    What could cause burning smell through vents?

    Burning rubber smell strong for a few mins then gone. Has come back as very faint smell a couple of times. AC compressor going out? Belts are all new. How can I check if the AC belt is the culprit? I have read about the emergency brake return seizing up, but I doubt that would come through...

    Brief burning smell

    I think it was burning rubber. There was no smell coming from the engine compartment I'm fairly sure.

    Brief burning smell

    Driving around today a strong burning smell suddenly came through the vents with the AC on, it lessened after about 45 seconds and is faint from the outside of the truck but no longer comes from the vents. Any ideas? Edit: The temp guage read normal dead center.

    Help!! My drivers side door wont shut...

    Sometimes that plastic sleeve can deteriorate and muck up the latch operation. I just grabbed an exacto and some pliers and started cutting and yanking until it freed up.

    Tire Advise

    I can't speak about the Cooper STT's but the Aussie's love the Cooper ST's. Excellent street tire with a see through channel that evidently squeezes the mud out better than any AT type tire (although this is far from and AT). The tread is very aggressive and I'd give them a look before you decide.

    I got my FSM on ebay. Just keep bidding low and you'll get it eventually.

    New wheels.....FINALLY!

    You're motivating me to get my roofrack off. I'm just afraid of the refinishing cost.

    Unbelievably basic question re: antifreeze

    I had thought of that but wasn't sure if there it would cause problems. Sounds like the easiest solution to me. Thanks.

    OLD MAN EMU VS STOCKl WHICH ONE IS BETTER?

    I'm kind of a newbie around here, but from my reading I think that if you're going to be adding the extra weight of a winch/bumper etc up front you will have to get stiffer springs. Go with the OME but I'm not sure what stiffness the parts you list are.

    Suspension Question

    There is a big section on lifts in the FAQ and on the Slee website. OME stock height will give you another inch lift netting you 2" with those tires. Or, just get some new Toyota springs if you're sure you don't want a lift.

    Unbelievably basic question re: antifreeze

    What is a good container to mix your antifreeze in? Any old bucket or are there some materials that would polute the coolant?

    Oxymoron?: a mud capable A/T?

    Since you bumped this thread to the top, I'll give an update. I went with the Cooper S/T in 255/85 size. The Aussie article posted above is what sold me. Not high on the sexiness factor, but I think they have the best chance for doing what I want. They go on today. Thanks for all the input...

    '94 FZJ80 Conversion to Biodiesel / Vege-oil burner....

    Cruiser Solutions in NH will do a diesel conversion for $20,000, then it's not that difficult to go bio diesel, or so I'm told.

    Oxymoron?: a mud capable A/T?

    The Coopers look interesting, are much cheaper, and are said (by the manufacturer) to have stout sidewalls. Any experience with them, Jon?

    Oxymoron?: a mud capable A/T?

    Crap, sorry man. I really did search and hate posting the same damn thread that had already been covered. I'll go flog myself :D

    Oxymoron?: a mud capable A/T?

    Yea Jon, I think that's what I'll end up with but for $1000 plus, I want to make sure I've covered all my bases.

    Oxymoron?: a mud capable A/T?

    ***spent an hour searching and reading but didn't find this exact topic covered*** The question is: Is there an A/T tire that isn't completely useless in mud? Almost every comparison or review thread includes statements like "they're fantastic in everything but mud where they fill up and...

    Another Shortbus Bumper Appreciation Thread

    Looks awesome, congrats! I want one, but new tires have to come first and not sure if both are in the budget. That bumper is pricey!
