So went out today to start one of the trucks and it laughed at me. All the standard pre-flight lights came on, all the beeps and such, but turn the key and nada. Not even a click. Check the battery, it shows 12.6v, And is only about 6 weeks old so I believe it is good. I drove the truck right at 2 weeks ago and all went well, go out today and nothing. Thinking I may have blown a fusable link, but not 100% sure. I think I have a spare set around, but gonna get a set on the way. Aside from that, any other pointers on where to start? 92 3FE rig.

 

[Bossman]

Pull the starter and get it tested.

Sounds like exactly what happened to mine. Which mine was the alarm but I removed the alarm and had intermittent starter issues. Replaced starter and worked perfect. Give the starter a few good wacks before you go through the trouble of taking it off.

 

[Bossman]

Pretty easy on a 3fe truck

 

[wngrog]

Fuseable.

Somebody needs to rescue this riced out oil burner.

I thought this was the Shush catfish account.

You mean the umbrella thread was real?

 

[tacoma2002]

Hell yes it was for real...

I figured it would turn into a flame fest, so I was prepared

I just hardly use my Mud account so I'm pretty well incognito most of the time here.

Just a quick heads-up:

My 80-series will be for sale soon. It has been owned by @Bossman and driven by @Land Speeder , so really what more do you need?!

Specs:
- '93 Forest Green - 256k on clock, has "lower miles" engine, I believe
- 4.88 gears w/ factory elockers
- Longfield birfs with stock inners
- ARP hub studs front and rear (rear have 0 miles on them - installed last night)
- new spindle axle seals installed in rear (8/23)
- AISIN lockouts on front w/ gold 60-series dial faces (big deal, right...)
- heavy-duty drag-link
- ARP knuckle studs
- 1 1/2" Spidertrax spacers
- roughly 4" lift rear, 4" lift front with 2" budget-block spacers
- ARB front bumper in rough shape
- tubular rock sliders welded to scab plates on frame
- exhaust routed inside framerails, catalytic converters eliminated
- replaced lower rear links with unmolested factory units (8/23)
- have a set of Trail-Gear transfer case crawler gears that will go with it, extra rear driveshaft, front axle gaskets, Marlin Eco seals, other seals
- comes with factory doors with working electric Windows and lift hatch
- will come with 35" Treadwright Guard Dogs on 17" Sequoia alloys

The Bad:
- body has dents and dings, in particular rear lower quarter panels
- rear pinion seal weeps
- could use new rotors and pads on most corners - still work fine, though - I would remove ABS system at that time, too
- electric seats no longer adjust - fixed position
- couple of broken wheel studs - will try to replace before it sells
- passenger Birf occasional clicks - had driver rebuilt by RCV when I bought the Cruiser two and a half years ago for ~$100 shipped, and it's smooth
- rear windows have been removed
- center diff lock permanently locked in, but to has lockouts - drive flanges included if you want them.
- sunroof is non-functional
- has radio, but blew a fuse or something when passenger visor was taken out forcefully

This has been an absolute blast to wheel and taught me a lot about the dynamics of wheeling. I ran 36" Swampers, 35" short-course Maxxis stickies, 37" Trep non-sticky, and 37" Trep stickies on it. The Cruiser has been a proving ground for my many theories of off-roading design and equipment. Only left me stranded once due to a broken sector shaft. Box was replaced on the trail with the help of many from CottonLand Crew (thanks again, all!).

The Cruiser is a perfect platform for another Half-Ass or Sandy "Dat Ass". I had high hopes of finding the time to chop it up, but that hasn't happened and won't any time soon. Been building a house with my wife, and that has consumed my life the past eternity (it seems), and the land we have built on will continue to require a lot of my time. All that to say it time for it to find a new home. Could be road-worthy, and I've driven it for a few miles on asphalt at a time, but I think it really is best suited as a trail rig.
