Aging fleet did the fluid film on his 100. He might be able to get you some info on it. Welcome to Ohio.

Is the meeting still up for the 23 ? I just got the 40 running again and will like to take it for drive. Maybe some trails to see how it does. Here are some pictures of Charlie. That is how the wife calls the 40

Anybody planning to visit Dayton off road expo next weekend? Never been there but would like to check it out.

Might try to stop on Sunday if possible. Cannot go Saturday due to other commitments.

I’m definitely going!

Wasn't even aware of it but will definitely try to drag the wife to it! Thanks for the heads up!

I went last year it and it was kind of lame in my opinion.

I was looking at sponsors and why not and kinda got to the same conclusion. I got nothing to do on Sunday and might as well go check it out and show some support. I can always make a stop at Yellow Spring Brewery for a cold one before returning home.

I’ll try to make it if my schedule is free.

For a Cruiser GTG, the 23rd is good for me also. just sayin...

@Minden Monster, fluid film is a cheap, easy and does a pretty good job. It won't help with existing rust, but keeps things from forming or getting worse. Advanced Auto is the only place that I've found it in my area and I generally use ~ 3 spray cans each fall.

A professional application would involve spraying into the doors, body cavities and the under body. With the DIY spray cans, I generally just hit the axle, frame rails, and suspension bits. I'm pretty generous with marine grease on my fasteners too. It's all messy as hell, but it's better than rust IMO.

The 23d may work for me, I'll keep an eye on this thread in case the weather cooperates.

My local Lowes carry fluid film.


NH oil probably last longer. This shop in plain city is the authorized shop around here.

The NAPA next to my house also carries fluid film.

Sadly I still can’t make the 23rd. Will be in Cleveland for the day.

Where on the 23rd

 

[FJ40Jim]

We used to meet at Donato's around town because they usually have a meeting room for free use, or at least a big dining room to pull together a few tables.

The weather's still a little too cold for a city park meetup & cookout.

 

[Sirrattles]

Is this a club we need to join or is it just an informal get together for Ohio Cruiser owners? And, is there a confirmed location? I'm up in the Cleveland area and may be in the Columbus area tomorrow simply by chance. Unfortunately, my truck is winter storage.

 

[FJ40Jim]

The only rule for this club is: there are no rules.

We kinda dropped the ball on naming a meetup location for tomorrow, the 23rd.

@FJ40Jim

Hey Jim - Just saw your name in your tag line and recognized it from years ago when I had my '83 FJ40. If I recall, you were the master of the 40 series carb rebuilds?? I was going to send you mine for a rebuild but never got around to it and then sold the truck.

 

[Sirrattles]

I was a member of the Mid-Ohio Cruisers club back then - still have a t-shirt!

I’m down to meet up tomorrow and drive together to Dayton.

I have to drive to Indy to pick up some wheels/tires for our Mini. Sounds like a crappy weather day though.

As for Fluid Film, I've been using it for a few years now on mine. 3 or 4 cans per year seems to do the trick. So far very pleased.
