Hey Jan - The rack is made by FrontRunner. It's their option for an xxJ76 or 78 I believe? It is not designed for the FRP top and I am not mounting it as intended. I've thought about it but don't think I would feel confident using it as a tent platform for 2 people, though 1 person might be ok...

Sub freezing temps out? Lets go find some snow! The ORV park has a nasty entrance/exit - but got myself through cleanly enough. The rest of the day was absolutely beautiful. *disregard the riff-raff jeep crew I was out with.. they didn't know any better. (all joking aside everyones rig did...

Interesting. I'll do some poking around and tighten up anything I can in the fuel system. That would be a relief if it was just a bit of air sneaking in..

It sounds like we have a similar issue.. The clatter/noise does seem to lessen when fully warm. Very similar symptoms. I don't have a clear answer yet. My troubleshooting knowledge is limited here.. I don't have a stethoscope but tried the ol "put your ear to the end of a screwdriver" but...

I've got a 92 HZJ73 with the 1HZ ---- I've noticed some rattle / buzzing noise when I reach around 1.9-2k rpms and higher. Best I can tell it seems to be coming from near the engine. It happens whether I'm driving or sitting in neutral and rev the engine. Its much easier to hear in the low...

New Tires & Wheels and some longer legs! Its been a process but finally wrapping it up. Quite the transformation & very happy with the results. After some headaches with OME suspension on my old HJ61 I decided to use Dobinsons 2" lift on the 73. 100% satisfied with Dobinsons set-up. Very smooth...

I did! Yeah, I didn't know the IMS front shocks we're back-ordered until my kit arrived with those crossed out on the BoL. A bit frustrating but I think I can limp along with my stock front shocks. *I spoke with Dobsinsons this morning and they said they're sorting a new stock order that...

Thanks for the quick reply Kurt. I will definitely keep you guys in mind on anything I need (just ordered some stuff from your website a few days ago). You've always been very helpful and loaded with knowledge. Appreciate everything you do for the cruiser community! Cheers

I just got a Dobinsons 2" lift Leaf kit and I am not understanding the difference on the anti-inversion shackles. I reached out to Dobinson's and their answer still left me scratching my head. They supply 2 pairs of shackles - each pair with a different product code (047 & 048). I reached out...

Thanks! They're not a perfect fit, but I had a hard time finding many 16" wheels with the correct backspace - especially in a style I liked. These are 16x8 w/ 4.5 backspace. I have 1-1/4" spacers on (was hoping to avoid them but made a compromise). I will likely drop down to 1" spacers in the...

Well I was sold when I got eyes on these things. Surprised I was able to fit them with my saggy stock suspension. Very nice ride, hardly any more noise than my old A/T's. It's definitely a snug fit but should be nice and roomy when my suspension arrives. New wheels were rattle canned with...

This is the new R/T Trail version Toyo released about a year ago. I'm about to go take a look at a set of these in 285/75r16 for my 73. *Curious if anyone has any experience running these? **Also open to feedback on running 285/75's on a HZJ73. I'm hoping I wont be losing too much power/guts...

No relation 🤙

Ok cool, thanks for the clarification!

Your guess is as good as mine. I would assume it's a few inches wider to line up with the fender flares. Unfortunately I cannot seem to find anything online, so far, showing the 2 and their differences 🤷‍♂️
