1993 FZJ80 Land Cruiser. Norcold MRFT-460. It looks like this: I also got a sliding tray with it. What I need to do is figure which side of the cargo area to mount it. As you can see, the lid is hinged in such a way that the compressor unit is on the right as you are facing the cooler. So...

I'm working on a 2001 Galant for a girlfriend of my wife's. Here's where I'm at: Troubleshot it to the fuel pump. There is power to the pump, but no pressure. I went to Checker for a new pump and it is only the pump motor itself, usually not a problem. I took the old pump out of the vehicle...

I got off work today around 2:30 and proceeded to work on my co-worker's 2000 Wrangler. He told me the brakes were grinding and that he bought pads and rotors and asked me to put them on for him. I had done a little research of the torques and was surprised to find that the caliper bolts are...

Arizona Game & Fish "PHOENIX — The Arizona Game and Fish Department is inviting those that love the scenic outdoors to join in on a weekend desert expo camp out and cleanup effort on Feb. 6-8, approximately 20 miles west of Wickenburg, Ariz." :safari-rig: Dave

A buddy at work got hit in his '04 Disco the other day, ruining the rear bumper. It sounds like he will be getting north of 2k for repairs. He is thinking of getting the body work only done and adding a nice, basic rear bumper and an ARB type bumper up front. What is out there for these...

With a family of 5, it would be nice to run an Engel 35 (or equivalent) as a freezer and an Engel 45 (or equivalent) as a fridge. Anyone here run a multiple fridge set up or have you seen any? Dave

I'm gearing up to build some rear carriers for our 62 and 80 series Land Cruisers. Do those of you with tires on the back have visibility issues if they are toward the passenger side or center? I would think that behind the driver would be best, but I would like to gather as much input as...

Be it a rack, cargo box, or bungees and the factory rack. How do you load up? Me? I have a Yakima Rocket box and a Basket Case that I use with 2 load bars. The box usually gets clothes, sleeping bags, pillows and a few folding chairs. The basket may get fuel, water, or a Action Packer with...

Wife's 1988 FJ62. I put some new 31-10.50-15 BFG AT/KOs on it when we got it earlier this year with the black wagon wheels. I now also have a set of 6 of the factory chrome wheels. There is a guy at work that is selling me a set of 4 studded Cooper Discoverer S/Ts in 31-10.50-15 that are on...

Our camping stove is a 1973 Coleman 426D 3 burner that uses Coleman fuel. Before I went hunting last month, I did a normal test run prior to packing up. I got to camp and used in that night to cook my supper. In the morning, it was a real bear to start. It was 27*F and the yellow flame lasted...

What shocks are you guys using with a SOA M416? Dave

I was looking at a 99 4Runner for a friend, and to me, it looks like something belongs in the compartment in the cargo area on the passenger side. There are straps, but nothing in there. Tool kit? What should we look closely at in regards to potential problems? Thanks, Dave

I came across a 1600 and a couple 1650s with wheels. What sort of gear do you typically keep in there? I was thinking of keeping my shop manuals and electrical testing and repair tools in the 1600. Stuff that really needs to stay dry and dust free, It is unused with a complete foam kit. The...

Were they right or left driver dependent on the country the specific team was representing or the country they were competing in? For example. If the race was in a RHD country, were all the trucks RHD or were the US and other LHD country's competitors vehicles LHD? Dave

Will an Engel 45 (ARB, Norcold) fit behind the third row seats in an 80? If so, do you have pics? I don't have the fridge yet, but I'm looking at mounting options. I also thought I've heard about a hinge relocation kit to have it open from the side. Thanks, Dave

1988 FJ62 Option A or Option B? The springs are on the way already, I just don't know if I should also go reversal with longer rear shackles or not. Thanks,

I'm looking at buying a 97 Trooper from a buddy. What common issues are there for me to look for? It is a V6, automatic, cloth, PW/PL, sunroof. Is there a good aftermarket for these? (ARB, Safari Snorkel, gearing options, etc). Would this make a good first car for one of my twin daughters...

Where might I find 6 lug hubs and drums to fit my M416? Dave

Looking for a FJ62 rear third member, preferably with the stock gears. I may entertain housings only. :safari-rig:

I figured I'd start a build up thread for the wife's 62. The Beginning: Came with some "Maypop" 33s, studded no less. In May. Mod 1: BGF AT/KO in a 31/10.50-15 flavor. Pretty good shape for a 20 year old car. I have a set of OME Dakar springs and a Mile Marker 9K winch coming. I hope...
