Were you satisfied with the performance and noise reduction with the boom mat? My 3FE 80 sounds like a tin can opening and closing doors and driving noise averages 74 decibels at 55mph with windows up and radio off. I don't even bother with the radio on most drives. Noise reduction is high on...
I pulled comps on a 92 FJ80 on cars.com and auto trader. The average asking price of the 9 I found was $13k. Picked mine up for $4k at 210k back in ‘15. She’s received plenty of attention since then and given me 35k miles so far. Plan on seeing 500k and taking her cross country. She’s given me...
I may be experiencing something similar. I can make it happen in overdrive. It happens in the space between driving and coasting. Not pulling, but not completely off the throttle. The faster the speed, the more pronounced the sound. DS? UJ?
I experienced the same with my 1992 FJ80. Tach has been dead as a hammer since 2016. Now that I’m regearing to 4.88 with larger tires, I’m interested in reviving this gauge. ACC garage replaced the ICM twice with aftermarket parts, and the tach died on both quickly. The problem requiring a new...
I have a 1992 FJ80 3-FE. I had a mom n pop shop see up a couple leaks and throw on a knock off muffler. Im looking to freshen up the entire exhaust system. Just wanted to see if this ever came to fruition.
I haven't bought it yet.
UPDATE: Local 4x4 (Scorpion Off Road) in Cleveland has been helpful and responsive, so I'm going to purchase the OME 2-2.5" Heavy Load Kit after work. The kit cost was competitive and their estimated labor cost was fair. Exactly what I was looking for. Now gotta load...
The ARB/OME authorized dealers I've found online are 1-2hrs outta town. Email is more convenient for me since the shops are gernerally only open while i'm working. I've stopped by one of our local 4x4 stores in town and looked at their suspension kits a while back, but i had recently replaced...
Looking for 2.5” OME lift installer near Chattanooga TN and pricing. I’ve emailed a couple places and got no response. I have a friend working in a small local shop that has offered to help, but it’d be nice to have a few options - especially with the steering and drive shaft issues that may...
I'm having the same problem on my '92 FJ80 (3FE). Needle stays in the lower third of the temp range, and the blower refuses to blow warm air. However, the A/C blows nice and cold. Now that the weather is warming up, I don't care as much about a heater, but it would be nice to be able to trust...
I just ordered the Wedge bracket with double locking slider for the FJ80 and a SCAT Elite 80-1100-52 from eBAY. Both front seats have seat covers on them now, but the driver is in much worse condition. I just chose to camouflage the new gray vinyl seat with the current seat cover, and no one...

"Layla"
214,500
Fully stock, no mods
She's our adventure rig for mountain biking, camping, and hiking trips
I bought Layla, my first Cruiser, July 2015. Most $$$ has been spent on necessities. We still have some things to address, but we're off to a good start. Meet my girl...
Noob here. I just picked up my girl (Layla) from ACC Garage for her first major assessment and repair since her acquisition in July 2015. She was a single owner, bought locally in 1992. 210k miles, with typical characteristics for age and mileage. I've caught the FJ fever, and I'm looking...
Welcome from a fellow noob. I recently joined the Cruiser movement, as well as this forum. 1992 FJ80 w/210k on the ticker. Pleased with it so far. Anyone care to elaborate on a $1 oil hole/leak fix I saw on a thread from 2004? My truck has an undeniable leak, that I haven't thoroughly...
