I presume you have the proportioning valve in the rear circuit ?

Got the engine back in and discovered the infamous oil galley plug leaking like a lawn sprinkler. Methinks now I know why the bearing fried. Using the wisdom I found here I was able to tap it and plug it and I am back on the road.

Installed a carb fan.....Let's just hope I don't need the (always empty) window washer bottle. I'll just keep an extra bottle of water and rag on board just incase I need to clean the window.
Note: At this time, the carb fan is run off temperature only. I plan to rewire with the relay for temp & time.
Thanks for the help & photos, Raddic.

Hey GA, what is that you used for a temp sensor?
Started installing bolts

The sensor is a Spal 195-TS, 195 degree Stainless Steel Thermostat. The bracket is a modified Simpson Strong-Tie TP15 Tie Plate.
I have the carb cooling fan relay (85927-60040) and I know the wiring, I just don't have the plug. Trying to figure out how to make the connections to the relay, the dang prongs are so close together.
Anyone know of where to turn for help finding the plug for the 85927-60040, Carb Cooling Fan Relay?

Have you checked coolerman's website or even try PMing him? I'd like to get my fan working as well. I have the components and should have looked for that fuse when I had everything out for my engine install but didn't think of it until now 
Yes, I do. Dialed all the way "off" and then a 1/4 turn back is all it's at however, and the rear still want to skid a tiny bit. They don't lock up during normal hard braking, I have to stop fast and hard on it to TRY to get them to lock up. I drove up and down the road testing, and panic stopping to check and see how things work, no issues under any kind of braking you'd ever do driving. I'm very happy with how well it works. It's also nice that the cruiser stops going backwards too!
it's easiest (and safer) to do the lock-up test for dialing in the proportioning valve on gravel or dirt

Stop calling it a "FJ."
Hi all,
Replaced some worn front shackle bushings, and installed a replacement speedometer cable (the original one broke 2 weeks ago.)

Replaced front marker light gaskets and replaced rear marker light lens, surrounds, and gaskets. All OEM new.
Was cruisin down the street in my 40 at about 50mph. Just put on 2" spacers with the 35's until I swap in fj60 axles. Anyway their is this one light that turns red fast and has the stupid cameras. It caught me off guard-so to avoid a 75 dollar ticket it was time to see how the ol rear drum brakes worked.(I have discs up front) The 35's howled a great deal and caught everyone's attention. Man the spacers just make it feel soooo stable, more so than my stock 3rd gen 4runner. Highly recommended to do spacers. Although I kinda wish I only did 1.5", 2" is a lot.
only $75 ? where do you live ?
Finished putting the tub back on today. A lot bigger job than I was expecting, went faster once I got the spud wrench after it.
Colorado. How much is it by you?
Wow sweet tub. I have to say I don't care for the wheels though.
The wheels are just leftover FJ cruiser wheels used to roll it around in the shop. Still undecided on factory or aftermarket.
