    Factory roof rack

    Good points that I wasn't aware of. Thank you. Idea is to have a budget rack until I can save up for a gobi.

    South/West Sound Meet up?

    On Bainbridge. Not sure if I can make the May meeting, but will definitely try to get to one of them.

    Factory roof rack

    Hi all! Been a while, but have an opportunity to get a factory roof rack for my 1995. PO removed it and sealed with silicone and plastic caps. Can I just clean that silicone out and put the potentially new to me rack in the original place? Will clean up the surface rust and seal prior to install.

    Builds What did you do to your Land Cruiser/Toyota/Lexus 4X4 this week?

    Not as much exciting, fun stuff, but I changed the oil and used the chemical tester for engine combustion leaks. It stayed blue!

    Builds What did you do to your Land Cruiser/Toyota/Lexus 4X4 this week?

    Replaced the hydraulic lifts on the rear gate. Looks like I won't be hitting my head this winter! The new ones actually push up the gate after you pull open part way, almost hands-free!

    Northern AZ CSC meeting #2 this Friday

    Probably out, but depends on work load Friday. Really want to do Broken Arrow with some who have done it before.

    Introduce Yourself

    Just got my sticker and shirt yesterday! I've been on Mud since before I bought my 1995 FZJ80 last September; researching wannabe and been lurking on the CSC forum ever since posting occasionally. I was inspired to join after meeting some other members at the northern AZ meeting last Friday...

    Introduce Yourself

    First time owner here. Bought locally last month. Replaced the shocks and springs immediately with OME 861/862 and KYB gas-a-justs. Flares and running boards were deleted by PO. He also added trail gear front bumper. Just wrapped the steering wheel with Paracord. Have done Vultee Arch road...

    Installed low back trail gear seat covers from Cabela's.

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Bummer! On the bright side, you now have a good excuse to upgrade the bumper.

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Replaced factory springs with OME 861/862; average lift was 1 3/4 inch. I know it will settle down a little, but those factory springs were saggy. Replaced all 4 shocks with KYB Gas a justs (rears were factory with 155k miles!). Fixed wiring issue on stereo from PO.

    Electrical issue

    Pulled the stereo. Lo and behold, both feeds were tied together in one butt splice! Fixed! Unfortunately this was after the battery had drained far enough to only be able to turn the engine once, so I couldn't drive Elsie to church.

    Electrical issue

    Lighter socket does have power with key off. Will I have to pull the dash to unplug the amplifier, or can I do so by pulling the speaker?

    Electrical issue

    I plan on pulling the radio, checking the wiring for power, and fixing what needs to be done. Springs and shocks first!

    Electrical issue

    Looked at the fusible links and I'm going to order a set to replace as PM. The casings are starting to crack, so I imagine failure is in the not too distant future.

    Electrical issue

    Turned out the DOME fuse was popped! All the accessories are back on. Clock doesn't reset, dome lights turn on when they're supposed to, and stereo keeps its memory. Only thing now is that radio doesn't automatically turn off with ignition, so I'll need to check the wiring there. Probably has...

    Thanks for the advice. Ounce of prevention = pound of cure and all that.

    I'm planning on getting the FSM from Rockauto, so the diagram should be there.
