    Death Valley in January

    Saline Randy - Sounds good, and thanks for organizing this mess. Both Joe and I recently sold our FJ40's, so we'll be car-pooling in my 100 series. I hope the diamond lane on Lippencott has not washed away. When you email the freqs., please include some call signs as well. Mine is KF7...

    Death Valley in January

    Randy; This link gives a good overview of the coverage. Of course, someone has to be listening on the other end. http://core.tdar.org/document/38029 I'll monitor all 3 freqs., Mazourka and simplex, on my way in and once in the valley. Joe and I will be coming in Friday late morning from...

    Death Valley in January

    Got an invite from a bearded stranger today, it sounds like a good trip. If I may be so bold as to suggest, I've used Mazourka Peak, 146.760-, PL of 100 around and in Saline. Works from the Nevada side, anyway. 146.52 and 446.00 work for simplex once you're in the valley. If Doug shows up...

    BioLite Stove

    Let me bash mine around for a couple of months, I'll report back. Like I said, initial results look pretty good. Have already determined that it is NOT a replacement for the dual fuel 2 burner Coleman, now lets see how it goes long term. Regards; 68LC

    BioLite Stove

    Have been sorting out my stove and kettle for a week or so now, and have the following observations: 1. Boils 2 liters of water in less than 8 minutes (after flame is fully engaged) 2. No need to carry fuel bottles 3. LED light or cell phone charged, neat feature. Glad I bought the thing...

    MPG, how to improve?

    More MPG? Are you kidding me? Interesting discussion, here's my $0.02 worth - I stopped checking the mileage on my 1999 after the first few tanks. 12 - 14 mpg. I just fill it up when the gauge hits ever-full. The fuel light comes on consistently at about 300-310 miles, and I plan my trips...

    pics of white 40's

    The stripe was dealer added, never saw another one like it. As for the bezel, I don't believe the BP even existed when I was driving that particular beast almost 30 years ago. That's the way I got it, that's the way I sold it.

    pics of white 40's

    THANKS!

    THANKS! Update Thought I would post an update - Since the purchase I've gone through the vehicle a bit, changed all the gear box fluids, flushed and filled the cooling system, lubed everything and added a set of 285X75R16 E load range BFG AT's. I've taken it off road in the local mountains...

    THANKS!

    I've spent the last 4-6 months researching this site for technical articles, pros and cons and just general information - I must say, thanks for tons of relevant info, especially on the timing belt. It helped me make a decision when I pulled the trigger on a 100 Series of my own. A one-owner...

    Lazy Man's Way To Smooth Cables

    Chris - I'm glad it worked out for you. Mark's Off Road Enterprises added a seventh step, worth doing as well. By the way, I checked out your 62 FJ40 build thread - keep up the good work. Hope it hits the road soon. Sent you a PM. Best regards; Greg AKA 68LC

    non-locking lmiitations

    No Lockers 80 I tend to agree with Mssr. Wales and Vasquez - Put on some good tires, bring a buddy, and just see what it will do. Mine is bone stock with BF Goodrich 31.00X10.50XR15 LT rated on stock rims. W/ open differentials, if you begin to loose traction, back off the gas and rely on...

    Lazy Man's Way To Smooth Cables

    Free-up your sticky choke and hand throttle cables. It took about 6 hours to turn some frozen cables to like new this last weekend. Easier than pulling the dash apart, me thinks. Disconnect the cables from the carb. Take a 10-12 inch long piece of 3/16 ID vacuum hose Push it...
