    1995 Locked FZJ80, 181K miles, No. Virginia

    SOLD! It's time for me to move on to something a bit "softer" for my growing family and aging body. Don't worry, it will most likely be a 100 series, but might be a GX470 or even something less manly. It is in very good condition, but certainly not perfect. I will try to be as honest as I...

    FZJ80/GX470 Comparison

    I noticed there are numerous people here who own or have owned both a FZJ80 and a GX. I'm wondering if I can get a real world size comparison between the two. I still love my 80 and would keep it if I had the room. But I need a more family friendly (toddler and elderly mother) vehicle that is...

    Wiper Motor Repaired

    My wipers went out yesterday and didn't see many posts that applied, so I figured I would post up my experience for the next guy . . . . Symptoms: Front wipers stopped mid-wipe, did not return to "home"position. Washers and rear wipers still work. Fuse was fine. After checking the fuse...

    My 1/2 @$$ Rear Heater Replacement

    I recently replaced my rear most heater lines while trying to solve my mystery coolant leak. The ones in the rear really aren't too bad replace at all. Unfortunately, my leak was actually at the lowest point of the forward rear heater lines: :doh: Shockingly, those holes would just weep...

    Powered Subwoofer Option?

    I was installing my new head unit today and a friend showed me his new powered subwoofer. I realize this probably isn't up to snuff for the true audiophiles, but for many of us it is likely more than ample...

    ECU Reflash/P0420

    I have the intermittent P0420. It probably comes every 100 miles and I just clear it with my scan gauge. But I'd rather not have it. I have new OEM O2 sensors and new cats. Those made no difference. Anyway, today I was reading on another forum (sorry, sometimes I stray) a posting about...

    Rough idle in drive/IAC/ECT Sensor

    I'm hoping some folks can help me wrap my head around this issue . . . Like many, my TLC vibrates when stopped at a light in Drive. It's not terrible, but I'd like to fix it. I've already replaced the MAF sensor and cleaned and tested the IAC (Idle Air Control) valve. I also did a somewhat...

    Loctite Weld 0, Duct Tape 1

    I replaced my worn out shocks with Bilsteins last weekend. That one hour job took all weekend due to stubborn and broken bolts. I had broken the bolt that holds the rear shock to the axle. Drilled it out - fine. Unfortunately, I would need a Metric 14 tap to re-thread it. I don't have one...

    The infamous idle stumble/vibration/hiccup . . .

    My 80 has always had the infamous vibration at idle that many have posted about. I don't have a solution, but I did just learn a new piece of information about it that might help somebody smarter than I figure it out. I had just replaced my hoses and filled the radiator and the hood was up and...

    Water Bypass Hose

    I'm in the process of replacing all my coolant hoses. As I am knee deep in PHH madness at the moment, I noticed another coolant hose running from the block (near the PHH) up to the throttle body. It is the Water Bypass Hose and CDan had sent me one along with all the other hoses. It looks...

    Rear Heater Pipes - Will this work?

    My rear heater tubes really look bad. I need to either replace them or remove them. I would really like to keep the rear heat, but I'm not going to drop the tranny to replace the pipes. I know somebody Beno split the two tubes and was able to get them in without dropping the tranny, but his...

    Dash Speakers

    I saw the thread about replacing the dash speakers, but it doesn't look like anybody has actually done it. Most people seem to disconnect them once they get good door speakers. It seem like a shame to lose two speaker locations - albeit not very good locations. So my question, and I apologize...

    Alternate O2 sensor checks

    I keep getting an occasional 420 code. The PO had the O2 sensor before the cat replaced, but not the rear. The receipt said the rear O2 sensor was slow to respond. There was another post on here about "lazy" O2 sensors throwing the 420 code. So the question is, how do you test for that? The...

    Why no cheap mods thread?

    I know there is a "bang for the buck" mod thread, but it is only 4 pages and is full of very expensive mods (lifts, superchargers). In the 60s forum there is a "Best Mods under $50" thread that is many pages long. It is great for new owners (or anybody else) who feels like a spending some...

    New FZJ80 - Re-intro

    I just picked up a locked one-owner 1995 FZJ80 with 127K. I'm hoping for it to replace my 2002 Explorer as my DD. Although I recently had an FJ60 (which now belongs to Landcruisin'60), I actually discovered 'Mud a couple years ago researching 80s. Initially, I never really liked the look of...

    1987 FJ60, N.Va, *Price Reduced*

    *****SOLD***** I bought this cruiser for $1200 from a frustrated owner with 181K and a bunch of missing parts from a failed attempt to fix a seized smog pump. The good news was the body was straight and had no rust. Although I really had wanted an FZJ80, I thought it was too good of a deal to...

    PS Pump woes

    I had an issue weeks back and figured it was either the smog pump or the PS pump. I replaced to smog pump with a gutted OEM pump from a member. I was fairly sure the PS pump was ok, but figured I would replace with a NAPA one. The thing has been groaning ever since. I have read every PS...

    Volts, outside temp and clock

    Motorcycle Volt Meter - webBikeWorld I kept seeing these on a motorcycle site I regularly peruse. I always wanted an outside temp guage on the 60. And an accurate voltmeter is a bonus. Everytime I saw them I thought it would be a good addition for my 60. Unfortunately, I have a feeling I...

    How much resistance . . .

    . . should there be on the power steering pump pulley? I am trying to trace down what seems to be a pump bearing about to lose it. At first, I thought it was the smog pump. But that seems to spin fine. The PS pump has quite a bit of resistence at the pulley when turning by hand - more than...
