I have been replacing mine on the 80 if bent too bad since I figured it's affect tire wear like Rob said. $50 x 2 bucks for used but bushings no? But heck all my bushings are probably in need of replacement. So if I do one then I have to do them all.
Thanks for the T100 feedback. So I have a used original front locker from my 97 FZJ80. It operates intermittently. Maybe just not actuated enough?
I bought a new one since I was heading to GMSTR in a week. I guess it needs a rebuild, maybe, I planned to do that for a spare, but never...
Don't know much about T100's. Looking at one for a farm truck. 5 speed :) 275,000, reviews seem good on KBB but wanted club feedback. I don't have much history on it. Priced pretty good cause it's beat up and has rust, which I don't care about if the frame is good. Thanks
Had my tire guy dismount all tires, clean all wheel rims, remount with fresh contact sealant. My KO 2's kept loosing air and I hoped this would help. It seems to have made a large difference. 315's/35's take a lot of air and I don't have a good compressor anymore.
Re-bled all break valves...
You could slap a small power steering cooler right next to or halfway behind that fan and be even better off. I added a small radiator type on my 80 easily and they are way better than the factory "paperclip". Just a thought. Sweet rig you have. SLEE shortbus bumper? That's what I have.
Friend of mine used to have an IH Scout. It did surprisingly well in sand and moderate off-roading with street tires. But it rusted away so much the body sort of fell off the frame in the end. I was a bit afraid to ride in it after that. The 345 engine ran very well even when he finally sold...
My thought is I bet it was scary drilling that first hole! Not sure about painting big area or smaller patches. Maybe calculate total paint lines/edges which might be issues and ease of each? (Can you tell I'm not a paint guy?) Rock on with the new rack!
It's all good and fixed properly. Appreciate all the feedback and support. I actually used Remington Bore Brite barrel cleaner before chasing studs and it seemed to work great. Again, thank to all! DLPDLP
Hey, BILT4ME. I couldn't make the Kessler Run either. Should I still use muratic acid or PB Blaster on studs, or with the Dormans cut their way back on? Thanks and good to see a friendly name reply!
My other nuts seem to have removed themselves. I found the sensor cover hanging on one stud/bolt. (Lucky!) Can't get new nuts to thread. Tried 8MM 1.25 and 8mm 1.0.
WD40'd and wire brushed threads..... no help. They look worn on to. Not really sure how the old nuts came off? Studs are...
