    Best Alternative to OEM Washer Lug Nuts 90942-01077

    I need a new full set of wheel (lug) nuts because my originals were in pretty rough shape, and the stripping and refinishing job I tried two years ago didn't last. They're now rusty red, and I'm not ok with that. The problem is, OEM wheel (lug) nuts are now about $7 each. The absolute cheapest...

    Windshield Gasket & Cowl

    18 months ago I had some minor rust repair done above my windshield and the body shop subcontracted the glass replacement out to a third party. I provided the OEM glass & gasket along with the FSM instructions for windshield replacement. The guy didn't follow them and I got water through the...

    Spring Spacers

    Hi guys, I just installed an ARB & Warn 16.5ti on my '97. Install went pretty well. I'm still on the stock springs with Rancho 5000 shocks that are about due. I'll swap in a 2.5" lift in 6-9 months, but the funds aren't available today. In the mean time, I'd like to stall a set of spring...

    Automatic car wash removed LX door panel

    My dad drove his '96 LX through an automatic car wash and the dryer blew the driver's door panel clean off. The white clips that pop into the metal door skin seem fine, but what's difficult to tell is whether the plastic those clips engage are a second set of clips or if those black plastic...

    Is there still a place for the ARB Front Bumper?

    I recently ran across an unusually good deal on the ARB deluxe bumper, so my dad and I ordered two to put on our 80s. I have a Warn 16.5ti winch I plan to shoehorn in mine, and don't know what his winch plans are at this point. Now I'm having second thoughts. There are a lot of threads about how...

    80 on 305/70r16 Cooper STT Pros - what tire pressure?

    This is a repost from the wheel and tire section because there doesn't seem to be much activity over there. About a thousand miles ago I put a set of Cooper STT Pro tires on my locked '97. They are 10 ply, size 305/70r16, and were installed on freshly powder coated factory wheels. Costco aired...

    FZJ80 with Cooper STT Pro 305/70r16 - what tire pressure?

    About a thousand miles ago I put a set of Cooper STT Pro tires on my '97 fzj80. They are size 305/70r16 and were installed on freshly powder coated factory wheels. Costco aired them up to about 50 psi, and I dropped them to around 40 first, then 36, then 32. At 32 psi only about 80% of the tread...

    Intermittent noise at start up, not just the typical rattle

    Hi guys, I have a '97 with 250k miles. It has the same startup rattle that every other 1fz has, presumably from the timing chain tensioner. In addition, it sometimes makes an additional noise that I'd describe as more of a knocking or clanking. It's inconsistent, and makes the noise once or...

    Using the Scanned 1996 FSM is a PITA

    I've had the .pdf of the 1996 FSM for a couple years now, but have always had a hell of a time trying to find anything in it. Searching the document in adobe seems to either provide 1000+ results or nothing, and I haven't been able to locate an index or table of contents to find things. It's...

    Old wheels, New tires

    Hi guys, When I bought my '97 two years ago it had a set of 18" aftermarket alloys installed and the original wheels in boxes. Just last week I sent the 16s out for powder coating and swapped the 16s back on with new tires. I then sold the 18s to a local guy with a suburban. The color was...

    Warn 16.5ti in an ARB Deluxe Bar???

    I'm looking to put an ARB Deluxe bar and a winch on my locked '97. I was looking at a less expensive, non-Warn winch, but found a deal on a new in box 16.5ti for $1k. It's a deal I don't want to pass up, but I'm also not interested in hacking up the ARB bumper to make it fit. I've used the...

    Fuel Injector Cleaning or replace with eBay rebuilds?

    I'm going to pull my 97's fuel injectors as part of some other engine maintenance. You can read more about my plans here: Parts List for Upcoming Maintenance - Am I missing anything??? My intention has been to send them to RC Fuel Injector Cleaning down in California. It would cost about $170...

    Parts List for Upcoming Maintenance - Am I missing anything???

    Hi guys, I'm preparing to tackle some PM on my '97 that'll occur in about two weeks. I have a parts list going, and I'd appreciate any feedback on what I may be missing while I'm "in there." I have the .pdf version of the FSM and have already spent a fair bit of time researching on mud. BTW...

    Replacement Windshield Tint

    My white '97 Collectors Edition is going into the shop in about a week for a new windshield, some minor paint repair, and a polish. The existing windshield is cracked, and whoever the PO hired to install it used an aftermarket seal that caused a bit of rust to form on an upper corner. I'm...

    Wanted  Complete set of Washer Lug Nuts for 1997 FZJ80

    Diagnosing a front end knock

    My '97 has 246k. When driving over bumps with a window down I hear a clunk that sounds like metal on metal. The bump in the road could be as big as a speed bump or as small as a large crack in the asphalt, and it happens virtually every time. Front axle service was completed two years ago with...

    Coolant loss, suspect hose clamp

    I have a '97 fzj80 with 240k. Coolant level in the expansion reservoir is about 1-1.5" lower than the last time I checked a few months ago (still within the hi/lo lines). Since then the ambient temperatures in our area have dropped about 30-40 degrees Fahrenheit. I also have the typical small...
