Hey folks, been awhile since we've touched base... Thought I would invite everyone over to "Falcon Crest" for a few bevies and a fire... Maybe the prez can come and make some wings...I was thinking Aug 5 or 6th. Let me know if you are available. Lots of room to pitch a tent if you need to...
Looking for some advise from you injection gurus.
I recently installed a Howell injection kit on my 76 2f. I have a few issues and the tech dept hasn't returned my call.
The engine stalls when coasting to a red light, but stays running when I restart it. The engine also hesitates under...
Just bought a Taco, it needs tires badly, it currently has Toyo open countries on it. I think I'm leaning towards an all season for this truck...
Thoughts and opinions on AT's?
Ice performance, durability and price are the key factors for me.

It has ghey Rockstar wheels...anyone...
It pains me to say this but... 80's gotta go. I have some interest locally and lots down south, just thought i'd offer it up to the "family" first. You know what it is... Fresh paint...20 000 samolians is the asking price.
here's some porn...
Destroyed my phone...be a week or so till I have time to get a new one...Lost all my contacts (unless I can figure out how to make that dang "cloud" give them back!)
Ok, I think I've found the best radio for our application...

They are GFRS, (commercial) and require a licence for use in the States, OK in Canada. I'm not sure how they can enforce this, just plead ignorance if you get caught in...
Well, I just bit the bullet and bought another project... The holy grail as far as I'm concerned...1978 FJ45! It's all there except the roof panel...and the pieces of sheet metal where the bondo now resides....
Gonna take my time on this one!
OK folks, a ton of napkins later... this is what I came up with...not very exciting...Post up any ideas you have for a logo. The more unicorns and rainbows the merrier!!

I'm setting up new ring and pinions for the 40, and I can't seem to find a spec for preload on the carrier bearings...I've heard a few different methods....not sure which is right.
One guy told me 150ftllbs on the adjuster wheels...seems quite excessive.
Another method was to measure pinion...
The rear end on my 80 piled up a few weeks ago... thought you guys might like to see the carnage.
I lost the rear locker on the "Gatekeeper" on the Rubicon trail last September. We heard a loud "KAAAPPLLLINGGG" from the rear end, the locker light went out, but then it came back on...no harm...
Before you guys bite my head off, I searched, and read almost all of the posts pertaining to the anti-wrap bar on the 40. The problem is there are alot of different designs out there. I want to build it properly the first time. I made a drawing and I need to know if this is the CORRECT method of...
Hey guys, I'm a total rock crawling newb and have been coersed into doing the Rubicon trail (MCR11) in a few weeks. Just wondering if anyone has some tips or pointers on getting the old girl through somewhat unscathed. ( It has to get me home to Northern Canada) I think the truck is set-up...
Does anyone know where to get rear double cardan driveshaft yokes? I recently installed the 6" slee kit and the vibes were so bad it destroyed the pinion seal in under 20 miles! T-case and pinion angles are parrallel. My local driveline shop can't source the proper yokes so i'm running a DC...
Hey guys, I'm usually hanging out in the 80 section, recently bit the bullet and bought a '76 FJ40. The rear wheel is not centered in the wheel opening, could the rear leaf be in backwards? Is it the anti-inversion shackles. It also appears that my rear driveshaft is totally compressed at the...
The newest addition: 1976 FJ40, Aqualu tub, OME 2", Gozzard fiberglass fenders, Anti inversion shackles, Everything else is bone stock. The old 2F is amazinly smooth and quiet !! Going back to the original Dune Beige...:steer::steer:
