Thanks, I just created an account now and ordered a TRE set and a couple other things. I'll save that for my first Go To when looking for parts. I'll likely put the CCOT TRE's in the tool box for trail repairs.
We would love to help. We stock as much as we can (and growing) for the 2x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x, 12x, 15x, 20x, 250 and 300 platforms. Whenever possible, we stock OEM and or Japanese made parts, stuff we install, run and trust in our own vehicles and travels.

Im having a hard time with this tie rod. The tapered end of the TRE doesn't seem to want to fit enough to expose threads on the bottom side of the steering arm to get the castle nut on. Or am I doing something g wrong here? TIA.

I got home from work the other day to find a small puddle of gas underneath. There was a small drip coming from under the fuel tank. Come to find out, there's a small nipple on the right side of the tank that was capped with rubber that was not compatible with gasoline. It deteriorated and leaked gas all over the passenger side. I pulled all the bad rubber off and put some fuel hose and a plug for now until I can pay more attention to it later. Can anyone tell me what the outlet on that side of the tank is supposed to go to?

I'm pretty sure it's a return line.
I’m not sure on a 74 but earlier tanks that is the outlet to the fuel pump.

There is another 90° elbow coming out of the fuel tank here that this hose is connected to the fuel pump.

I took the top and doors off today and put the Bestop cover on after snapping the picture. We'll see how much rattling noise this cancels.

The circled line goes to the fuel pump. The one not circled is the return line.

The straps next to the jack, is that where the tool bag went?

I've been thinking about putting a coat of Lizard Skin in the bottom of the tub. On one hand, I don't want to change or add anything but on the other hand I'd like to insulate some noise and have a heat barrier.

Yes, save the hardware. It's no longer available. I was fortunate mine was still there, i cleaned mine up and used some nylon strapping I had lying around. I had to make a rectangular end out some heavy
wire. Originally the strapping was a cloth material.

I had the seats reupholstered last week. I liked the black but that would be real hot to sit on in direct sunlight. I also put this ol steering wheel wrap on, the flaking plastic was uncomfortable and an eye sore.
