yeah, good point - I do run welding cable for the big stuff/long runs. (I'd always assumed it was a better option than automotive wire)
I think I'm going with 4ga - it's from the driver's side battery, across the cowl, then back to the...
I use Wirebarn's calculator (Wire Size Calculator - https://www.wirebarn.com/Wire-Size-Calculator-_ep_41.html)
Remember, there are different wire types, and I mostly use automotive grade (GXL/TXL). They have much higher temp rating compared...
@Kernal
You were exactly right. That "setting" (Repair Manual Speak) on the Transmission Control Rod was off. It took me three attempts to get it right but finally its in the right place. There is no trouble anymore in keeping the shift knob...
IIRC there's no adjustment of the shifter under the Position Indicator housing or on the shifter lever plate (above), all adjustments are below the floor (under the vehicle) on the shift control rod (transmission) or "linkage" rod. AFAIK and...
Under the 80, the tank line is this line with an outer hose type of protection. I simply separated the two, then cut it and bent it using a 9mm deep socket. It was already bent out from the other two from the factory, so I didn't have to bend...
@nashqadri , your attachment at transmission is at the very end of the range, which is odd.
Do you have both washers installed on the outside? Are they installed in the correct order? Locking washer on the outside, and flat washer on the...
Merl got a new hat today.
GFC V2 Pro RTT 🤘😎
I attempted a solo install which I don’t recommend and had to get the wife out to lend a quick hand.
It wasn’t suuuuuper hard but it sucked lol. Maybe the first solo install of a gfc.
The tent has...
Well life has been really busy ! I'm supposed to be retired or semi retired or something like that 😂🤣 but it seem that I have been busier then when I worked full time.
Anyways when I got home from SAS I did not have time to check out my rig. In...
Following.
I was interested in that swap, but I thought the turbo and other components hanging off the side might present installation issues.
Plus, Mitch at Swaptime was still figuring out that engine and harness...
I couldn't be happier...
I've had the OEM JDM fan on my rig for quite a while now, but after upgrading to a modded blue fan clutch, I've found it to be unnecessary even on the hottest of Florida's Summer days
In fact the blue FC will move so much air that it will suck...
Yeah it’s close to the limit…but still cools like a champ…
My reasoning for documenting this detail isn’t to get my post count up but to help other who buy this kit and discover there’s no instructions outside of a parts list…this way folks have...
Something anyone who’s been here long knows to look for:
Two studs in the back were finger tight. Thankfully the nut hugger did its job . . .on one nut I guess. Preventative measures only go so far. Gonna get on ASR parts and get a new set...
I was wondering about the foam as I remembered a couple of plastic bushings..
I mean, if OP is doing all that work, I would take apart the 4WD lever assembly and regrease it as well.
Replace these two bushings (grommets in Toyo–speak):
Be prepared: they'll set you back a cup of coffee's worth of green.
There are two bushings on the shift lever rod (axle), too.
@nashqadri : can you describe the play in the shifter ie: does it rock side to side, is it sloppy front to back, or is there rotational movement if you twist the shifter handle?
Already mentioned a few times above, definitely check the linkage...
I have never really heard of this issue.
Time to take apart the center console, and inspect transmission hard linkage underneath.
There is a cross tube that transfers and it might be jamming up.
Yup. Power steering and driver side header was very tight on my swap. I figured the drive shaft would have hit sway bar over bumps or something so I fabricated the temporary sway bar drop at the time from the high density polyethylene (HDPE)...
Part III - Pressure Switch Activation of Aux Fan for better A/C Condenser Cooling.
In Part II, you will find the relay trigger options for wiring the pusher Aux fan for maximizing A/C condenser efficiency. In Part III, I will detail the...
