Steve Hope replied to kevin melder's discussion 1974 FJ 40 renovation project"If you are interested in doing restoration work yourself then learning how to do a compression test ought to be top of the list. It is very easy to do and you will learn both the dry and wet test and have instant news on your cylinders/rings/pistons…"
Steve Hope replied to Steve Hope's discussion Welcome to new members"There is a gate that the Forest Service lock for most of the winter. That gate is at the Silver Fork Road entrance. I bet they have another gate at the other end too. That other end comes in from Mormon Emmigrant trail and heads up via Caples Creek…"
Back in Black (FJ4 Tahoe) replied to Steve Hope's discussion Welcome to new members"Hey Steve, I hope all is well with you and Conor, Do you know if the Long Canyon trail is open during the snow season? I'd like to snow wheel the trail when I get my FJ back next month. Thanks, John"

Steve Hope replied to Steve Hope's discussion Good time of year for mods."They don't have a skid to fit a diff drop."
Zaku65 replied to Steve Hope's discussion Good time of year for mods."Any reason you are not looking at Ricochet? It sounds like you already got their a arm skids. I believe they have a bumper filler to match your ARB bull bar also."
Steve Hope replied to Steve Hope's discussion Good time of year for mods."Thanks for that. I suspected the cut-outs would be small. I think I would take them into work and hole-saw larger openings especially for my cartridge filter, and add flush covers with flat-head screws. Already have a Boztec diff skid and Ricochet…"
Zaku65 replied to Steve Hope's discussion Good time of year for mods."If you are going with steel skids then Budbuilt is probably the way to go. RCI skids in aluminum is what I have and I love them. There is a picture of them installed on Nestor's Instagram page 8 boxes down (left to right). You probably…"
Steve Hope replied to Steve Hope's discussion Good time of year for mods."nice ,thanks. I am not in rough terrain so I don't think I really need 200 lbs hanging underneath me. I do think they are quality parts. For how I drive off road I think I can get by with 1/8 inch ( 10 ga ) from ARB and that price is a good…"
Maximus (Max) replied to Steve Hope's discussion Good time of year for mods."I have ricochet under most of my truck and have been very happy with them over the years.

- Hey Steve I have the same 2012 SE TT FJ. Can you send me or post photos with your black ARB bumpers? I’m considering them both front and back for my rig. Do you recommend them?
