Thanks Phil, I'll pull the unit.

Back with more questions after picking up this project, The fuel gauge seems not to be working after this vehicle sat for almost a year. I filled her with fuel this morning and there was no movement on the fuel instrument gauge, so I'm wondering if this is a known problem and where I might...

Woha! Thanks so much!!! Any Ideas on my sway bar issue ? :)

Hi folks, I have a 1996 FZJ80 and I wish to replace the rear lateral control rod bushings; the part number 48706-60030 fits in the control rod but the bolt hole is too small. Can someone tell me if I ordered the wrong part number? The package says "bush sub assy, LATER"... I'm wondering if...

Thanks Matt, the factory radiator was just over 400.00 so I plan on ordering one. The first one lasted (and is still good) over 175K so as a prevention piece I'm hoping for good results from a stock unit. Please let me know if you disagree. Thanks!

First, thanks all for the information above, as I move through this truck (which is really growing on me) I have another question. I have replaced the Waterpump, Fan Clutch, front cover seal, oil pump seal, distributor o-ring, all the automatic transmission cooling and resevoir lines and all...

Thanks Jason!

Question: how can you tell if you have an 80 series 3FE or an 80 series 1 FZ. It's probably a very stupid question but there seem to be different parts/part numbers and the years overlap.?? Thanks

Thanks MDC, I will watch that terminal :cool:

Hello folks, I hope the forum members are all healthy. I have a question regarding "back-up" cameras and 360 degree cameras. On the FZJ80 I'm building I want to incorporate a system that can act as a back-up camera, a 360 degree camera and an HD recorder. Does anyone here have experience...

Thanks Guys/Gals, I think I'll work with the interstate batteries. Is there a suggested model/part number? I'm thinking "capless" on the wheels and not worried about the rear hubs but I'd like to protect the dust caps up front- any ideas?

Thanks Phil, I amended the posting title and will refer to the project as an FZJ80- I'll be thinking of Frank Zappa as I type that one out... I totally agree about the Optima Battery, I was just doing a visual with that thing, Any suggestions on batteries welcome please.

Tacocat, I just so happen to have a set of very good chrome wheels and tires (well the tires are not chrome) that you can purchase inexpensively- I'll even throw in a swank hat with a peacock feather that I stole from some guy named Huggy-bear!

Almost there- This shot shows the order of the washers and spacer at the top. There's no need to paint the bracket because it's stainless steel, but the attaching hardware is not. When it's all done, just slap it back together and life is grand! Well, I hope that wasn't too boring and please...

As I was saying... the coolant tank slides right in. I threw a battery in the box just to take up space, but it's the wrong type and the wrong size. Now tie for the washer bottle relocation. I tied to take pictures in order because.... well Then remove the 2 12mm bolts holding the cruise...
