    Axle leaking again. Can the more experienced help assess severity?

    I rebuilt the front knuckles on my US '92 in January of '22. Cruiser Outfitters rebuild kit and Koyo bearings. My first time with Toyota solid axles. Everything was great until the driver's side started leaking randomly a little over a year later. Now the back of the knuckle is caked in grease...

    Any leads on Denso AC compressor for ‘92 3FE?

    Read up on tons of threads before jumping into my A/C overhaul. They all reference the Denso compressor as the one to use. But the threads are years old and I can’t find a current vendor for said Denso compressor. Any leads or recommended alternatives?

    3FE aftermarket oil temp sensor

    I spend a lot of time in the backcountry of the Big Bend region in West Texas. Summer temps are brutal and I've enjoyed the peace of mind I've gotten from installing aftermarket temp gauges for my coolant and trans fluid. So much so that I'm going to add an oil temp gauge. Coolant and trans temp...

    Tailgate Overhead Light

    I found myself wanting a light that could shine down from directly over the tailgate. I'm sensitive to too much light and prefer red to keep my eyes adjusted to the dark. I considered a lot of options that would mount directly to the underside of the lift gate but a) there weren't great options...

    Need help! FJ80 front spindle parts.

    Stranded in Marble Falls. Wheel bearing s*** the bed and generated enough heat to destroy the spindle threads. Desperately need a spindle and the two 54mm nuts that hold the hub on. Bonus points for spindle and/or hub gasket. I can drive a friends car anywhere but need tonight or tomorrow. Been...

    '92 front sway bar extension brackets not fitting

    I purchased front and rear sway bar extension brackets for my US '92 from Dobinsons. Rear fit great. Front did not. After going back and forth with Dobinson (who were helpful) I ended up just having to return them. They seemed surprised they didn't fit but to my knowledge my mounting brackets...

    For Sale  WTB: 80 Series 3FE A/C line

    The line that runs under/beside the battery between the compressor and condenser sprang a leak. Toyota has discontinued the part (8871160140). Anyone got a used one they're relatively sure it intact?

    What’s dangling from my transmission?

    Noticed this thing dangling from above my transmission (‘92 3fe model) that the previous owner apparently zip tied out of the way at some point. Don’t judge me too harshly for the amount of fluid I’m leaking.

    Trans temp sensor. Which line?

    Installing a trans temp gauge on my 3FE 80. Planning to install a T fitting in one of the lines rather than tap the pan/sending unit. Which line is the ideal line to tap? I assume as close to the trans as possible is best? Anyone have a diagram of the system where the direction of flow is...

    Brakes not building pressure

    My '92 was sitting for a while after doing new front calipers, rotors, fluid, and bleeding. Brakes were working fine after the work and before sitting. Now the pedal goes to the floor with very little effort and the brakes struggle to stop the vehicle even from 5-10mph. No visible leaks. I just...

    Wanted  80 series 3FE thermostat housing

    Seized bolts snapped off in the lower portion of the tstat housing. They're proving to be a PITA to extract so if anyone has a spare lower tstat housing I'm interested.

    Water Temp Sensor Adapter Size

    I want to add an aftermarket water temp gauge but I'm not sure what size adapter to order. I don't have access to my vehicle right now so I can't measure the upper coolant hose I plan to splice into (near the tstat). Options I have: 28mm, 30mm, 32mm, 34mm, 38mm. Anyone know the diameter of that...

    Good deal or more trouble than its worth?

    New to Land Cruisers but I've been eyeing FJ80s for a while now. Hoping your experience can help me decide if a cheap '92 I looked at today is a good idea to get started or if I should hold out and spend more money for a better specimen. For context: I've not worked on a Land Cruiser before but...
