I actually keep a pair of mouse traps in my rig to handle those subversive vermin. The deceased shown in this photo was responsible for putting the munch on a bunch of my camping groceries including my Smore stuffs.

You are right, nice catch!! 2003 100 series and up have the correct transmission. I'd love to do that swap. Thanks!!

Thanks for the responses. They helped me make my decision. Unfortunately, this was not the rig for me. It had wayyyy to many issues for me. Buy if anyone from the 80 crowd is looking for a transmission to do that new Cruisers & Comapny transmission swap then this could be a super donor.

Hello all!! I am currently enroute to meet a person who has a 2000 100 series for sale for $1,500 dollars. The seller states the vehicle has a bad issue with one of the front brakes and the rig barely has any stopping power. The rig looks rough but it runs and drives. It has 360k on it...

Ironman adjustable panhard. $140.00 to my door. 1 hour install including re-centering my steering wheel.

Now that is a great feeling. Accomplished the same just recently. It took me quite a while longer to accomplish. The last leak I fixed was the engine oil level sensor. ha ha. Good job.

I rented a big A$$ torque wrench from Autozone and got the job done on 2 FZJ80's. it was cheap and not terribly hard to get done.

I just used the same press tool kit to replace all of my suspension bushings also. Great tools. Some of those bushings sounded like gunshots when i was pressing them out and they finally let go. the first time it happened it was shocking.

Good work. I was super freaked out about doing it. I have done this for two rigs now. Good job jumping in there and getting it done. You can handle the O ring when you do the valve cover gasket!! Easy peasy!! Joe

I am with you. I'd love to rebuild one of these in my garage. OR I could drive up for a visit and be a student!!

Holy Canoli!! Way to go.

what are you asking for it now amigo?

i have 6 of them so splitting one off would not be an issue.
