Hey Guys, Los Altos here...

PS I brought the parts to the independent shop myself, including those inner seals because I knew what the problem was. I also brought them my FSM to use in the process....

Doug, I did extend the front diff breather just after I had the job done by the Toyota mechanic. I will investigate this further with the clues and ideas that you guys have given me. Thank you!

Guys, My wallet is really starting to hurt. I have a '96 FZJ80 with 184K. I changed the front inner axle seals myself at about 90k which is about what to expect. Then again at about 150k, I had an independent shop do the job. I guess that isn't too out of line, though I would have hoped for a...

FJ40 poll I have an '81 bone stock, owned since '91. Right now she is sitting in storage in NY.

Thanks guys...I'll probably do the cheap oil thing and drain it...

Guys, I was innocently attempting to top off the gear oil in my transfer case today: '96 FZJ80. I was using one of those stroke pumps that fits into the oil container. Anyway, the nozzle came off the hose and fell into the transfer case. I tried to retrieve it first with a piece of tie wire...

Guys, I apparently have a leak in my AC line which runs along the firewall and under the brake booster. The dealership wants 5 hours plus parts to replace. Has anyone any experience with installing flare fittings on this or a similar hard line? I already own the new line. The reasoning is...

Clarifications Guys, I was really asking about the pipe sizing and any particulars related to the fabrication which would maximize power and efficiency. The current piece is 304 stainless. I may or may not opt to spend that kind of money again considering that I live in central California...

Guys, Several years ago I had to replace my exhaust Y-pipe because it had corroded at the joint. I had a local shop build me a stainless one figuring that, though expensive, it was much cheaper than the OEM one which you have to buy with the first inline cat attached. BTW, my rig is a '96...

Guys, No comments on Sea Foam as I have no experience with it. Sounds like a hassle to use, though. What I meant by having my injectors cleaned was the lame method of running some sort of fluid through them while in the motor. I have not yet removed them as many have discussed on this forum...

Clarifications Guys, Thanks for the comments and questions. I didn't explain in very good detail about the procedure I used and the reason that I think the Red Line product is so good... A couple of years ago, I had the injectors cleaned; previous to that, and not too far back in time, I...

Guys, I thought that I would make a few comments about owning and driving my '96 FZJ80, currently with 171k on the ticker. I bought it in Syracuse NY in November of '95, or--more pricisely--leased it, and traded in my '93 FZ, which I had owned for 3 years and 69k. This truck has not been...

171k on 96 FZJ80, all driven by me in 42 states.....with my previous 93, that makes a total of 240k 80 series miles under my rump!....and 5 other Toyoyta trucks besides..... Cheers
