Had to change the fuel filter again. Got a visit from the Utah Highway Patrol when we stopped. Made it to Moab

IMO if the anything was in backwards, you would know it right away as the hub would not seat down to its proper place If you want to save that inner seal, remove both locking nuts and the washer, pull the outer bearing put the washer and the nut...

I recently got a carburetor in for rebuilding with a note from the customer saying that it had a flat spot after the last shop worked on it. Now those of us who've fussed with carbs for any amount of time know that there are many, many reasons...

I have two FJ45 trucks - 1977 and 1978. This ad is for the 1978 - see other ad for info about the 1977. Runs and drive well - can be used as is or restored. Original Canadian trucks with low usage. Original 6 cylinder in-line gas engine and...

Harbor Freight version here. Seems to work fine but ears as mentioned above.

Hopefully it disperses the pressure across more are, more importantly more pressure on the actual fiberglass portion of the lip.

@subzali, it's been quite a winter as you know. Brahma is looking good!

Yesterday I reassembled the front clip for the rest of the fitment process. And because I think it looks cool.

I scoured the interwebs for several weeks to find a stock hood bird (rocket) for the truck. Some folks say there were only 2k of these ever made during my production years. Given the truck is 63 years old, the attrition rate would be pretty high...

I put some better tires and rims on it and added a bling as well. I also repaired the transmission cover. A P.O. had notched it for a different shifter at some point. Not my best patch job but it will keep the squirrels and road heat out.

Here are a couple of pictures from a few years ago. The turquoise truck is a 55’ NAPCO build for a friend. The blue 56’ is my old street rod I built in 94’.

That happened to me too on goose creek road a couple of weeks ago. Locking hubs did not get me out though. Thankfully I was with a buddy and a quick strap did the job.

Screwing around on our main road this morning and caught the snow bank with my ds wheel. Pulled me right off the road into waist deep snow before I could even react. Just had to dig deep enough to lock both hubs, which was ROUGH in flip flops...

found a 1961 in pa and this seems to be the section to get started in. i suppose you guys like pictures as much as the guys in the regular 40 section.

I grabbed a pic of the steering stabilizer. I want to go back and remove the spacer from the end at the crossmember, that will make things lie a little straighter:

I don’t know. I wasn’t thinking about passenger cars. Have you tried fitting heavy duty chains to the front of a 4Runner or 200 series? I was just looking at a 4Runner the other day and I wouldn’t try running chains on the front due to clearance...

Heavy mud type chains when you are in absolute s***. Drive slowly, check and tighten often. Spinning will get you nowhere, so throttle accordingly. I carry 4 heavy chains, and sometimes you use all 4 and other times one will do. This takes...

Chains on the front of an ifs vehicle will usually have problems interfering with a-arms/ball joint area.

We were not disappointed when it came to the concentration of history down here. I won't publish too much about this because of random Google searchers, but it was well worth the tough day of hiking.

Three coats of paint are down. Turned out as well as I had hoped. The liner is all gone and I can actually see the floors and access bolts without everything being caked. #ih8bedliner.

Can I play? Usually I am too busy cooking to take pictures

Organizing/initially planning a trip for me and the family for the end of March in the 100 series cruiser. See route below. Struggling to lock in a campsite along the blue route, which runs predominantly through Dark Canyon Wilderness and some of...

Winch line is static load line. Snatch straps are for dynamic loading so that the shock load is absorbed and transmitted into moving the object. Electrical wires aren't attached to a few tons to be flung along. Winching needs to stop when...

i got the brush set. installed them. fůckery. as per everything else chyna. required mods to fit. after hammers and cussing, it fits meow. this thing is in really good shape. clean oil in it still. replaced a few bolts. played with it on the...

may as well share. scored this guy for $150. simply too cheap. i believe these are the original m12. unfortunately its not really clear when warn first started building planetary winches. based on info i can find, im thinking it was 85🤣 finding...
