@Spike Strip I work with BG Products and their BG EPR (Engine Performance Restoration) sounds like an alternative to this. Dump in the 11oz can. Run the engine a little bit and then do a normal oil change. Pulled from their website: Would it help? Maybe. I have a can of it and thought about...

I’ve always drained my oil with the engine warm and I let it drain for a while. The new oil filter gasket is lubricated with fresh oil but not pre-filled (upside down, impossible). I will never drain another 8 quarts and change the upside down oil filter after I have just done it. tl;dr -...

I don’t see any issue using a gasket that has residue… it will have FIPG on it again, right? Maybe share a pic of where it is. I did my oil pan not too long ago. Also on my back in the garage. I think I tied the gasket in place with string or used zip ties like @CruiserTrash . I didn’t really...

I like the idea of this product and I wondered if anyone had tried them yet. I don’t even have working AC at the moment, but when I do I feel like just getting the windows tinted again would be the answer. For people with sleeping platforms or who sleep in their truck; do you think they would...

Interesting scenario here. If the desmog was done poorly I would check wiring to the coil, the amplifier, and to the compressor. Those wires would all be on or around the passenger inner fender. Maybe something is hooked up wrong or spliced in. I’ll be interested to see the solution.

I have my oxygen sensor mounted a little ways back from where my header pipes merge. I checked with Holley and they state 6-8” away from where the pipes merge, mounted at proper angle, etc. I’ll be honest I’m not sure exactly the distance mine is mounted from the collector, but I’d recommend...

Thanks @Spike Strip and @CruiserTrash - I was a little off in my assessment. And good on you @Claytonk for finding the post. Sorry my information was slightly off.

It connects to the intake manifold. The factory piece/fitting it attaches to is also a vacuum source for the brake booster. I can see it in your first picture. Follow the larger rubber hose next to the brake fluid reservoir (up and over) to the intake manifold and you will see it.

That interior is perfect. I’d probably do something very similar in terms of door cards and rear seat matching, etc. Clean interior. How do you like the seats? I’m 6’5” and really want to change my seats. All my height is in my torso. I wear pants with a 32” inseam. Sorry for details, but it...

Nice progress @ryaneddy16 I haven’t even got mine out of the garage yet since I put it away in late November! We will wheel together again someday!

@John McVicker I don’t have personal experience with this, but after some googling and reading other posts it sounds like the mechanisms are physically different by design. In short, no they can’t be swapped side to side.

Pictures of my pedals, 05/84 FJ60. Just line up the pedal with the stop bolt on the floor. Seems like there might be some wiggle room left and right though.

Just checked on my 05/84 FJ60 and it goes to the ground bolt for the battery tray. Runs underneath the AC hoses in the loom and then under the diagonal cross support and then turns up, grounded.

A great option from a great guy @CruiserTrash https://cruisertrashparts.com/products/fj60-fusible-link-replacement-kit
