O.k., my '76 FJ55 keeps building pressure in the fuel tank. Everytime I take the filler cap off, I have to crack it a little and let all the pressure hiss out slowly. I have had it projectile vomit several pints of gas onto me once or twice, when...

O.K., I really like the way those roof flashing kick panel speaker mounts look, but I think I better start with a radio or something first.
I would like a cd player, but they all seem to be to wide for the dash, and I don't want to cut it out.
Ha...

After a decade of downtime this pig is back in the dirt under it's own power.. The power steering is sick...Having two heaters are awseome! The only complaints I have are: long steep grades at 6K+ Feet = 20-30mph max, and the noise level at 60mph...

The transfer case on my '76 FJ55 makes a slight(and not always constant) ringing/jingling sound. Wiggling the transfer shifter will make it stop, just not for very long usually. It's not a horrible sound, but fairly irritating. I know the front o...
