I've been trying to remove the starter, so I can replace the plunger and contacts. I downloaded relevant documents from tis, reviewed posts on this forum and went with the 'removing passenger wheel' approach. It definitely was a PITA, but with the help of friend, I was able to disconnect both...

Well...if it quacks like a duck, it might be a fricken platypus. After 3 and a half days of starting awesomeness, I almost got stuck in a parking garage. This time, no slow degradation, it was instant. I re-tested voltage, 12.5 when cold. 12+ when cranking. I disconnected/reconnected battery...

Had a new baby to deal with, so was away for a bit. Thanks for the great writeup, sbman. It was easy to follow. The voltage was 12.4 cold and when trying to start, it ranged from: 11.5-11.7. I know you said below 10, but after a bunch of fiddle-faddle and my lack of experience, I just said...

No question is dumb when it comes to me and autos! The last check at the auto parts store showed the battery was still good, but that was 4-5 months ago. Maybe something has changed because of my procrastination. Good to know about the dash lights, though. My lights all go away after it...

Thanks a bunch everyone. I definitely appreciate the help. I re-read the electrical systems section in the manual and with your feedback in mind and things make more sense. I kind of re-evaluated things. When I turn the ignition to the on position, everything seems pretty normal (radio...

I was hoping for some help identifying what kind of alternator to replace my existing one. I went to a parts store and had them test because of intermittent starting issues. Their machine's results were that the voltage regulator and diodes(? i could be wrong with this name) were...

Thanks for the suggestions I cleaned it up over the weekend and it is indeed leaking transmission fluid. I see red oil leaking, but it's hard to identify the exact source. But it definitely doesn't look like it's coming from the pan. It seems like it's coming from what I shot in the pictures...

Well...maybe not quite that bad. :D Got a quote for $1100 to re-seal the Transfer Case. Seems high? I'm dumb when it comes to autos. I've learned a bunch from this site, but don't have the confidence to try something like this with my daily driver LC. I thought it was a failed gasket for...

Zombo '91 Pics didn't come through...here ya go.

Zombo '91 I've been reading info on this site for a little over a year while I built up Zombo. 1991 Land Cruiser - Paid $2900 185k miles Daily Driver Immediately had to do a bunch of fixes which included: U Joints Trunion or Birf (Sounds like something from the mines of Mordor)...
