    AT-205 - Really?!

    I’ve never used the AT205. I used Blue devil instead because it was mid-winter and snow everywhere. I bought everything to fix the leak but… that was 3+ years ago and no problems.

    Catalytic converter problems (Maybe)

    Looking for people who have had problems with the catalytic converters on their FZJ. I have a 97 with 240k on the clock that I’ve owned for over 13 years. A while back it started running very weak which came on fairly quick and for lack of better terms feels like it has asthma or COPD( I’m a...

    loss of power

    Vsv was changed when I found the hose off on the bottom of the EGR vacuum modulator. All hoses under the manifold were replaced with high temp silicone about 3 years ago. I took my vacuum reading on the top of the intake manifold where the power brake booster hose port is. I didn't bother...

    loss of power

    My 97 FZJ has a loss of power. Upon checking out multiple things I found the hose at the bottom of the egr modulator had came off and melted a hole in the modulator. I replaced the modulator and hose figuring that was the problem. It done the same thing again, except it didn't get a chance to...

    Put a set of the Kenda RTs on the wife's Heep. Some of the best tires I've used so far. Priced well and minimal tread wear at 15K+ miles. Glad to hear others like them too.

    Ethanol free ?

    Living at elevation I can say that my 97 HATES the, "ethanol enriched fuel". The only type of ethanol free we have locally is premium at about $4+/gal. When I drive on a warm day, from town (5800') to home (7100') the thing smells like a distillery . It's worse the higher up I go. Last year my...

    New guy here

    Sounds like you belong on MUD. With the way parts availability/prices are going on the 80s you need to able to build things yourself. Oh, and by the way, Welcome to the insanity!

    Painting Land Cruiser Rustoleum

    I painted my 72 Blazer with Rustoleum about 20 years ago using an electric sprayer. Wet sanded it first and thinned the paint down quite a bit. Sprayed several coats allowing it to tack between. I was able to get a real nice gloss by rubbing it out and waxing it after a few months of cure time...

    5.5in vacuum at 10,000 ft, I need more for the booster?

    Summit Racing has electric vacuum pumps for use on big cammed cars.

    Charcoal Canister

    Ours has that strange smell too. I think ours is due to the wonderful amount of ethanol in our gas here. I know a good dirt bike won't hardly run on the stuff after sitting for a week or so. Same smell in it's gas tank as well.

    NWTI bumpers

    Omaha and weather warming up. That makes chills run down my spine! I was born and raised there, left in 2000. There are a lot of things I still miss about it but the weather ain't one. I noticed that the CWS starts at the end of the week. That always means storms and tornados. Good luck with...

    [off topic] fuel economy and synthetic engine oils

    We definently notice the summer/winter blend thing as well. As far as oil, find one your vehicle and wallet likes and go with it. What I've noticed over way too many years is that certain vehicles like certain oils as well as fuels better. It's just like women prefer certain wines over others...

    fuel injectors.....who reconditions them?

    Being a Montrose resident myself the elevation does tax them a bit. We put 315 tires on ours and regeared to 488s made a huge improvement. The wife keeps track of mileage in ours and in the summer it gets around 15-16mpg but when the winter grade gas comes in it drops by a couple. I love that...
