  Mark Levinson door speaker and subwoofer upgrade

  By VR6GURU

  I have replaced the rear subwoofer and all 4 door speakers on my 05 LX and could not be happier. It did take some trial and error and gathering some info from multiple threads on here. Figured I would write up my experience in case others are looking to do the same. I chose to not re-foam my speakers as I felt that the existing speakers were very old and the sound quality could be improved upon. I am by no means an audio installation expert, but my setup has been working just fine for some... Read more

  Original 302 - timing chain and balancer replacement

  By OlliesBronco24

  Good evening everyone. I have dug and dug and have just decided to throw it out to the experts. I have the original 302 motor that had a lot of slop in the timing chain and leaks up front. I decided to change out the front assembly and do the timing chain while it was all out. I got a bit ahead of my self and ordered the wrong chain. The motor originally had a 2 piece Eccemtric timing chain as I still plan on running the manual fuel pump. I got a 1 piece chain. I’m going to pull the wrong... Read more

  Heads Up Display Mod for HDJ-81 Cruisers

  By MUDZLLA

  Decided to modify the current HUD in a HDJ-81. The existing one has an analog compass and altimeter - neither of which works very well or at all. I I decided on a GPS based display along with analog compass and analog inclinometer. Heres the existing display - face is about 5-6cm High by about 20cm wide: Purchased a couple items from Alibaba that looked like they could fit the bill... Analog compass: Analog inclinometer...

  Water temp sensor in edelbrock ram air

  By TrowthePlow

  I'm not really sure where to post this to be honest, but it is something that took me awhile to figure out. I decided to go the route of simplicity and bought a blueprint 408 for my 67 Coronet, which was I think an excellent choice in terms of ease of getting it going and having a warranty was nice. However, the problem is it comes with the Edelbrock ram air gap intake, which is straightforward for the radiator and heater line connections but becomes a problem for the sensors. Without...

  2017 LX570 to GX550 Overtrail+?

  By prez1967

  Im searching but not finding a ton of feedback… Anyone coming from a 2016+ LC200 to a current GX550 Overtrail? The LX has been in our family since 2020 and weve covered ~130k miles in it. We also have a 2016 GX460 that has 140k miles on it (Dobinsons/ light overland build, currently overseas) Im debating putting the LX up for sale. Its still worth some $$ and maybe having a newer truck would be fun. Ive always preferred the more compact GX to the larger LX. I hear reports of more wind... Read more

  Is this Ambulance door fixable?

  By 4dmalamute

  I am not a welder so was wondering if this is something that is fixable or not worth it? In the middle of painting/working on a hardtop I purchased for my FJ40 and I knew one of the doors had rot...but I figure the price was right and I was going to salvage all the internal parts and window worse case. Do you think this is fixable? If so, any suggestions for a welder in the Sacramento area who might be able to fix this? Cheers.

  EFI system

  By rustyrunner

  Good morning everyone. I've been considering an EFI swap on my 68 roadrunner. Has anybody had any experience with the kill shot? They're running a big special right now. I've heard some negative things about the sniper system and even a couple about holley. I've never really been too big a holley fan anyways. I'm running a rebuilt 383 30 over with a very mild cam, hooker competition headers and still at this point stock intake. I have a Edelbrock Carter and I believe is about 600 CFM. I am... Read more
