I also believed that the guards were not worth it. Since 1973 I have I have had four 40's and only have to replace two turn signal mounts. We hunt in less than prime country so it is not that we are babying our rigs.
I often wonder why people have to be nasty to other off road users, especially...
Saw old post for front signal guards, and would like to get a pair of these original heavy duty guards. Anyone got a lead on the source? Thanks for the help. -RiverWalker
Since there is now weight restrictions on trailers, Wendy and I have decided to go to Ouray. Maybe in the future we will be allowed to travel again with the club on these expeditions.

A couple of pictures to show you the fun we had
We had to leave early because of a trailer hitch that was not up to par. We want to go back and do it again. Next time I want to do some fishing and exploring.
Thanks guys we both enjoyed ourselves and really liked the camaraderie.

The Expedition
I will not be around much before we leave. I have to go to the states on Wednesday and then to the island on Friday. Glenn if you want to give me a call on Saturday, my # is 652-3457. I plan to leave for 150 mile on Monday or Tuesday. Our trailer is there and I have to do a few...
I disagree. What I need it to convince my wife that she should row and let me fish in peace and quiet.
How many people plan to go along the trail? Has anyone gone along the old trails? I know there are two fish camps there and they don't like nonpaying guests. I would like to find out more on...
We plan to go.
We will be taking our FJ and trailer plus our pontoon boat. The Blackwater River apparently has fantastic fishing opportunities. Maybe if others want to be do some serious fishing we can spend a day or two along the way studying the fine art of losing flies and lying.

I have had a SPEC clutch installed. I have driven over the required 500 city miles to break it in. When engaged the clutch makes a grinding noise and will chatter. The same thing happens in reverse and the whole truck will shudder. When I shift into second gear, the clutch seems to bounce once...
Both A & B can be zeroed on my FJ. They are both calibrated the same. How do you change from MPH to KPH? That would be nice to know.
Thanks

I bought mine right from Unichip pre-flashed for the TRD exhaust and supercharger. When I talked to their tech, he advised that I did not need to have it tuned. Will just have to have it re-flashed if I add a cold intake. You can send it back to Unichip and they will reflash it for you. Cost...
I don't know if I get a full 40 hp more. I do know that I do not have to change gears so often when driving in the mountains, especially when I am pulling my trailer. The ride is smoother and I get an average of 1.4 mph more. (I have kept an accurate record of my fuel economy since the truck was...
That does it then! Next time down south of the border I will stop at Sears and get two new batteries. I think the cables are long enough in the FJ to allow a little bit of slack.
The Panasonic battery is on life support right now. I have to have a trickle charger on it when the truck is parked...
Odyssey Battery
That is good to know. I live in Canada and have found that the batteries don't last very long. Since my wife and I go fishing and hunting by ourselves, we make sure that everything that can go wrong is the best we can afford. At least then I have someone else to blame when I...
Time to replace the stock battery. :bang: Both it and the Optima Yellow top are dying rapidly in the colder air. I plan to replace them with Odyssey batteries. My problem is that the 1700MJT is longer and narrower than the stock battery. Any suggestions if it will fit, and if I need to build/buy...
I run the Air Lift bags in my FJ. When I go wheelin' I pump them up to keep my headlights aligned. The rest of the time I run 5 lbs in them and have no problem at all.
More Details Please
You have made a statement about All Pro that we all should be told about. Who did they screw over and what were the circumstances? This sort of comment should be fully explained so we all know what to expect from All Pro.
I came back from Hemet a couple of weeks ago...
