    SOLD Cascade, MT: 1981/Turtle Mountain/M101A3 Cargo Trailer

    SOLD - The fellow I bought it from reached out and said he'd been kicking himself for the last year over having sold it, so it's going back to him. He wasn't planning to sell it in the first place, but seeing as how I needed one very badly to get my property setup, we struck a deal, and thanks...

    SOLD  Cascade, MT: 1981/Turtle Mountain/M101A3 Cargo Trailer

    I'm selling my matte camo painted 3/4 ton M101A3 cargo trailer. It's adapted to 12v, and uses a standard pintle hitch. Hitch is included, as is the farm jack, and yellow hitch lock in the pics. Obviously the trailer is included too (this isn't one of those ebay selling-the-empty-playstation-box...

    SOLVED (I are dum): Dip stick low but oil almost up to the fill cap?

    That's an excellent tip, thank you! Just the two of the front ones sheared on me, so I left the rest alone - have to reverse drill one of them out, but the other came free. I ordered the proper ones from Wit's End, so I'll (seriously, not putting it off this time) swap them in once they...

    I haven't - I figured I'd seal this up, clean the engine, and spot anything else leaking, then as I mentioned, I delayed fixing the VC gasket for a bit longer than I expected. I'll prioritize them as soon as this is buttoned up and I hose off all the muck. It's a very good call out.

    I'll check with them about gaskets and such, maybe they can beat ebay's speed! I'm near Cascade, MT. A good ways out from there, but it's the closest named township.

    SOLVED (I are dum): Dip stick low but oil almost up to the fill cap?

    Yep, gave them an extremely gentle touch with the stubby ratchet, maybe 8 ftlbs, and snap. Now I know! New gasket and seals incoming, and some Toyota FIPG for the half moons. I'll add some oil and snag some M6-1.0x22 or 25 mm smooth bottom flange bolts in town tomorrow, or flanges and washers...

    It was just the shelf, I'm an idiot. Big bumper and leaning over, couldn't see the opening and forgot it wasn't straight through.

    I'm at best parts-changer level as a mechanic, maybe a blonde one past that, but by no means do I have much to brag about. I'm working on it, but it's slow going, so please bear with me. I also live off in the mountains in Montana, miles down a trail that would qualify as semi-challenging...

    Tire valve cap solution - Never lose one again

    Another yea vote here - I've had the metal ones on my 80 for the last several years and they've been great. No TPMS to contend with, so no worries there, and I'd be shocked if I could ever exceed the 80 mph limit in my rig - definitely no time travel for me.

    Not-quite-RTH: Good downstream O2 sensor readings? '96 FZJ80

    Shameless self-bump as I'm running out of time and getting more desperate. Anyone willing/able to advise? I sure could use the help.

    Not-quite-RTH: Good downstream O2 sensor readings? '96 FZJ80

    At this point an O2 sim is looking really appealing, but even with that I'd need to know what a good downstream waveform should look like. Arrgh I'm hoping someone happens to have (or can snag from their working FZJ) the info
