NWF has re-designed the blackbox for the 80 per their website to take care of the overheating issue on the highway. I am waiting to hear back from them but wanted to see if anyone on here has installed one. I am thinking of swapping an LS and...

Please don't compare specialized tires to road tires. That's apples to oranges. Not many road vehicles run drag tires, and not many dragsters run steel belted radials. Completely different manufacturing processes for completely different...

You're thinking about it the wrong way. There is a series of steel belts in the tread area that prevent the tread from expanding or contracting, while remaining flexible. The distance from the hub to the ground is not relevant because the tread...

Like I said, tires are not balloons. The tread length is fixed due to the construction of the tire. Think of a tire tread like a tank track or bulldozer track. It can deform and take on different shapes, but the length remains constant. The only...

Tires are not balloons. The rolling distance of a tire between 36 psi and 22 psi is unchanged. The contact patch is larger on the low tire and will cause higher rolling resistance, but that's it. Quite frankly, even if you put 2 slightly...

Here's the update on Dan. He's doing a lot better and looks to be sent home by early next week. Chris checked on him yesterday.

Fwiw, the part number I listed (16400-66040) was for the OBD1 FZJ80. It is a direct fit for all USDM FZJ80s, and is what I have in my LX450.

80 Series OEM radiators (TRAD) have always had plastic tanks. 1991-1997.

Considering that the OEM radiator lasted 33 years, I would opt for OEM 16400-66040. Don't forget new mounting hardware and cushions regardless of which radiator you choose. As you'd be pulling everything apart anyway, a new OEM fan clutch, water...

That's quite different from what you originally stated. I would fill the radiator to the top of the filler neck and use a pressure tester. It should hold at least 13 PSI (cap relief pressure) for a few hours without decreasing. That's the easiest...

I find it difficult to believe that you're loosing 3 gallons of coolant after a few drives. If that were the case, it would be pretty easy to identify as it would be pouring out of the truck.

Were you able to get info from the hospital?

Correct. Remove the reservoir cap and you'll see the float. That's why the cap has wires attached. Correct. When the sensor in the cap starts to fail, it can dimly illuminate the dash brake lamp. I was only able to notice this at night, but ANY...

Friedlander. Not sure of the spelling.

We have all been there at one point or another. There is a harness that has a clip on the frame rail that likes to break. When that happens, the harness rests against the front drive shaft and will eventually rub through. I don't remember if it's...

I am embarrassed to inform you that I, the man sticking paper clips in an OBD1 port for weeks like an idiot, was unaware of there also being an OBD2 port. The code is p0135. O2 sensor. I’m still a bit confused at the nature of the side effects...

The dash brake lamp is ONLY illuminated by the sensor in the cap of the reservoir or the hand brake lever switch. If it is dimly lit, then the sensor in the cap is failing. The low oil lamp is ONLY illuminated by the float switch in the oil pan...

Your 95 is likely OBD2, so there's no jumping pins in the diagnostic connector to read codes. You plug in an OBD2 code reader to the OBD2 port on the top of the fuse panel by the driver's left knee. Any of the bluetooth readers on Amazon will...

There are 5 Land Cruiser clubs in VA. I would reach out to them and find someone with 1FZ-FE experience. https://forum.ih8mud.com/forums/va-bay-to-blue-ridge-cruisers.89/ https://forum.ih8mud.com/forums/va-cova-cruisers.261/...

I have never had a leak using just the OEM cork gaskets, but it will depend on how well you clean the mating surfaces and trouble spots. It is difficult to get the rear bearing cap clean with the transmission in place. That's the sealing surface...

What a great weekend! Good friends, good trails and good food - Fall Crawl 2026 for the win! Thank you to all who attended, and a special thank you to all who made this event possible - Andrew, Kevin, Brian, Faith, Chris, Jake, Matt, Jeff + Mark...

"One day, lad, all this will be yours!"

Yes Fred, Chris and I went to the hospital. They now have our contact information. Dan was more coherent than he was in the morning but still pretty out of it. They will be keeping him for a few days and they were still running test but they did...

Another FC in the books. Perfect weather, great event, great folks, great trails. What more could you ask for? Thanks to all the organizers for your hard work putting this together. It is appreciated. Does anyone have an update on Dan?
