    Silicone hose sourcing/availability?

    I’m trying to update the cooling system hoses on my ‘96 80 to all silicone. I’ve gotten most of them swapped, but I’ve been having some trouble with the smaller sizes. Does anyone know where I could find/who makes 9mm heater hose? I bought a length of 3/8 inch (~9.5mm) but I’ve noticed a few...

    Possible oil pan area leak sources

    I hate to start a thread about it but I can't seem to find info via search on here or google. I have what'd I'd call a Class 2 leak on the underside of my engine. I'd imagine the pan and or main seals leak, but I'm not ready to tackle them yet. There is a channel that goes under the pan in the...

    Advice on tying second fuse panel to ignition

    Hi- Today I essentially completed the majority of the wiring of a Blue Sea auxillary fuse box. Months ago, I installed two 12v outlets and ran the wires to the driver's seat. I ran 4ga cables from the battery to the box, but I'd like to also insert some form of relay to tie it into the...

    Air Conditioner Condensation Drain

    I'm having some water build up on the passenger side floorboard of my 96 FZJ80. I ran a good 5-6 feet of weed eater string through the sunroof drains, chased it with some water and a spray cleaner, and it ran clear, but it's still getting damp. I found the AC drain hose that drains to the...

    Tail light protection options?

    I broke my passenger side taillight today whilst not paying as good of attention as I should have. Are there any decent tail light protection options outside of a bumper with built-ins? I feel like the cage type ones that most Mall-crawlers have are flimsy and do more damage than good in an...

    Oil leak question

    I did the oil pump and crankshaft seal a few weeks ago (some may recall my posts regarding a tapping after completion which turned out to be the fan pulley which wasn't all the way tightened) and I think I may have worsened a leak possibly. I've noticed oil drops from the drain plug (aka the...

    Evaluate my HAM plan

    I am trying to piece together a HAM setup on my 1996 FZJ80. I'm going to list the parts/items I am purchasing below and would like opinions (point out things I'm forgetting or should do instead) on my plan. Step One will be to get my technician license (planning on it next week). Radio: Yaesu...

    MSR Windburner HOT DEAL

    FYI- I picked up the MSR Windburner canister stove from Academy Sports today for $72.99 (maybe $74.99?). Looks like it's retailing almost everywhere else for at least $110! MSR Windburner

    RTH Needed: tapping after oil pump seal replacement

    I've been struggling with various problems the past few days- oddly enough, the oil pump seal was the easiest part almost. I changed the seal, and while I was at it, changed out most of the radiator hoses. I removed the battery tray and fan clutch, and put almost all of it back in (as of now...

    Heater control valve assembly issues

    I was replacing my heater control valve yesterday, and Murphy's law was in full effect. In less than one minute I managed to somehow spring loose the actuator arm for the valve, then drop the valve assembly down the engine compartment into my full oil drip pan on the opposite side of the...

    Radiator Drain Plug

    I know it's officially called another word- but can someone tell me if this is the OEM plug/same thread size? It's about 12mm in diameter. I'm trying to do a drain, flush & fill, and this just twisted apart (I think I found my leak though!) the radiator in my 80 has been replaced by the prior...

    Anybody use a Lodge Sportsman's Grill?

    I got one of these for my birthday back in November, and I love it. I'm considering adding it to my travel/car camping set up, but I'm not sure if I want to. It's obviously heavy, but it seems like it's gonna be messy too, dripping grease and spreading little bits of ash. Does anyone use these...

    Rear Quarter Panel & Courtesy LightQuestions

    Today I ran a cable to install a CB antenna- it exits out the carpet by the E-Brake and traces the fuel door cable back to the driver's side quarter panel. While I was rooting around in there, I saw two separate clear vent tubes- one seemed to be from above, and one ran below, but it didn't...

    Best speedometer correction option

    I know it's sort of covered in bits and pieces elsewhere, but I wanted more current opinions. I just got some Maxxis 255/85 16s about a month ago, and my eventual plan is 35s or 37s. I was wondering what the best options were for speedometer correction? I've seen that Slee used to offer new...

    Awesome outdoor gear resource

    I just wanted to share this website with you all. I've used it to guide most all of my outdoor gear purchases in the past year or so. It's a little lacking in the expedition/car camping department, but they've been gradually adding more reviews. They also do a good job of reviewing function and...

    Mileage Badges

    Does anyone on here know where to find mileage badges? Do they exist (yet?) I like how Mercedes and the other European brands have the mileage clubs and badges, and it'd seem like something landcruiser owners would go for. Maybe that's a task for the 3D printer guys?

    Leveling FZJ80

    I'm about to get some new tires in a few weeks, and am considering doing a spacer lift. Below are the measurements I'm working with currently, and I'm wondering what I should be looking for with respect to spacers. Currently: Front ground to fender flare center point: 33 & 7/8" Front hub to...

    Probably dumb timing questions, FZJ80

    I replaced my Distributor O-Ring last night, and it took a few tries to get it right (I hadn't timed a car in forever, and I put the ditributor in very retarded, and then too advanced. I finally made it sound right). Anyways, while I was at it, I went ahead and did the paper clip trick. 1)...

    Oil Pan/Main Seals Questions

    I have to add oil to my '96 FZJ80 more often than I'd like (Using Rotella T6 5W40 and Lucas Regular), and I know I have at least a pan leak. I plan to go ahead and replace the oil pan gasket. Is it easy to go ahead and do the front and rear main seals as well? Would y'all recommend doing it...

    Rear Storage Drawer Questions

    So I am hopefully beginning construction on a rear drawer system this weekend. I'll probably be using a similar design as Scrowley https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/rear-cargo-box-build.570478/ I had a few questions though- Do I really need a bottom? I figure if I could frame it well enough on...
