Evening lads,
I could well be exposing myself as the idiot I often am but I'm at a standstill and need some help.
I have searched partsouq, FSM and mud to no avail.
Does anyone know the P/N for the bracket that attaches the parking brake cable to this point on the fuel tank strap.
I stripped...
I just finished up fixing a minor rust spot on the rear inner wheel arch. To get the area clean enough for welding I had to scrape off a putty like substance which appears to be spayed over the entire wheel arch. The stuff is a beige colour and is on thick - like 2 or 3mm thick. Can someone help...
As many will know the fuel tank inlet pipe has been discontinued by Mr. T. My guess is that there probably isn't many good second hand ones on the market and going by the posts in the wanted section there appears to be a few people who were looking but no obvious sign that they found one.
So...
Hi everyone,
Does anyone have an ECU for a '96 80-Series that i can borrow to help troubleshoot a problem.
For what its worth the vehicle starts and runs but is currently in max ignition retardation mode. Can't barely manage to get to about 45mph and coolant temps well above normal. Problem i...
Looking for some ideas from the mud squad. I just swapped the badly damaged drivers door on the 80 with one from donor vehicle. Any suggestions on how to move the original VIN sticker to the new door?
I tried the boiling water trick but that just allowed the clear plastic protective film to come...
In the fuse box in front of the drivers knee. Called FL Power. Its rated at 30A and 32V. I can't find anything on the internet or on Mud so i am guessing it is not called what i am searching for.
All the auto shops are closed here for the night. Hoping to get one overnight from Amazon.
This afternoon I was helping a mate fit a replacement exhaust to his '96 80-Series. We did zero electrical work other than disconnect the O2's and fit a hall sensor to the output of the alternator. The battery was removed to give it a top up charge - he experiences laboured starting's in the...
Helping a mudder with his baselining. Found this metal piece which is jammed between the head and block. Would a head gasket let go like this? Truck is running well.
Any ideas?
Was having a chat with a new mudder and 80 owner earlier today and the question how long can you let your 80 series idle for? The longest I have done was about 6 hours with the A/C running. Assuming your cooling system is in good order I don't see the problem but not sure if oil starvation would...
I need to sell my LC80 due to a change in my circumstances. I will post it on Mud so that the good people here can have first dibs but if it doesn't sell quick it will be on BAT by the weekend. I picked this vehicle up back in March. It needed a lot of love and attention and I didn't hold back...
I picked up a new Bosal exhaust system from Rockauto. It came with the magnaflow down pipe/cat which was a nice bonus but in fairness the overall quality of the rest of the system looks top notch.
The problem I have is that every joint has some degree of exhaust leak - except the joint between...
Anyone ever removed the little quarter window from the rear door? Specifically i am trying to find out if it is possible to do it without destroying the seal.
Sorry the photo is sideways..
My searching skills didn't turn up anything relevant so apologies up front if I missed an easy find.
I have a set of stock aluminium wheels from a '96 that need a little TLC. Does any one know what the factory finish was on these wheels? are they power coated or just lacquered or maybe...
Back in October I changed out my calipers, rotors and pads with all new OEM equipment. Since then i have done 2 coast to coast trips with some offroading thrown in for good measure (15,000 miles).
I now have developed a very noticeable vibration/pulsing when i am braking. Noticeable at all...
Yesterday on a run outta Florida i happened to have my Toyocom ODB1 reader hooked up. I noticed that it shows a difference of about 150RPM compared to dash tacho.
At 2100 on the Toyocom the dash was showing about a quarter way between second and 3rd gradient marks (2250rpm)
At 3000 the...
Over the past years I have purchased a few electrical accessories that come with a cigar/cigarette connector. Some, like my fridge, were simple to convert to a hard wired solution however, others like the weboost, dashcam etc appear to have some voltage conversion circuitry embedded in the...
Does anyone have a GAIA map download of the Great Western Trail from the Mexico Border to the Grand Canyon? Most online resources are old or have broken links.
Does anyone have any feedback on Overland Vehicle Systems? I was looking to buy a Quick Pick camp shower enclosure and the OVS alternative came up in my Google.

I have never heard of them and their website is a mish-mash of products.
