Well it's been awhile since I've done anything with the cruiser, but I did buy a 63qt ARB fridge several days ago. I have been wanting and needing to build drawers for quite some time, but I've never gotten around to it and I figured having a fridge sit in my living room would force me to build...

Thanks! It surprised me to see someone asking if I wanted to be in a magazine. I have never been contacted about anything like that. Good eye! I had a turquoise one and now I'm onto a black and raw carbon sb66.

Last Friday I went ahead and replaced the brake booster again. It had a warranty and I figured why not. It now stops much better. The previous booster didn't have a very progressive feel as I pushed the pedal down, but this new one feels like it should. It still doesn't have a whole lot of...

In the on going saga of getting the brakes to perform better, the master cyclinder was replaced along with the rear brake shoes. The rear brake drums were also turned. It has a little more bite, but still not as much as desired. I've read about people having no problem locking up 37s on 91-92...

Thanks you guys! I actually put it on a scale not too long ago and it was right around 6600 without anyone and without the tent on it. I bet it weighed well over 7000lbs on my 2 week trip. Yeah mine also has some pretty noticeable body roll. Especially with the tent on the roof. I am running the...

Just got back late last night after another week on the road. 3500 problem free miles through Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, and Nebraska. We started out by driving 14 hours to Laramie, Wyoming. The next morning we set out for Jackson Hole and spent 4 days there. We went up...

Yesterday I have the brakes a much needed upgrade to help combat the loaded weight of my 80. Stoptech FZJ sized slotted rotors. Powerstop 100 series pads I trimmed down the back plates so they would fit with the larger rotors. I took a small hand held grinder to the pads to make...

I've never worried about the high mileage even when leaving for large trips. I also daily drive it which definitely helps it's overall condition. Parts aren't drying out and everything sees enough use to keep it working and if an issue shows up, it's dealt with so things don't snowball...

I appreciate. You can't go wrong with an 80 series! It definitely was and now I'm prepping to head out to Wyoming. I appreciate it! Good luck with your 62 and 80! Yesterday I went to mounting up my new Tredpros. I got in on the Kickstarter so they were hard to pass on when considering the...

With Telluride literally in the dust (it never rained on us during our two week trip except for the morning of the very last day), we drove through Ouray and saw a couple of companies there early for the FJ Summit. Those who know, know of the Super Secret Road that overlooks Black Bear Pass and...

The next morning we cooked a huge breakfast consisting of eggs, bacon, and toast and set out for a hike. The ski runs seen far away in the distance make up most of the runs at Breckenridge. The cruiser is down on the left in the yellow dirt spot. Once we finished our hike, we packed up and set...

I just arrived home after being on the road for two weeks and living out of the cruiser with a couple of friends. I drove roughly 3000 miles through Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado, and New Mexico and never once had to open a tool bag to work on the cruiser. Time to change the oil, upgrade the front...

It's been awhile since I updated the thread, but I haven't done much to the cruiser lately. I've just been building swing out kits and prepping for a Colorado trip. I went out to the Lil Sahara Sand Dunes in mid May and camped for a night. We were there during some activity and there must have...

It must be for the big bus transmission behind the 3FE. The only thing we have added in that area in terms of cooling is the electric fan.

As far as I know it is factory.

Update on the cruiser: The RTT is back on and I'm hoping to make it out to Arkansas for a weekend in the near future. I also had the windshield replaced today. I started getting a little bit of water leaking in from the top last summer in Colorado. I was thinking it was going to be rusty up...

My dad actually installed them. He was the first to do it on an 80. Here's his thread on them. I believe someone else did a more comprehensive thread but I can't remember what it was called or who it was by. http://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/grand-prix-gtp-hood-vents-installed.294227/

Thanks!

I daily drive my 1992. I'm determined to see the original 3FE hit at least 750k miles. I'm over half way there.

Thanks! Small world, I have some family in Ada and go down there every now and then. Aside from the poly body mount bushings (which I really hate and want to replace), all bushings are OEM Toyota. My dad and I pressed out all the old ones and put in new ones when we did the lift along with...
