Well, I got my 88 runner with 16X,XXX on the clock. 5 speed, sunroof, power everything, AC not working. From previous owner new timing belt, radiator and H2O pump. It is in really nice shape, has those adjustable seats. This thing is unmodified at all. Stock all the way. The first 1-2" of...

well. I e-mailed www.mustang.bc.ca about this. They will sell engine, tranny and transfercase from one of the 86-89 runners for 4500 canadian. Not really that bad if you ask me. Find a nice rust free 87 runner for about 1500 with a bad motor or tranny and swap it in. The older ones...

Other than that, no other possibilities? And can I change it without draining the transfer case? I just changed the fluid with some nice synthetic stuff? Alex

Well, I thought the speedo cable was bad on my 87 Hj60 with 5 speed. Got the new one, and just for s***s and giggles I turned the old one with a drill and it worked!! So the cable is still good, the speedo is good, but something else is wrong. Can anyone help? I sold the car already and am...

I have a gasoline engine compression tester, and no you can't use them on diesels because of the higher pressure. The one I bought from www.tooldesk.com was less than fifty, and the adapter another 8.00. The kit VTcruiser posted is the same tool. but with all the adapters. I did not need them...

Well, I found a nice affordable diesel compression tester, but they only have adpaters for the 1.8 and 2.2 glow plugs. 10x1.25 pitch. Question, will either of these allow me to use on a 2H, with the 4.0 liter diesel? Thanks, Alex

On the off chance that you always wanted to see the northeast.... What would it cost to deliver to 06110? I am interested pre-rebuild. Thanks, Alex

A real quick one. I am selling my HJ60 and want to fix stuff before. I need to get the primer pump, the diaphragm (sp?) and also new injectors. 4wheelauto seems a little steep. Any other options? AlexD

Quick question, someone here posted that if you have a leak you might feel it sometimes loosing power? I have the smoke sometimes I can see in headlights behind me at night, and I could have sworn one day it did not do it, and seemed slower. I am selling the truck and I want to make sure I...

I know nobody will think this is funny but...... Are you sure its not a Mozart Hatch squeek? Get it, BACH, MOZART?? Oh just forget it! Try adjusting the latch so it holds the hatch tighter, that used to work on my old VW's, might work here. Just loosen the latch a bit and try pushing...

Would you be willing to sell the tires alone? And are they on rims? Alex

Mine is the same color, if thats the one in the pic... What motor are you swapping in? And why sell the tranny? Oh, and I like the tube bumper on it... I have a butt-ugly warn bumper with winch. Mine used to be a surveyors truck. Alex

Hey, what happened? Is this the truck you bought not too long ago? Not to be a vulture, but if you are parting the whole thing, I am in CT, and could probably use a lot of the parts. And what was wrong with the motor? Something I could be looking out for in mine? I have an 87 hj60 and it...

Sorry, yes the ARB and lift are on the 80 I am looking at. My truck has an ugly warn winch bumper and winch. Its one of those ugly bumpers used more for work trucks, the 60 is that tan mettalic, body is in perfect shape except for a couple dings, and the rockers are crap. Runs and drives very...

I am posting to see what interest, if any there would be in the engine and tranny from a Fj-80. I have been thinking about swapping my 2H into a 91-92 cruiser. The truck I am looking at has 180K and lots of records. I am turboing the 2H, and think it will be nice to put into a cruiser the lady...
