    Steering Damper bolt removal

    Hey all, I’m replacing my tie rod ends and am unsure how to get this bolt out that attaches my Dobinson’s damper to the tie rod. I’ve tried beating it out with a mallet. Also tried using the ball joint removal tool I used for the tie rod ends but can’t get it between the large washer and the...

    Slow window, new runs/weatherstrip

    Looking for advice. Left front window struggles to go down, especially in cold weather. I swapped out the window run and weather strip with new ones and cleaned/greased the window channel and regulator gear. Window works well before door card is installed, but when I put the door card on with...

    Question about Bolt/Nut/Washer sizes and Part Numbers

    I'm working on doing a full refresh on my suspension and steering bushings. Bought the Trail Tailor tools, Man-a-fre bushing kit, and tie rod ends from Cruiser Teq. Unfortunately I forgot that some hardware isn't reusable... Now I'm wondering how I ensure I get the correct hardware where...

    UPDATE: Need advice - My poor girl got hit

    Hey all, Lady from down the street rammed my cruiser as it was parked out front. Damage looks fixable, but wanted to ask if anyone has advice as far as “unseen damage.” Doesn’t look like I have frame damage from a quick look, but is drivetrain damage likely? Car was in park and got pushed...

    Another "what's this noise" thread

    Hey all, sorry to bring up another one of these, but I feel like a moron riding around with this noise. Just started a day or two ago, with no recent maintenance done that would've affected it (I did replace window trim moulding finally, but doubt that messed up my driveline). As a starting...

    2.7L Turbo L3B Swap?

    Anybody consider the 2.7 Turbo in the Silverado 1500 for a swap? Wondering if it would be similar to other Chevy swaps (harness/accessories) or if you’d be paving the way in uncharted territories… Hp: 310 Tq: 348 New High power reportedly has 420 ft lbs...

    Anybody know where to find these?

    Looking for hub caps for a JDM 1991 FJ80, and I cannot seem to find any that look like this. Afraid to purchase another type and find out they don’t fit. Also, do only two of the wheels come with caps (rear)? Everybody seems to sell them in 2’s and mine only came with 2 when I bought. Thanks!

    Two Questions, Roof Rust Stains and Musty A/C

    Two questions, I've got some rust stains on my roof from a roof rack I've had for years. I don't think the actual roof is rusting, but I'm wondering if this is something I need to care care of sooner rather than later. Second, my A/C smells musty. How many bananas is it to get into the...

    3fe full rebuild -$4800?

    Hey all, My 91 is killing me with the lack of power. I was throwing around the idea of an LS s swap, but I’ve decided that’s too involved, too expensive, and to Frankenstein Cruiser for my liking. A local SoCal performance engine shop quoted me $4800 for a full rebuild, bored 20 over, and...

    JDM 3fe Engine Squeak - Weird Pulley Question

    Hi all, I was hoping someone could help me troubleshoot a possible issue with my belt. I have a squeaky engine and a burning smell that gets more noticeable if I get up there in the Revs. I was worried it was the Tranny, so I had it checked out and the guy at the shop said he didn't smell...

    A/C blows cold but with clicking sound and rpm changes

    Hey all, My A/C never worked while in Japan, but it was hardly ever an issue with the climate there. When I came back to the states, however, I got the system recharged and it has been working great ever since (year and a half). Unfortunately, the compressor started to go and finally failed...

    Seat Belt Compatibility Question

    Hi All, I have a question about compatibility of seat belts between years. I have a 1991 JDM with some questionable seat belts. My driver side belt is starting to fray and it is difficult to get the belt to lock by pulling on it. Basically it takes a lot of sharp pulls and it engages maybe...

    Any concerns with lifting a 91 JDM?

    Hey all, I'm looking at getting a lift at some point for the cruiser. Nothing crazy, just a normal lift to get a bit more clearance, replace old springs/shocks, and hopefully improve ride quality a bit. I've found plenty of threads to read about all the various options out there, but i feel...

    Spend money to upgrade or buy a new vehicle?

    Hey everybody. I'm at an impasse. I own a 1991, RHD FJ80 that I brought back to the states with me from Japan. It's got roughly 80,000 miles on it (tach cable snapped, but I haven't put much on it since), an I've been having EFI relay issues (every few months the relay goes bad, never dies...

    Water pumps and radiators.

    Hey all, So I brought my LC from Japan to the states and right before I put it on the boat (literally at the dock) the engine temp spiked. I took out the thermostat and it seemed to be fine. Put it on the boat and picked it up two months later in the states. Drove it from the vehicle...

    Rattle is driving me crazy

    Hey all, I've had this annoying rattle for a while now, and I just can't seem to find the cause. I'm trying to post videos of the noise, so we'all see how that goes. I only seem to hear the rattle when in drive. Revving in neutral or park does nothing. That being said, I put it up on a lift...

    Sunroof leak fixed!.... I think

    I've been dealing with a leak for the past month or so, and I just had no idea what was causing it. During rainy days, water would seep trough the headliner on the driver's side A-pillar and would develop a slow drip. I was concerned it was somehow coming in my rain gutters as there are a few...

    Engine Cranks Strong, but won't start

    Got back from a 2 month patrol during which I left the cruiser sitting in my squadron's parking lot with the battery disconnected. After reconnecting the battery, i started her up and drove away with no problems. After a few days, I began having a recurring problem. When I shut of the engine...
