SOLD
First $12,500 takes it.
1996 Land Cruiser FZJ-80, 178,000 miles, factory lockers, originally a California vehicle that spent last 10 years and is currently in Southern Arizona. Interior and exterior are in great shape. Vehicle has no rust and paint is in great shape. Always garaged...
I promised a reply when my purchase was complete.
I ordered on Thursday at 3 pm, they shipped it on Friday and I received it on Saturday. Not bad, even given I live in Tucson and they ship from Mesa.
ScanGaugeII arrived new in box, with gauge, cable, some velcro for mounting and a very...
I spent the last week or two exchanging emails with Joey, who works marketing for Linear-Logic, the manufacturer of the ScanGuage II. This is the ultimate engine code scan tool and real time digital gauge/trip computer that many on this forum rave about for use in our cruisers. To check it...
After a check engine light on a recent outing, I'm ready to get a ScanGauge II to read and reset codes, but I'm also interested in the gauge functions it provides. From the ads, it looks like the features vary according to year, make, and model of the vehicle it is installed in.
Can anyone...
Looking for a positive recommendation for an alignment shop in Tucson. Recently got OME 2.5 inch lift installed on my FZJ80 and want to ensure it's still within specs. Looking for a place that will take the time to dial it in correctly (if necessary) but not overcharge to get it done.
Any...
Reassemble the housing using the 5 screws you removed. Reattach the 3 wires into the adjuster and insert the mirror onto the metal mirror assembly. Attach using the screw through the bottom of the mirror housing. I would say this is a two banana job. It takes more patience than mechanical...
For the final adjustments to the hanger tab, I removed the mirror housing from the door by removing the 4 screws inside the housing and 1 screw from near the door. The housing can be easily removed, giving clear access to the metal mirror assembly where the mirror adjuster attaches.
Finally, I used a wood rasp to shape the outside edges and flat surfaces of the hanger tab until they were the right shape to fit back into the mirror housing.
Allow the JB Weld to set up for 12-15 hours per the instructions. Now it’s time to work the JB Weld into the shape you need.
Remove the clothes pins and cardboard. I found a sharp exacto knife worked well. I also used the exacto knife to form the rough shape of the hanger tab and then...
As the clothes pins are drying in place, it is time to prep the JB Weld. Follow the instructions and mix enough to fill in the area of the missing hanger tab. Allow the JB Weld to partially set up so it is still thin enough to flow into all the areas and adhere to the mirror adjuster, but not...
Next I built the “forms” for the JB Weld to be poured into. I added some thin cardboard below the tab and used a 1x2 as a base to secure it. Rotating the mirror adjuster allows you to add tension and squeeze the cardboard between the hanger tab and the 1x2.
To try to beef up the strength of the JB Weld, I add some reinforcing--a sewing pin bent and sized to fit in the middle of the soon to be poured hanger tab. I heated the pin to allow it to melt and be poked through the bottom of the hanger and clipped it to size. A more determined person might...
I finally got tired of seeing my passenger side rear view mirror wiggle on every bumpy road and decided to fix it. Like many others, one of the top two hanger tabs broke off of the mirror attachment/adjuster and resulted in only two of three mirror attachment points keeping the mirror attached...
