[Cruiser4Lyfe]

Drove both Black Bear and Imogene Pass last Saturday. My wife and I were the first ones down Black Bear since we hit the trail at 7:50 am. Was very cool being the only people up there!

Nope, petrol...1FZFE

But your right hand drive, with non sliding third row windows? Is a Japanese import?

There are tons of RHD 1FZ 80s out there.

Love those lights, which ones are you running in the side markers/turn signals locations. Baja designs s2, did you have to make a bracket?

I know, that's why I asked if it was a Japanese import

 

[fjbj40]

There are, last count, 27 countries that are RHD, so it’s not only Japan a RHD can be from.

2 coolant flushes this week, then yesterday new radiator & cap, tstat, fixed PS trans cooler line, and added foam to the rad assembly (PO had a cheapo rad & no foam). All temps went down about 9° (hwy speed, idle, heat creep after shutoff). Consistent 185 while driving, previously 194.

Thanks! They are S2 Sports - I made a bracket that utilized the turn signal mounting holes and made some filler pieces with some scraps I had laying around.

Hello from the 200 section. Where you in Moab? If so I’m 94% sure I saw this truck!

Hello! Sadly, I was not in Moab that weekend.

Just did All new radiator hoses, Phh workaround(so easy) Also new heater control valve, rear heater delete, and all associated hoses on firewall. Finished up with good flush and test drove didn’t go above 188 on 90 degree day stopped with ac blasting. Heater control valve was brown and brittle, and hose barbs we broke off.

Hit Slick Rock this weekend with @jcardona1. Jose isn’t easy to keep up with, but his good spotting made it easier. Thanks Jose!! The Gummy Worm pale ale was good too at the end of the day!

Scraped the remnants of the original headliner insulation out. Luckily it was only well glued in about 50% of the area it covered. Also removed a ton of superfine Moab dust from all the nooks and crannies.

Rainy Day in North East. Used the day to pull the back seats and check sticky Fuel Gauge. 1.) Removed Back Seats, 2.) Pulled carpet back, 3.) removed tank screws, 4.) Lifted out fuel float and "moved around" a bit to try and unstick from Full Position. 5.) Could not just replace rusted Wire Harness Holder, so dipped bracket in Eastwood Rust Encapulator after Wire Brushing and sanding bracket and tank cover (careful not to produce sparks on tank cover and removed battery connections). 6.) Let dry and replaced everything. So far, Fuel Gauge now reads properly, but I will leave seats off for a bit to make sure not running into same issue.

I had just replaced the whole tank with OEM new last summer. Getting the alignment of the float in tank a little tricky. But super happy with tank replacement. Needed a partial body lift off frame if you want to replace one of the brackets. Full post on this with photos. Replaced frame mount bolts, nuts and washers while I was in there with OEM. But no joy for the rubber mounts. They are Unobtainium.

Used a Resolve carpet and upholstery cleaner in a spray bottle and hand scrubbed it. Turned out great.

Jen, what did you use on the headliner? Mine is intact but really needs a good scrub. Need something that will deep clean without staining, and yours looks great!
