Hello, I am having trouble finding the cause of two very annoying issues. I have done a done of searching in this forum and a lot of the time I find people that have had the same issues I am having, but no one seems to follow up once they fix the issue. I hear by promise that when I fix these...
Who here thinks it would be a bad idea to slightly trim the springs that expand the ratcheting pucks in my spartan locker? I measured my locker when I put it in and it was within spec but on the tight side. Even when I coast into turns its a 50/50 if its gonna unlock. I was thinking if it had...
Well I should have known, I bought my FJ80 mechanics special with a blown radiator and transmission. I fixed both and she seemed to run perfectly. No over heating, no smoking, no sludge under the oil cap! The only thing that made me suspect was that i did have to add a bit of coolant every 1000...
Has anyone here swapped their high range TC gears for the 10% under drive set? I am researching this and am having trouble finding any details about the level of difficulty and success. I currently need to regear one way or another and swapping ring and pinion is just out of my skillset. I...
I found the answer to my own question but figured I might share to help others avoid my near misfortune.

Hi guys, I thought I would post a few pictures of my NSS cleaning that I did.
Symptoms I was having before doing this:
No reverse lights on both the dash and out back.
Slipping in hard reverse.
Long time for the trans to go into reverse.
Occasional no start in park.
All of these problems are...
As a newbie. I try to lurk and learn but I really need your guys thoughts and I have a deadline of tomorrow.
Today I had to pull my transmission and while I am in there I decided to do my rear main. While removing my flexplate I got too excited with my impact and rounded a flexplate bolt(that...
Hello,
I am a long time lurker and a new member. I am not new to wheeling but I am new to Land Cruisers. I have made the switch from the Jeep XJ platform to the FJZ80. I am happy to announce that today I picked up 1994 LC for a song, the catch is the the radiator blew on the last owner and...
