SOLVED! Spent hours looking around for any signs of scraping, checked the u-joints, engine and transmission mount, and pulled apart the brakes. Went back under one last time with a clear head and found the culprit. There is a little plate on the back of the tcase where the rear drive shaft...

Going to take it to my buddy's garage this week and going to pull the front wheels off and will be deeply inspecting the brakes. Had a similar sound on my tundra a long time ago that ended up being a tiny piece of metal lodged in the brakes. When I replaced the brake pads on the FJ80 months ago...

Definitely makes sense about the sway bar not having any effect on this sound. Was sick this past week so wasn't able to crawl under it but will be inspecting everything it this week, will keep you posted with findings! Thanks again for the help.

BILT4ME Thank you for the info here! It definitely seems to be engine torque related. I will be crawling under and inspecting the u-joints, motor mounts later today. One thing I forgot to add earlier, is that one of the front sway bar bushings is bulging, I already have the new bushings I've...

1992 FJ80 216,xxx miles. 2.5 OME lift About 6 months ago I did some light off-roading, and the next day I heard a slight metal scraping sound from the front end when I was leaving house. It only happened at low speeds when accelerating and went away when I let off the gas (I have never heard...

This thread also saved my butt. Just the other day I noticed my "hi" air setting wasn't working during the middle of a snowstorm...perfect timing :bang:, and really needed the defroster on hi for my front windshield. Luckily made it home before it got too bad. Ordered a few 909870200483 relays...

Hey @jonheld, I was definitely over thinking this one. Went down to the hardware store and just switched out the spade connector inside the housing and works like a charm now. Thanks for sending over that PN. Cheers!

Hey @Kernal good call, thanks for helping out here. I just cleaned it off and the only letters/numbers I can find are -amp 18. Couldn't find anything unfortunately when searching for that, but I'll give it another once over incase I missed something. I'm going to head to the hardware store...

1992 FJ80 3FE / 208,xxx miles Welp...today when I was poking around the engine bay I noticed the water temp sender wire plug (PN 8342020020) from the water pump was corroded. I touched it and it completely snapped off due to the corrosion. (See pics below) I no longer get a temp read on my...

Hi All, To add closure to this thread.. -Replaced fusible links, no luck. At least I got rid of the ratty 20+ year old ones and eliminated that fire hazard :) -Checked and cleaned all ground connections, no luck. -Triple checked connections on battery terminals, and back of alternator, no...

oof that doesn't sounds fun, thanks for the heads up on that. I checked out the wiring on the alternator this morning, and everything looks ok, all connections are nice and tight. Luckily no smoke coming from it, but will be keeping an eye out for that now

Thanks for the advice here, I checked out the charge lamp relay with the key on, and didn't notice any noises coming from it. Although, while I was listening for that, I did hear a quiet intermittent clicking noise coming from the alternator itself. Not sure if thats normal, but could be a red...

Hey jonheld, thanks for the response here, greatly appreciated. Went down to the store today and bought a multimeter. I tested it on my other car to make sure readings were accurate. Here is what I got from the FJ80 -Engine off- Battery reads 12.37v -Engine running- Battery reads 12.55v...
