  1963 FJ45LP Project

  By miller

  Picked this truck up in Montana. Its been a couple weeks, but tearing it apart pretty quick so thought I would start this build. My Dad and I drove his 6.4l Hemi Ram from WI to Helena MT to get this rig. Drove through Yellowstone on way home. What a great park! Truck is mostly complete. Rear bed needs work so that's where I’m going to start. Cab in pretty good shape. Needs rocker repairs and some box work behind main floor. Metal roof dented and gas some oil canning, but not rusted... Read more

  Making Ashram, a new phone mount replacing the ashtray in the 100-series

  By ericanand

  Ashram is a drop-in replacement for the 100-series ashtray with a 2-hole AMPS mount compatible with RAM diamond-shaped ball mounts. You just take out the ash tray and slide this in until it clicks. To remove it, press the button and pull it out. No disassembly. Fully reversible. Install or remove in a couple seconds. This solves a real problem I have with my Land Cruiser – where to mount a phone that's not in the way. I also make an AHC button / coin tray... Read more

  Anyone with shop space or place to park while working on vehicle?

  By hisandhers80s

  I am new to the Dallas Area. We have rented a house in Forney while we figure out where we want to live. The land lord as well as the HOA says we cannot work on vehicles outside of the garage. While my 1994 FZJ 80 barely fits height wise in the garage, my new tow vehicle, 2021 Ram 2500 does not fit. I have a bunch of upgrades to do including a Hamilton cam upgrade and I need a place that I can park the truck and work on it for the next 4-6 weekends. It does not matter if the space is...

  MagSafe Phone Mount

  By GrouchyTech

  The 2016+ has some good phone/device mount options, such as Rockform’s mount, but not so much for the earlier years. So, I rigged this up the other day. I disassembled part of a Spigen One Tap charger mount (it’s about 2 years old, may be discontinued) and mounted that to a RAM 5” slotted rail with a RAM knob and all of that is carefully bolted to the center speaker grille. It’s nice and solid, puts the phone in the right spot, and looks fairly unobtrusive especially from the diver’s seat... Read more

  LS Swap

  By America

  I have an 1987 FJ60 with a 6.0 LS swap with 6L80 trans. Engine cooling temps are running around 210-215 degree's with ram air going down the hwy at 65-70 mph. I have done the following: 1. Advanced Adapters radiator with trans cooler, 17" 2,400 CFM electric fan that runs constantly (shrouded to pull as efficiently as possible) 2. Heat sheilds on everything except the manifolds 3. I raised the back of the hood 1/2" for hot air to flow out 4. Synthetic fluids for engine and trans 5... Read more
