Try it, but I was given an fj40 outer boot and its totally different from fj55

Trim it

Fixes so far from my Cruzer Cult Colorado trip-
Topped off the transfer/ transmition
Fixed rear shock
Found out how to dim roof lights
Oh boy, front passenger sway bar bracket had lost the nut. Fortunately I had bought a spare!!!!!! And the treads had not been totally buggered so I simple fixed that
Filled out my wood box w more attuned necessities.
Moves my charcoal canister to the aft end of the rig. Hoping that I can claim a non stinky existence. Has been noted inthe past that one needs a gas mask to feel okay on the way.
Changed my gmsr radio to channel rather then frequency. Was the worst without glasses!!!
Organized the road tool kit. Bought some bags to hold various groupings of tools. I had everything in a jumble.

Made orders!

So my immediate quest is to make the rig able to have an easy time with, say a ‘books on tape’.

Dreaming???

Maybe, but others have done it, right?

Questing!!

 

[xtiaan2000]

On my quest to quiet down the cab I have been struggling with the exhaust. Originally I had it set up to go all the way out behind the driver tire, but I had not added this Delta part.

You know, to handle the three inch lift I put on. Now there is no room so it empties right in front of my drvr rear tire.
Too loud
Too stinky!
I have to make room to get that exhaust out the back.

Maybe instead of the angle of the panhard being adjusted by raising the axle side, which is real sweet,

Maybe I could drop it on the body side.

Kinda like Eimkeith does with their kits.

Maybe even use the Delta bracket cut down and welded in.

Thoughts?

Can you run the exhaust to the pass. side?

 

[bobm]

Where is exhaust???? No pics HIHO

 

[xtiaan2000]

Transfer case and drive shafts seem to block the passenger side.

 

[xtiaan2000]

Thoughts?

 

[samc2447]

On the 80 it goes up and over the crossmember and under the body where the springs are on the passenger side. What's your clearance to run it over that crossmember and out the passenger side?

 

[xtiaan2000]

With the big gas tank there is no room on t he passenger side.

I will post up pics later today.

 

[xtiaan2000]

That Panhard bracket is in the way.

It squeezes out right below that cross member at full bump.

With that Delta correcting bracket it closes up that space. So the idea seems that to just reverse. Instead of going up on the driverside come down on the passenger side. Keep the space while getting correction. Dave hooked me up with some videos on Eimkeith brackets.
.

Could that be my answer?

 

[xtiaan2000]

It would of been cool to have cleaned up the area. Not cool enough though.

 

[xtiaan2000]

 

[xtiaan2000]

Would this end up being too close to the filler gas hose or even the gas tank?

Heatsheild or wrap for Safety

Look at the first 2 pictures in this post to show you where the 80 exhaust runs over the rear crossmember. It looks like you have room to snake it through on either side, but it will be tight and lots of bends or pie cuts. 80 exhaust

 

[RUSH55]

How did @TachedOutOffRoad run his exhaust?

 

[bobm]

Dunno . Did my 80 outta 2 or 2 1/2 but it started on drivers side then went to p/s.

 

[xtiaan2000]

Shifting gears. I have to ponder some further questions and ordering.

Furthering the quest for a ‘books on tape’ capable vehicle.

I am pretty sure I will be able to hear a pin drop after this attempt!
No really!

 

[xtiaan2000]

Cool. I think it’s gonna work.

Just gotta figure out how to get it over the fat part of the stick. Not a problem I have had before.

 

[J Mack]

get it over the fat part of the stick

Straight dish soap, lots of it .
Pull hard
