Thank you all for guidance！

Got it. I am going to check it cold with engine running， shift P-》L-》P，then check dip stick. Tomorrow I will drive it for 10+mile then check again. Will report back later.

Hi all， I need some advice. I changed my ATF last night and got my self confused. Searched forum beforehand and concluded 4qt for 95+ J80 People reported getting 3.6 to 4qt drained old fluid. And more for 94 J80 about 5qt.Then I looked into owner's menu and it reads 6.5qt. I drained and filled...

Thanks a lot. It is the same as rear differential as I bought the other day. See below： GENUINE TOYOTA GASKET KIT 12157-10010 TAKES QTY 3 TWO FOR REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND 1 FOR FRONT DIFFERENTIAL 90430-24003 TAKES QTY 1 FOR FRONT DIFFERENTIAL 90430-A0003 TAKES QTY 2 TRANSFER CASE

Need some help to find tansmission drain plug gasket/crush wahser part number or size. Tried FSM，amazon， ebay and searched the forum but no luck finding it. As I did not know how many times mine has been reused，I would like to get a new one. Thanks for the help.

It’s just a side comparison to help me understanding my J80 better. I didn’t know if that is strictly prohibited. :D

Awesome! I got answers to all my questions. Everything is clear now.~ Thank you all!

I found the owner’s manual this morning and read it on the bus to work. It covers most of my concerns very well. Adding some components (front axle, PHH, Rear main seal, fusible link and etc.) discussed in other posts, I think I am all set. Other than that, as responses in this post, check and...

As a proud owner of my 94 J80, I would like to keep my rig in shipshape. Also I don't want to hear my wife complaining something like "You said it's a reliable truck......told you not to buy something that old." LOL. So let's talk about maintenance issue. I started wrenching when I bought this...

Thank you all for awesome advices. I am getting BFG tire. My trips are more local than highway and performance on snow day is important.

I am at Costco shopping for tire. There is only BFGoodrich - All-Terrain T/A¨ KO 2. available 275/70/16 Originally I would like to buy Michelin Defender as I don't really do any real off road. My wife drive it a liitle bit and prefer comfortable one. Is it really going to be that much...

I had the same problem. I have tried these: Homemade Penetration oil Acetone/ATF 50/50 mix, and then chisel; Heat- Mapp gas torch and then Chisel (This works for a lot of people as I researched.) Eventually I have to use a handsaw to saw a small portion of the nut then use a chisel to knock...

Last Sat, I ought a 17’ Grumman on Sat, put it on my LC. Tested the boat for 2hrs and really had a blast!

Thanks. I think I am going to try home made penetration oil first (50/50 ATF/Acetone). It is said better than Kroil. If that does not work, then I will try mapp gas, if that does not work neither, I will have to buy a sawzall to cut it down. Hopefully all these will put an end to the problem...

Thanks a lot for all the details. It's very helpful. I got a 94 FZJ80 with 167,000miles. As of now, I suppose I need to replace the front pipes with the magnaflow 23120 setup. I guess I need to check if that is compliance with New Jersey's regulation. Also, I don't know if I need to put back...
