Alright, I dove into the axle tonight and find out that the DS lock washer and spindle threads are damaged. I'm assuming this happened because it was loose and backing out (note the circular wear pattern on the lock washer surface). Looks like I'll need to purchase a new spindle assembly for the...

99% sure, yes. I've heard a u-joint failure before. It's not quite the same. Thanks, sounds like I would need a special "smooth" drive flange to totally disengage the axle. Yesterday I put the front end up on stands and took the wheels off to see of anything looked out of the ordinary...

First of all, I did try to search. I found lots of answers to general birfield questions, but none that answered mine specifically. Preface: I did a bearing & seal replacement at around 162k, now it has ~190k. I didn't switch sides for the birfs, however. I have been noticing a click...

Sorry, just now seeing this. These are from an '08. Still for sale.

Selling 4 Tundra OEM wheels my neighbor gave to me. Asking $175 OBO. Also open to trades (I'm currently trying to scratch a mountain biking itch that has popped up, and my childhood bike isn't cutting it). For Sale - ATL: Tundra 18" steel wheels (set of 4)

I'm also open to trades... let's work something out!

Saw this 80 (on the right) in the Publix parking lot last night in Lilburn. Looks really clean. Anyone on here?

Drive around the Tray Mtn. area a couple weekends ago.

Up for sale is a set of factory tundra 18x8 steelies. Bolt pattern is 5x150. Center caps and lug nuts included. Some scratches and signs of use. Not too bad though. Asking $175 OBO.

I do, but its grey vinyl. Let me know if you're interested.

Does anyone have or know someone that has a truck and trailer combo that I could rent/borrow to tow my 80 down to ACC Garage? I live in Lilburn, but the 80 is in Chamblee right now. I'm also happy to pay for fuel and lunch if they don't want to rent their truck out to a stranger (totally...

Hey guys, looking for some advice here. I've had my '93 FZJ80 for about 3 years now, and it has been great. However, I've been fighting cooling issues ever since I bought it (starting with the PHH, and now with an all new cooling system and a busted HG). The truck has 185k miles, and in general...

Here's a video of it starting up after sitting all night. It usually smokes a little bit on startup, but nothing like this. Yesterday it smoked when idling, but cleared up when I started driving.
