    So what if the HEAD BOLTS don't torque --HELP

    ^^^^^Pull the head.^^^^^ get it out of the way and do a proper inspection of the threads in the block, use a bottoming tap to chase the threads and make sure they are sound and there is nothing impeding the bolt, measure the length of all the bolts to see if the two in question have been...

    Looking at buying a HZJ77

    So the weakness is in the 3rd member, not any difference in the housing? So going ARB in the rear, not a problem, but definitely want to find a factory locker for the front? And Simon, is your 77 turboed or naturally aspirated? my understanding is that a turboed 77 will possibly outperform a...

    Looking at buying a HZJ77

    With regards to the axles. Am I correct in my understanding that the 77's use the smaller (8inch?) ring gear as compared to the 80's? Are these basically the same axle as the mini-trucks use? I know the mini's can take tremendous abuse and handle large tires especially with Longfields, but...

    Snake Racing vs OME lift kits (79 series)

    I'm not familiar with either kit, however, just using extended shackles will have a couple of downsides. First is that it only affects one end of the spring, lowering it will serve to rotate the axle housing. Now here is where my ignorance of LC comes it...I don't know if the factory used...

    Looking at buying a HZJ77

    Other than cool factor, what advantage if any does the 77 have over an 80 series. It seems like the selection and prices on 80 series are far better, they are avaliable with both dif locks and turbos. Is there something I'm missing?

    Looking at buying a HZJ77

    Thanks for the advice, I'd noticed a huge jump in price for the few low miles units I'd found, I think there is one '93 with 73K that is about 26 thousand landed :crybaby: more than I can comtemplate. What are the thoughts on a motor with 215k? Obviously prior maintenance will play a huge...

    Looking at buying a HZJ77

    10K is right in the range I was thinking for a fair price, I don't have pics of the truck, but it is your standard two tone gray, with extra wide flares, roofrack, and the lift. Bumpers definitely would be replaced, and a winch added. I'm not set on this particular truck, would go higher in...

    Looking at buying a HZJ77

    No probably not, there is a driveshaft spacer in there but I'm a little wary of the shackle reversal allowing the axle to move back too much especially with the lift springs as you pointed out. I'm thinking it would be prudent to invest in a long travel slipyoke. Anyone have any ideas on...

    Looking at buying a HZJ77

    Sorry for the mixup guys, I'm not sure of the exact year (should be obvious by now), it is definitely an HZJ77, I saw the frame stamping today. Also has a ladder on the rear door and a solidly built roof rack and a snorkel. Undercarriage is very clean no scrapes, dents or leaks. Only...

    Looking at buying a HZJ77

    I'm looking at buying an HZJ77, 199? auto. Its in good condition, has been used locally in BC as a hunting rig so not a pristine JDM import. I've got a couple of questions since I'm not very familiar with Cruisers in general being a Jeep/Scout guy until now. First off, what is a fair price...
