    Rubicon trail, cant we give it a break?

    i know this aint gonna make many friends around here but has it occurred to anyone else that the rubicon trail is being loved to death? i mean they closed spider lake because of human sh*t contamination and now they are liable to close the whole place. think about it: toilet paper all over the...

    window regulator news

    a few weeks ago, i mentioned that i was thinking about rebuilding my driver side door and that i definately needed a new window regulator because mine was all sloppy internally and the sloppiness was causing it to bind no matter how much lubrication was present. i figured i would be lucky to...

    85 FJ60 Parts: intake/exhaust manifolds and warn hubs

    hi folks: First off, I am in Sacramento CA if that makes a difference. I have a 85 FJ60 that I have converted to a Chevy V8 and in the process I retrieved the stock assembly that dominates the left side of the motor: the intake/exhaust manifolds, carbureator, assorted smog equipment (probably...

    when i was, ahem, involved in rebuilding my steering knuckles and seal (again many thanks guys! that was way beyond cool!), i noticed that one of the two little pins on the axle hub of the passenger side was sheared off. the other pin was fine and the studs for the free wheel hub are fine, just...

    need advice: rebuilding front door window

    i think ive mentioned before that i was bugged that my front door window was loose and when you tried to close it at speed it pinched the wind lacing felt stuff and made a whistling sound. also the window crank has been getting progressively tighter and tighter, and increasingly creaking when...

    front hubs...oem or warn?

    i recently somehow decided it was wise to "upgrade" my front oem hubs of unknown age (probably came on truck from factory so 200k+ miles) with warn hubs. then in the latest toyota trails mag i noticed a tech piece on warn hubs screwing up because they were aluminum bodied and a sliver of...
