Hey Matt, when you decide to head out to Ouray let me know. I live South of Montrose and would love to take a look if you have time. Thanks, Doug

I’ve never used the AT205. I used Blue devil instead because it was mid-winter and snow everywhere. I bought everything to fix the leak but… that was 3+ years ago and no problems.

Looking for people who have had problems with the catalytic converters on their FZJ. I have a 97 with 240k on the clock that I’ve owned for over 13 years. A while back it started running very weak which came on fairly quick and for lack of better terms feels like it has asthma or COPD( I’m a...

Vsv was changed when I found the hose off on the bottom of the EGR vacuum modulator. All hoses under the manifold were replaced with high temp silicone about 3 years ago. I took my vacuum reading on the top of the intake manifold where the power brake booster hose port is. I didn't bother...

My 97 FZJ has a loss of power. Upon checking out multiple things I found the hose at the bottom of the egr modulator had came off and melted a hole in the modulator. I replaced the modulator and hose figuring that was the problem. It done the same thing again, except it didn't get a chance to...

Put a set of the Kenda RTs on the wife's Heep. Some of the best tires I've used so far. Priced well and minimal tread wear at 15K+ miles. Glad to hear others like them too.

Living at elevation I can say that my 97 HATES the, "ethanol enriched fuel". The only type of ethanol free we have locally is premium at about $4+/gal. When I drive on a warm day, from town (5800') to home (7100') the thing smells like a distillery . It's worse the higher up I go. Last year my...

I hope you find a good glass guy soon. My 97's flares are looking rough and it's time for some new. Good luck

You're doing better than me. I have the same dirt but with mouse turds showing up. Lazy stinking cats.💩

Sounds like you belong on MUD. With the way parts availability/prices are going on the 80s you need to able to build things yourself. Oh, and by the way, Welcome to the insanity!

Fuel pressure?

I painted my 72 Blazer with Rustoleum about 20 years ago using an electric sprayer. Wet sanded it first and thinned the paint down quite a bit. Sprayed several coats allowing it to tack between. I was able to get a real nice gloss by rubbing it out and waxing it after a few months of cure time...

Summit Racing has electric vacuum pumps for use on big cammed cars.

Ours has that strange smell too. I think ours is due to the wonderful amount of ethanol in our gas here. I know a good dirt bike won't hardly run on the stuff after sitting for a week or so. Same smell in it's gas tank as well.
