Re: the mir207 machine

Very sorry to hear about your affliction. I hear there's a lot of that going around. Great FJ!

Thanks. I view what I've got as being a set of "what I've got" descriptions (what they are and where they were bought) along with the why. What I don't have too much of here is recommendations on products that have worked really well or really poorly. I'll add more of that as usage comes along. I also don't have too much detail on how stuff has been done on the FJC - mainly because I've been lazy and haven't done much of it myself (mostly modified by Man-a-Fre). But I will try and get "how it was done" more incorporated in the future.

Well, I've got it crazy bad. I think either Air2Air or Sol might have gotten it first, but I have it way bad...

Re: the mir207 machine

The FJC is currently serving as the fitment test article for the Man A Fre auxiliary fuel tank. I'll add some stuff about this after the guys at MAF are happy with it and we have some offroad testing done...

Here's a link to Steve-o's post about the tank.

Re: the mir207 machine

I recently bought the Inchworm's rear e-locker guard and put it on myself. I noticed I had to remove a bolt from the locker for the guard to fit. The curved arm part of the guard was hitting the bolt and not fitting.Is this correct?Or could you find out?I'd be most appreciative.

ditto.

The fj really needs a crawl ratio at least double of what it has (yours has 5-6 times - awesome). Just too much braking/reving on technical descents/ascents. Good job. Alas, I must follow.

Yeah, one of the bolts has to come off to make the guard fit. I checked with Jim at Inchworm and this was the intent. So you're OK.

Yeah - it sucks the fun out of it at some point because you really can't focus as much on wheel placement because of trying to baby the engine into not stalling ALL THE TIME. This is maybe less of an issue with AT(?), but the ratios available on mine now make rock crawling a dream and means I'm now just articulation limited.
