Jackass 55 Chronicles
By Owyhee Jackass
I hope to get my 55 in a bit better shape over the summer. Figure I'll document my glacial progress here. I've owned it for 20 years, bought it off a dealer lot here in Boise in 1999. Here's a pic from 15 years ago or so. I should add, it's a 10/72, 1973 with a 4 spd swapped in, original F, electronic ignition, later axles (disc. front) and mini truck power steering.

Starlink Mount
By dbsb3233
My plan to use my Starlink Mini suction cupped to the inside of the 2nd row window didn't work very well. When I tested it for a few minutes around home it seemed to work fine, so I thought that would suffice. But I just got home from a 2-week road trip and it's clear that that isn't a good enough for a consistent signal. In clear skies, it would only stay connected for a few minutes, then disconnect and reconnect every minute or two. Then in another stretch through Utah where there was... Read more

Remote functions stopped working - car shows error that it’s in drive ready state

Thoughts on Upgrades to my 65 Barracuda
By Roadhunter
I am in the process of removing the engine and transmission and wanted some ideas to make some improvements while I have it apart. I was thinking of maybe Borgeson manual steering box. A mini starter so I can actually remove it if necessary without having to remove the headers. Maybe paint the engine bay body colours instead of black that the previous builder did. Thanks

Starter ID question
By 69SuperBee451
A while back I picked up a clean 2875560 starter for cheap. It is in good working condition, but I was wondering if there was a way to determine if it is still a 3+ shunt style, or a 4 coil style. I know it was originally a shunt style, but after 55 years, I’m sure it has been rebuilt at some point. Wanting to use it on my 400/451, and no I WILL NOT USE A MINI STARTER. I absolutely HATE the sound of them. Any way to know what this is without completely pulling it apart?

R151F input shaft lengths, & 5th gear versions compatibility for R452 OD swap?
By Chuck78
I was wondering if the 70 series Cruiser R151F gearbox input shaft lengths were longer in more recent years vs the 1985 or 1986 thru mid 1990's models? I knew on the R150 & R151 USA model mini trucks 86-95, versus the 96+ Tacoma R150's, that the 86-95 had a shorter input shaft @ around 6.5", and that the Tacoma era R150 had a 1" or so longer input shaft @ 7.5". The only mini truck R151F models where on the 86-87 22RTE turbo 4cyl pickup trucks, and they definitely had the 6.5" input shaft... Read more

How good is access to cooler/fridge on a drawer system? Any real-world examples of how accessible your cooler is on an ARB Drawer System or similar?
By Maximus924
Hi all, I have spent hours searching different drawer system photos regarding fridges or coolers. 90% of these photos are just glamor shots of the fridge sitting inside the rig all tucked away on the drawer system. I just picked up a used ARB drawer system in the classifieds (thanks!) with the drawer slide, but its so high I don't know how accessible it would be if I bought a fridge. I see there's now a mini-revolution of slide/tilt brackets to angle the fridge down a little, as my setup... Read more

Through out this thread I will point out stuff we found that may help other who use BAT to avoid such a costly mistake. 1st being do not buy anything where they use painters tape on the mass air flow . ...

Head Unit Software Update (Oct-Nov 2026)
By noremacnova
I just received an OTA update on 10-17-2026 that doesn't seem to do much or any value. According to Genesis, the "2026 November Software Update" (note the date difference with the OTA date) consists of: 1. Map Update (2023-2026 GV60's, et al) 2. Apply Spotify (2026 GV60) 3. Amazon Alexa (2026 GV60) 4. Applying QR Code to connect Hotspot (2023-2025 GV60s) [ed. A little mini-rant: So Genesis has its software update engineers working on this stuff ? Other than the map update... Read more
