    O R I O N

    Hi Guys - #307 - 700R4 - 383 Stroker I've been loosely (so much so that I didn't know there is/was an HD version) following this thread for years and figured I would do some research prior to installing my Orion. I purchased case #307 from AA in June/July 2006. Assuming that the popping...

    New 8274-50's for $950 in Seattle

    Hey guys. I found a good place to get new 8274-50's in Seattle for a great price ($950). It may not make sense for the non-local guys but I want to make the locals aware of it. This company has an overstock of them. Here is the link: http://www.rasmussenco.com/SaleSpecials.php

    Ring and Pinion strength 3.83 vs 4.11

    Dang Poser, I was trying to get out of this without telling a huge embarrassing story. Here goes . . . I was in the process of installing a 4" HFS lift. Once I got the springs installed I decided to take it for a drive around the block. For some reason (i'd like to think it was a good one but...

    to buy or not to...70' 3 speed tranny

    I have a 3sp. cruiser tranny but I don't know what year. It does have the backup light switch. It came with an SM420 I picked up. Looks to be in really good condition. I'd sell it to you for $20. Don't know if it's any closer for you but I'm in Auburn, WA and get to the Seattle area nearly...

    Nice 55 spotted in Auburn, WA

    I saw a nice looking green/white '76 FJ55 with a MUD sticker in the rear window. It was in the Lakeland Hills area on Saturday 12/29/07. Is the owner on here? I live about 1/2 mile from you in the Viewridge sub-division.

    OEM Power Steering vs. Saginaw

    I have a 78 FJ40. It had a 2F in it and I converted to power steering using a steering box, pump and reservoir from an '85 mini-truck and a steering box bracket that I purchased. The pump bracket was modified to fit where the OEM smog pump was located. The only other component I added was a...
