    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Went for a drive into the mountains for Mother’s Day. Nice to get up into the hills after a long winter on the prairie. And yes that is a little bit of snow streaking through the frame in the pics.

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Just riding out an early fall snow storm. Somewhere under all that snow is an 80 wanting to get out and play!

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Installed some 30mm coil spring spacers to level the old girl out. Sourced some FJ Cruiser steelies and threw on some new rubber (bfg mt 255/75r17). Loving the look and suits us perfectly for the mild wheeling we tend to do. Decided we needed an overnighter away from the kids - so we lowered...

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    New visors. Went with some from an early 2000's Lincoln Continental from my local wreckers. Had to drill a few holes to make it work - but for $20 an an hours work it's nice to have functioning visors again. Bonus points for a perfect color match and the double visor function!

    Block Heater

    I purchased a block heater from cruiser parts to throw in when I did my head gasket. Pretty sure it was a Kat's brand. Couldn't get it to fit. Tried everything including trimming the screw and it kept popping out. Binned it and plugged the hole. Started everytime in -30 celcius this past winter...

    1FZ-FE Newbie w/big problem (no oil pressure)

    This is a excerpt from the original WIX thread: "I couldn't believe my ears, but nevertheless I talked to the district manager and he explained to me that they would not be able to do anything about it but he would like to look at the filter. Luckily I had kept it and all its contents because...

    If you're using a WIX oil filter read this

    I like the second one! Looks like there are definite QC issues w/some WIX products out there.

    1FZ-FE Newbie w/big problem (no oil pressure)

    I will take a pic tonight when I pick up the filter from the mechanic - he was smart enough to save it and resisted the urge to cut it open.

    1FZ-FE Newbie w/big problem (no oil pressure)

    Wish I lived in the land of $30 oil changes - $85 CDN here in the great white north. And up here they charge you if they have to top up any fluids.

    1FZ-FE Newbie w/big problem (no oil pressure)

    I agree with LS1FJ40 and Red Merle - a case of OEM Toyota filters are on order. Funny thing is: when I did my head gasket and other projects, every part I ordered was OEM - didn't even think of OEM when I bought my case of WIX. I know better now.
