I'm looking for a front bumper for a LC FJ-80 1996. Ideally in souther california. thanks

Its been a while since my last post on this subject. I now finally got around to try and open the door. I got as far as removing part of the door panel and detaching the latch from the inside handle. I'm still unable to open the door. I think I made my situation worse, when trying to pull the...

I'm interested in buying a used front bumper for a FJ80s series. mine is a 96, I'm not sure if it matters. I prefer some one local in the Los Angeles, Orange County or Ventura California areas. If anyone upgraded to ARB or other third party bumper and wants to sell theirs contact me via...

I try again this weekend. I'll give the other tread a good read. Thanks for your help.. I keep you postd.

Tried to open the door without success. I took the pillar cover off partially. I couldn't take the panel off. So I tried to use a cloth hanger to see if I could pop it open to no avail.. Any ideas on how I might open the door. :)

The key works as normal, it locks and unlocks the door. From the inside the lock switch work as normal. However when I try to open the door from the inside handle, it feels like it is locked. From the outside the handle feels different when its locked vs. unlocked. When Its unlocked it moves...

I was wondering if anyone have any ideas on what could I do to unjam the driver's door. Yesterday I got out of the car and when I tried to get back in the door didn't open. All other door are fine. I have a feeling that something go loose, but now I can't open it to find out.. I will...

I'm thinking on getting my hands dirty with this issue. What kind of coolant should be used for this truck. The color of the existing coolant is brown and the shop I take it to said it uses a different kind, but I don't know which one it is. The cut is pretty small and I know a guy that can...

The LC is a 1996 The leak comes from a small cut. I have no idea how it happened, it pretty small about an 1/8 of an inch maybe longer. The truck is from SoCal. If its rusting its probably from the inside out. If that is case is this a sign of more trouble down the road? Should I get the...

This morning I discovered a leak in a metal pipe that seems to go from the water pump and runs along the engine to the back of the chassis. The pipe has a cut around where it curves down towards the water pump. I'm a newbie when it comes to car repair, I used to change the oil in my cars a...

thanks.. I'll give the Permatex a try for now, and then will look for a different glass shop..

Its raining in LA.. finally... Problem is there is some water leaking from my front windshield. bottom left and right corners, more from the right one. Is there a quick fix for this type of issue. Or the only way is to re-seal the windshield. I was quoted around 300.00 to do the job. Is this...

Thanks everybody.. I'll be taking the truck in for service this week or the next and will mention it the mechanic. After he does the service I'll monitor the oil level often and see if I can see how soon it starts to go down.. I really appreciate the responses. this is my first post in this...

My LC has 85k miles. at what milage should the gaskets be replaced?

Thanks everyone for your replies. I actually take the truck to a shop that only work on LCs. The first time I did take the LC to EZLube and they put the wrong size filter. Since then its being going to the specialist.
