When was the last time the water pump, timing belt, fan stand were done? Recommended replacement is every 90k so 90, 180, 270, etc. You car coming up on the 180 real quick Nevermind. Seen it was just done.

What product did you use? Did you apply it directly to the fuel tank or the tank skid? Thanks

Cut out the exploded muffler and welded in a replacement. It is a DynoMax 17748 that has been recommended in a few threads on here. Welding on your back with little access is a real pain. It's hard to get a good bead with slag raining down on your neck and running down your shirt. On a side...

I have the front and transmission skidplates. Mine fit exceptionally well. I have no misaligned holes as others have stated. I've had them on and off a couple of times for various repairs and upgrades and don't really find them that difficult to reinstall. I would love to try out the transfer...

Went to Cruisers On The Rockies last week and ran into some issues at altitude. I could not fill my gas tank without it clicking off constantly, my fuel tank was building up pressure, and fuel was spilling out. Also lost a coil pack on the way home. Once I got home, I hit Rockauto and PartSouq...

It helps a little. I have 4.88 gears in a 99 and still have to use 2nd to get up the hills in Colorado.

So...maybe sometime between August and October? Guess I will just wheel my Land Rover until then. :)

Anyone know when the next sale is going to be? While I was at Cruisers In The Rockies, I discovered I need a new ABS/Brake booster. Sucks I just missed this sale.

Do you have the link or part number for the motor you replaced it with?

Lockers are in. The rear 9.5 locker is great. I dont think I would use the 8 inch clamshell locker again. It was very difficult to setup but I did eventually get it to spec out. What I don't like is that I had to use multiple shims on one side instead of just 1 or 2. I also had to modify the...

Seen this beaut in Gruene in front of Tacos and Tequila. This clean FJ60 was pulling into the River Chase subdivision in New Braunfels.

I used Nolathane rack bushings. I watched a Youtube video by user ChowCares on the bushing replacement and these are what he used. I also hear Whiteline is a good brand. I do not have stock suspension but I do have a a larger than factory rake like you do. My front is 21.5 and the rear is 23...

Just to follow up. I did get the poly rack bushings installed yesterday and now it barely pulls to right. Steering is more firm and responsive and the return to center is better. I will get it to the alignment shop, but I believe they will be able to get it straight now. The PCK is still on the...

I have this same issue and was just told by the alignment shop that my steering rack bushings were shot. I've got some Poly bushings on the way to see if that fixes the issue. I am lifted. My front is at 21.5 or so. Also the rear sits at around 23 which is higher than stock. I've read that the...

Anyone had to do this? I went to get an alignment and the tech said the steering rack moved so much he couldn't align it. They wanted $617.00 to change out the bushings. I ordered some Poly bushings on Amazon for around $30. I've got the old ones out and waiting on the new to arrive, but what a...
