1) Diagram of coolant hose layout where my hardline is instead a hose. 2) picture of said hose giving up the ghost

Hey all! I've been on a mission to replace my coolant system on my 80, and have gotten about 80% of the way done, mostly through Wits End replacement kits and enough orders from my Toyota dealer to make my head spin... But there's one piece that eludes me. My research shows that's on the 80...

Oh boy a free hole in my chest!

This struck fear in my heart

I've got one on the way. Thank you everybody

Thank you! Sent them a message:)

This sounds like an entity of great power

Would anyone be willing to loan me their crank pulley holder for a 1fz-fe? The starter bump method won't budge it and neither will my 100lb air impact or 300ftlb electric impact guns. I'm located in the California bay area, and I'm happy to pay you for your trouble shipping it out and back + a...

Given this information, something is still wrong then... Might be time to pull the reservoir cap open and clean out that filter. The only other thing I can think of would be the steering box itself has bad seals? Would any of the other hoses (the non-pressure hoses) be potentially...

Roger that, I still have the truck up on stands so I will get out there right now and get busy (but much more slowly!!) Thanks!

Here's a clip of the aforementioned noises. Thanks again! /R

Hey guys, I've been working on a front end refresh for my '94 FZJ-80 and I've been running into some walls with the power steering system. Originally, I was dealing with the loud whine and aerated P/S fluid, knowing that I would be swapping out components and that I would likely fixed the...
