    For Sale  Salt Lake City, UT - 1991 FJ80 Landcruiser

    Needs some work, but I'm not the one to do it. Asking $1900. Runs, but leaks black oil and has a pretty good rod knock that just started, needs some love before it's road worthy so selling cheap. For the right Cruiser fan, this one would be a great project or useful for parts. Tires in good...

    1991 Cruiser slow to heat up, also overheats on hot days

    Blew the head gasket on my '91 FJ80 last spring, and had my local shop do the repairs - head gasket kit, new water pump, tune-up. Didn't drive it much at all over the summer, just a few very short trips running errands. On the one longer trip - about 40 minutes on the freeway in stop and go...

    Heater woes

    Thanks all - the O-ring was indeed the problem. Reinstalled the thermostat with the O-ring in place and all is well. Engine now gets to normal operating temperature in about 5 minutes and heater blows nice and toasty. What a difference a 97 cent part can make. I didn't see the post about...

    Heater woes

    Update - thermostat pulled So, got the thermostat pulled and now realized I'm not sure what I'm looking for. Where should this elusive O-ring located? I'm seeing a thin rubber ring around the base - is that it? (See attached pics) Is there also supposed to be a gasket between the thermostat...

    Heater woes

    Had a new (to me) engine put in my '91 FJ80 this summer. Runs strong so far, no real complaints. However, now that the temperatures are dropping, I'm noticing that it takes a long time for the engine temperature to reach the midpoint on the gauge (about 1/2 hour of highway driving), and the...

    Valve job - rear main leak - advice

    Fellas- Thanks for the good advice - Great thought on checking the oil pan - went ahead on that, but looks like on this one, it is indeed the rear main seal. Ugh. . . The engine has got a pretty good lope to it - seems like it's crept in over the last few months or so. Hopefully that's a...

    Valve job - rear main leak - advice

    Thanks for the thoughts and encouragement, fellas. Unfortunately, time is at a bit of a premium these days as well, though idea of doing this myself does hold some allure. It just may be a while until I can get at even attempting anything. In the meantime, is it bad to continue to drive the...

    Valve job - rear main leak - advice

    Picked up our '91 FJ80 3 years ago and have been loving the truck. 160,000 miles, no major problems. . . yet. For the past few months, it's been running pretty rough, so took it in to our local shop for a tuneup, but still continues to idle rough Ran compression check and sure enough, looks...

    Replace 2 or all 4 tires?

    Tires So, the three good tires are BF Goodrich 31 1050's - they've probably got 2/3 tread left. Snake Eater - when you say our Cruisers aren't that picky - do you think I could get away with this difference on two of my tires? How much of a difference is too much? I can get 2 new ones of the...

    Replace 2 or all 4 tires?

    I've been poring over past posts for the past few hours, but can't seem to find a definitive answer to my question. I aplogize if this is repetitive. Just had a blowout of my right rear tire on my '91 FJ-80, followed a few miles later by a blowout of the spare (pretty sure the spare probably...

    Hoppy trailer wiring harness doesn't fit

    Thanks for all the input - I called Hoppy and sent them the pics and Frank over there agreed that there's not fit, but said that it's the first time he's ever seen that. I'm guessing that Dan is right about the different pigtails, just that Hoppy isn't aware of the fact. I actually also have...

    Hoppy trailer wiring harness doesn't fit

    Have recently come into a small tent trailer, but trailer light wiring on my Cruiser didn't work, so I ordered the Hoppy 43405 T harness, ( http://www.trailerwiring.com/cgi-bin/view.cgi?part=43405 ) based on multiple threads here who speak well of them. Pulled the rear panels and unplugged...

    That's the one Yes- that's the one. So does that normally end up grounding at the frame somewhere? Thanks- P

    Installing a new starter - 1991 Cruiser

    Mission accomplished Decided to give the contacts a try, worked like a charm. Thanks, all, especially zcruiser for the excellent guide, beno for the diagram, and cruiserdan for pointing me in the right direction for parts and FSM. Ended up replacing the small bolts that hold the cover on...

    Installing a new starter - 1991 Cruiser

    Where to shop for OEM? Any thoughts on where to get a good deal on OEM parts (specifically a starter, obviously) Would a rebuild (as listed on the link below) be a mistake...

    Installing a new starter - 1991 Cruiser

    Starter - brand OK? Thanks all - I think I may go the route of replacing the starter - got it out and apart and the thing looks pretty beat. My local autozone quoted me $117 for their Duralast brand with lifetime warranty - would that be a mistake to get a starter other than Toyota brand...

    Where is it? OK, so I'm a complete novice - got the FSM and looked at those link and still can't figure out where the starter is located - anyone care to point the way? P
