Nice. Thanks so much for the info. Definitely seems like I’m on the right track with those bars. Do you happen to know the tent weights on your 2 bar vs 3 bar? I’m prally looking at a 180lb roofnest, so also trying to figure out the right support needed. Nice looking rig by the way!

Hi There: I'm thinking about adding a rooftop tent to my '93. I'm still running the OEM roof rack so planning to upgrade to a gutter rack/stronger cross bars to handle the extra load as well. I'm trying not to spend a boat load so steering away from $1K+ platform racks. Curious if anyone has...

Hi Mudders: I'm thinking about putting a 180lb Roofnest tent on the top of my 93 FZJ80. I currently have the factory rack on my rig and trying to decide if I need to upgrade my cross bars, rails, and/or entire roof rack system. Does anyone happen to know what the load limits on a factory rack...

Hi There: Does anyone in mudland have any recommendations for a good AC Service shop in the Seattle or Tacoma area? My 93 FZJ80 is no longer holding a vacuum in the AC system and I'm feeling too lazy to do the refrigerant conversion and replace all of the seals on my own. With summers...

Hi Team: Finally got the conversion part to fit the high pressure port. Seeing interesting readings, so thought I'd check in before blindly filling the system.... Static Pressure The Static pressure with the engine off shows about 30 PSI on the low side and 20 PSI-ish on the high side (see...

Thanks everyone. The red cap/red arrow definitely is the smaller of the ports. Thanks for the guidance. Waiting on a 3/16" adapter to fit the high side and will keep the thread updated on how the recharge goes once it's here. Is there any risk in recharging without first putting a vacuum...

Thanks, everyone. It's a 93 and definitely an R12 system. My new manifold gauge kit actually came with a conversion table so I think I'm ok with that particular question. However, being a noob to AC work, I figure it better to be safe than sorry on two other questions... 1) Sight Glass -...

Does anyone out there have an R12 AC pressure table for a 93 FZJ80? I'd like to understand what pressures my AC should be showing when hooked up to a manifold gauge. I may have leaked a bit of freon over the years and want to figure out how far off I am from optimal pressures. Thanks in advance!

Thanks, Guys: I'm at 145K on the odometer and am thinking to send them in for cleaning per recommendations... Another quick question- Assuming the #6 is bad and I replace with a new one while cleaning the older ones. Does the new one need to be calibrated against the others older ones for...

Hi Team: So, I have been down a cylinder for a bit on my '93 FZJ80 and finally tracked it down to a toasted #6 fuel injector based on a resistance test. The other injectors' resistances are pretty close to spec. Is it recommended to replace all of the injectors at once or is it kosher to...

Oops. I need to add to the list of things already completed- changed spark plugs, replaced spark wires, checked distributor and rotor (seemed fine) :doh:

Hi Team: I'm kind of a newb to working on rigs, so hoping for some guidance from the experts on what I should check on my '93 FZJ80. I'm experiencing a rough idle and rough engine under load. It also feels like I'm down a bit of power, but I can swear by that claim. I'm not throwing any CEL...

Oh and PS- a week or so before the engine problems started, I did have a new to me torque converter installed as I somehow managed to break the input shaft on mine (still scratching head on that one).

Hi Team: I've been battling this one for a while with no luck. I have a 93 FZJ80 that's experiencing a pretty rough idle and distinct engine vibrations at highway speeds. The CEL isn't on and no codes are being thrown after jumping the diagnostic terminal. It also feels like i'm down some...

Thanks, Inkpot. I've never done a compression check so sorry for the newb question. If a cylinder was losing pressure, would I feel the roughness throughout the ride vs just when in idle? Probably an obvious answer, but again- I'm a newb :) Thanks in advance
