https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/91-fj80-3fe-wont-start-no-spark.1346704/ Here's my thread on this problem; lots of good info and step by step incase your issue isn't as obscure as mine!

if i could go back in time i would've just upgraded to the 120amp or something along these lines! I had to make my setup work just due to the fact how much i had invested lol Would love to see more on your radiator setup though looks badass!

Here is the link from eBay from where i purchased the alternator; the ad says its a 90amp and shows images of the narrow mounting ears but look through the listing images and you'll see the the back plate i used from the ND alternator to make the 90amp fit in my 80 for the price could be worth...

Hey Jon Apologize on such a late response life has been a little crazy! So unfortunately I did a poor job with documentation for the alternators I have but I’ll explain it best I can! Unfortunately a lot of the images you see are screenshots from videos and I just didn’t get a good shot of...

Once all work was finished i installed and have no issues whatsoever! 90amp unit works and fits as OEM. 90amp modified alternator fitted to the OEM 80amp bracket ND alternator P/N (193081) Going to do more research and see if i can find part numbers for the ND 80amp alternator to see if...

After comparing all 4 units i noticed that the 90amp Toyota unit and the 80amp ND unit were the most similar and even bolted up together exactly the same. the ND alternator is very interesting considering that it is an 80amp unit but has no external fan like all other 80amp options you can buy...

After endless searching for a bracket that may not even exist i was feeling defeated as i did not want to grind up a brand new alternator to get to fit and decided i would do further research and just throw in a 80amp for the time being. i purchased another 80amp alternator upon the 3 other...

Howdy folks! Been a crazy few weeks of trial and error but I wanted to start a thread explaining how I got the 90amp alternator upgrade to work in my 91’ FJ80 without the typical grind and force to fit with the factory 80amp bracket method that so widely seems to be the only answer. Today I’d...

Going to dive into my FSM tonight, looks like my digital version stopped working so apologies if anything is redundant!

finally decided to dive back into this project this weekend ( stereo install so figured I’d dive into this as well since the trim pieces would be off ) and wanted to rule out if my gauge was no good or simply just a wiring/ ground mishap. Turns out the gauge itself shorted and got super hot...

Hey guys looking for some insight on the notorious non-functional oil pressure gauge in my 80 series. I ended up replace the oil pressure sensor and connector to it and got maybe 5 minutes of functional readings but even then it was very skewed and eventually pinned all the way to the top of...

So thought I’d come back to this thread to as I found my issue that ultimately wasn’t anything I was expecting So thanks to the help of Jon I went through everything possible in terms of troubleshooting for my no spark issue and ended up discovering my issue at the point of ECU doing...

Alright so I’ve got an update to close this thread out Turns out My LC runs and drives perfect! Due to my due diligence and being a total noob with this platform I’ve come to realization that the reason my truck wasn’t “moving” was as due to the fact that the T case was in neutral. Due to it...

Hey everyone! Now that my cruiser finally runs I’ve been slowing getting it road ready as this car originated from a scrap yard so a lot of TLC has been needed and numerous parts to be added back This is a 91 LC with the 3FE & auto trans with center diff only (US model) Some things to note...

Hey Evicta I noticed your location and I have the strangest feeling that I may have inherited this FJ80 as I also reside in Carson City. Was your 91’ two tone with beige and cedar brown?? It’s my profile picture! No joke I’m having the same issue and feel like this might be your old FJ lol
