    Squeaking noise driving me nuts...!

    Same noise I get! Just noticed it tonight. My speedo does bounce so I hope that is it. I replaced my dash lights a while back and my big hands made getting the spedo back in tough. I'll let you know if that fixes it for me. Do you guys know if replacing the hood stoppers helps with the...

    Any Idea what this is going to cost?

    I didn't have too much for the job (2000 was my budget) and the job was done very well. I asked that the windows and handles not be pulled to save some of the labor costs. Fernando did pull the grille, lights, logos and mud guards. Overall I am extremely happy it turned out so well. I got...

    Any Idea what this is going to cost?

    I went to Fernandos on Pacific and Van Ness. I got a great deal and he's an honest guy. He was restoring a 51 Bentley in there, My dad owns one as well, so I knew he had done a great job on it. I'd give him a call if you are looking for some help. He'll give you an honest assesment.

    Defiantly will let you know what I hear back. He is usually very responsive. Overloaded me on some of the options at first, but ended up recommending the exact setup you ran with for me. Did you have issues fitting the boch lights into the headlight doors?

    Any Idea what this is going to cost?

    Huh....I will re-engage with Daniel, it's been a couple of months. I want to upgrade my lights badly. Last year I was in trouble on I80 up to Tahoe with the low beams. The stock wiring system just sucks after 18 years. If I do get this harness from Daniel you may have a ton of Questions from...

    Any Idea what this is going to cost?

    I started with a pre fab fog light kit from Hella that I got through SOR. I damn near killed myself. Decided to go through Daniel and he leped me work out the the setup that I want. Installing it is my worry. I want it done right and I don't know enough to feel confident running up to Tahoe...

    Any Idea what this is going to cost?

    Many times. I don't really know how I'd do it because I don't want to buy another. I have been trying to figure out this lighting thing first, and black the sucker out when I get the lights done. I thought I could re-do the harness myself, but I really almost fried the electrical system (and...

    Any Idea what this is going to cost?

    Late I know, but it turned out very well. Now all I need is a good electrician in San Francisco to help me install some Daniel Stern lights. I tried to install my own harness a couple months ago and nearly electrocuted myself. :o Anyone here from San Francisco that could recommend a good...

    Stuck in 2WD - 4x4 issues

    --They got all 4 wheels turning so I guess it was just the ruts in the road making it pull right. Mechanically it works fine. As to the switches - most likely the switch on the dash is fine, there is no switch on the tranny but there is one on the tcase that automatically engages 4wd if you...

    Stuck in 2WD - 4x4 issues

    Ok so it's a vacuum issue with the switches. They couldn't get the thing to engage with the switch, only got it to work manually. I guess it was only engaging the passenger side front tire. So now my question is how to fix it. Toyota is saying they want to replace the switches, all three of...

    Stuck in 2WD - 4x4 issues

    All sound advice. I had great guys in Seattle that knew the rig. I am new down here and never even thought about the guys not knowing anything...The thing is the dealership owner has a sweet FJ60 on his floor and he does all the work there at the service department. I read up about going...

    Stuck in 2WD - 4x4 issues

    Guys, My 4 wheel drive had been acting funny and it didn't like coming out, but it was working. I took a trip to Tahoe and on the way back wanted it in 4 wheel so I locked the hubs and put it in 4x4 at chain control before Donner Pass. It started pulling to the right (may have been the groves...

    No, 22 isn't the ceiling. I use it to keep track of friends and reconnect with people from the past. You won't get e-mail if you just turn it off. It is my glorified address book and I love it for the ease of catching up on what my friends have been up to. Either way it is definitely worth...
