    chasing an electrical gremlin

    my door open light started 1/2 lighting itself up, I assumed it was the driver side door switch that was the issue so I took it apart and replaced it with a new switch. Seemed fine for a while and then it resurfaced. Then I thought it might be the reach hatch switch failing. But instead of...

    cracked my exhaust on the trail this weekend

    Hey guys, I had a blast seeing what my stock 80 could do (and couldn't do) on our run this past weekend. While I was pulling my running boards off yesterday I discovered why my exhaust sounded like there was a hole in it. Somehow I did this on the trail. So I come to you guys first; how do I...

    I can't stomach buying a tool and only using it once. Can anyone suggest somewhere that I can rent some tools like a 1FZ-FE crank holding tool for example? I'd like to replace my timing chain and all the other goodies and gaskets that I can get to when that's all off and I'm trying to save...

    diff fill plug stuck solution

    Hey guys, hopefully this might help someone else. I rebuilt my front axle seals this past weekend. I won't get into the process of a knuckle rebuild, plenty of threads out there on that. I tried to get the filler plug out first, didn't have any luck and figured I'd just come back to it...

    this morning I was driving to work and out of nowhere my rear locker light lit up, went off and then started flickering. Not blinking like it's trying to lock the locker, but flickering like a light bulb that is halfway plugged in. My locker switch was def not in the lock position, when I...

    time to tackle rust

    Hi guys, I'm about to start the task of trying to remove and repair the rust towards the rear end of my 80 on the undercarriage. Typical spots where any car or truck in the Northeast would see signs of aging and decay and cancer. Overall the truck doesn't look like it's going to be as bad as it...

    Chasing a 26 code

    1994 LandCrusher, 26 error code shining it's amber smirk on my dash. TL;DR version- the exhaust flange where the 02 sensors were plugged in was rotted away and full of holes. Once replaced no more CEL. So check the integrity of your exhaust. Mine was the original still, end to end, with 254K...

    trailer wiring harness conundrum

    Howdy all, Doing some troubleshooting of why my trailer light harness isn't working, I came across the weirdest thing. I found whoever put in the wires cut about 1/4 inch of wire from the original trailer wire harness, P/N 00526-00930, for what appears to be the left hand turn signal wire. I'm...
