That is good to know, I will have to add this to my to do list.
Looking at my valve cover someone took an old one and added the filler cap to the back of it. Why they put the cap on the back and not the front beats me.
the 1F engines fill their oil from the side of the block that goes directly into the oil pan. They do not have a cap on the valve cover you take off to add oil through the top. There might be a transition year kind of thing where Toyota made a 1F valve cover with a cap on it but I am not aware...
My fuel tank started rusting out and clogging up my fuel filter and jets in the carburetor. My son helped me pull the tank, do some cleaning and install new fuel lines in preparation for the new tank.
Took some of my wife's clients to their photoshoot location. Its probably a half mile drive on a rough little trail to an open field.The clients enjoyed the ride in the jump seats.
My biggest question with the new land cruiser is how easy is it to service and do routine maintenance on and will it have the reliability and simplicity we have all known to love about our old rigs. I know you can not compare a FJ40 to any modern vehicle but I wrench on every car I own and don't...
For my mustang I run a 1966 vintage tag on the outside and just keep my registered tag and registration in the trunk of the car. A cop has never stopped me or asked to see my plates before. I believe as long as you keep your registered tag somewhere in the vehicle you will be fine.
I'm used to the Jeep comments at this point. The couple times that I've been thrown off and left scratching my head is when someone thinks its an old 4Runner. At least they got the Toyota part right.
I hope you got to explore Boone and the surrounding area a little bit before you got back on the road. There are some great hikes in that part of the world. Also the blue ridge parkway is a fun drive with some scenic overlooks.
I'm looking for a good muffler shop around the Gastonia or Belmont area to change out the muffler on my FJ40. I'd say my current muffler isn't doing much good.
