Well IDK about that! I honestly think that is just their theory. It's because of those 2 coolers that the towing rating goes up on a non-factory tow package truck from 3500lbs to the factory tow package of 6500lbs. All the rest of the mechanicals are the same, even the gear ratios

 

yep, love these lights. my go to for most needs. can stick a few on the bumper too if the need arises

 

More work. FJs are more play. Just my theory

 

Convert to -AN lines and make a custom cooler setup

 

Trivia question; where did AN lines get their name?

 

Hmmm, maybe the initials of someone who first made them?

 

Anyone been lately? I left work at 10 because I feel so terrible

 

Who?

 

Had to stay home last Thursday due to flu like symptoms. Got pink eye and a bad ear infection over the weekend, so fun times

 

No clue! Google cheating didn't help me either!

 

No clue where it came from...

 

Hmmmmm...Anal Ninja?

 

That sucks!

Hahaha

Um no

AN stands for "Army Navy". They are the ones that developed them. Google Army Navy fittings

 

Friend of mine is doing a surprise birthday party for her bf, so I get to do the F1 racing in Braintree Sat night. Should be a good time.

 

So i paid attention to my trans temps as i drove around on lunch. they mostly stay at like 130F-140F but under moderate acceleration i got it up to 165F. According to what I have read anything over 175F will wear on the trans fluid. Guess we will see how it goes when i finally tow it from the dealer to my house.

 

My manual doesn't even have the option to add one, really... boo

Our hero!

 

A long, slow, steady uphill crawl where the torque convertor isn't able to lock up would give you about the worst case scenario as to how hot your transmission fluid will get. You shouldn't be able to heat up the fluid overly quickly. If you're seeing fast spikes and drops in the fluid temps, you should take a look at where/how the data is being collected.

 

Ah, joint standard between the Army and Navy. Doesn't that make sense!

 

It's a manual, you shouldn't need one as long as there isn't a loose screw between the gas pedal and steering wheel.

 

Concur, manuals don't need them as you are controlling the gear selection and "lockup" with the clutch
