Hey @lechnito I've got a couple questions regarding your OME installation. At our last meet up you mentioned that I should buy the "yellow" torch correct? Is there a particular reason? How long did it take you to do the install and would you suggest starting on one end of the rig before the...

I have been reading so many install stories I am spinning. I hear some people use RTV sealant to greasing the threads and rubber washers. I want to make the install solid but also don't want to make it overly complicated. Would love to get some pros and cons on using some of these methods on...

Hello, I purchased a '67 that had come with a new CCOT Replica OE tank installed. However, the owner mentioned the filler neck would fill with fuel, and would require waiting for a few minutes between filling because fuel just stays in the filler neck, before gurgling down. Why is this? I've...

Installed a Grizzly locker in the rear of my 95 today. Everything went smoothly with a couple of hiccups so I thought I'd share with the forum my experience. Took about 6 hours total including removing all the old gasket material from the housing and axle flanges. First of all, don't buy the...

Is there supposed to be a gasket between the MC and the booster? I have a FJ62 and took off the old MC and there was nothing between the two but I thought I read somewhere there was supposed to be. Thanks for any help!

Need some AC experts to give a bit of advice on the best way to get the AC evaporator box installed. How much of the dash needs to come out? Have the glove box out already, but it will not fit in. Do these other AC parts it hooks up to on both sides need to be loosened? Removed? Does the...

I've read the thread about installing slee sliders. Not sure if there are any other options available currently but the slee version look great. For those that have installed them, how difficult are they to install? I am a mechanical neophyte and have limited tools. I imagine just based on...

I have been looking around my 12ht to fit my aftermarket gauges and it's not looking like a simple install with out losing my stock water temp gauge unless I drill and tap into the water pump housing ?. I'm thinking of running the manual oil pressure from a piggy back system on the stock...

Hi all, Coming from the VW diesel world where there is passionate debate about the merits of pre vs. post-turbo EGT probe reliability, my usual mechanic balked at a post-turbo install (he's a friend as well). Are there any easy to get to and robust locations for pre-turbo EGT probe installation...

Hey Team, I'm putting in my new Koyo radiator and after having had one hell of a time with the forward facing bolt on the PS of the radiator I'm thinking I'll grind it down so it's about 5 mm shorter than it was. I had a terrible time getting a socket on it because of its location. My deep...
