I’ve been collecting parts for the last year. Time to make it public and get it done after Relic Run. Picked up the last major Piece of the puzzle today. 5.3 with a 6l90 120k Silverado 5.3 with 799 heads. Last week it was in the truck...

I believe a few of us have driven it already! Edit: Oh! This isn’t the one Deo had. Nevermind!

I think I know that truck. Pretty sure it was at relic run around 2017.

I’m last min free this weekend! Anyone coming from Alabama? I’ve love to convoy up. My “1973” Pig

be careful with that because you can have dragging and not feel it until after +hour drive the brakes will eventually slowly lock up.

Train of thought list of some of the prizes we've been supplied with for 2024: Aussie Locker, FJ55 license plate lights, RTIC coolers, Solo Stove Mesa XL's, OEM 40 rims and hub caps, magazine subscription, the ever popular Metaltech bug out bag...

RAFFLE & SPONSOR Update! We're proud to announce the following sponsors for 2024 in no particular order: STLCA - Southern Toyota Land Cruiser Association (hosts of GSMTR) CCLC - Capital Land Cruiser Club Concentus - Outdoor-oriented IT company...

Thanks Dave... as with a lot of these, there are several mods that are less than ideal. Open Country did a great job of getting most of the bugs worked out and running reliably. I hope to swap to a stock carb or maybe even a sniper or something...

Started packing up raffle prizes today! 😁 If anyone really wants to buy a set of these wheels (or any other large parts) and doesn’t want to take their chance in the raffle, let me know asap and I can bring more. Save on shipping ! :)

In stock configuration that manifold port had a three-pronged vacuum doodad Mr. T called a gas filter. Definitely keep that port plugged. Otherwise its a huge vacuum leak.

Quick note that these frequencies all matched the pre-set GMRS memory channels in my Baofeng UV-5G out of the box.

Got back towards savannah and heard quite the bearing whinning noise from the transmission/transfer case, limped it back and pulled it apart the next weekend to figure out what was up, pulling the transmission in the barracks parking lot was not...

The last of the unchanged fluids was the transfer case. The transmission has a nifty little dip stick but not for the transfer case. Way overdue.

Spare tire time. Luke got the swing out mounted. It must have come off a different year Patrol as one bracket didn’t line up. Luke fabbed up another. we decided to use a different rim off my 40, which doesn’t match but gets the job done.

Kinda heavy to drag up but I have a 40/45/55 full-float rear available. Was going to list for $500 but would take $400. Needs brakes. It’s from a 78 so should be fine-spline 4.11 third. Little crusty but should clean up with sandblast.

We've nudged past 140 Drivers and over 95 Passengers & kids so far and are expecting more registrations on site! This will be the largest Carolina Relic Run so far! Thanks to all who registered early. Looking forward to seeing everybody next...

I believe @Malleus had a similar issue with his LX570. Dealership replaced his harness under warranty or at least partially under warranty.

I think you'll have to cut both sides, effectively turning the pins into three separate pieces in order to drop the spring out from the frame side mounts. A sawzall works fine for this as well. I don't believe a die grinder is going to be as...

Club meeting tonight

I'd like to mention something here, while you have the paint gun out and might help others make a decision. I know stock paint jobs do not have the door jams painted body color (where the green comes across the doors), but you sure can see the...

Finally have something to show! The Fly By Night “Power Tray” prototype is together and wired. This has been quite the road getting this thing lined out. I’m fairly happy with how it turned out, and am thinking about just running it after it’s...

No, but I do follow him on IG. He appears to have a super nice and capable rig, and he puts it to good use.

Stop calling it an FJ

You won't like what I'm going to say but the best method to machine these things flat is to loosen the assembly, put new gaskets in, leave the 3 mounting bolts very loose, then clean the mounting surfaces to head and bolt down tight without...

I never would’ve thunk (😏) it would be that, even after the OP solved his the same way… Love simple tricks like this. Kudos brother. Ian
