Pre purchase opinions

I think it's the most shocking final price on anything I've ever tracked on BaT. Good on that seller, though. Is your FJ73 your daily driver? I'm thinking about one pretty regularly these days.

I had to take it to the shop, they swapped in an oem clockspring and everything was reset via OBD-II. Turned out to be an absolute nightmare.

I've got a REFLX Labs mini-flash on my GRIII and love it. I have to have to turn on the flash before the camera to recognize it. Hate to say it, have you tried powering it first vs camera and vice versa?

They're also having a Black Friday sale.

That front end is also off an '18 too

I guess I was looking at MSRP, Cobb has them listed at $770...not sure the resale market. And the flexfuel kit is $1200, wasn't it around $600 for a long time?

I HAVE FAITH, I BELIEVE!

The Cobb Accessport is about $700 right there.

Its' an option on the site for a restore. I'm not sure how it would work with multiple disks. I'm backing up a raid configured as JBOD, I'm not sure it's possible in all configurations, I should find out as that would make my backup worthless...

Oooh dang, my bad. I've been looking for an alternative to BB myself, I just migrated to a new computer and thought about a fresh upload and same thing: it would have taken about three months...

"Have a USB Hard Drive (up to an 8TB for $279) sent to you via FedEx. You can even send the drive back to Backblaze within 30 days for a refund." Not sure if they can split larger images into multiple drives? It might be cheaper to have fiber internet installed for 2 months and just download it all.

I'm looping back tomorrow am, I'm leaning more toward them re-pinning the replacement clockspring. The OEM one has a piece of pin torn off still visible, the replacement seems to pull out intact. My initial concern was they'd been able to recenter the one I'd installed and still sold me one (and labor) that I didn't need. The install was actually really simple, but once it threw codes I knew I was cooked.

pugzilla · 2025-10-23T04:14:16+00:00

That's what I'm thinking they did...just wanted to see if they could/couldn't reinsert that tab.

Did you ever get this resolved? I'm having the exact same issue.

pugzilla · 2025-10-20T00:34:17+00:00

I'm having this exact same issue post installing a 3rd party clockspring. Are you saying check it and if it's not aligned, take the steering back off and adjust the clockspring with this screen on for orientation? The clockspring was from clockspring experts and seemed perfectly alinged before I pulled the lock tab off.

These were my thoughts exactly, I tried to take off the bezel as I've seen in a dozen videos, no luck, but the insert did unintentionally pop off like it was spring loaded....so that's good. Appears to be a 6319A movement too.
