Hello all, my Cruiser was stolen out of my parking lot on the 29th of June in Greeley, Colorado. It has been reported stolen and it has been searched for with no results, I fear its south and across the border. If anyone comes across any parts...
I pulled mine out a few weeks ago and used an old soft shoe polish brush plus dawn and water to clean my seal gently. I was floored with the dirt and debris that came out of the edge seal. Then I did Jon Held’s trick with a wrap of butchers...
Have your tried adjusting the sunroof height? From inside the vehicle if you push up on the glass does it move significantly upward??
The glass (assembly) can sag allowing too much water to get past the seal, adding shims under the glass...
I used butyl window tape on mine until I deleted it. You can get it at any lowes or HD. It worked great and since it’s under your roof rack it shouldn’t matter what it looks like...
I'm tired of my sunroof leaking... I've cleaned the drains, probably not as well as I should have... but I gave it the old college try, and it still leaks inside. I have an ARB roof rack and NEVER use the sun roof. I'll eliminate the sunroof...
There is 1 relay that supplies +12 to all 4 bulb positions, and there are 2 fuses. 1 for left side and one for right side, both high and low beam.
If the highs work in the flash position, but not when pushing the stalk to the high position, then...
I’d spring for the UC-10 as it fills the dash much better than the IC-7. I installed a UC-10 on my Tacoma and absolutely love it. However, I cannot bring myself to do it on the FZJ after considering all of the dash indicator lights that will...
NIce to know there's an upgrade option but if you add the optional bits the dakota digital price goes to $2300??
I think I'll have to stick with the old steam gauges for now.
Just got the email today. Great news! We are a dealer for them (classic car shop). I’m sure this will be handy for many people doing swaps or just wanting modern functionality with stock looking gauges. These things are great and we use them in...
Unfortunately, I do not. I ordered 5 of these wheels 6 years ago. Only 3 arrived. The online dealer told me the 2 remaining wheels were on back order. The next day, I found 2 more wheels from another online dealer in Ohio, and was told these were...
We all know that the OEM battery box for both the FJ80s and FZJ80s are not the best design for off road activities.
Mine had broken tabs where it bolts to the inner fender, the J-hook slot was elongated and tearing into the fiberglass on the...
No such thing as consensus when it comes to oil on any car, may as well be talking religion or sports.
90915-YZZD3 has been good to me for over 15 years now :meh:
That would be like dumping a supermodel because she had a bad hair day. Superficial issues.
Afterwards you might get mad thinking about the next guy that fixed it and is driving it around with a big smile.
Of course I had to fix it... core support radiator transmission cooler powered steering paper clip grill valance bumper hood all needed to be replaced luckily I had most of the parts.
I'm 32 years in with mine.
My service log has 270 entries and my fuel log has 950 entries.
I don't have a dollar total in the service log but my fuel bill stands at $47,056.26
Definitely not crazy for considering this, although you may have biased opinions in this forum section, but an 80 is a great series to have. Super comfortable to drive (especially when compared to my 40 or 60) and feels super safe to drive in...
I know this is an old post but I just wanted to say thanks for posting this! I used it as a base for my build I finished yesterday. I made some changes but it was a great place to start.
So another small update:
The big challenge for this whole project is the reality that some parts need to be cast. I got a quote a few years ago for 8,000.00 for the pattern and core box for the compressor mount. Then it would be casting costs...
Drive it until you know more about how it runs, drives, etc. and read through the FAQ section for PM
Spend a few hundred hours reading in the 80 Forum
You can glean some information (ie to get oriented) by watching some You Tube videos for the 80...
I have an A343F transmission (120k miles or so) that I will be installing with a new engine next month. (LX450).
I’m planning to do the following:
- Replace output seal (90311-48016)
- Replace input seal (90311-38020)
- Replace shift solenoids...
