    Most street-able M/T? Opinions?

    I currently have Firestone Destination MTs and they have been great. A little noise but noise from mudders is cool. I had a set of Bridgestone Dueller MTs for over 10 years before they wore out. Most of the wear was from alignment and/or balance issues. The Firestone/Bridgestone rubber...

    Lost my nuts - o2 sensor

    Happened to me too. I was accelerating up a hill and, like you, thought I blew my muffler. Glad I am not the only one.

    How many miles did you drive with your 80s in '08?

    I am not really sure but I estimate 10 to 12K. 2008 included a trip from Georgia to Alaska with both 80s. My '97 is my daily driver and I do about 80+ miles a day. My wife's does aout 5 a day going to the school and back.

    clutch MC ?:

    It seems to me that the slave cylinder goes alot more often than the master. If you haven't replace/rebuilt the master in a while it is worth it to go ahead and do both. I think I got mine as a kit from CCOT. I have also purchased them from th local parts store. Overall, not real expensive...

    Rear Shock Mount Question?

    The mount on the side of the spring plate is stock. I re-mounted my shocks on the the block above the spring that you referred to. I had bought different spring plates and they did not have the pin on them. The was a hole already in the block between the springs and the axle so I just put the...

    fuel regulator required for weber 38?

    I was not really complaining about the Weber, just trying to make it run better. Anyway, I am having another fuel/air problem right now. The old girl runs fine until she gets to operating temperature then starts stalling at idle. I just installed a double intake/exhaust gasket and I think...

    fuel regulator required for weber 38?

    I have had a Weber 38 on my 2F since 1995 with the mechanical fuel pump. I have never had a regulator and have had relatively few problems, but reading some of these posts makes me believe I need to go that route. I have had no real problems associated with the carb (I think) but have had...

    Oxygen Sensor

    Does anyone know the size, thread pitch, etc. of the two nuts that hold the oxygen sensor down? Mine blew out of the exhaust pipe all together. Apparently there were no nuts on it. The threads on the studs were rusted. I guess I just never noticed. The bad thing was is that I was near...

    How much crap have you had in the cargo area at one time?

    My wife came home one day with a washer and a dryer stuffed in the back.

    1978 FJ40 – Opinions?

    If it is still overheating and blowing coolant out of the overflow I would say you have a blown head gasket. Not too hard to fix.

    how important is muffler insulator?

    I installed an "early" exhaust system from SOR on my '77 which is the same as yours (exhaust that is). I have had it for over 12 years without a heat shield/insulator and have had no problems. I have often thought of getting one but never did. I am sure you could get one cheap from some of...

    Steering stabilizer mounting bracket

    The bracket is also probably getting banged by the bump stops on the steering knuckle.

    Weber/Gas Pedal Pics?

    I also have the stock linkage. I got the Weber from Man-a-fre with an adapter for the stock set-up rather than the cable. I heard it is much better than the cable linkage. I did add a spring in there to make it idle back down though. If you want, I can take some pictures tomorrow when the sun...

    Welcome Ga Crzrs - Post A Pic Of Your Ride

    Me too, as far as the sleepless nights. Yes, I am airborne. I went to Airborne school here back in 1993. I have been to Alaska. I claim it as my home. In fact my FJ40 has done the trip 5 times. Look forward to seeing your pics.

    Newbie- how many people use 150k plus as daily driver

    I have 170,000 miles on her and she is my daily driver. I bought the '97 FZJ80 because I thought it might get better mileage (and ride smoother) than the '77 FJ40 I have been driving daily for 20 years.
