No kidding, the pressure is really on and I just wrapped up a few loose ends and the truck will now reside out doors until it's picked up in a couple of weeks.

I think Rich (FilmPros) is going to do something when he takes the truck back. I told him it can be his post and I'll jump in on the technical questions.
The owner of the truck would like a more professional bracket than the one I boogered together. So I've drawn one up in AutoCad and will eval it in Card Board and then have some laser cut and plated. I'll let every one know when it gets to that point.

1. Super Charger
2. F&R bumpers with Hydraulic MM winch
3. Slee (or FOR) lift
4. Dual batteries with isolator
5. New axles front and rear with some type of replacement axles.
6. Regear ?
7. PM HG ?
8. Rear storage box
9. Rack
Probably a lot more that he was planning... All that had to cost Richy Rich $2k or more.

It's got to come back for round 2. Right now the core of the build is done. We still have 4,8 and 9 on that list to do and a few more things that aren't on the list. Saying a few is minimizing things.
That's OK Junk. I wasn't aware of George's setup. If I was I probably would have gone that route but in the end I really like the capacity of this one. Having to drive in winter up here you can go through a lot of washer fluid in a short time.
I'll be having some of these brackets laser cut and black oxide. If by chance you might be interested in bracket send me a PM. I'm going to have 10 made anyway but if there is more interest than the cost would be cheaper.
well the brackets are complete and black oxided. I installed one on the truck that I'm building and it fit great. Attached are some pictures of the final product. I had 10 made and there are 7 left. I listed them here in the merchandise area "Brackets"
This then allowed me to use the 91 fuse/relay block bracket to move the fuse block out away from the fender whioch inturn allowed me to install the 91 washer bottle.
Quick question though Rick, was the charcoal canister on the truck you were working on completely full of fuel? Mine is and just wanted to make sure its normal.
the canister should only have fumes in it and even then they should be drawn off when you start the truck.
You might want to check your evap system and well as the vent on the bottom of the canister. That vent line connects to a metal tube that runs into the frame rail. Make sure everything is open and not clogged.
We'll I've never "topped off" a single time since day one. Always when the handle goes click. Unless THAT is topping off as well, which would suck
On another note, Rick help me out...
I was just over at Spectre Off Road and they had a 6/90 and 10/91 FJ80 obviously both with 3FEs and both have the charcoal canister on the passenger side just like the 2F motors.
Where did you find the support bracket to hold up your new bracket? I couldn't find anything in there that looks like it would work. You mentioned a 91 but no luck.
that support bracket is the one that came originally on the 97 but taken apart. You remove the brace that goes to the fender by drilling out the spot welds and then bolt my brace to it.
