Awesome vid dude!

I didn't know you had chubby's too, I want em how do you like them? Front and back needed or just front?

I gotta get out there and do that obstacle soon!

Wes
Thanks Wes.
Yep chubby's front and rear for me. I love them they are just what I need with my fast driving style. I know Mir just got the fronts I think might have been rears can't remember off the top of my head. Hard to say what one to get if you just get the front or rear. I want to say rear first to help keep the bucking down but the front will help keep the wheels out of the fenders. I say get them both.

Re: Jeshua's FJ Build up

Just picked up the FJ from the dealer. She is know ready for Death Valley now i just need to get ready. I am so glad to have her back, she is way better then that Nissan I had for a rental.
  1. FJ got a new alignment and is driving straight and true.
  2. New idler bearing under warranty, (top right one came apart) she is nice and quite now, no more whinnying from my girl.
  3. Low lock switch replaced under warranty, I can now use A-trac again if I want to.
  4. new front output shaft seal replaced under warranty. Front output shaft was leaking from transfer case didn't even know about this one so that was nice of the dealer to do.

Thumbs up Re: Jeshua's FJ Build up

Jeshua,

You posted once looking for ideas on how to put a touchscreen in the dash for a car PC. Did you ever come up with a solution?

I found this guy who was able to do one. Mine is the 1st article, so it is rough, so I will do a little fab work to fill the gaps.

Here are the result pics.

Cheers.

yes and no, the screen I have is just to big. and a 7" wide screen isn't any better. To get my screen to fit in the dash I would have to move the AC controls and I really don't want to do that. The new idea is to mount it in place of the rear view mirror. i will have a great view of it easy to reach and no sun light issues with it up that high. The only draw back is the high viability of it from the out side.

What screen are you using for your system, size and res.? I am guessing its the one from that site you linked. Thanks for the links though I will take a closer look at that guys site tomorrow.

Re: Jeshua's FJ Build up

I have video (not the greatest but I have it) of Jeshua's run up Hell's Gate. It's too large to load. Even after I butcher it. I'll try to get it ironed out and post it up. I have video from my cabin of a very smooth run up Hell's Gate just prior to Jeshua's little adventure as well.

Getting into Hell's Gate is a fun little obstacle as well. That puckered me almost more than the Gate itself. I don't know about going down it. It's one way for a reason.

Ollie try uploading it to Vimeo if that doesn't work burn it to a disc and I will try and compress it with adobe. I am sure my raw video was much larger then yours so i am sure we could get yours small enough to upload.
