Found a decent deal on a 200 series, Grey on Grey, this week and pulled the trigger. Its an 08 with 144k on the odo. Found the truck in Houston and did a bit of homework. It's lived its life in Texas and appears to have only been to the mall...with kids in it as the rear cup holder is...
If you are in Ft. Collins I may have a deal for you. One of the Summit vendors is looking for a 100 series to mock up some skids. Let me know if you are interested and I will get you connected.
This review is long over due. The crew at EMS offered up a final fit exhaust at no charge and I happen to not live that far from their shop and was able to jump on the offer. Life has been very busy with planning for the FJ Summit but that is now done and am happy to report that the event was...
Mark your calendars! It's official, FJ Summit #7 will be held July 17-21, 2013 in Ouray, Colorado!
Make plans to put faces to forum names and hang with your favorite vendors. Last years event drew in over 600 people from all across North America. With three days of wheeling, eating...
I saw on FB today that Metal Tech is at it again and will be offering lower links for the 100 series. They will ship complete with grade 8 bolts for $325.
:clap:
I picked up my LC on Friday after having the tranny replaced and it was hot as a MOFO outside. We drove from Dallas to Wichita Falls where it was hotter then the next day we headed up to OKC where the needle popped 115* at one point. Sitting still the AC was not blowing cold, while driving all...
I rode with a Bill Burke trained certified offroad instructor recently in his 80 series LC. He shifted in to L and then turned on his CDL and left it on the whole time we were on dirt. So when do you use your CDL? Do you leave it on all the time while offroad?
I have read all of the threads about the poor 2000 tranny and after 140k miles I thought I was in the clear, apparently not. This is a bit long but I wanted to share my experience.
A couple of weeks ago we took off out of Austin and headed for Ouray, Colorado. As one of the directors of...
I did a search and there is a closed thread about this code but the culprit was reset and never posted about again.
I am in Santa Fe and will be heading to Ouray tomorrow and when I started the truck this morning I threw the P0715 code. A search says input/turbine speed sensor circuit...
I swapped out my one year old tires today and listed them on CL, thought I would post em up here as well. 5 Falken Rocky Mountain ATS tires, 285/75/16, with a little over 20k on 4 of em and 0 on the spare, they originally came with a 50k mile read wear warranty. I rotate them every 5k so the...
Yep, the whole thing! As you all know the windshield on the Hundy acts like a magnifying glass and I for one don't like the burning sensation it provides. I stopped by the tint place that did my two side windows and asked about doing the windshield with the ceramic tint. They offer a ceramic...
Saw this at Colvins on Hancock today, it is amazing! 55 that is almost completely restored and tricked. They added power steering, disc brakes, high output alternator, bluetooth stereo with sub, alarm, power automatic windows (touch the original roller crank and they go) full dynomat, electric...
Is there any way to tighten the tension on the seat belts? I don't want them super tight I just want them to return when removed. The back ones barely return and my kids take em off and shut em in the door and it pisses me off...:bang:
Out with the old and in with the new. I picked up a set of Ironman rear springs and swapped em out with the 12 year old stock ones today. I have a set of the 30mm Slee spacers that were on the old springs.
Side by side I didn't think they would lift my truck that much so I added the spacers...
My 2000 LC has the compass in the mirror that works on a part time basis. Its more annoying than it is a problem and my owners manual only shows the old school non powered rear view mirror.
I utilized the instructions from my FJ and held down the comp button on the mirror until the C...
I have a buddy that threw the P0400 code, Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow Malfunction. I did a search and came up with nothing, any thoughts on what to do? Is this a bad 02 sensor or cat starting to go?
I know its not tech but please leave it for a day or so...
Some great reasons for 100s to attend the 2012 Summit...Our incredible list of vendors keeps growing and includes Slee Offroad, Proffitts Cruisers Metal Tech, Ironman Offroad, and TRDParts4u among others. Right now the majority of...
So when I hooked up my winch, that I am currently rebuilding for a number of reasons, I decided to add a cut off switch. I did this for two reasons; to keep people from messing with it and to keep my battery charged, one of the problems I was having was that it was drawing power when not in use...
I have a couple extra large plastic pool chemical buckets with screw on lids if someone wants em, they probably hold 7 gallons or so. I use them to store old oil in for recycle.
Lemme know
