    An LX. 84. With the Cruisers, the number is the descriptor, not the letters as with the CJ. The 40 came as a an FJ40, FJ43, FJ45. But the diesel was the BJ40, BJ42 BJ45 and BJ46. Also the HJ45 and HJ47 for the 6 cyl diesel. Toyota came out with the FJ Cruiser and Americans rediscovered the 40...

    Hello guys, Yes, she gone. I told the new owner about CJ-8.com. He's a great guy, I'm sure we will see him here. My wife had open heart surgery in January. She was never a fan of the 8 ever, but since the surgery she struggles to get in and out and doesn't really like the ride because it...

    My Yuppie Jeep

    I can live with angry eyes when they have a purpose. In this case I like it a lot. On a TJ with a Millennial's sleeved arm sticking out the window and a bunch of cross fit stickers on the back window... not as much.

    1981 Forest service Scrambler.

    'National Forest Scrambler' in their font would be a cool one which would cause numerous double takes.

    DOJO's 1st OCHO

    One is still smoking hot and one looks like the Michelin Man. That's a straight up 2020s reference.

    DOJO's 1st OCHO

    Bear in mind though in reference to the picture of George's @gpassida Kayline above: just like the same bikini will look far better on Jennifer Aniston than it does on Whoopi Goldburgh.... your results may not be as striking.

    Pappy's Adventure - 1981 restomod

    You'll love that Sniper. I tried the FiTech first and it was evil. Sniper was totally trouble-free and it just gets better over the first couple weeks as it 'learns'. You'll love throttle response too. Holey in tank pump is great too. Hardest part is getting all the high pressure fuel lines...

    I would worry about the pump cavitating if it sits too long and the fluid drains back down to the reservoir. Maybe if you could run both lines higher than the pump before dropping to the reservoir it would act as a barrier to the fluid draining out of the pump itself. Or perhaps an anti-backflow...

    I've got the 3.0 Duramax in both my Silverado and my Wife's Tahoe. Both are 4wd. My wife's tahoe averaged 32 mpg to Asheville and back. My truck has averaged 26 mpg over the last 67000 miles. Overall not too badfor a loaded, long bed 4wd with 3" lift. Towing our 26' camper to Cape Cod and...

    The government taxes diesel much higher in both refining and at the pump. Because diesel has higher BTUs than petrol it is more efficient. Therefore it yields less taxes per mile than petrol (because you use less) so in order to get an equivalent amount of taxes per mile they tax it more...

    I hear you. With my new 351W my needle goes from F to E so fast it stirs up dust in the gauge.

    I think he should thank you for bringing your 8 in there. It completes the shop perfectly.
