TY from NICA! (My friend Lance runs a surf charter biz here and gets cellular internet service when the skies are clear). Think i'll jack her up to check for looseness and for broken/loose nuts. Wish I had grease (good thing to put in the toolbox), but i don't, so hopefully there's enough...

Have found myself pretty deep in the sticks in Nicaragua with what appears to be a blown axle bearing. There is grayinsh sludge all over the ball joint, inside of the wheel and tire. People even tell my i smell bad cause it sprays up on the manifold. This just happened, but i'll have to...

Powderpig, Herd thru the vine you may be able to help me with some intel on a fan clutch problem. Something about a trail-fix using a string. Sounds intriguing. Please help. I posted earlier this evening titled Crossing Guatemala. Best, Nicacruiser.

got string Thanks for the help Beowulf. I'm in a '97 with an international straight six. The trail-fix anecdote sounds terrific. I'll try to contact the powderpig for more info. My belts are all new and tension seems to be fine. Muchos gracias.

Currently on route to Nicaragua in our fj80. She's performing great except for two things... She overheats when charging steep uphill climbs. I've tried putting her in 2nd gear and even low gear to no avail. But as soon as the terrain levels off or if I pull her over and set it in park she...

I've got dark grey leather jump seats for sale. They are in excellent condition. Asking $350.

m8000 If your winch is still available, I'll offer $425. It has never been installed?

Thanks for the feedback. I may take it to an aftermarket alarm/stereo place to see if they can help.

When I bought my '97 I only received a standard key from the dealer, however, there is a red bulb on the dash just left of the steering wheel. More precisely, it is centered in what looks to be a blank plate where a switch would otherwise go. Does this mean I have a factory installed alarm...

great looking truck, a buddy of mine has that same two-tone color. Is that an anniversary edition? Also, why the differential switch? My '97 doesn't have that. Congrats.

I recently ordered a mast kit and believe i may have the wrong one. It's part #86353-14332. The white cord attached to the antenna does not have teeth at all, it's just a smooth, round white cord. It also came with a chrome cap about the size of a spray paint cap. Appreciate any help...

Will they fit? Thinking about ordering some BFG 285/75/16s. Will a fifth fit under the carriage? Or will I have to carry it on top? Looks like my current spare, a 275/70/16, is taking up all the room. Also- I'm putting a 2" lift on my 97 cruiser. Is a 275/75/16 as large a tire as I can go...

getting an arb Where did you purchase the winch arb and what could i expect to pay for it. Is it compatable with all warn winches?

Also - how do i get in touch with Cruiser Dan? I've googled that name and don't come up with a web site. many thanks

Thanks for the advice LCphil. I missed exactly what you said about the white screw caps though. Is it possible to get replacements if they're missing?
