    SpeedHut/MM Tachometer Yellow Wire in '90 FJ62

    Just received my new SpeedHut gauges from @FJ60Cam at Mosley Motors. They look AWESOME! I think I have the SpeedHut lighting inverter and the "main" wiring figured out, but I'm worried about this yellow sensor wire to the tachometer. There seems to be a corresponding yellow wire on the OEM dash...

    Lighting Wiring: Multiple ON switches, Need reverse current circuit protection?

    I'm thinking of installing some small rear LED spotlights, probably under my bumper. And.. maybe some on the sides or corners of my roof rack. Who knows? I already have a front LED bar on my ARB bumper. If I'd like one of the rear LED spotlights to also light up when I'm in reverse, I was...

    "High Mileage" Synthetic Mobil One? Is it Cr@p?

    I've read some of the pros and cons of using synthetic oil, and Mobil 1. So what makes this Mobile 1 suited especially for high mileage cars? Thicker viscosity? Any experience or advice? Is this worth getting?

    I just removed this bumper from my FJ40. I'm going to more of a stock look. The bumper is awesome, and super sturdy. Bolted in 3 areas with total of 12 bumper bolts. I had to cut off the bolt heads, so there are some grind scuffs from the cut-off wheel. I have pictures. The step is aluminum...

    Fuel Filler Neck Rust Treatment?

    Just removed the fuel filler neck from my aux tank. It has some rust patches, nothing deep or serious. I think it might be the source of rust particles in my aluminum fuel tank. If I can remove the rust with wire brush or sanding, is there a safe treatment for the metal to prevent the rust...

    Stainless vs Galvanized Fuel Line?

    Is galvanized zinc brake line safe to use with gas? I think so, but just checking. I was going to order 3/8 stainless steel, but apparently I can not double-flare or bubble flare the ends. Also, the galvanized zinc is cheaper :clap: There's this stuff too.. which is even a little less. But...
