That's correct, the SC is still in the box. Everything else is installed. I would have already had pics but I forgot that I don't have a digital camera anymore. Some local members are looking at my truck tomorrow, but if that doesn't go anywhere I'll add some pics and more info.

:crybaby: Due to eminent marital status change, I must part ways with my trusty 96 FZJ80. It has the folling equipment mounted or still in the box, and is located in St. Louis, MO. BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A Load Range E ($800) TRD SuperCharger (Still in box, opened once to inventory parts)...

Thanks for the info and link. I've taught myself quite a bit about the suspension and drivetrain with the help of this site. I've been leary of any engine or tranny work. Mostly because other than the oil leak, recent P0401 and a starter rebuild this truck has been very solid. Not bad for...

Not just the blower but some leaks as well I bought the blower from dan from this site. I have an oil leak near the front of the block. I am not sure exactly where it is leaking from, but it looks to be near the main pully on the crank. I'd like to take care of that before I bolt on the...

I think I met ExtremeToy1 last summer in the parking lot of the Bass Pro shop and he told me a little about his project vehicles and the Gateway TLCA club. I have an 96 FZJ80 with 200k miles 3" lift and am ready to add a TRD blower to it. The blower is alread purchased but first I am looking...

Now it won't start at all. Now I'm bumm'n

My 96 FZJ80 with 195k miles is misfiring when I drive on rough pavement or when I drive over any kind of bump. As long as the road is smooth I have no problems. The problem has been getting progressively worse. I have recieved a P0401(EGR Error) code once, and several P0300(Engine Misfire)...

Just clicks no turn over Thanks for the reply. My TLC is a 96 FZJ. When I turn the key you hear a clunk but the starter does not turn over. It is very similar to when I have had a bad battery(current battery is 2 months old.) Like the solenoid is energized but not enough juice to turn the...

Follow up If it is just my stereo draining the battery. I was concidering a battery guard or a dual batter setup with one starter and the stereo on a deep cycle. Any prefered solution?

I am having troubles starting my 80 without a jump. The starter will not engage the first couple of tries and sometimes not at all. The battery is new and the alternator "appears" to recharge the battery just fine. I have been adding stereo equipment over the last 3 or 4 months, new head unit...

I knew there were things I couldn't learn out of the Toyotal Manual. Thanks

I could not get a torque wrench on those pin-style connectors, so I will definitly recheck them. Thanks for the advise. The shocks are Bilstein from the local Autozone.

I did not replace the steering stabilizer at the same time. I also feel the shudder through the floor. I was going to jack it up tonight and start wiggling things, but I wasn't sure what to look for, or if it would tell me anything at all.

This Newbie/Lurker asks for forgiveness ahead of time, but here goes. My '96 TLC runs smoothly off-road and on smooth highway, but small bumps cause a shudder/jitter to travel through the body and steering wheel. I recently replaced my shocks and am wondering if I did something wrong, or is...
