Found a replacement for the tensioner on the 1fzfe, this one is ratcheting like the old style found sometimes on the early 93-94 fzj80. Going to put it in and will report back with my findings. I will share the part number If it works out. Trying...

Yes, very tight. Had to take the backing board out to install it so you could allow it to flex.

Okay, pretty thick, 3/8 should be enough though. I used the witsend QPM, no experience with the either of the other two although the delta appears to be very close. It was a pain to squeeze in there!

It says on the item description that a 5/8 plywood subpanel is included

You will need to provide your own backboard for mounting equipment. That or you will be limited to how/where you mount equipment.

LS 400 horns are cheep and are plug and play. Run them on mine and love them. easy to find on E-bay ;)

I've not posted to this thread for a long time. But this weekend I drove my '95 for the first time in 2 years, 7 months, and 18 days. I had a HG failure and parked it. In January this year, I pulled the head. Just got it buttoned up this...

Finished up my older son's swing out. His is the one on the Right. Just need to find time to finish one more with my youngest.

You may want to also ask if anyone on this forum is getting rock sliders and has any take-off's they need to get rid of!. Could get them for the cost of shipping? Or, just go with a simple solid step slider, like Slee and paint if factory with...

Mud members, I am usually - okay normally - well almost always in the 80 section, so please forgive my ignorance. I was out mall cruising a few weeks ago and decided to scrape up my running board pretty bad on the driver's side. Would have not...

100% agree. I’ve given up on Amayama. Megazip and Partsouq are my go-to now.

I don't think Toyota Parts Deal is a "thing". I think it's basically an internet front that just scrapes the net for parts and pretends to be a business. I had one good and two bad experiences with them - one was for some hard to find weather...

Daughter and new owner of Batlshp proves her worth with a beginner job of replacing the fan clutch:

Not the best start to the day. Daughter was parked up at high school when Florida Man drove into her. No idea what speed the idiot was doing but thankfully my daughter is OK but a little shaken up. Driver side fender and door is also...

Another vote for Olathe. I received my radiator within 5 business days, double boxed, no damage. I've always had good luck with TPD for small items, but didn't want to risk it. Olathe also had the best price.

That's some bulls 💩 atiquette there! I ordered a front drive shaft from them because of their 25% off promo and it was clearly a returned item and it's packaging was as gnarly as yours aswell. He claimed it was brand new but it still has the...

I have purchased from all of them. Not sure why I tried a "new" vendor other than being stupid about saving $5. Parsouq, in my defense, was over $200 more, not including shipping...

I have way too much overhead to be able to give out Cad files for free. :lol:

In fact, now that I am exploding your email box, I will order hood insulation from you as we get closer to the fall. That is December in the desert, right? :rofl:

Beno, hey, thanks Chief - You the man! You and your shop are on my AZ bucket list, I definitely would like to visit you once things cool off.

Just a followup on this, also posted a note in the buyer beware section of Mud. Bad Vendor: Toyota Parts Deal Fast forward. I returned the part, in their carton as requested. They indicated that they would ship me a new vane pump when they...

I posted a thread on a shipment I received from these chaps here: What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/what-did-you-do-with-your-80-this-weekend.586191/post-15997725 Fast forward. I returned the part, in...

Shenanigans

Dry ice cleaning followed by laser and coated the axles. Next up, PDR. Any recommendations for the wheel wells now that it's stripped clean? Not sure what used to be there... was thinking rubberized undercoating?
