Thanks for the responses, gonna check the grounds and get some butt connectors... and I love that Beavis and Butthead are still relevant.

I noticed my left tail light was not working, opened the panel, found a rat had chewed through the wire (I live in a rural farm area). I wire nutted it back together and it works fine. Started checking all the other lights and I noticed this: Only while in Park, Only when the brake pedal is...

Was just having the same problem. I tried a puller and it was not working. Finally found the winning combination. Apply plenty of heat. Have a fire extinguisher nearby, you will start fires. Insert fork between mounting bracket and damper (where all the melted rubber and grease is). Open can...

I'm replacing the axle seal on my 91 LC and was wondering about the brass spindle axle bushing, is it suppose to spin? See center of picture.

Gonna have a shop take a look...ugggh

When I did the rebuild of the axle I made sure to pull those 4 studs on each side and locktight them back in. My brother had a problem with the studs coming out and it destroys the knuckle bearings. Everything with the axle is solid. I laid under the truck and had my wife turn the wheel back...

The last time I had a problem with the engine dying like that on my 80 it was the air intake. Check that your air intake tube is sealed from the air filter all the way to the manifold. If there is a crack in it or one of the hose clamps is loose that could cause it to die. I found a crack in...

My 91LC 3FE is having a steering problem. Came on all of a sudden when I got on the highway. If I steer to the left the wheel operates normally but if I steer to the right I get a 1/3 of a turn before the wheels react. I just did a complete axle/knuckle rebuild while replacing the third member...

Good tip on taking off the grill, wish I had tried that one.

I found a bunch of great tips from other users scattered around the forums about changing out a radiator but wanted to put together a thread with pictures for the (sometimes) hard to locate mounting bolts for removing the radiator. I'm a weekend mechanic by necessity so forgive me if I get...

My First LC 1. 1991 FJ80 3FE 2. Dustin 3. We haven't gotten that close yet 4. 167,000 5. ARB Front Bumper (pretty sure, looks exactly like it but no markings on it, guy before me had it installed). 32" BFG 11.5 6. DD/Work/Play

It was the large Intake hose that directly connects to the intake manifold. It had a huge crack in it! I duct taped it together and it started perfectly. Ordering a new one now. Thanks guys!

Low voltage plugs seem to be fine. Just saw another guy with possible EFI relay issues but I am not familiar enough to know how to identify if that is the problem or not. I'm not a mechanic but am willing to try anything. Seen that a good Ohm meter is a good tool for these things so that is...

First FJ80 Just bought my FJ80, 1991. It needs some work. Not sure what the guy before me was doing but a 2.5" lift, new wheels and tires will be coming eventually. So far love it but having some starting issues. Was looking at the OME lifts... anyone out there with one that would suggest...

VegasNick, thanks for the info. I may have been over zealous in my grounding methods, it was my first install. Great looking FJ!
