Got the new donor cruiser stripped and if anyone was, an 80 will nearly entirely fit into the back of a 100

I do like the color and year and the right amount of cladding lol. I’ve always loved the fender flares on these.

No, it’s a good question. My Lexus I had ran great, but needed the rockers replaced due to rot, the rear cross member was also rotted through as was the hitch, and there were maybe two straight panels on it. When I bought it, it was just for fun and something to wheel with rather than beating my...

I’ve got the new tranny solenoids in and same issue with it not shifting. So I’m thinking it’s gotta be electrical. Connections seem good, then I pulled the TCM 😬 I’m thinking this could be part of the problem. Getting all the stuff from my donor vehicle this weekend so 🤞

In the plan.

Interior is mostly hogged out now with some samples of mouse damage 🙄. Still need to pull the headliner which I’m dreading. I can feel nests up there. Debating on fixing the wiring harness or throwing a new one in. Also some of the extra wires I found that were laying live in miscellaneous areas.

Will do, I’ll have more pics today.🤯

After the wash: What the original donor was bought to contribute to:

What started out as a donor vehicle purchase for my 97 LX has now turned into a resurrection project. I originally picked Swamp Thing out of the woods where it sat for 4 years as it was one of the infamous "ran when parked" vehicles. At the time, I was looking for some donor parts, rocker...

Ok bringing this back. Solenoids 1 & 2 were tested and are fine, which according to the troubleshooting guide would have been bad. Next step I’m going to look at the wiring harness🤷‍♂️. Could it be anything else mechanical? TCM?

That's fantastic, thanks!

Working on my 93 resurrection project. The truck sat in the woods for 4 years and I now have it running and stopping, however when you put the shifter in D, the truck is starting off in either 3rd or 4th gear. If I shift to 2, it'll start in second. Shift to 1, starts in first. You can...

Many thanks! I do have the EWD so I’ll start chasing. I wanted to be sure there wasn’t anything else I was missing before doing that. It was a mouse hotel so I’m assuming I may have some compromised wires in some places. Thank you again!

1. Year and model: 1993 FZJ80 2. Name of owner: Rick 3. Name of rig: Jesus, you bought another one?! 4. Mileage: 202k 5. Mods: moss and mouse condo delete, plan on adding brakes and tires in the future 🤘 6. How the truck is used: it’s currently making sure I don’t use my work garage She sat in...

I’m bringing a 93 back from the dead after sitting in the woods and not running for 4 years. Originally had a crank no start which I determined to be the fusible link. Replaced that and she came back to life. Got her started, but none of the gauges are working, no hvac, no signals, no windows...
