I definitely wouldn’t say alter geometry. Keep stock height & travel for her rig for sure. But look into the Icon option ls before you buy. Icon to Toyota is like Carol Shelby was to Ford. The engineers from TRD (Toyota Racing Development- actual Toyota engineers) then joined with...

You might look into the Icon suspension. The FJ we bought from the original owner, he installed it front & rear. It is an amazing difference compared to other FJs.

Maybe someone will leave toyota parts in one of the treasure boxes?! 😂

Thanks Chris. I just realized in post #4 the picture I posted that has the picture. In the picture is some texting notes that didn’t all come through. Please ignore them- it is misleading how it shows up in the pic.

Sorry, I forgot the stock part number of M255294S This is what came stock in all the piston oil squirter blocks. The M255HV294S is the one that is 10% more volume and a higher pressure spring. SO THERE IS 3 OPTIONS 6.2 and non squirter 6.5 with squirter 6.5 with squirter high volume & higher...

Ok, got off phone with Brian in the Melling Tech Support. They still only offer the two pumps, standard and HV. Then the different pickup tubes for the 2 different pan. He said: gear end play spec is 0.004-0.008 Gear : housing side is 0.002-0.005 Tighter the better for increased efficiency &...

Also while I’m thinking about it- Im hoping someone makes a steel retainer piece on the oil pump drives like they do for sbc, bbc oil pump drives. Does anyone know any secrets like if one of those, a ford, etc will work? Our lifters btw are same a some fords. Whats gonna happen at some...

Any info on what brand, part number, or who makes it or sales it? So far Summit & Jegs say no, just these two. It’s important for buyers to knkw the difference on non squirters vs with because the sales people at both didn’t understand the difference- they just say normal or hv and don’t...

I can see Paveltolz buying a 5 stick pack of gum every Monday at 7-11 with a $100 bill and the clerk sighs “all $5 change again sir?” Haha. Awesome man. @Big T heck yeah she needs that picture, you go & take the picture of her holding her dog under the sign. Goofy trips just for the fun of it...

If all the windows fail, I would suspect either the relay or the switches. A hair dryer could help the diagnostics

I looked, but am bad at finding old posts. It has been too many years since I was modifying these oil pumps. I know the stuff about die grinder work on the ports for under the 4wd adapter/ and the block itself getting the port edges smooth & rounded over. But I can’t remember or find my...

Ok, last kick on a dead horse. One of the guys sent me this link & said “He sounds like what you’re saying.” No- this guy is a pro, I’m a mechanic that learned from guys like him. He did the oil stuff for his dad’s race team (Joe Gibbs) and now works for Total Seal who is the best ring...

Oh yeah- look into what happens with using engine oil flushes that remove too much at once. Thats the effect you get from really high carbon counts and really high moly. The moly absorbs the carbon and becomes grease like. Getting some is ok, getting the right amount is great. Getting just a...

A lot of us used to run Marvel- me included. It wasn’t until the actual testing was done that reality became known from advertising & speculation. Zddp up to 1800ppm can be helpful. Over 2200ppm it starts doing damage. But depending what other chemicals are in the oil being used besides the...

No. Buy better oil but don’t play chemist yourself. Often people make problems chemically that weren’t there before. Very few oil additions have been third party tested. One of the best is for simple cylinder wall wear correction that didn’t have negative side affects for most engines to...

The egt is what leads to cracks - it isn’t that all the metal starts melting down. I remember talking to Bill Heath one time asking how far he would drive at sustained 1100, he said “To the moon.” Haha. We know lower egt is better, higher egt, especially sustained is where we get the cracks in...

It’s nice to still see some that are. Hopefully we see more of it soon

Out here we used to donit to the db2 & db4 pumps- but also had those horrible square box fuel filters that would often leak. So changing that to a spin on canister that had 1/2” we reduced to 3/8 was common. And it’s just a regular barb fitting for the db pumps so it was easy. Many of the guys...

If I’m not mistaken, Tim’s also the one to start the FTB mod on ds4 & ffm as well as coined the phrase.
