    My Wandering Soul

    There was a good puddle in the hose and quite a bit in the throttle body. Definitely where his oil was going... The PCV wasn't completely stuck, but they are kind of finicky on the 1fz--it has to be working perfectly or they use oil.... #6 is the rearmost cylinder, but the HG usually fails at...

    4510 Public Defender for concealed

    Might be a good choice if you run into a lot of dogs and just want to pepper them a little. I don't see the attraction of the 410 when you can get 10 rounds of 45 acp in a similar sized package.

    My Wandering Soul

    I talked to Phil a little while ago on the phone. His oil consumption problem is mostly solved for now. He was able to put in over 400 miles without adding oil. We will see how it does in the long term, but I am optimistic. The PCV valve was the original at 18 years old and 250k. When I...

    My Wandering Soul

    Not a bad plan considering the circumstances. If it doesn't work out my offer stands... Curious to know what other issues the engine has that it needs to be put out its misery. I can fix the rough idle when cold and likely the tranny codes. Does it knock in the bottom end? Compression...

    Also, I am on my 3rd 80 series. I would be happy to go through your rig and tighten her up a little to make sure she doesn't give you any more problems. Give me a week and a little wrenching and we will have her purring like a kitten.

    My Wandering Soul

    If you have the time, I have a garage and all the tools you need if you want to tackle the valve guide seals. I am just over in Quantico--a short hop from Front Royal. I would also be willing to help when I am not working. I have an FSM for your rig and plenty of wrenching experience. I have...

    The 91-92s are better for most swaps.... The only downside is the Semi-floating rear axle(which you can swap out with a later full float)

    rubicon to landcruiser

    Weaker drivetrains? Elaborate please. The Dana 44 in the JK "might" be stronger than the IFS in the 100 series, but it is apples and oranges really.

    Meh, Those are a dime a dozen. I'll trade you an 04 Lemond Nevada city for it..... J/k, I would love to have one of those--I don't know the proce range, but I know it is more than I have to spend...

    Cue the animal extremists in 3...2...1.... I let my pup hang his head out the window as well, but there have been pretty heated discussions about whether you should do so. Supposedly a rock could be kicked up by the tires or a passing vehicle and hit the dog. If that happens, I will feel bad...

    Anti gun legislation

    Also the only tool mentioned that is specifically mentioned in the constitution. How do you define primary function? The thing that a tool is most used for? I would venture to say that in the US, MANY MANY more guns are used for target shooting than anything else, and that hunting comes in...

    Land Cruiser Questions

    I agree that the OP can't go wrong with either one. I will probably replace my 80 with a 100 in 10 years or so just for the extra shoulder belt. FWIW, I have had 3 80 series LC's all with over 170k, all with the original HG. I have not had any leaks, any overheating issues, or any axle issues...

    Anti gun legislation

    I'll bite here.... I agree that some of those affected by gun violence will want some kind of change. I agree that some of those affected by drunk drivers will want some kind of change. I agree that some of those affected by knife violence will want some kind of change. My best friend from...

    Preface all of that with: "In my extremely biased and narrow minded view" Please John, we all know how much you love your Hundy, but give it a rest. I am supposing that NONE of the hundys have any leaks or have ever overheated? cracking exhaust manifolds? CV joint failure? Oh, not to...

    suitability of M16 for Afghanistan

    A couple years back a guy in Wyoming was watching TV in his house when a truck left the freeway and crashed into his fence. One of the 4x4 fence posts came through the wall, through the couch and halfway through him. He lived with only moderate internal damage IIRC. (supposedly the blunt end...

    Anti gun legislation

    You make valid points except that the government is already dictating what is and is not taught in the public schools... What? I was hunting by myself at 12. I would venture to say that almost every 13 year old can responsibly handle a gun with a little training. Same for a car. Sure go...
