I ordered a Lynskey Pro sl 29'er a couple of days ago and it should be here at the end of next week. I have had many bikes and am currently on a SC Superlight, which has been a great bike.
I have always wanted to build a Ti hardtail, and also have been wanting a 29'er, so i...
While i love Land Cruisers, I thought i would post my Dodge 3500 Mega Cab Cummins build.

Hi all.
My fj40.5 xtra cab pu is 4 linked with 1/4 elliptical springs, and want to get rid of some body roll and help get better traction. I have never installed an anti rock set up before and was wondering how to install one, best location, etc..This will be for the rear of my rig.
Thanks in...
Hi guys.
Anyone know what the laws are in California for emissions testing for a 1986 fj60. Are these exempt because of age ? Would an fj60 with a crate TBI 350 pass smog ?
Thanks in advance.

I have a black canvas top from ocdbeetle that I installed about a month ago, and it is now medium dark grey instead of black. I had no idea it would fade this fast. Any good ideas or products you have used to restore the top back to black ?
Any help would be sweet.
I just finished my crate 350 tbi conversion and was wondering what the typical operating temps should be. I installed a custom Griffen dual 1 1/2" core aluminum radiator with 2700 cfm electric fan and am running temps in the 195-210 range, sometimes a bit more on long grades, but cools down...
What kind of headers are you SBC guys running in a 40 engine compartment ? I am thinking Hooker ceramic coated block huggers, but have not ordered yet. I also have a set of rams horns. What do the boy's say ?

Has anyone installed a fj cruiser/ tacoma v6 with 6 speed manual tranny in a 40 ? It seems like it would have plenty of power, + all the goodies. Any thoughts ?
Hey everyone,
If you are looking for a GREAT option for your f or 2f that needs a carb rebuild, You should take a look at the carbs and dizzys that TROLLHOLE (Marshall) has come up with. I installed one yesterday on a '78 2f and it is working awesome. His add is in the merchandise storefront...
