I've installed a new dexter 3500# axel in my M416 and a Prodegy P2 in my 80 series. If I'm right, the brakes on the trailer should lock up easily as they're new, and I adjusted them slightly tight, but I barely get an assist from them. I get no error messages on the Prodegy, I've the power for...

I've a set of Motorsport-tech wheel adapters for a M416 to 6 on 5.5 Toyota pattern. I've used them for one trip, and have replaced the old axel for some electric brakes. Asking $150 plus shipping (they run $230-50 new.) No defects that I know of, as they were just highway'd up to and back from...

If you've done this mod, did you have to modify the factory aux tank fuel float, by extending the float shaft? Or did bolt on and go work just fine? I'm using George's ECM combined with all the other factory goodies. I wanna find out before stuffing it full of fuel, then finding I can only get...

Is there such a thing as "over braking" a trailer? I'm finally able to re axel my M416, as it's getting a little pudgy. I'd like to keep a 3" Dia axel for ease of installation, and a 5k# axel has this and a number of niceties that are available like self adjusting brakes and hand brakes in one...

I've been sitting on a Dyna Track built Dana 44 for years now with nothing to put it under. (14ish years?) It's never been used, 0 miles on it. It has an older style ARB locker and 4.10 gears in it. It's got the 3/4 ton bearings with a custom 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern. 60" hub face to face. I'm...

I've got it narrowed down to a shop here in the SFBay area, but dear dog the costs! Granted I'm having some while your in there stuff taken care of, one being new injectors at about.$1k, it's still looking like a $13.5k bill. $4200 for long block, add after that, water pump, timing chain and...

I'm checking with my local smog ref here in the sunny South Bay to see if this is even viable. What I would like to know is if anybody has any experience with this company or know somebody who does? They seem to be one of a few whome perform such swaps, and I'd like to have a fuzzy feeling in...

I picked this Cruiser up last Dec. and I'm finally to the point where addition and subtraction can now begin. I had the flare holes welded shut, and the sides Line-Xed. I'm awaiting a barrier from Speski, a center diff lock switch from Canada, ARB commercial Bull Bar, and OME low kit (thanks...

I'm looking into a dual settup for electrical goodies in my cruiser, and I wanted to know if IPOR was a good settup? Are there others with equal or better value? Thanks Mayne

Is there such an animal, and if so where might I locate one? Thanks Mayne

Other than the slee list to look for... Are the older Fzj80 motors typically oily and greasy on the bottom halves, or is that something that screams run away? Thank you for your time. Mayne

Well, I've owned ugly for years and have done nothing to it save for tires and maintanence... Until I bought a trailer tent for it. This winter is the start of the mod madness. 1 raise the bed walls at least 3" 2 new braked axles 3 air bag suspension 4 widen fenders 5 lengthen tongue. 6...

:coffee:I'm looking for some thoughts and suggestions for this. I'm pondering a solid axle air spring settup for my M416. I'm kicking around the idea of either fabbing up an entire new frame, or boxing the stress areas in my current frame. For trailing arms, I was thinking of using...

I've gone through great pains to keep my fridge high and dry. I've seen Campa trailers with fridges on the tongue, and read that the testing of ARB fridges were done in the weather, Yadda, yadda... Can theses e mounted on the outside of a trailer, say, on the tongue. Or exposed to rain... I...

Can this be done? Or is it verboten. I believe I've read that solar charging settups are being used, but I thought I read that charging the battery with the fridge hooked to said battery was not the best idea. Is this just the case while charging off a generator, or actual 110v charger? Any...

I'm deciding between a Springbar and a turbo tent. The Springbar is bar none reliable and following almost cult-ish for good reason. But I'd like to know the good, the bad, and the ugly on Turbo tents. I'll admit I'm getting lazy, but I don't want to spend time setting up a tent, and OzTents are...

I'm running an ARB 50q fridge off a 100ah batt and nothing else at the moment, and I get 72 hrs on a charge. I'm adding a second 100ah battery, and probably some led lights in the future. Will a 64watt solar system (ctsolar, or amsolar) work to keep me going for a week (7 to 10 days). And what...

I'm looking seriously at a set of Treadwright retreads to re shoe the Jeep. I've read the favorable imput on almost everywhere that I've searched. I wanted to nkow peoples experiance with them in the rain, as they are going on a DD. Thanks Mayne

Any name or other brand recomendations for 80/85 watt panels that seem to hold up well to travel. I want to spend the money here for a power generation for my batteries, and possible buy another simalar panel later. Mayne

Well as the title says... I like PIAA's product, but running them as off road lights in California requires a cover. Do they have covers for them? I've looked at their web site and found no concrete info. Thanks Mayne:safari-rig:
