I have the 3rd one...but its blue. Glad you got ahold of that rig before mother nature had her way. Although, in the NW I guess that would have been another 50 years.

I just sent you a PM.

I have an 89 Volvo 240 that had something similar happen. I took it to my amazing Volvo only mechanic, first thing he did was test the battery (even though it started no problem for him yet wouldn't for me under the same condition). Battery tested fine. Later, he decided to put it on a longer...

I'm in the same boat. 88 with stock suspension and in desperate need of a better ride. the KYB Monomax look promising.

I agree, I love that look. Very clean.

Thanks for the reply on that. Everything I had read I thought they were supposed to be pretty smooth relative to a regular spring pack. Looking forward to hear how they wear .

I'm curious about those parabolics. How do they ride and did you have to move any mounts to get them to fit?

Black on white will look great, especially with black rims. Are you planning on tinting as well? De-chroming? Should look pretty killer. Looking forward to the final result.

Just to add to the debate. I have an 88 and I put on the 33x10. 5 bfg about 2 yrs ago. Zero issues. Gas mileage hasn't changed and I haven't experienced any rubbing. The big difference/ issues I think come when you get into the wider, and even heavier, 12.5 tire. However, I it appears that I...

I agree about those wheels, they look great! Very clean. Sent from my phone IH8MUD app

That's a good point. I assumed it was correct because I ordered it from Toyota and they asked for the year, make and model like usual. Everything except the corners fit fine (or the "U" at each end wasn't deep enough). Anyone know the differences between a gasket for an 87 and an 88? Sent from...

Picked up an OEM gasket as everyone recommended. Once the pan was off and cleaned I laid the gasket on top to check its fit. Each corner sat approx. 1cm off the pan. This is unusual right? Yet, I went forward with the install anyway and sure enough, when I was done, the "U" ends wouldn't sit...

You're missing 2 fender flares right? Maybe that has something to do with the wheels looking off. Do you have access to the originals? Not sure how difficult it may be to get ahold of some, sure that could effect the price a bit. Sent from my phone IH8MUD app

werrea- Hey man, I'm just across the river in Vancouver with an fj62. It'd be cool to meet up if you wanted to test the ride, it's stock springs though, and I've always wanted to know what a v8 drove like. PM me if you're interested.

I just replaced my oil, after replacing the oil pan gasket, cleaned it all out and it only took 6.5qt. Everything is running fine. I wouldn't worry about it. Sent from my phone IH8MUD app
