    Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003 long term review.

    I went with 315's for my 40th, and will be doing a 2" or 3" Dobson lift as soon as David gets back from Overland Expo. Because I'm on the stock suspension, I won't be taking it off road for the time being, but once the lift is on, you betcha that'll happen. So for now, here's my how my first...

    Front brake pads sitting high on the rotor and a very hard to diagnose creaking from the front end.

    OK guys, few and far between am I not able to figure things out and this one has me at a loss. I spent most of my free time yesterday and today searching and reading the FSM, and after coming up with dead ends, it's time to make a post about what I have going on. I'll finish my preamble with...

    Plug screw on the back of the PS pump backed out; need replacement.

    Gentlemens. So it seems that the plug screw on the back of my power steering pump on my '97 backed out and went out on its own adventure. Here's a thread with a picture of the hole I'm talking about, for reference. Power steering pump It happened about 40 miles from home, and I had no choice...

    Electrical differences between FJ and FZJ?

    Long story short, I have a mechanically sound locked '95 with a pretty big rust issue on the body. I have access to a cosmetically clean '91 for a ridiculously low price and am considering a dash and body swap. That is, swap my '95 dash into the '91 body, then put the '91 body on the '95...

    Transmission shifts into 4th gear in high range, but won't in low range.

    A buddy just picked up a stock '95 with 275k miles. It's in decent shape mechanically other than not shifting into 4th gear when in low range. When it's in high range, the transmission shifts through all gears, locks the TC in 4th like it should, and when the OD button is released, it will...

    OBA/pneumatic/compressed air questions.

    Gentlemen. I have completed a York OBA setup on my rig, and I'm having some control issues. My setup is probably quite a bit different than the usual in that I designed it to perform both air down and air up tasks automatically, so please allow me to give a brief rundown of how it works before...

    What would you pay for a clean left hand drive HDJ81?

    As the title says... clean, bone stock sub- 175k mile left hand drive '95 HDJ81 with a manual and factory lockers, no body rust, minimal undercarriage rust (nothing rust converter can't cure), no leaks, no grinds, no unusual noises, and a clean interior without any cracks in the plastic or...

    RTH! Putting gas in the tank!

    Guys! I'm at the pump right now and I've put about 12 gallons in, but I'm not sure how full I should fill it up to. How much do you usually put in? I don't want to top it off because the extra weight will reduce my mileage, but I'm tired of stopping for gas every 100 miles. What do I do? Should...

    For Sale  80 series: Depo clear corners and turn signals + OEM head lights.

    I bought a set of Depo lights to do a projector retrofit in, and don't need the clear corners or turn signals. They're brand new in the box, only opened to take pics. $75 + shipping. The headlights are OEM, in good condition, and from a non- wrecked '95. They don't have any cracks, chips...

    Metal Tech front spacers and Man A Fre rear spacers install thoughts.

    After much internal debate and reading the "If I could do it again" thread, I decided that rather than an OME 2.5 lift, I'd just throw some spacers at the truck. Measuring from the axle to the fender showed the rear 0.75" taller than the front, so I decided to go with MAF 30mm (1.18") rear...

    Wanted  Front body mounts located under the radiator brackets from an 80 series.

    I'm doing a body lift, and mine are toast. I'm hoping someone has a pair laying around. New, used, doesn't matter as long as they're serviceable. The part I need is in the diagram below, part number 52201A. I need two of these. Please PM or reply with the total price to include shipping to...

    Heads up on and a review of the Trail Gear heavy duty steering kit!

    So first, the heads up. Long story short, if you're thinking of buying this- HANG ON because they don't include hardware vital to its installation! Long story long, the OEM stabilizer uses tapered studs similar to the tie rod ends to connect to the truck and left hand TRE with the hole in it...

    Question for anyone that has the OME OEM springs.

    How much did they lift your truck by? Specifically, if you're bone stock, what's the distance from the center of your wheel to the top of the fender opening front and rear? I was under my truck this weekend and noticed that the front is only sitting about 2" or so from the bump stops, so I'm...

    Who makes LED bar roof mounts for the 80 series?

    I saw some folks in Australia make some nice looking mounts that clamp to the rain gutter, but am hoping someone here in the states makes them as well. I've done some searching and haven't found anything.

    2" lift options.

    When I first bought my 80, I was thinking a 4" lift. After having wheeled it bone stock with passenger car tires on it and seeing what it's made of, I'm seriously reconsidering a 4" lift. I just don't see it as being necessary for what I want to do. I'm looking at 2" and 2.5" lifts. Hey, OK...

    New to the 80 scene.

    I wheeled for about six years. I started in a '98 Taco with an IFS lift, open diffs and 33's. Moved up to an '81 with a whole bunch of overkill, then sold that and took a four year break. A couple months ago, a friend picked up a '96 80 series with a 4" lift and 35's. After one ride and...
