    Temp Gauge 'flicker', 96 FZJ80 - 198k mi..

    So after I replaced almost the entire cooling system my truck would still randomly “overheat”. The gauge is just broken. Today I didn’t make it halfway down the road on a cold start when the needle pegged red which obviously meant I’m not actually over heating since it was like 43 degrees out...

    Replacing motor mounts

    i did both of mine at the same time. jacked it up from the bottom using a floor jack and a 2x4 on the oil pan. when i was done with that it was the same concept for the trans mount

    Replacing motor mounts

    mine were easy. it wasn't until i got them out that i found out that both sides were completely in two pieces. i also did the trans mount. took less than an hour id say.

    FJ80 Major Help!

    you really need to go back to the basics here and figure out what component you're missing whether it be spark, fuel, air, or compression. just checking random things with no real direction is going to get you nowhere. neither is just throwing parts at it... unless you get lucky which is rare.

    FJ80 Major Help!

    have you even determined what you're missing? an engine needs four things to run. fuel, air, spark, and compression. its probably safe to assume that you have air and compression but thats never guaranteed. crack a fuel line loose and crank the engine to see if you get fuel to spray out. if you...

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Spent today replacing my crank seal, fixing a lot of broken bolts from the previous owner, replacing the thermostat and gaskets, the radiator with an all aluminum one, and the radiator cap and finally put my bumper back on.

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Started putting my cruiser back together after raptor lining the top half of it (2 years late). Not putting the bumper on until I replace the front crank seal, radiator, and one of the belt tensioners.

    Temp Gauge 'flicker', 96 FZJ80 - 198k mi..

    Replaced the coolant sensor for the gauge as well as the connector. No change. Got a 3 row aluminum radiator on the way as well as a new aisin thermostat. I’ve seen 1st gen tundras and 4runners do this 1000 times. Sediment will build up in the rad and not allow proper flow. Hopefully that’s my...
