Mullet came by this afternoon. Parts are sold. Thanks for looking.

You are next in line. Mullet is gonna try to come by this weekend.

I'm selling a knuckle rebuild kit I got from CDan in March. It is a new complete kit. All seals, snap rings knuckle bearings etc. I'm selling because we sold the LC :( to buy the wife a sequoia :) I paid $275 in March. I'm asking $200 plus the ride. I can get shipping quotes if you send me...

Good luck to ya. Overheating while towing could also mean a slipping tranny. But we won't go there. I would guess that the radiator is clogged. I will offer help to you if needed. I live in Lakeland (central FL area). If you need a place to swap parts, tool etc. let me know. I would be...

Got one going bad Well after saying how great these tires are. I went out this morning and found a tire with low pressure. No problem I thought. Well after looking at the tire, the tread is separating. I have cracks developing on the sidewall of the tire. Not good. I will post pics this...

I have a set on my 80. They perform great. I will buy a set for my Tundra when the OE tires wear out. They do really well in the rain. They wear like iron. I think I have close ot 45,000 miles on them and they still have about 30% tread left. On road they hum a little. Nothing bad. But...

Yes it will. https://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-tech/86153-arb-bull-bar-ramsey-re12000-fitment.html I have the same winch and I have been wondering how to fit it under the factory bumper. Good luck. Let us know how it turns out.

That is why I live in Florida! It looks like a stout set-up. How di d they brace the frame? Can it be removed quickly for summer?

Where are you at in sunny muggy old FL? I am in lakeland. Not to high jack.... see if you can get your hands on a laser temp gun. Using the temp gun find out what temp the water is coming out of the thermostat housing, in and out of the radiator. If the engine is hot, but the thermostat...

Yep the AC system in these trucks in marginal at best down here in good old Florida. It seems like you have checked all the usual suspects. First I would take the truck to a trusted mechanic and have them check your pressures. It should read about 35-45 on the low side and 225 or so on the...

You have got to love how tough and safe these trucks are. I have seen too many accidents on here with people just walking away. I would say its time for insurance to buy you a new bumper! Good luck.

I don't know of any mechanic in Ft. Lauderdale. Sorry. I do know of a great mechanic in the Bradenton area. Its a few hours away, but it might be on the way out of town if you buy it. And if something happens and you are near Tampa or Orlando, call me. PM me if you want my phone number. I...

I would spot weld all the bolts and nuts in place. If you needed to remove them you could grind them off. But if a would be thief saw that he would need to take extra effort he might move on.

Thanks all. The queen will let me work on the LC. But expensive projects are on hold for now. She is taking 3 months off work to be with our new son. So we have no $$$$ to spend. The plan is to make a family wheeling/weekend ride. I hope to lift it about 2-3 inches, build the rear bumper...

Hey all. Like the the title says... new member here bring it on!!!! I have been a long time lurker. I have a good old '96 fzj-80. It was a hand me down from pops for a college graduation present a few years ago. Thanks dad! When I first got I did a full tune up and gave it some needed TLC...
