Subject: "Twister" Truck
Remember back a couple of weeks ago, we were discussing what year the
truck in the movie "Twister" is? I believe it's gotta be a '79, because
it's got the square headlights, and the old style roof. Yep, I actually
blew up a still of the movie to see...
Speaking of the movie "Twister", it's now linked off the IFSJA site...
even have a movie clip... a clip of the J-truck going down the drainage
ditch towards the bridge, with the tornado wiping out the barn in the
background.
Hope y'all had a nice weekend. Has ANYBODY had a winter this year, after
the big December/January storms? It's been in the high 80s here in
Borelando for over a week, with no end in sight... good thing both the
house and Timex have superb A/C... oh, boy, I just can't wait to see what
this summer's gonna be like... right, Tom? (Collins, in Tampa)

No, no.... it is indeed possible for it to happen, but the idea is to
inspect everything and be prepared in case it does happen. I don't have
any problem with water in anything on Timex, used to with the transfer case
(grin). On Drippy it was the rear axle always filling up with water.
Check out the "Waterproofing Your Fsj" article on the IFSJA site, it's full
of all kinds of stuff to help prevent water problems.

that's "by the book". Actually, 4" lift on a wide-track for 33s,
supposedly can't fit 33s under a wago no how no way. Last tires I had on
Timex were 33s, never rubbed anywhere front or rear. One of the junkers is
a stock '73 wago w/33s. Looks like it'd be a little tough to turn the
front wheels and change the rears. Probably has NO axle articulation left.
I once heard of a wago w/ 44s, no lift. Fenders were cut up to the bottom
of the quarter windows for clearance!

Subject: Thornbirds
Beware, Ken... I've heard nothing but complaints about the Thornbirds.
But that's down here in the land of goo...
>BFG Mud T/A's are great, but I'm dreaming of TSL Thornbirds or some such
>after that last trip. ;-)
Then again, I've also heard moaning and groaning about the Boggers, too...
seems they're ONLY good for mud, and apparently suck everywhere else.
Tire of choice around here (nice thick black Florida primo goo) is
Swampers, followed by other MT tires of that ilk. Definitely Swampers are
the most popular (and effective).
If you're looking for an AT tire, I don't think you'll be happy with the
Thornbirds, at least from what I've heard. I don't know how well they work
on rocks.
I wish I still could get my old tires. They worked well in mud, extremely
well everywhere else, and were so wide they looked really really tough on
Timex. These 31s still look funky to me. They (the 31s) definitely seem
to be better in mud, but they're not siped at all, so they bite the big
green one otherwise. I got stuck on level wet grass one morning...

However, the electronic ignition in some of our Jeeps seems to need a boost at idle and part throttle conditions. My main concern is burning all the air/fuel mixture so I can pass Emissions tests in November.... Some of the guys on this list who put Jacobs systems on their FSJs have said that Jacobs helped idle, part throttle, and power, but no increase in gas mileage. Anyone put one on an FSJ and want to comment? BTW, what ever happened to Jack McAdams (Daedulus(I know I mis-spelled that)) Jeff[Back to Top]

I know some of the cheaper Holley systems aren't closed loop. This seems to me to be more like a glorified carb. I would suggest looking into some of the 258 specific FI products like those offered by Howell, Electromotive (JFI), and Mopar's MPI retrofit kit. Although these are all more expensive than the ProJection system, they are specifically designed for the engine and run closed loop. P.S. do you have a dog named Scooby?

Hey Michael;
Could you send me a copy of your video also? With summer quickly
approaching
it may be a good project to keep me busy.
If you need a tape or $$ for postage let me know.

Did anyone notice the nice looking J-truck in today's
police shoot-out with bank robbers in LA? Parked in
the middle of the street, they used it for cover.
Looks like maybe a Gladiator? Not the kind of
recognition we like to see.

Almost, had my Uncle's nice high school '74 Manta Ralleye to play with
this fall, it was a BLAST to drive with the original engine performance
modified, 130 HP or so, lil bright orange car that could light tires and
got some long stares. *grin*

I bought it direct from Jacobs after being assured that it had the same gap sensing and multiple fire capabilities as the Ultra-team, but didn't have the anti-theft features. They also gave the guaranteed increases in torque, horsepower, and mileage. After I installed it, I only noticed improved idle, but I don't know how you could notice the marginal increase in torque and horsepower. I really wanted some increase in mileage and when I didn't get it, I decided to send it back under the money-back guarantee. I called to arrange the return and that's when I found out about the restocking fee ( 15 or 20%, don't remember now). I ended up keeping it because it did improve the idle and I hate to spend money on nothing. C Ya, Dan '77 J20, 360, QT; '95 ZJ Laredo, 318, QT[Back to Top]
