Would you trade for an AMAC 5100 .50 bmg? It has a custom shilen barrel and a armalite muzzle brake and shoots like a dream...

The AC just puts a bit more load on the motor. If you are running close to stall at idle and you turn on the AC, your motor will die. Since it's not very reasonable to change the idle to accomodate the AC operation for the entire year, they put that little knob there to boost the idle enough...
Sweet! I KNEW you guys would have some better ideas than I was coming up with. I like the idea of keeping it as stock as possible, but sometimes you gotta do what ya gotta do to make it work reliably...
I want my stock tack to work. Even if it reads off because of the 6cylinder vs. 8 cylinder ratio, I dont care, I can do the math. It just really really bugs me to see that stupid needle planted on ZERO.
I run the stock alternator in the stock GM bracket.
What do I need to hook up, and...
Thanks for the replies, but I've since read that Sketchup post and have been dinking around with that for a while.
So far ( I wish I could figure out how to post the drawing) I have added about 18" to the top of the 40. I kept the stock sides, but added the higher top and extended it over the...
I want to replace the top of my fj40 with a high top that extends half way over the hood. There is a fifthwheel horse trailer in a local junkyard that has some clean sheetmetal. I was thinking of cutting the front radiused bullnose off, narrowing it, and fitting it to my 40. Has anyone done...

All items are from a stock, good running 1985 FJ60. My oil plug on the head popped out and starved my I6 of oil.
The smog pump is gutted and now had two large diameter bearings that just spin on a solid machined shaft. It's basically...
Mine gets about 13 with the Holley pro-jection. Carbed, I only got about 10 or 11.
I understand that I can get more if I have the O2 sensor, but i just have the open loop injection right now.
I used to have a suburban with a two barrel road demon. That thing had tons of power and got about...
I've been reading some articles about carb port and polishing. I had a 327 with a 2bbl Road Demon carb that I polished a long time ago and got incredible results. Now that my FJ60 needs a carb rebuild, and now that gas is so expensive, I figured I would polish the lead-in bell and match the...
Wow. I remember when I didn't have kids!
Now I camp with a 5 and 7 year old... and a way crappier budget...
This is my Dodge motorhome. 650 bucks.
This is my camping table.
This is my lantern support system, fully adjustable for height. It is pictured next to my blue...
I tow my 40 with my 60 a few times a year with no problems. I also tow a small utility trailer with an average total load/trailer weight of 1500 pounds with no problems whatsoever.
Towing the 40 was a bit much, but once I got the rear disc setup I dont have any worries at all. I think the...
I have a mild cam in a rebuilt 350 with the holley 2d projection. The trans is the stock 4speed stick adapted with the Mark's adapter and I get about 11 around town. The exhaust is still a bit rich, so I think I may get more if I ever got the O2 sensor kit for the pro-jection.
The locker chirps the tires on the street, but so what? If it's not your daily driver then the tire chirping is cool. If you want to keep the chirping to a minimum, just learn to coast into the corner.
Sounds like a very strong setup, the only downside I've ever heard about the 14 is that it...
I threw in new springs and weights around Christmas, then it got cold. It ran better with stock weights and lighter springs, but I haven't changed it back yet. I dont do anything when it's cold, screw it. It will be there in May. I'm married, who the hell am I trying to impress anyway? I...
I dont think a v8 gets as bad as you think. I have the nv4500 with a 383 stroker and I still get about 12.
I think you could get a GM crate base model for about 1500 and get about 300 horses out of it. Then buy a 10 year old Camry for your commuter car.
