    wet highway traction

    Ouch, I don't like telling this story but... I was alone (lc) on the highway going way too fast during a downpour. I'd say I was doing about 75mph when I approached a medium size hill that strangely enough was turning to the left. While going up the hill traction was fine, but as soon as I...

    How many of you actually utilize your 3rd row seats?

    FWIW, I only use the driver's and passenger's seat, if a third person wants a ride, well they can just flop around in the back with the milk crates. Oh and what of this word resale that was mentioned, what does that mean? :D

    kick down problem solved.

    It's right next to the IAC... of course. :confused: Standing in front of your LC you'll see 2 funny looking cylinders on your TB, IIFC they both have electrical connectors. The one on the left is your IAC and the right is the TPS. If I were you I'd wait until you get your FSM, because...

    kick down problem solved.

    Well with 300k as fine as you would expect. I think with another 100k my LC might fall into a brand new land rover category thou?

    kick down problem solved.

    If I slowed down to say 10mph the transmission would drop into 1st, but if I pressed on the gas peddle more than 1/3 it would spin freely then 2nd would grab. This usually would occur slowing into a corner and then accelerating out. I have a 93 with almost 300k and had this problem for...

    kick down problem solved.

    I've played with the kick down cable till I'm blue in the face, matter of fact it never changed a thing in my case. Yesterday I noticed that while cruising up a hill my transmission downshifted really easily. Normally I drive up that same hill on cruise control. That got me to thinking why...

    BFG 305/70 A/T KO Tires - Report on Fit & Performance

    Nope. I'm running the Nitto 305's and via GPS I'm speedo wise spot on. :flipoff2: The stock tyres are way under geared.

    Highway stalling/bucking.

    I've powered washed by 93 ~10 times and it's never done what you described (bucking) and mine has 300k miles. The BG44k has made a small, smoothing, idle improvement, but so has the cheap wal-mart stuff. The FF is a pain to replace and didn't do squat for me, good luck to you. My...

    $10k 97 Fzj80

    I have 2 80 LC's, my 93 with very close to 300k miles is running quite good for the repairs put into it. And. I got another, 96 with lockers 145k for $6995 and it's in great condition. The only possible difference between me and you is I'll search a year for the right price to vehicle...

    Is lockers worth buying if only mild offroading?

    Errrrr..... I'm not so sure that I'm smart enough to know when I'm suppose to engage the locker switch. Apparently my environment will not indulge me, at least up to this point? Anyone got an alternative planet, possibility meteorite pot-marked?

    Insurance + Old 80 series

    Look there's always more than one way to skin a cat. Have you ever heard of a PMB? Public Mail Box. I travel for a living, so I really don't live in any one location. My insurance is in Texas but live in Ca (neat trick, I should open a PMB in Florida), $300 a year for a 93 LC, $283 for a...
