Exactly as you suspected. Main power on wiring harness was burned on the EGR pipe. Once repaired and secured away from pipe runs without issue on steep inclines once again. Thanks for the insight, much appreciated.
Time to resurrect this thread. Last fall I burned up my fusible link on a fairly steep incline. Originally I had replaced it with just a standard fused wire and put a 5A fuse in there. The next steep incline I was on it blew that fuse. After much discussion on the pros/cons of replacing the...
I have a 1996 FZJ80 that will not start. Here's what happened leading up to it:
Had driven several miles just fine prior to going up a steep & rough incline (during a SAR mission of course), lost power, lurched a bit, engine stopped. At the exact same time, I smelled the distinct odor of burnt...
Glad this proved useful. I had to put a 4" strap on the front axle and hook it to the rear tow hooks to pull it back, once it shifted back it was pretty easy.
I got a Novita EP34 from AutoZone today ($12.99). Worked perfectly, back to the original blink rate. Just make sure you pay attention to E/B/L orientation and install the jumper so it's plugged in exactly the same as before. Minor trimming on the new relay and a little electrical tape to hold it...
Last weekend I did the cheapo Center Diff Lock Switch project. Got a free hazard switch out of a late 80s/early 90s 4Runner. Took about 10 minutes of work with the exacto knife, and it was plug-n-play. Works great! Also did the Pin 7 mod at the same time. Now I just need to find a suitable...
Just got off the phone with my buddy, he thinks the vibration was primarily due to the XML tires. He said that the lockers were there but weren't hooked up or working, and also mentioned that one of the front control arms was severely bent. He also thought it wasn't a true Slee 6" lift but some...
Honestly don't recall if he told me any further details beyond that statement of "horrifying over 30mph". Said very rough overall and birfs desperately needed service.
My buddy from Phoenix actually drove up and looked at this about a year ago. He said it's in really rough shape and is horrifying to drive over 30mph. Still...at that price...
My kit does have the adjustable rear uppers, however, the noise is in the front. I think my front DC DS angle is > 1*...I still need to test it by pulling the front, but I am 99% sure it's the DC that's vibrating.
