    Techie ideas for FJ

    A good modern diesel. Modern diesels are all my family drives in the UK, they have so much better mileage and superb torque. Or maybe something innovative like Ford's ecoboost engine... if it hangs together in real life. In other countries the Hilux gets the 3.0l D-4D which is good for about...

    Diesel in an FJ Cruiser?

    I see the FJC is still on the Toyota web site, four years after the predicted end and still going.

    CB Radio/Atenna setup's - Post yours, looking for ideas to follow

    Yes, range and capacity are issues, especially capacity. If only I could get a Defender 110, but the few here were going for $65k in 1998 and have gone up since. Sorry, but the big Defender gives the capacity without acres of plastic, leather seats, carpet and automatic transmission... which I...

    I was, initially, enthusiastic about SPOT but then a few of the details didn't work for me. Either I didn't read the pricing right, or they changed the pricing in the last six months. To get tracking I have to pay $100/year for the basic service plus another $50/year for the tracking upgrade...

    Yes, that is an unreasonable list, in some ways. But it reflects the range of luxury and hardship I am willing to pay for/accept as well as the range of capability I think I might need. There are even other brands. I got stuck at a land slide in Nevada last year and I was thinking right then...

    Sorry, I'm still at the 40/60/80/100 decision stage, so I am accumulating specific info. However I am an extra class HAM, so I've done some radio work. Is there cooling in that center console? My Kenwood D700 and Icom 7000 both burn a lot of Watts and get warm. Modern radios do not need...

    The 80 Just About Killed My Family

    I was just checking EBC parts and the 91 through 97 are all the same but the 98 up are different. I'd change the brake fluid immediately, but also check the disk and pad thickness, both inner and outer pads since they sometimes wear unevenly. Thin pads and disks heat up very fast. Drilled or...

    If you had the choice Gas or Desiel?

    Having driven modern diesel engined vehicles I'd choose one over a gas engine any day. My family, in the UK, started switching to diesel around 10 years ago and now they are all diesel, the main reasons are economy and driveability. They say people buy power and drive torque, that's the...
