    Dobinsons bumper paint issues.

    The bumper was taken out of its packaging and installed in January. I have a picture of the back of the rig that I took on 4/1/24 and there is no issue with the bumper at that time, then a week later it looks like the pictures above. Below is a photo that was taken on April 1 and then a photo...

    Dobinsons bumper paint issues.

    Just wondering if anyone else has experience with Dobinsons bumpers and if they've had issues with the paint peeling/chipping off? I purchased a new Dobinsons rear bumper last year and installed it about 3 months ago. The bumper was looked perfect out of the box and the install went without...

    Under 8 MPG

    Actually, I don't know for sure what the stock tire size was that were put on them/mine in 1992, the 31x10.5 is what was on it when I bought it and they seemed to correlate with the odometer. I've only had the 35's on now for about two weeks, but I've been using it as my daily since then and I'm...

    Under 8 MPG

    Sorry if this has already been addressed, I didn't read through all the posts, but have you adjusted for the tire size in your calculations? I just went from stock size 31x10.50r15 tires in my '92 to 35x12.50r15 and no other changes to the vehicle, other than a 2" OME lift. Now for every 1 mile...

    3fe cat removal

    ^^^I'd be more concerned about that oil pressure, or is that gauge just broken?

    Eaton lockers?

    No, I'm still here. :) Shipping my diffs across the country doesn't sound very appealing, especially when there are plenty of reputable places here locally that can do the work, although it's kind of funny beings that I just got back home, less than a week ago, from a two week vacation in AZ. I...

    Eaton lockers?

    Hello all, as I continue to slowly build my, now two years old to me, '92 FJ80, I've decided to triple lock it. I think I've decided to go with Eaton e-lockers over ARB air lockers, and now I'm looking for the best deal I can find. My questions are, does anybody know of any good deals being...

    Jerry cans for fuel question.

    I wonder if there's any difference in the plastic between the fuel and water cans? I can only find the water cans on Amazon.

    Jerry cans for fuel question.

    I have a rear bumper with a basket for duel jerry cans (Dobinsons rear bumper), and I was just wanting to get a consensus on what jerry cans to buy. So basically metal vs. plastic. On Amazon they're wanting $180 for two 5.3 gal. metal cans, and the plastic "water" cans of basically the same size...

    Winch cover, yes or no?

    Makes sense, thank you for your input.

    Winch cover, yes or no?

    I just installed a new Warn winch and I have no experience with them so I was just wondering if it would be a good idea to purchase a cover, or is it not really necessary. I'm thinking that it would probably be a good idea to protect my investment, but IDK. What say you all?

    Winch recommendations?

    I just put an ARB Deluxe bumper on the front of my 80 series and I was wondering what winch would be best recommended. I’m thinking at least a 10,000 lb Warn, or maybe 12,000, but I don’t know if I need to go that big. I have a 2” lift and I’ll be running 33x12.50 tires. Appreciate any and all...
