wrenching thread

[the gimpey one]

So now that winter is upon us what are you going to be doing to your rig?

I have front springs and bushings to install. Hitch to install. Also got to go see stan aka ncfj about some plastic here soon.

Water pump, brakes and tune up on the 62. Diff drop and brakes on the 100. Nothing exciting.

SELL the 80

Finish restoring the 40 then SELL it

Install a new clutch and roll bar in the 45, then actually spend more time out driving and wheeling it than in the garage working constantly on endless cruiser projects

In short the main goal is to get down to one cruiser for the first time in a decade

Replace rotors
Fluid/filter swap in the transmission
Re-plumb the compressor air lines (leak somewhere)
Replace the nonfunctioning relay on my compressor
Replace the controller PCB on my fridge
Figure out why my winch controller doesn't work (spools out, not in)

4Runner:
Fix front brakes, probably Tundra upgrade. Find some 265/75/16 tires, seem to be harder to find at a good price than 35s at this point. Take 2" BL off.

Find a second vehicle for a DD....Full size van....modify it for DD use, camping, road trips, etc.

Cool thread.

FJ60: lcwizard's rear bumper/tire carrier, fix oil leaks, valve grind and head work, winch, finish LED exterior lights, install slc62's aux relay box and wire harness, new OME bushings, and re-arch the springs, trouble shoot ARB's front and rear, hopefully H55 and new clutch parts.

FZJ80: new front axle housing and new DS birf, full axle rebuild; new rear axle housing and full axle rebuild; new wire harness and new injectors; redo aux electricals and rebuild M8000. Fix torn panhard to frame mating spot, reinforce PS gear box (sucks ripping that off on the Dusy).

Work hard to fund projects.

I saw this posting on another forum. I've used Fram for years but I don't know now that I've seen all these results. I haven't had any problems. I use a Valvoline oil and a Lucas oil treatment mix. What does everyone else use.

Fixed the winch issue. Turns out the pins in the plug end of the controller wire got pushed into the plug. Needle nose pliers pulled them back out to normal length, they "clicked" into place and all works well.
