Well, I guess we learn this lesson another day. The local Toyota dealer hooked me up with only a weeks wait and I’m installing now!

Another Question: If i order Toyota 4 Cylinder 8 inch front spiders. Will they fit in the Diff? My understanding is that our cruisers have an 8 Inch high pinion and use 2 pinion gears in the carrier like the 4 Cylinder. But use V6 Carrier bearings. If that's the case, I should be able to order...

My pinion gear sheared off a couple teeth on the trail. The damage wasn't horrible because as soon as I heard it I stopped and pulled the Driveshaft and axles. I imagine these nicks are from pinion gear shavings since its only on a couple teeth. Before taking them out of the Carrier everything...

I’ve been working on a regear to 4.88s I noticed some pitting on my spider gears and just wanted to check with someone who is more experienced with these. I’m only asking because I’m having a hard time finding/getting the replacements. I attached photos of the spider gears, let me know what...

Hello everyone, I’ve been doing some research on the transfer case output bearing but couldn’t find a ton of solid info given these things are sturdy and don’t usually have any issues other than seals leaking. I’m on the road a few thousand miles away from home and In a pinch not having all the...

If you still have the corner lights off the 93 i'll take em!

Sorry for the long response here... i hadn't had time to work on the cruiser until today.. i got my hands on a compression tester and cylinder 6 had 0 compression on the test every other cylinder had compression... i'm thinking burnt valve or something... going to take it to a shop on monday and...

wow.. i didn't explain my problem at all.... sorry.... I do have a misfire and the brake pedal is rock hard until the RPMS are in the 2000-3000 (that was a bit scary). Since the misfire started at the same time as the brakes giving out. I had thought i had a bad brake booster and replaced it...

Hey everyone, I recently started getting a multiple cylinder misfire code on my 97 FZJ80. I went ahead and changed my spark plugs and there was no change. The plug wires are new. I can't find any vacuum leaks. And now I'm getting misfire codes for cylinder 2,5 and 6. I also have a code on for my...

Didn't mean to abandon my post, I've been super busy at work and haven't had time to work on the cruiser. I've been driving it as little as possible. But it definitely seems like I have a bad connection somewhere. After a little bit of a rough drive(bumpy dirt road) the other day it seemed to...

I'm not sure, he told me he never had any issues with it, but who knows. It definitely seems like the trans just doesn't want to keep 3rd gear. 1st and 2nd hold steady and shift well. Once I'm into third, depending on how much throttle, it will shift as early as 1500 rpms into O/D. Since O/D...

I just changed the 02 sensor today as it was throwing a code earlier. problem still persists though. I'll have to take a look at all of the connections and make sure they are tight and no corrosion on the trans, I was only able to check a couple last night.

Okay, so checked fluid everything is good there, the connections to the trans were surprisingly very clean. Unplugged anyway and double checked (don't have any deoxit at the moment) the check engine light had come on prior to this and was showing 02 sensor. Sensor 1 bank 1 code. Then it shut off...

Running in neutral and park right at the mark both hot and cold.

Standard dipstick check when hot. Is there another way I should be doing it?
