Alll the heads of the bolts are now rusty after going to sand lake twice in a row and rubbing on rocks and stumps for several years. I've been fortunate and have never had to remove these beadlocks. When I anti-seized them a while back I did one bolt at a time. wow! beadlocks are a pain...can't...

Thanks! Are those typically at most hardware stores (good ones) or do I need to go to a specialty bolt store like valley nut and bolt (south of tumwater) or tacoma screw/fastenal etc?

(Other than a liberal amount of antiseize) what type of bolt works good with aluminum beadlocks? stainless? ps I've had mine in for six years. Pulled them once to put antiseize on them but the heads are getting pretty rusty cause they are just grade 5 standard steel bolts. Is stainless ok to...

Outboarding the springs means more sidehill stability (good at rimrock) but less articulation. Up to you which one means more to you.

Talk to Bill, one of your FJ40 neighbors. Lives up the hill behind town. As to your Q: The knuckles should be the same, unless your going from drum to disc. I know some '75s had drums. Most had disc though. I wouldn't bother with lower cruiser gears. ALot of money and not that much of a lower...

Got any pics? Here's what my neighbor down the street uses:redneck: Cracked concrete blocks and log chunks...can't get much worse.

WD40 soaked rag over the intake works also. Seen it work on a friends 1990 nonturbo ford 7.3...and on his 1980 6.9?liter

Maybe while learning to steer they can push some of the junkers further into the bushes:redneck: , level a few trees, sheds and whatever gets in their way:D

At least ya can't get a ticket for reckless driving on your own property:awesomework: Hmmm...I seem to recall someone coughfullywreckedcough driving on top of geo prizms in their yard, doing donuts in the ditch, and almost rolling their rig pulling into their driveway. Who...

Get some new wheeling pics. I've seen a minivan go through that "ditch"!:fawkdancesmiley: PS My camera does vid clips as well...need a photographer? Is your back feeling good enough for a driveway jump with the new rig? I think you could get 4' of air this time:awesomework:

At least it will blend in with the yard so it won't look like you have more vehicles:redneck:

So what is different...the cam? Any structural differences? From an initial internet search it appears that if you mention the word "boat" the price about doubles for no other reason:awesomework: Sorta like buying the old headlight lense for a bug and a porsche. Same part but porsche one...

Just a clarification for ya...89.5 to 94ish are 3rd generation. If you want measurements or pics of mine let me know.

Buddies 1 year old boat engine got a cracked block from not draining it this winter. The boat place told him "about $8000" to fix it:kissmyass: Seems that the "marine" and automotive engines have different price brackets but I can't seem to see ANY difference in them. Is there a difference? He...

Didn't get a single chance today to mess with it. However, yes I remember a quadrajet...wait, my quadrajet has a idle up solenoid that I wired to come on with my air compressor. Now I know what I'm looking for:beer:

Possibly ignorant Q: Do carbureted vehicles have an IAC? This car is not fuel injected.

I went and looked at the fuse box...couldn't find anything burned or melted in/around it. Thanks for the tips. I'll check em out tomorrow.:beer:

This is my econobox commuter. ('85 honda) Just started this week. Car runs and idles fine until you turn any of the following by themselves: the fan, the headlights, the rear defrost, the aftermarket running lights. Then the idle drops REALLY low and gets a bit erratic (all below idle speed)...

To see if the relay is bad you can connect the two big posts with jumper cables. If the rig starts then you know the solenoid is bad. Also if you measure the voltage at both posts when it is activated (about 30seconds to 2 minutes depending on temps) and the voltage is different between the...

That's funny...I broke several front leaf springs until I reversed the shackles. Haven't broken one since I did that 7 years ago. everytime I'd hit an obstacle hard or a ledge or stump I'd bend a spring. The clearance was horrible too...hit or drug on just about everything.
