2F freshen up for the '82 FJ40 named "Dusty." Manifold refurb, desmog, engine re-seal, new cooling system and general cleaning, powder coating, painting, etc.

Just spent a week in near VA Beach doing some work with the Navy, and the Ecoflow River Pro powering the fridge kept up at 100% daily even though it was cloudy and rainy every day. I parked my truck facing south when I could and used this...

Bars and restaurants who think that a server or bartender merely acknowledging your presence upon being seated is enough to keep you waiting 10+ minutes for them to return to you with a menu or glass of water while there are still a significant...

We just got started shoehorning 35/12.5 R 18's onto Nathan's 100. So far, so good! Thanks @Comet for the smoking deal you made Nathan on the wheels. He's stoked!

A bit of a strange ask: As part of an upcoming trip to Iceland later this year, I am debating renting a 4x4 to go on the F roads in Iceland. (F208 to be specific) Having done some research, I see that most of the f roads are just differentiated...

Offroaded to the Whale's Eye Arch in Arches National Park and ran into @pdot and his 100 series. While the rest of the asphalt bound tourists were elsewhere, we had the whole arch to ourselves (you can see it between the trucks in the background)...

Just to clear up any questions regarding whether a 100 series CDL actuator will work in a HF2AV transfer case, I can unequivocally say it will. However, the wiring harness connector is different. I recently swapped a diesel and A750F transmission...

Those are the longer magnetic type. https://www.marlincrawler.com/hardware-tools/hardware/low-profile-magnetic-drain-plug These are a bit shorter.

Got my L83 and stopped for a beer at Bale Breakers right in the heart of Hop country. It's after harvest but before that all of Nob Hill smells like one big IPA.

Well, time to bid farewell to the 4.5L. Almost 30 years and 400k+ miles it was a good run. But, don't worry it will be bringing smiles to the next owner.

Nice!!! I know there is one excited 15 year old girl waiting to get that motor in "her" 80. Lol Did you see torfabs new kit for the Gen V and 8-10 speed transmissions? Makes the entire swap into FZJ80s a bolt on job...

I can make it. Some time after the 21st works for me.

Marlin or Toyota? The Marlin drain plugs appear to be extra long but I guess no issues on the 80 diffs, trans, and TC?

https://www.marlincrawler.com/parts-upgrade/hardware/super-low-profile-magnetic-drain-plug Buy these To replace the stock ones. Order 2 with steel washer for both diffs Order 2 with aluminum washer for your trans and tcase. One of the...

Lseat is great, if you are flipping the vehicle for a quick sale. I installed my Lseat covers in 2017 and they look awful. The leather is tearing and cracking in the wear areas. I too am shopping for leather covers, again. Mosley is high on...

Gotta give it to the super engaged vendor

Welcome aboard. It would be nicer to see a couple good photos of your 80 rather than that magnificent tent.

I selling my son's minibike. He never really got into it and only rode it a handful of times. Coleman BT200X with dual LED headlights, heavy duty cargo rack, and digital tachometer. It's got less than 20 miles on it. Asking $550 --- SOLD ---

I carry this in the truck. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08KRHJ3LP

What gauge mount did you use on the A-pillar?

After installing my supercharger and replacing my main engine harness, my first fire up was quite eventful. It took 2 to 3 cranks to get it started. When it did start, it was idling at 300 to 400 rpm and barely running. I shut it off and...

Update to the ongoing saga. This is a real head scratcher. Wherever I go, mechanics draw back in fright seeing the TRD supercharger and jump to the assumption that the performance issue is related to the supercharger. Here's a new thought after...

Update: After being missing for over a YEAR, I'm happy to say my 80 has been recovered!! It's a long story but after being stolen and sold again, it ended up in the very capable, and innocent hands of an enthusiast. He put some love into it and...

I recently cleaned by drains with weedeater line, however I followed that up by pushing warm water from a 60ml syringe into the drain line to confirm it was clean and blast out any remaining crude. off Amazon. A multipack of syringes are...

Looks like a windshield AM/FM antenna. It's possible the original motorized antenna broke and this was their solution.
