I ended up with two new sets of 12 point sockets from Amazon to get it
done. One long and one short.
The dodgiest part is jacking the LCA up to compress the spring. Be sure
that you are not under it if the jack tips over. It has o e too many

Converting gas to diesel is not trivial. All you wiring will need to be

all wiring from a diesel sedan. At that point you might as well put a 606
in, and if you are doing that, maybe just go one better and drop a salvage

Yes the little suction fan is under the passenger side of the dash and the
tube runs up the A pillar and across. Apparently they disintegrate over
time. My little fan honked like a goose, but that noise was from under the
dash. If it is coming from the visor area it must be a suction phenomenon

Attractions are as follows:
1. Better resale than any car pretty much
2. 5000lbs
3. Pretty durable. Lots of guys driving them hundreds of thousands of
miles. Except the rust factor.
4. Can tow and offroad with the best; 3 diff locks.
5. Pretty good on the highway. Nothing steers like a solid front

My point precisely. If you think the Grand Canyon is forbidding, remote or
unimproved, you need to recalibrate your definitions of those terms. If a
bunch of Bedouin with no formal mechanical training can run these things in

There is absolutely nothing wrong with a hilux, unless the bat fj40 crowd
has discovered them. Lightweight, simple, efficient, easily maintained,
durable. It was the unofficial vehicle for pretty much all the Bedouin in
Saudi in the 70s, except the bootleggers who drove GMC pickups with marine

If anyone wants a set of 5 14" Fuchs bundts, I have a set at the
