I've got a '91 FJ80 with about 220,000 miles on it. I bought it earlier this year and since purchasing, neither the speedometer nor tachometer have functioned at all. The odometer does work 👍. I ordered a new speedo cable but haven't installed it yet, wanted to hop on here first. I have a couple...

Hi Guys, Pretty new to ih8mud but I’m impressed by the community! I picked up a 1991 FJ80 earlier this year and have been working with my mechanic to solve a starting issue it’s been having. Basically, sometimes the truck will crank and crank but not start. I haven’t been able to exactly...
