After doing this twice now, I'll throw in my .02:
I'd suggest adding a 2 pound brass hammer to the tool list either in addition to or in replacement of the brass drift. They are easier to find (Harbor Freight sells them), save some time, and come in a hell of a lot of handy in general.
No need...
Cruise working tells me the VSS is functioning, speedo not working with two different clusters points to it not being the drive gear in the cluster.
Tach in replacement cluster working as normal tells me something in the cluster is making an intermittent connection as far as my knowledge takes...
Yes I've used the search function.......for months........to no avail. And Phil fixing his speedo has lit the fire under my ass.
1993 FZJ80
Issue Number 1: Speedometer
Bought this 80 last December, got in for test drive, speedo went up to like 15mph and then died. Has not worked since then...
SELLING FOR A FRIEND NOT ON THE FORUMS! I know this rig well, I took the pics, I will get you any pictures you like ASAP. Information that I don't know I will gladly get from the owner.

Due to only one responding confirming attendance, this meet is cancelled. Will try again in the future. Feel free to PM me if you have suggestions. Sorry to any planning on coming.

Looking for a set of FZJ80/LX450 wheels within reasonable driving range (3-4 hours ish) from Pittsburgh PA. They are going on a daily driven 80 so they need to be in good shape, but do not need to be pretty. Would prefer they came with lug nuts but not a deal breaker as long as you know which...
I will be hiding a key for sure. I just would like to get everything working again. I'm thankful to be able to work at these projects instead of fighting rust on my last one. Is it bad that I'm actually excited to have stuff like this to fix instead of worrying about body work? :rofl:
So I have a new to me 93 FZJ80, and I'm stoked about it. Yesterday I went out to start the thing and let it warm up. Out of pure habit I hit the master door lock button and thought nothing of it. Came out 20 minutes later and realized my rig was now running and I had no way in! AAA solved my...
Bump. Cheapest 80 that can be driven home on here, perfect start for someone's build or double your money parting it. Negotiable on price! Help me get into a new 80!
The time has come to sell this 80 in an attempt to get into a less rusty 80. Not something I'm happy about but it needs to be done. With that being said, I have $5000 cash to add on top of the value of my truck if you're interested in a partial trade. With that, on to the good stuff...
The Good...
My '93 ticks on a cold start for a few seconds, IIRC it's not abnormal for that to happen. Neither the 3FE or the 1FZ are quiet, both let the surrounding area know when they crank to life.
If the ABS light comes on and stays on it's quite possible the relay isn't in the truck, mine wasn't when I bought it and I prefer the lack of ABS. That relay will be in the box under the hood.
