    Sad story, found my '71 that I sold over 10 yrs ago..

    Wow, that Ford Knight story is amazing, and that's how I HOPED my '55 saga would end up. No, I didn't buy it, no way is it worth what he's asking. And yes, I realize now my old memories are better than the reality. You all may have been watching that '79 55 on ebay that just sold....in...

    HR588 2.5L turbodiesel, opinions?

    Search where? HR588 doesn't bring up anything in this forum, and can't find negatives in broader internet search, either.

    Sad story, found my '71 that I sold over 10 yrs ago..

    If the current owner is reading this I apologize, but after looking at it I went away saddened at it's condition, but hopeful the current owner brings it some happiness. I sold my '71 55 back in 2010 or maybe before, I'm sure I posted a bazillion questions on it here during the time I owned...

    HR588 2.5L turbodiesel, opinions?

    I just learned that I'm a 15-yr member, but I haven't posted in YEARS, and this is my first post regarding the 70-series. So looking at a BJ73, what is the consensus on the HR588 2.5L turbodiesel by VM Motari? The power specs look anemic, even based on my past experience with the venerable F...

    Saving The Old Rustbucket--My 1982 FJ40 Tale

    Whoa! I just read the Commander's soliloquy centered around Liquid Wrench, and soon discovered that I'd reached the end of this thread (so far...). I thought this epic was chronicled all the way up to Seattle? Maybe my browser wore out and won't refresh that far... Waiting for more with bated...

    Saving The Old Rustbucket--My 1982 FJ40 Tale

    This thread has made the hours I've spent here all worthwhile... ...and I've only gotten up to post #44, where I discovered there WAS a pic of the Zinger girls posted! Is it posted elsewhere? How can I get that imaginary image out of my mind? I read post #22, introducing the Zinger girls...

    T-max winch solenoid box replacement?

    Test light only verified whether or not ANY amps/voltage was coming OUT via the activated solenoids. Still pissed off. Anybody have any GOOD luck with these T-Max winches?

    T-max winch solenoid box replacement?

    My 11,000-lb T-Max winch wouldn't work AGAIN, and THIS time I can hear the solenoids inside the box clicking when I activate the wireless remote. Power is going IN to the box from the battery lead, FWD/REV switches on the remote produce "clicking" inside the box, but no power is coming out to...

    For Sale Transfer case

    UPDATE: Internals all removed How would I determine what year it is? Just removed the entire output shaft, gears, and idler gear and shaft. BUT, the strange OD input gear is still in the case, it's loose, but I CAN'T GET IT OUT, it's like it was installed by magic. So what I have is a...

    Tmax winch controller ground smoking, and what is time limit for pull?

    Discovered my problem (I think): Yes, when in doubt, READ THE MANUAL! The Installation instructions clearly state to ADD a BIG, FAT ground wire from the same motor ground that the little black smoking wire is attached to, and attach the other end to the battery - post. Duh. So there...

    Tmax winch controller ground smoking, and what is time limit for pull?

    Never thought of using the wired control instead of wireless, if that little ground wire is specific to the wireless function, that may solve the problem. But I'll still need to find out why it's happening. During the smoking action, the wireless controller still worked fine. No smoking until...

    Tmax winch controller ground smoking, and what is time limit for pull?

    I applied load to my EW11000 (think that's the model) winch this weekend, pulling a telephone-pole type log across flat ground to a dry area where I could cut it up. I used pulls that I was afraid were too long; 15 sec, maybe 20 sec, and the winch pulled fine, but the small black wire that...

    talked my Dad into buying this 65 fj45lv and needed to share!

    If I'd had my camera with me, I would've taken a dozen, underneath and everything. I still can't believe I saw such a rare beast in CT. Those things exist out west, maybe south, I guess since Fairfield County, CT is such a rich place, there's bound to be wealthy gearheads, one of which...

    talked my Dad into buying this 65 fj45lv and needed to share!

    Dudes, remember THIS: I posted these pics a couple of years ago. Just shows how a 45 can be restored AND upgraded to modern at the same time! https://forum.ih8mud.com/40-55-series-tech/232015-its-45-but-figured-40-owners-would-like.html
