulled, it’ll be for sale. There’s no damage, but it would be considered a core for rebuild. Compression right now is 130-115-115-115-115-130. Those all go up 15-20psi on a wet compression test. There’s some...
Rebuilt transmission and t-case going in tonight and tomorrow. Pulled the oil pan for ease of popping in the RMS and to check around for a smoking gun on my “weird lower end noise”. Looks like I’ll be rebuilding my spare 2F and swapping it in...
Rebuilt the spare tire holder hinges.
Bronze bushings 16mm id and 20mm od.
16mm SS bolts, washers and locking nuts. Polished up the inner bushing races with a Dremel sanding disc.
Had to order the bolts special since not many places stock...
Found this in the trash this past weekend, cant believe someone would get rid of this thing! Its in amazing shape, not a single issue with it, has a build date of 12/76.
