Nope, it's a daily. The problem was that intermitantly, it wouldn't crank (click but no crank). I solved this for the most part by adding the relay and bypassing the ignition switch. However every once in a great while it still will do it. So since I don't want to get stuck (in particular don't...

So I have done the wiring bypass for the ignition that is often mentioned (94 delayed cranking. Starter, ignition switch, or other? - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/94-delayed-cranking-starter-ignition-switch-or-other.987114/page-1) and for the most part that works. However, I want to add a...

Quick question for any of you who have done this and know wiring. I've done this mod, it's easy (and you can get connectors to make this stupid simple). That said, has anyone added a pushbutton start between the relay and the solenoid? I ask as this would effectively bypass the NSS as well and...

Cool. Have come across is name before will give him a ring.

Hey, just moved into the area so figured I'd say hello. Now need to get my 93 FJ80 registered and have a CEL on (code 26 running rich). Anyone have any mechanic or shop recommendations. I know of CS Auto which while close to me seems to not have a lot of time for older LCs but outside of that...

Cool, thanks. I'll see if I can move anything under there.

Ok, I know what the codes are (rich mixture and knock sensor) but was hoping someone might have some more insight (aside from going down the list of everything in the FSM). No noticeable issues when running. Until just recently the CEL would do the following (now it didn't turn itself off). It...

Cool. Sourcing 3spd direct shift housing it is. Thanks.

I would like to go to a direct floor shift for the transfer case. Somewhere along the line a po put a floor shift in for 2wd/4wd selection. The hi/lo is a lever on the dash. My question . To do this I believe I need to change out the shift housing to a direct shift type (per advance adaptors)...

Yeah, MAF is closed for a bit. Sort of related question, when I go to disc, do I need to add the power booster or can I run the discs without it? I know I can, just not sure how big the difference is - again MAF has the mc and adaptor without power booster so wanted some opinions there.

I think it does, you just have to grind down a lip on the hub from what I have read and man-a-fre advised.

Cheers. OEM parts are less a concern (already has a v8). Good luck with yours as well.

65 FJ40 that i want to convert to disc. Before i get flamed, I've searched and haven't really found this comparison. Trying to decide between a man-a-fre kit or getting a full front axle (housing and all) from a later disc FJ40 (from marks off road) and rolling it under (both require new...

Great feedback so far.

Trying to get a read on which you all would prefer given these two options (and why if you are so inclined). 1) FJ40, original engine, no top or doors, orig. paint (largely). 2) FJ40, recently rebuilt V8 (SBC), hardtop, doors. good paint but not original -$1000 (maybe). Body good on both as...
