    Chainsaw chain application question

    I have a Stihl MS290 farm boss on hand with 16, 18 and 20" bars and chains at the ready. I use this primarily for felling and bucking of cord wood. I live in a 1795 Virginia farmhouse and am planning to reconstruct an authentic summer kitchen in the original location. Though I plan on staying...

    Outdoor stone kitchen resources?

    Hey all. Thanks to our current economic situation, I am moving the fam into my FIL's 1795 farmhouse early next year. To make the most of it we have discussed building an outdoor cooking area. Not the kind that is in right now with gas fireplace and grills, but an authentic hearth cooking...

    R/C Boats anyone?

    We moved into a new place this winter on a branch of the Lafayette river here in Norfolk. I'm on an inlet that sees four feet or so when the tide is in, mud when it's out. I am looking to get an R/C boat to play around with when the tide is in. I would go for the gold, but my boy is only four...

    Fuel Vapor Issue, seemed really strange

    Ran some errands in the truck today, parked it on the street around 1pm. Total run time was around 30 minutes. The street has a slight slope, so the filler door was on the down side. Temps today were in the low seventies. Took the kids to the circus, got home around 6:30 when the wife...

    Where to get gear?

    I am looking to get some gear for car/ site camping for a trip to Maine this summer. I have checked some places, but have found the options to be limited. I am looking for a screen house, possibly with a second room that offers some rain protection as well, a two or three burner stove, and...

    Exhaust questions

    I have started getting our 87 FJ60 back into good order, and have a few questions about the exhaust system. We are running a Man a Fre high performance 2F with the stock exhaust. The exhaust odor is very strong, both inside and outside the vehicle when running. I am pretty sure most of the...

    Here she is, let the fun begin

    Hey all. Let me introduce you to the Olifant, 1987 FJ 60. My wife got her in 1995 as a replacement for a totaled 4runner. She added an OME heavy duty suspension, Man-a-Fre high performance replacement 2F. She installed the lift herself, and would have done the engine swap if the shops ins. would...

    What is this, and what's missing?

    I am going over the rig, which has sat for almost three years with little use. She seems to be idling at higher rpm's than normal, and I noticed a hissing sound while airing up the front right tire. Popped the hood and traced the hiss to the item circled in the photo. Forgive me for my naivety...

    Tie Rod ends

    What is involved in a tie rod end replacement? Is it pretty much a swap out, or will there need to be adjustments made on the parts are installed? I have never done these before, and at 21 years old I think it's time for some new ones. Also, which suppliers products have you been happiest...

    Maaco anyone?

    A new paint job is in order for the 60 this year, and I am trying to decide where to have it done. The husband of a coworker of my wife owns a Maaco franchise. Has anyone had experience with them? I understand that they are franchised and results may vary. I am looking for a clean, high...

    Paint Rejuvenation

    So I have finally found some time to work on the Olifant. I will be painting her at some point this year, but for the time being I want to clean and buff/ protect the existing paint. There is some oxidation, etc. What would be the best route to go? I have a 6" orbital to work with. Should I...

    Dog owners.... Agility coursing??

    Hey all. The wifey and I have decided it is time to get a pup. We're getting a Rhodesian Ridgeback female. Aside form multiple outings daily ( walks, park, etc.), I was thinking I would get involved in agility courseing. I don't know if I would want to go competitive or keep it for fun only...

    Cover for a 60?

    The paint on our 60 is failing, and it will be a while before I can paint. I plan on pulling panels off from time to time over the winter to repair and prime them. Can anyone recommend a truly waterproof cover for the 60 to protect until I can repaint? Unfortunately outdoor storage is our...

    OEM Paint

    Did the trucks come with clear coats? What have you guys done as far as OEM paint colors? I will be getting our 87 FJ 60 done this summer, probably at a Maaco that is owned by a family friend. We want to keep the original silver, but are not sure what top coats to use for appearance (depth)...

    Hey all, back on the trail again

    Hey all. Greetings from Norfolk. After too many years away from cruisin, we are back. I sold the 73 pig that had taken up space in the drive for nearly ten years. The new owner is making one rig out of two, and should have it on the road in 6 to 9 months, restored to near original. As for us...
