Good day mud, My 1996 LX450 has revcently developed a very annoying pinging chuch bell like noise. this seems to only happen while moving seems to happen in drive, neutral, and reverse. U-joints were replaced with OEM one less than 10,000 miles ago and the truck was re-geared by my a local land...

No worries, I don’t know if you remember me but we’ve spoken before in the phone, I work at that natural gas company you used to use.

I was having a similar issue and purchased a Koyo A1918 along with a land tank upgraded fan clutch. Changed the thermostat and water pump with OEM parts while I was there. Since then I haven’t gotten over 190 degrees on climbs. I’m pretty sure the old radiator was the culprit.

Welcome! Your kids are lucky, I wish my mother bought and FJ80 to take me on adventures.

Thanks for everyone’s input, this issue is resolved! I put in an OEM thermostat, OEM water pump, OEM belts, OEM radiator hoses and cap, Landtank modified fan clutch, and a Koyo A1918 radiator.

Hello fellow Mudders, a couple of weeks back I was ascending Stevens Pass (interstate mountain pass) and as I approached the top of the climb, I noticed the coolant temp starting to move from the middle, where it had always been, closer to the red. The FZJ80 had been up this pass and others...

Yeah, any time I engage my FR and RR diff locks I hear the relay do a pretty audible click coming from the kicker panel on the passenger side. as soon as I hear that clicking the front and rear diff lock indicators blink until the the diffs actually lock then the indicators go to solid red.
