I know this is a difficult question to answer, but perhaps the collective intelligence of this group can direct me in the right direction.
I was changing the front diff oil yesterday and found some shrapnel in the magnetic drain plug.
I have a 97 80 Series, with 600,000 Km on it so far, free...
I presume that 80 series with barn doors are not very common in the US, perhaps there are a few mudders here who might have them.
The Barn Door Blues are quite agitating to say the least, I dont know if anyone has listened to them before ?
With time, the "Roller" in the Roller Assy, Spare Wheel...
My ARB CKM onboard compressor just died.
I checked the 40 Amp fuse & it was shot so I replaced the fuse and the new one burnt.
I went ahead and dismantled the motor cap, brushes seemed healthy enough, a bit worn but nothing drastic.
I am not savy in electrical issues, but I think the problem is...
Hail Fellow Mudders,
Once again I seek the collective wisdom on this forum.
Started my truck this morning, a 1997 FZJ-80 L with an FZ-F Engine (Carburetor & stick-Shift), it started fine as usual but the Voltmeter Discharge & Air Filters lights wouldn't go off after the engine started.
Had to...
Hail fellow mudders, it seems my time has come to seek the wisdom of the Jedi's on tech.
Just managed to escape the city with the family, drive 360 Km's to the beach to spend the weekend with some buddies. Was a relatively hot day, driving upwind on the highway in my 97 80 series (1FZ-F...
Hi Guys,
I've taken the instrument cluster out to try and fix 2 problems :
1) Trip meter stopped working a couple of years ago, hear a zipping/hissing sound like a torsion spring snapped out of place once while I was driving, lived with it since.
2) Yesterday the Speedometer & Km's counter...
Hey guys,
Just purchased a led light bar and plan to install it under my ARB roof rack, in the space between the roof rack & roof. Instead of having it's cable routed through the gutter and then through to the inside, I am willing (reluctantly :nailbiting:) to drill in the roof, right above the...
Of all the pics of beautiful trucks I have seen on MUD, I haven't seen (could be wrong) a single "Headlight Saver" on any type of after-market front bumpers, ARB or otherwise. In our part of the world, all sorts of things go flying at you when on the road. From day 1 when I installed an ARB...
Happy New Year :)
I am about to change the bushings on the leading arms of my 97 80 series, 2 failed so far in 452K Km's.
Found the following hint in 2 FSM's,
Can anyone advise the reasoning behind this hint............just out of curiosity ?
Thanks

Just wanted to update you guys on a quick fix for a broken Barn Door Handle.
I managed to open the barn door from the inside, even with the "Child Safety" on. Had to remove the door liner and released the mechanism by hand. Once the license plate cover is removed work on the broken handle was...
