I don’t remember as well, but I do remember I did it wrong the first time. @artech Just check the stack up when you rebuild it. If the final large C clip doesn’t fully seat (youll know cause you’ll question if it looks fully seated) then flip the stack up and try again. Otherwise, what @SucioP...

I knew i must of missed it! Thanks again for the guide. Just finished mine up last weekend and she's operating better than ever and much quieter! Side note: I do recommend buying a Wit's End Emergency plug and throwing it in the glove box just in case. My plug blew out right outside of Steam...

This is a great guide, thanks for posting it! I may have missed it but I think there is a gap in the steps when removing the bearing from the shaft. There is a C clip (I see the part listed in the rebuild portion but not removal) that has to be removed (and will more than likely be damaged). My...

I chased a no start problem for a few months. After a new battery, I finally set aside some time to dig into it. If all of the above check out (correct voltages where they should be in the ignition path) take a look into the alarm system. I ended up having to bypass one connector on DS kick...

The engineer in me says these do the job but the perfectionist in me has to say that there is always a more elegant solution lol. Especially something that would better flow with the Rosen design. What did you have in mind? I can take some more pics to show a better representation if need be...

This is an interesting solution, pretty cool! I find that I can use the visor clip to keep the visors "tucked" when not in use.

Hello all, wanted to throw this out there about the stickers: I contacted some members on this forum and I found some information on the designer. As some of you may know, his name was Kevin and unfortunately he passed away about a year ago. I contacted some people who knew him personally and...

Also do you have an FSM? If not, get one! Wits' End Downloadable Files - https://absolute-wits-end.com/downloads/ There you will find the FSM and EWD. Once open, Repair Manual >> Drivetrain >> Suspension and Axle >> Differential Locking System, SA-101 to 106 goes over On Vehicle Inspection of...

This same thing happened to me when I went to purchase my '97 LX450 at 242k. The guy never used the diffs and when I tried to lock the CD, it just kept blinking. Its interesting you are saying you feel it locked. What I did was I went under the vehicle to where the transfer case is and pulled...

Ordered these today, called and mentioned mud and got the $20 discount. Spoke with Suzanne.

Aw man, I'm so sorry to hear that. My condolences to those who knew him here and his family.

Are these still available?

This forum and YouTube are your friends in this case. I just bought an 80 last week and took about a week of constant research to figure out the main points to look for. OTRAMM has a really good starting point for pre-inspection and as others have mentioned, the FAQ has a lot of good info. 80...

This is awesome info, thanks Jack! Just curious, has it been confirmed that 96940-34605 and 90947-A2016 are interchangeable? 96940-34605 is on backorder right now and 90947-A2016 is in stock. When i discussed with the parts house, they mentioned they are not, but i do understand that they can...

Just thought i'd throw an update into the thread: Thanks to the general wealth of knowledge here, I believe I have purchased all of the necessary soft hoses and hardware to replace/extend my lines. I am working on an ABS issue simultaneously but I will report back after I've installed these...
