  Introduction and Charcoal canister routing question.

  By thisollandcruiser

  I've meaning to do this introduction for a while. I've been grateful for this community of FJ60 wizards and will still definitely need more help. I purchased this FJ60 a year or so ago and am loving the process of fixing issues. (Of which there are many). We're planning on using this as our adventure rig and project for the foreseeable future. It has been desmogged, and has had a Weber carburetor installed prior to my owning it. Along with the pictures of the car, I've added a picture from... Read more

  Ram Air Project for the Poly

  By 66 Sat

  Now that my car has reached the dizzy heights of 101mph in the quarter I thought it was time to pull out all the old tricks to see what effect they would have on performance. I got thinking about the intake temperatures and how hot the air must be that the carb is sucking. If it's an average day here, say 70°F in the winter and 85°F in the summer (it will get to 105°F on really hot days), the air going in the carb must be 120°+ at a guess. With my unsilenced air cleaner it has that 1" gap... Read more

  Had to hone a cylinder that had some rust

  By rjrobin2002

  Had one cylinder that got some water in it and I gave it a slight stone hone and then ball hone. 3 spots about 1/2" diameter didn't come out. Put some fresh cast rings in that one hole. Do yall think the 3 spots are gonna cause a compression or oil consumption issue?

  By Duster360LA

  Attached is a flier and entry form for a Mopar Show in San Antonio on Oct. 24. Since San Antonio is fairly central, I thought we might be able to get a dozen or so Texas FABO members to attend so we could meet and visit face to face. Hope to see some folks there!

  Driver's side vent cap......why?

  By keymonkey

  Perhaps this has been asked and answered before but; why on earth are restoration houses and bronco builders covering what I feel is one of the best features of the gen1......the driver's side vent? They even make billet aluminum and branded covers like its a cool thing to do. I have a buddy who's restorer covered his and his reasoning was simply..."meh, they did it on their own, but whatever." I would rage if someone took away my beloved vent.

  How do you run a rampage top as a Safari top?

  By Johnnyb

  I've tried several times using my rampage top as a Safari top with the side and rear windows removed. It worked pretty well until the back corner piece is blow out. This last time when they blew out, they broke the easy track in the bottom and now they don't stick properly in any mode, just the rear corners. Thanks, JB

  Stumped Trying to Test Truck's Trailer Brake Output

  By mtofell

  Got a new travel trailer a couple months ago and the brakes just aren't grabbing the way past trailers have - I've adjusted the "gain" to 10 and tried both "light electric" and "heavy electric" and it just remains mediocre. Using stock brake controller on my 2014 Ram 2500. I do get some braking but barely enough to hold the truck from moving while idling in D on a flat surface. Looking into testing my truck's trailer brake output to rule it out and am stumped about what kind of tester I... Read more

  LX Headlight Upgrade Database

  By DirtDawg

  After all the recent threads, I just figured I would compile everything into one resource thread for people to use and share their upgrades. It is also a great place to ask questions as I have dealt with about every HID setup on the market, and all the questions can be in one thread for future reference. I am not affiliated with The Retrofit Source, but believe they have the best products and customer service on the market, and have been using them for many years with absolutely amazing... Read more
