Interesting, I did not know Teraflex produced one for the FC :thinking: Nice find, that should look cool with the 170 sporting a tire on the side of the bed all "old school" like. That was one of the things I used to love, for some reason, on old step side pick up trucks was the tire right behind the cab bolted to the bed.

Same here. I was really sad when it wasn't on the jeep when I picked it up. However it was in the for sale pictures. He said it got lost.

After driving on the brakes for longer than I should. I order new wheel cylinders, brakes, and all the springs and hardware from Crown. The drums are still in good shape.


Date??



I had to put the tire on the spare, still need to order a permanent one

Nice. Should be stopping better now.

Any engine shots or a pic of the oil filter housing?

Well, it stops... Just not really fast.

I'm going to swap the master cylinder out with a wilwood dual and see if that helps.

I don't have any new motor shots, oil bath is on the top right, red canister

Cool f head.

I'm big into underhead valve engines. Love the sound, uniqueness and ease of working on.

What's the top cruising speed for your FC-170?

45-50 mph. I wouldn't feel comfortable any faster.
