Sold.

This is my rig. Sharing Craigslist posting here on Mud. Asking $7,500 179k miles Full maintenance history since I purchased in 2004 with 104k miles as 3rd owner from Toyota of Bellevue. Details, photos, & contact through Craigslist: 1994 Toyota Land Cruiser FZJ80

Follow up Follow up: 2 weekends ago I refilled the transfer with some 140W Valvoline gear oil. The "bearing" type noise did change in pitch to a higher frequency but unfortunately did not go away. It is most noticeable on a cold start when I first start rolling - it's a distinct whine...

I had a hard time with the soldering as well, probably b/c I didn't use any flux. Good luck on your repairs:beer:

4d, Re your first post - no I don't think the tabs should be touching each other. They are likely shorting the ECU which prevents it from delivering a spark from the igniter. They should be soldered to the contact directly below on the circuit board. The pics in the link posted by CJF show...

When I purchased my LC 4 years ago it had 103k and was completely stock. My goal was to have a reliable rig to get to trail heads back in the mountains. So I caught up on PM, then bought Bridgestone A/T REVOs (stock profile) and replaced the springs and shocks to improve the ride on rough...

Second Cj80's response. Get the 93/94 radiator with the 3-row core as a replacement. You may want to replace the fan clutch with the blue base model if your rig still has the original. Great time to replace the drive belts as well...

I replaced the heater control lights in my '94 while upgrading the radio. You have to remove the heater control module from the dash. There are 3 (iirc) lights that screw into the back of the control module. If you have a 91-94, the dash trim extends all the way to the left of the steering...

Thanks guys - I'll try some heavier gear oil and report back. CJF, The HG didn't go completely without a hitch. When I disconnected the air flow meter (VAF style), I unscrewed the connector and ripped the guts out of the meter. :doh: The truck wouldn't start so I freaked out for a day...

I have been lurking for a while but never got around to joining. This site was definitely a huge help when I replaced the HG last November. :cheers: I have been trying to diagnose/fix a driveline vibration issue for some time. I did some searching but couldn't find this exact problem. I...
