All,
I have in my possession the original vehicle specification and suggested retail sheet from an FJ-55 imported through New Orleans. It fell out of a book while doing some reading on the toilet!
I would like to re-mate it with current owner of the vehicle it describes.
The ink has faded...
New Project
82' Trekker I just picked up. Picture is as it sat for months while I swooned over it. Needs a frame and tranny work to start.
Hello Hilux Community!:flipoff2:
When will you be travelling? Are you taking the Alcan (#97) or the other way from Highway #16
I've driven the Alcan from Dawson Creek several times. Never in the cruiser. Once in a 71 Ford Econoline(2001) and other times in a 76 IH Traveler (2002)From May to November. One time in May there...
Around my windshield where the gasket meets the paint I've got a couple surface rust spots taking hold.
I am planning on addressing this sometime this year with new windshield, gasket, etc. I had the thought of adding the heritage of the FJ40 white top scheme in a durabek/herculiner...
I had some custom sliders made and took the oppurtunity to gain some clearance by rerouting the exhaust and replacing the double cats with a single Magnaflow from Summit. It was like $65 shipped. $150 for the exhaust work.
I've heard Toyota cats have more platinum and molybdenum and are worth...
You will notice in this generic diagram, that the EGR system is fed directly from the engine; basically an extra exhaust port on the head that feeds the EGR valve with exhaust gas.

:idea: Aha, I see said the ignorant, blind man! In order for my thinking to make any sense the damn...
Ok, but wouldn't an insufficient flow translate on both sides of the cats, and wouldn't this lack thereof translate into higher temps in the exhaust, which would then affect gas/exhaust ratio? Or are you saying that this is only measuring recirculated gas? I'm rereading FAQ soon. It was just...
Load rating is 200+lbs on the TrXus. You also get .2 inches of real diameter, but it is hard to tell from the dimension sheets whether that is made up in tread depth.
You also get a ton of siping compared to the Hankook.
That said, I run the 295 Hankook and have been pleased everywhere...
I had the P401 on for a couple months. Rather than due diligence I just upgraded the modulator to blue. This was no help. I've also had other things in the works including sliders. I had an exhaust shop reroute over the frame rail and go to a single MagnaFlow cat.
The code was on for...
Welcome and :flipoff2: FYI Frankie's Offroad is in Bama. I've no experience with Man A Fre yet. As suggested above, you will probably want to address caster post lift.

FYI see this thread. Norcal Sam has some rave reviews.
I will keep you posted on travel that way as I have a fishing buddy in the York area.
Cstamm, glad to see you post. Also, you've got the luxury of having pre-castor numbers. It would be interesting to feel the driving experience difference in the 2 bushings/degrees. Hmmm, Leesport.... 8 hrs from here.
I am quite pleased with the feel and handle of the setup so far. Though...
My mistake, the vibe I described would stem from the driveshaft. I am not necessarily trying to solve anything. I post these observations for those interested in lift options or just plain input from experience. I've taken plenty info from Mud; including the observations you've provided Nay...
Just replaced the tie rod ends and went to the alignment shop.
In August I purchase Frankie's 3" lift. He left it up to me to decide on 2degree or 3 or 4 (I can't remember) degree castor correction bushings. Due to his experience and input on the larger correction I decided on the 2. He...
Cover- no. Had to use a spacer as well I believe for a little rear clearence.
Memphis speaker w/ directional tweeter that I have aimed toward the front seats. Memphis cover. Different brand in front doors. IIRC JBL's.
