    NOVA--CO2 tank for sale SOLD!

    Sold! Hi Folks, I have been meaning to put this together for awhile but decided to stick with the on board compressor. I don't know the size or weight, or what parts are useable for a vehicle setup, just that it says to fill with CO2 and it is rated to 1800 psi. Please feel free to pm me with...

    ARB drawer system or other ideas for 100 series?

    Why not get a set of AO style drawers and tie them down with a ratchet strap? No drilling, no cutting, no cursing. Total installation time--10m (or less). Total removal time 5m.

    305s VS 315s

    305s are the same OD as the 285s just wider. You should see a bit better economy and the truck should feel a little faster. As far as off road goes, unless you are doing hard core stuff, it won't matter, but if you are, 3/4" is the difference between driving over a rock and sticking your diff...

    I found that pulling the starter saves a lot of time, but YMMV.

    Laser/Light Combo

    Lasers can be useful tools, but tend to foster bad habits. If you must have one, become very proficient first and then start practicing with the laser. Once you are comfortable, take it off and make sure that you can still do everything you need to without the laser. I'll disagree that a...

    Valve adjustment on fzj80?

    It gets plenty hot here in N. VA--not desert hot--but I don't have any issues. I saw several 1fz powered 80s in Kuwait that seemed to handle the high temps, but I don't know what gas they were running.

    ??? Restored Land Cruiser 80 Series Interest???

    If a low mileage original is only going for 15-20k, there is no way you are going to get people to pay 60k. Now, if at that price point, you offered a diesel engine and manual trans, then maybe. Or, if you offered it with a turbo or some other means of getting significantly better mileage.

    Valve adjustment on fzj80?

    By the time you pay for shipping it is about three bucks. I have done 4 of them so far, so I can do it in under an hour, but working quickly, a complete newb could get it done in under 3 hours.....

    Valve adjustment on fzj80?

    If you have not modded your temperature gauge, it will never read higher than that until you have practically toasted the engine.... 3 bucks worth of parts and a good hour of work will get you a functioning temp gauge...

    Maybe remove the 2nd row permanently and just put the boys in the third row. The mattress *might* fit with them folded up, but they are much easier to remove.....

    Big Black

    FYI, Some of the trim pieces may be hard to get on with the extra thickness-- you just have to work at it a bit more. The only things I can't get to hold well is the plastic steps under the edges of the second row... Other than that, I love the dynamat...

    What would you get?

    For 9500 you can get a pretty low mile 80 series or a high mileage hundy...(at least here in VA) The hundy will treat you a little nicer with maintenance and road manners, but you will also suffer from more expensive parts and premium fuel (for the 100s that are in your range)

    Can't access that at work, but american rifleman did a 12k test on the SR9 when it came out. The only malfunction occured when their glove got caught in the slide. (the gun got too hot to hold without welding gloves...)
