OK so the removal of the filler neck from the donor is complete. I must say that it was easy but time consuming. If you go into the job understanding this, it makes the job much easier to accomplish. Here is a list of a few things that might...

Roof mounted crane is a rare option here indeed. Well done ;)

With @whiskeytooth's help, got the new OME 861/862 springs in along with a set of Koni Heavy Track Raid shocks. Rear suspension fought all the way because of rust. I'm excited to see how the new shocks are.

The oil gauge can be checked for function via an FSM procedure. You have to pull the instrument cluster. The procedure uses a fault indicator bulb from the cluster to represent the signal current. I still only rely on it as a pressure function...

So a few weeks ago I was having some starting issues, there was high resistance in my starting system. So bad that I smoked my CB radio 😳 So I tested the battery (new AGM) no issues there, Voltage was 13.9 and load tested perfect. I removed the...

Oil change in the garage followed by impromptu gym sesh with my youngest

Installed a Custom Splice offset fairlead. It fit my budget and seem very Heavy-duty.

Installed the bellfab tire carrier for my 35s

The copper bearing Al alloys (60XX, 70XX) should be anodized on all exposed surfaces.

I thought my rear emergency brake was sticking because it was getting hot . It wasn't the brake at all that was causing it to get hot . I pull up the emergency brake before I get out because I'm on a slight hill . When I would go down...

@SpillmanCruiser : From a previous thread, M45 x 1.5 (double check that).

Check the battery voltage

This thread was a lot of help. Thanks.

Make things easy for yourself and remove the battery and battery box. Tons of room now. Don't forget to loosen the lock bolt on the belt adjuster and Don't forget to tighten it when the new alternator is in (it will chaff on the drive belt...

At idle with lights on and AC on I see 14.1V. Same scenario driving I see 14.4-14.7V. With no load on battery, while idling, you should see 14-14.7. Not running, at the battery, you should see 12.5-12.8 right after killing the motor. If your...

The OEM switch goes in the square port to the right in your pic. When I back fit a rear locker the receptacle was there on my '94. I down loaded the FSM and ECD for it and they were both spot on.

Hi not sure if I’m doing this right but my boyfriend drives an 80 series it’s 30 years old and I want to buy him some paracord grab handles as a gift, as he has mentioned in the past he would like them someday. I was just wanting to know how...

I just bought my first 80 about a week ago. Changed all oils including front and rear diffs, trans, transfer case. I need to do a coolant flush soon too.

The permatex on my transmission pan has never leaked. I can't remember what it was. I used OEM fipg on the lower oil pan, installed per fsm, and that worked too.

Since the PAIR system seems to be out make sure the vacuum line on the front of the head is plugged. I took mine out and put the O2' sensors in the manifolds (much better position if you ask me). All three times I had this symptom on my '94 it...

Cleaned it up, been daily driving it. Cleans up nice!
