Hey!...A Knoxville club. Bumped into @travisimo at Barley's in his sweet 80, and he mentioned you guys to @nabbasi and I.

Thank you so much 👍

I looked at ordering the upper shock pin then just welding it on to the lower tab, but at $55 and SOR's "estimated" ship cost, if rather just order from Cruiser Matt, like you said.

Resurrection time (again): Same thing happened to me this weekend on my FJ45. Passenger side was a piece of cake, but snapped the driver side threads off with the castle nut. In the prior post, Northbound seemed to have tapped through the whole shock pin. Would this be more advisable than...

Quick weekend project: Out with old, and in with the New 2in Hitch Receiver from 4Plus Products @lcwizard. Great quality build!

It's been a while, but I've been busy tackling quite a bit of deferred maintenance left behind by the previous owner. Here is an update since installing the Clutch MC and fuel pump. Carburetor: I sent the carburetor out to @65swb45 for a rebuild — Mark did a great job! At some point, likely...

What is the detriment of using an air compressor? I made this possible mistake today. In fear of knocking the drain line loose? I have water showing up on the passenger floor board and started with the sunroof drains before moving on to see if the foam was compressed around the cowl.

Went to the auto parts store this morning to try to order that Dorman 490-710. They are special order, so I'll see whether or not they can get them in tomorrow when the store can call Dorman. I'm using the Tool Guy Republic flaring tool. All connections are solid except for this one, so I'm...

I'm battling the same 3 way connection on the front. I assume the nut going into the 3 way for the line headed to the driver's side was not sealing. @Green Bean Did that Dorman part # work? And where did you find them, they look to be discontinued. Making my own lines with nickel copper...

I'm looking at the Hamilton for my '17 LC, so far in reading this thread I'm very likely going to considering purchasing it. Question I have: How does it interface with the the "climate" button on the control unit under the screen when you are in Carplay mode? Will it knock you out of Carplay...

The Fronts are 1229LB per leaf with a 228 spring rate and the Rears are 1310LB per leaf with a 300 spring rate. here are some pictures of the single set of shackles.

Great detective work, it was indeed. Take you time enjoy the holidays.

Well, look what I found. I just recently purchased this exact fj45. Was going through the forums, and stumbled across this posting of my now truck. I think that I purchased it from the guys that purchased it in 2019 out from under BlackAura. I can tell you he didn't drive it much or take...

I have some brand new Alcan Custom Leaf Springs with a 4in lift for an FJ45, front and rear. These were never install and have been sitting in the garage for years (a project that never got off the ground). Still have shipping tags. I'm located in Knoxville, TN. you can pick up or pay for...

I actually found this while doing some more research https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/side-mirror-stop-tilting-down-in-r-gear.530449/ 1). To set these positions shift to Reverse (obviously with the brake applied) and then adjust the left and or right mirror to wherever you want them when in...
