    PWR button is not working.........

    Today I noticed my '97 fzj80 was taking off sluggishly and looked at the dash and noticed the PWR light was off even when the button on the console was depressed in as ON. I turned it back on and off a few times at a red light but the PWR light on the dash didn't come on at all and the truck...

    CCA or RC.....what's more important?

    I went out to get a battery for my FZJ80 last evening, looking for a 27F, per the factory recommendation, in an AGM type. The only place that carries a 27F in an AGM near me is Batteries+ in Thousand Oaks, the epicenter of bar shooting and wildfires of late. And they didn't have the battery in...

    Strange oil problem I have never seen.....

    I got an oil change to my 1997 rig on October 13th at K&H Imports, but a week ago the oil light came on, which was unusually early. Never happened before. I was amidst a busy schedule, so I just poured a quart of oil as I normally do and went about my business. Today, I made plans to drive to...

    Rear Window Washer Jet Nozzle Damage.....

    A low hanging garage door took out the rear washer jet nozzle from my rear hatch as I was reversing out. I found the nozzle piece which looks to have been torn off from the assembly buried inside the panel. Does anyone know if this is fixable in any way? I hope it won't need the whole rear hatch...

    Pesky CEL before Smog Check.............Aaarrrghhh

    My rig is due for a smog check and the P401 code appeared a month ago. I have been driving it with the CEL on, due to a busy schedule at work. I did clear the code a few times with the UltraGauge till it wouldn't stay off anymore. So I let it be. But now, it is Smog time! Today, a friend...

    For Sale  Old Man Emu 3" Lift Kit.....BRAND NEW IN BOXES

    *** SOLD *** I have decided not to do the lift at this time, and plan to sell off what I recently bought on a whim (on the 14th of October 2015). I have been busy with work and haven't even bothered to take them out of the boxes to peek in. Everything is still in their original sealed packaging...

    Sway bar Drop Brackets for lift?

    I am ready to do a 3" OME lift on my '97 LC. I am told by some that I need a sway bar drop bracket and others tell me, no need. Which way to go? I am running 33" tires at the moment and don't intend to go beyond 35" tires, IF THAT..........EVER. So, are drop brackets dependent upon tire size...

    Cost of a suspension lift......

    Hello all I am thinking of the next mod for the truck, and a lift seems to be the most logical one. As my upgrade plans, I have installed EBC Green Stuff brakes all around two weeks ago, with EBC rotors that are slotted and dimpled (not cross drilled fancy and rather pointless for a truck this...

    Transfer Case switch part #

    Hi everyone While getting some work done on the rig at a Toyota dealership, I asked them to swap out the two original Transfer Case switches with the ones I just bought (Beck Arnley, part # 201-1788). The shop foreman said, only the front transfer case was the right fit, but the REAR is...

    Driving Like I Stole It...........

    I am not asking a technical questions this time, but after replacing a whole lot of components with Toyota parts as a part of my PM in my 18 year old LC, I feel more confident taking this truck to faraway places and am happy to drive, drive and drive, like I stole it. Original parts lasted 18...

    I am thinking of a mod....(with CGI mockup)

    I am thinking of adding cabin roof lights to my 80 to give it a more utilitarian look. Has anyone done such a mod here? I have always thought they look cool on HUMVEEs and H1. Here is one on a FJ: http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/3/2505/201/31260100013_large.jpg And they sell some...

    Truck rolls while in gear......

    Well of course it should roll, but mine was rolling forward while in reverse gear facing a downhill slope. And not just a little roll, but as if the gear was in neutral, and was picking up speed. Engine on. Street was much like San Francisco streets with a steep grade. Same thing happens when in...

    Diff Lock and CDL are not talking to me anymore.....

    I just got a whole lot of PM done on my 1997 LC. Installed new water pump and fan clutch (both from Toyota), fixed two major leaks in the oil pump and front main seal, and filled it with full synthetic oil. Changed out to brand new upper and lower hoses (originals were perfect. But oh...

    A strange problem with ignition......

    This just started a few days ago and I wonder if anyone knows what it might be. When I turn the key to start, all I hear is a click, and no start. So I turn the headlights off and nudge the gear shifter a little (still in park) and try again. I know this is as crazy as a UFO encounter, but the...

    DS Wing Mirror Replacement Suggestions....

    While driving on the highway recently, I got hit by a piece of debris kicked up by a car ahead of me. It smashed up the driver side corner-light and hit the wing mirror pretty hard. Fortunately my window was rolled up and it ricocheted from the glass, otherwise I would have probably been hit by...

    Locked and Loaded.......now what? (and other things)

    Hope everyone is having a good 2015 so far. I feel bad for CowboyUp's loss of the LC. But better the truck than life or limb. I am reaching out with some updates and seeking some advise/opinions about my '97 LC. For reference, bought it in Aug 2014 at 176,xxx miles and have accrued 182,xxx...

    1997 LC has high rev at cold start...

    Hi all, my 1997 revs up to about 1800 RPM with a loud roar when I first start it. Sometimes it feels like it is charged up and ready to climb straight up my garage wall ahead. I know it IS a capable 4x4, but I can't let it do that for many reasons. It drops down to 1100 RPM, like a well behaved...

    Got me a 80 series.....Again

    Been reading all the threads for the past 8 years since buying a 1992 FJ80, after getting rid of a Range Rover HSE. Never posted anything here, just read the forums and enjoyed the truck. It did not demand much from me and kept on going to a point where I respected it and was always sure about...
