Thanks, I have also looked at this being a potential "fix" if I switched vehicles and was bothered by the tank size. Did you have any suspension issues / changes with the added LRA aux tank? Ha, good point! I am well surrounded by truck owners on my street. I had not seen this as an option...

Hello All, A few questions as I am continuing to feel the gravitational pull towards a LC200... I have been debating trading my truck in for a 2016+ LC200. Currently household has a 2016 F150 platinum (my vehicle) and Lincoln Navigator (wifes). The truck is slowly gaining appreciation for its...

1974 FST Spooky Season!

Hi All, Now that I have had the cruiser for ~6 months I am wanting to fine tune the operation. 1974, emissions vehicle (bypassed) which is pretty stock mechanically other than DUI distributor. I have a few mechanical issues that I am trying see if they are all carb related. -If it has been...

Thanks guys, that’s a quick fix I can do with material at the house, and something I overlooked.

Here are a few picutres of the seat folded down, and with the tailgate closed. This is showing how the seat sits in the front brackets. You can get the seat in and out without removing the front brackets. Rear bolts have to be undone from the underside of cruiser. Depending on how...

Before mounting the front seat brackets, I used a non-slip foam pad. This adds a buffer layer from the brackets to the tub. After getting both front mounts bolted in next was to line up where the rear bolts would go to secure the seat. I had to do some trial and error by lifting the seat up...

Well, I did not want to add any Jeep parts to the 40, but I have 2 anxious kids who want a ride! I looked for any detailed threads on Mud and other sites, but mainly just found informative comments that "it could be done easily"and... it was pretty easy. I tried to keep the install as...

Thanks again everyone for the inputs. So I have since removed the tail lights and 4 broken bolt / screw heads later… There was quite the mess! Look at all the packed sand in the bumper housing! After cleaning up the tail light assembly housings I have soldered on a ground as other users...

Lot to reply to here, thank you for the detailed response. Yes, I will be sticking with the original OEM 4 pin style connector plug (unsealed first generation). As the 40 sits, I have both tail light assemblies which are currently grounded through the housing. Minus the tail lamp gaskets, the...

Thanks for all the help! I will look this over while under the cruiser tomorrow. Do you know if you had a WB wire present splicing out where the lead for your rear license plate light would be (under rear tub in between taillights). I haven’t seen one in the area. My FST has drop down...

Hi everyone, I have been pouring over the wiring schematics from Coolerman and others, but cannot seem to find one that is an exact match for wire color / directions. Maybe this is because its is a fun transition Sept 1974 FST, or maybe because it is a fun CA factory smog vehicle! Anyway...
