I’ll take some. I can bring a chainsaw- only a 16 inch bar but it’ll do some work.

I have a warn M and I have it connected with an Anderson plug to the battery. Whenever the Anderson plug isn’t seated correctly with good contact, it makes the same noise. So yeah, I’d start with checking the main positive and ground connections and then take the contactor apart to check the...

So, I received a Auxbeam switch system for a Christmas present and have been struggling to find a place to mount the fusebox in the engine bay. Here is what I have tried so far: -Inside the battery box- too thick. The 8 gang fusebox would fit here ironically. -DS firewall- provided battery...

The issue seems to be a flooded engine. After cranking with the accelerator depressed for about 2 minutes (1minute on, 1 minute off- two newish batteries under the hood) it rumbled to life, shot out some black smoke and ran fine. Spark was good- just wet with fuel when pulled initially. Could be...

Also, I briefly checked the fusible link. Did not look crispy or anything and is fairly new (~14 months). I have a spare in the glovebox so I may try that if anyone believes the CEL ON/ starter cranking is consistent with a bad link, which I don’t think it is because there would be no power to...

Crank No Start (click for video) Let my trusty 80 sit for a week while on vacation (I rented a Bronco, so this is cosmic justice.) Started it up yesterday and got about 400 rpm and then it died. Subsequent start attempts were just cranking with no start. You can see the CEL on when the key is...

I’ve got a serial hub cover thief in my neighborhood! Looking to replace the most recent theft with an OEM 80 series cover, preferably the silver one, with a black center and gold Toyota sombrero in the middle. I’ve bought from cruiser yard but I can’t afford to keep replacing at $45 a pop! Thanks!

I’ve been sitting on a dual battery kit from HuddExpo for a while now. Recently got a great deal on an aux battery, so now I’m itching to get it wired up! The hang up is that the kit didn’t come with a grounding bolt for the aux negative to engine block. Anyone out there have a kit in there...

Ah! Should have read the fine print more closely!

What about the license plate holder???

Should have read the date on the OP just like I should have checked the terminals first. I see a pattern developing here. Anyway, hopefully he’s got it figured out by now.

2x on this. I chased this problem all over the engine bay. In the end, it was a loose positive terminal. 🫠

Closing the loop here. I received a new hub from PartSouq last week and installed on Friday. Fortunately, de burring of the bent hub saved the dust oil seal behind it and I did not have to replace it. New hub is so fresh and smooth! Oil seal went right in. Replacing the hub was easy. Writing...

I’m in the “ideal” camp. Partsouq has them at a reasonable price. I’ve maxed out my cruiser budget for the month, so I’ll be making the purchase when I get my next paycheck. HUB SUB-ASSY FR AXL Part number: 4350269046 Can anyone confirm that’s the correct part? Looks like it comes with wheel...
