    For Sale  NM: Bearings from Sierra gear IKTOYLCBE kit - 80 series

    I have brand new bearings for a 80 series rear differential with OEM rear e-locker. I accidentally purchased the wrong kit and didn't use the carrier bearings. Also, I didn't use the pinion bearings - I opted for those listed as Toyota OEM. The Sierra gear kit bearings don't have as steep of...

    Yukon gear question

    Hi everyone - Looking for input from those who have installed Yukon gears in their 80s. I am working on setting up my rear with 4.88s and an Eaton e-locker. Setting the initial pinion depth, I started just using the stock pinion shim, which measured 0.054. With that, I find that when I...

    Diff rebuild question

    I am finally just about ready to start the re-gear and addition of Eaton e-lockers process on my 96 FZ and am looking over as many resources I can. This will be my first setup of Toyota gears ever. I have done a couple of Ford 9 inch re-gears and one Dana 44. Anyway, in my research, I came...

    Portable Awnings

    I really like the idea of an attached awning, but also sort of hate the idea. Another thing that is constantly on the rig and will get beat up by the trees and the sun. Plus, it is always there to take away from your payload no matter what. So, I'm looking at just buying a portable awning...

    SOLD  NM: 1996 Land Cruiser Rear Bumper extensions

    I have the plastic extensions for the stock rear bumper, along with the metal mounting plates. I would prefer not to ship, as shipping from where I live tends to be expensive and has turned away a lot of buyers in the past. They are in good condition. $50 for the pair. They are posted...

    Rear shock question

    Yes, I have searched. Yes, I know that the real answer to my question is to go yank the current shock and compress the spring and measure. But, I figured I would post up and see if anybody has any input anyway. I have sent a message to Slee, also. So, here is the dilemma: I currently have...

    Strange occasional sound

    So, I just recently finished my 1FZ rebuild on my 1996 Land Cruiser. The engine seems to be running great, but I have been getting an occasional sound that I can't pinpoint. This description will be terrible, so I apologize in advance. But just hoping that maybe someone might have some...

    LSPV delete pictures

    I've searched quite and found quite a few threads about the LSPV removal, but not many pictures of what I am looking for. Has anyone deleted the LSPV and replaced it with an adjustable proportioning valve in the stock location? I have seen a couple that put it under the hood near the MC, but I...

    Possible transmission problem - EDIT, **SOLVED**

    I recently replaced my engine with a new Toyota short block for my 1996 FZJ80. Engine seems to run fine - the idle is a little low, but while in park, it seems pretty responsive and it seems ok. I was rebuilding it at my mother-in-laws house, which is about a mile from my own home. After...

    Valve clearance after valve job

    So, I am re-assembling my new short block and re-worked cylinder head on my '96. I went to check the valve clearances and they are almost all way too tight after the valve job. I can't even get a .002" feeler through on some of them. I hope I didn't screw anything up. Anyway - any...

    EGR Temp sensor connector part number?

    I read through several threads looking for a part number for the connector on the end of the EGR temp sensor and couldn't find one. Is there a replacement/repair part for this (just the electrical connector - not the whole temperature sensor)? Thanks.

    Thoughts on cylinder wall streak?

    Hi all. I posted this in my build thread as well, but I know not as many people open build threads. I had an issue with compression on cylinder #3 on my 1FZ - a wet test only brought the value up a little, but I (went from about 84 dry to 108 wet). I assumed it was a valve issue. I decided...

    Thoughts on compression test results?

    I did a compression test today on a new-to-me 1996 FZJ80. Results are not good. I live at about 6,000 feet, so I adjusted the readings accordingly. But cylinder #3 doesn't look good. I put a little oil in it and it came up some, but not to the level of the others. #1 - 181 #2 - 181 #3 - 84...

    Builds  1996 Land Cruiser Build - "Kronk"

    Hi everyone! My name is Devin and I recently purchased my first Land Cruiser - a 1996 FZJ80 with 208,000 miles. I have been searching for an older vehicle to build up into a camping/wheeling/exploring rig for a while. I was originally going to buy a full size truck with an 8' bed and get a...

    New guy possibly interested in an 80 series - EDIT: I pulled the trigger.

    Hi everyone - Just doing a bit of research here. I am looking to buy an older vehicle to turn into a camping/expo rig. A big factor in whatever vehicle I buy is that I have to be able to sleep inside of it. That is where the hard part is - I am 6'8" tall. Previously, I had already pretty...
