    Rebuild Kits?

    Bought one with (only?) 100 k on the clock in austin recently for 500. 9 hr trip, one way, had to buy a 900 dollar trailer for the beast once there because I couldn't get it in the Tundra without possible damage to the beast of a motor, the pickup, or both.. Ever ask yer self, "what the hell...

    Central Texas - Who to use

    Edwin did some work for my bro a few yrs ago and I've seen him tinker with cruisers at an event. I would go to him; seemed to be fair and works through problems; seems to have been around lots of 2fs. If you have a Weber that's why its running rich. A good stock carb is best. Fuel...

    Gas tank under pass. sucks a----

    Check the hoses where they enter the tank (on the driver side of the tank); one of mine worked loose and leaked; just replaced it and no probs.

    Line-x for you 40'ers...

    To do it right, you have to remove everything (incl the steering column). Prep in the key, it needs to be rust free if possible and rough, about 80 grit. This is easy on large flat surfaces; difficult in nooks and crannies. I prepped and taped my own tub then had trouble getting anyone who...

    Distributor Octain Adjustment

    Or if your marks are worn off you can use a timing light and see which way the mark moves. If the RPMs pick up at idle, you are prolly advancing.

    Ping / Knock chasing

    Run high octane gas, which is PING or KNOCK or PRE DETONATION resistant. Do a compression check; after desmogging these engines sometimes end up with HIGH compression therefore requiring high octane fuel. Not sure how the MSD with larger gap would affect things. Stock gap is less. A...

    Dual ignition

    Yeah, I'm working on my dual battery/dual alternator set up. Modified smog pump bracket on desmogged 2F with 100 amp GM alternator going to optima yellow top, with independent wiring for winch/fog lights/ stereo/etc. Stock alternator (35 amp) to red top and all stock systems. If a component...

    Questions about late Model seat tracks

    Those rivets are permanent. I did have mine sandblasted and coated, however. Turned out great; maybe the inside is not coated but you cannot see it. Here's a pic of the parts just after coating. DuPont Vulcan Black and Dupont Silverdilla. Wheels are Dupont Concrete gray. Yes, I have a...

    Snowy Passes

    Here's Imogene Pass this week; still blocked by about 40 yards of snow from an avalanche and not yet passable. The 40 is at the end of the line.

    Yes, olive brown. One of the three correct colors (olive brown, sea foam green, and smurf blue).

    Stock Re-arching

    My spring specialist here re arched and added custom leaves to my FJ60, resulting in 2 inches over new stock lift. Importantly, he heat treats the springs after re arch to help them hold arch over the long haul. After about a year , no sag. There are very few "blacksmiths" left that will do...

    Sweet cruiser, dog, and girlfriend

    It's a Hi Lift, mounted with an old bracket that used to be made by Con Fer, I think. Bolts to windshield hinge holes. I put a piece of heavy rubber underneath with two small holes in the running board with stainless screws; inside the bracket I used a poly bushing leftover from suspension...

    Sweet cruiser, dog, and girlfriend

    Oh, yeah, tech: I had to tune my carb (lean out the idle mixture) at about 9000 feet. Plus the original hub caps really really worked at keeping things clean.

    Sweet cruiser, dog, and girlfriend

    Wheeled up around Telluride this week; Ophir Pass, Imogene Pass (Black Bear still closed for snow). Incredible beauty. Worth the 9 hour drive trailering the 40 behind a Tundra. Don't know who had more fun, my girlfriend or my dog. :grinpimp:

    Notice any big difference running wider tires?

    Plus hot chicks dig tall and skinny tires. Seriously, I just wheeled around Telluride with 33X9.5 BFG MTs (I know, no longer available) and love the way they ride on the road and on up to moderate trails (have not yet tried any extreme trails). Very controllable, do not follow ruts in the...
