    Need help. Won’t crank.

    Hey guys. I’ve pulled a super boneheaded maneuver and left myself stranded. I went to jump another car and hooked the damn cables up backwards. 47 years old and probably 100 jump starts and have never managed to do that. 😥 Anyway, my 93 kept running after the spark show and I figured it had...

    285/70r18 Ridge Grapplers

    Hey guys, I’ve done a bit of research and have decided on the Ridge Grapplers for the ‘new’ 200. My question is what is the largest size I can fit without compromising reliability or having to hack off half of the undercarriage? I’ve gathered that 285/65r18’s will work fine. - but can I go...

    Replacing hub studs

    Hey guys. I’ve torn my front axle apart and come to find that the last ‘mechanic’ in this thing used nothing but FiPG and a big ass impact wrench. Every one of the studs on the hub are stripped out - badly (see attached pic). I’ve pulled them all and have new ones to install but I can’t find...

    Quick opinion on front axle and birfs

    Hey guys, I've torn into my front axle to address a leak on the left knuckle and am doing all seals, bearings, etc on both sides. I've pulled the axle and birfs and am looking for opinions on a couple of things. First, below are pics of the axle shafts. The short side has a relatively...

    Steering won't turn as far right as left

    Ok - I can't figure this one out at all. On my '97 FJ80 (LH drive) I noticed that turning to the right wasn't nearly as sharp as to the left. I brought her into the garage and the steering wheel turns two full turns to the left but only 1.5 to the right. To eliminate the steering box...

    Key Problems

    Ok guys. Stick with me on this one. It’s an f’ing head-scratcher. Got my new-to-me 97 cruiser a few months back and it came with a single key. That key worked fine for locking/unlocking the driver’s-side door and for starting the truck. I never got it to work in passenger-side lock. After...

    Steering box replacement

    Hey guys, I've been lurking here for the last year or so after buying my first FJ80 - a '93. I am now onto my second - a 97 that is in pretty amazing shape with the exception of the steering - there is a frightening amount of play. After reading a lot on here and doing some basic testing I...
