    Willman's '85 FJ60 Land Cruiser

    Jeebus! I thought my 3FE had a ton of emissions stuff on it...this one takes the cake. Dunno about Cruisers, but spending a bit of time to pull the hodo off makes installing(removing) the head that much easier. Thsoe suckers are heavy enough as it is, might as well make it easier. GL with the...

    Back country adventures with kids...how do you do it?

    At 9.5 months old, we took our little girl on a 10 day camping trip through CA with us, and she absolutely loved it. She loved the food: Loved the vehicle: Since she wasnt walking, she was in the carrier a lot, but didnt mind it: And she took her first steps in Yosemite: Just plan extra...

    The Great White Buffalo

    Huh? The GWB has a 3FE...if anyone is in the way, they'll have plenty of time to move!

    El Rancho Aribabi Jaguar(s) Spotted!

    Sky Island Alliance's game cameras have captured a few photos of wild jaguars on El Rancho Aribabi! The story is here: http://www.azstarnet.com/news/science/environment/article_13e68a67-693a-5ddb-aeee-c1a34cd7cd40.html This is some great validation for all the conservation work that Carlos and...

    The Great White Buffalo

    Thank you. It isnt too difficult to take apart the door panels. The proper tools, and some extra clippy thingies and you'll be set. Nothing to it really. I thought about installing my HAM while the dash was apart, but the whole task had become tiresome and I wanted it back together. I just...

    The Great White Buffalo

    Well, like everything aftermarket, it doesnt fit the way stock items do. This time it was the Slee upgraded wiring harness. The directions are pretty straightforward, but unlike the claim that you can simply "flip the harness side to side" it doesnt work that way. Due to the location of the...

    Willman's '85 FJ60 Land Cruiser

    Heavens no! I'd love to hear the noise of a 4BT under my hood. Take into consideration the oil pan clearances as well. Something close to 4" of lift is needed to clear everything.

    Willman's '85 FJ60 Land Cruiser

    Uhh...two maybe?....and a number? Take a look at the FS ads of late for the 4BT converted vehicles. It is a noisy engine, so be forewarned.

    The Great White Buffalo

    So, unlike this picture: The control box actually has the plug in for the controller on the top. On the 80 series, with an ARB, this makes it impossible to access the plug. I opened up the control box and saw that it can be remounted per the photo. Spade bit, drill press, and I was cooking. I...

    Opinions needed from the TLC Guru's

    Well, going on a year now with my 1991. From sea level to 7000' here in Flagstaff and I dont mind the slow. It is beneficial that I don't deal with emissions either. I say buy whatever you can afford.

    Opinions needed from the TLC Guru's

    Coming from someone that owns a 1991... I won't trade my 3FE for a finicky 4.5. Sure, it is slow, but with the way I drive, I don't care. Gas mileage is bad with either engine; on long trips though, I've been able to get 18mpg with a fully loaded cruiser at 60mph. The drum brake thing isnt an...

    Pulley Block and Shackles for a 10,000# Winch

    Well, that muddied the water a bit. I've checked on MUD too, to no avail. More searching and reading to do.

    Pulley Block and Shackles for a 10,000# Winch

    With the recent addition of an ARB bumper, and the soon-to-happen addition of a 10k winch to my 80, I'm putting together a more comprehensive recovery kit. I've been through the Overland Journal Summer 2009 article on kits a few times, but am still a bit unclear as to what my equipment should...

    The Great White Buffalo

    I am absolutely amazed by the high level of fit and finish on the ARB and on the Cruiser. I did not have to mickey with any bolt, everything line up and fit like a glove. Step 1 complete. I need to get some spacers made for the winch, but that shouldnt take long. That bumper is so cavernous...
