    How fked am I?

    Not that you have to do it now, but I'd also replace all the power steering hoses as they tend to weep at this age and check/replace the EGR and the EGR modulator. Every vacuum hose should be replaced. PCV should be checked for good function. For extra piece of mind, I'd wrap the wiring harness...

    Front suspension: WTH am I looking at?

    To have repurchased the vehicle instead of buying another 80 does show that you had some sort of emotional connection to it--and I realize that CEs with low mileage aren't a dime a dozen on the marketplace. I don't know what you do for a living, but that time sink of a vehicle will likely bring...

    I purchased a cheap catch can from Amazon and the plastic can finally cracked after 3 years. I’m in the market for a new one and look forward to trying your version.

    1996 gasser, 317k miles too many?

    317k is not a big deal if the vehicle has been well-maintained. Engine-wise, the straight six is underpowered, but reliable because it’s not high-strung like today’s engines. However, you should be financially prepared to replace the HG. There will probably be items that will need to be...

    How to get rid of mud stains?

    Where are you taking your truck? Concours d'Elegance? Leave it. Wear the stains like a badge of honor.

    Just bought an FZJ80 and oil change is coming up...thoughts?

    I think the Youtube video you're referring to is the Project Farm guy. I started out loving additives. Going to the additives aisle at the local Walmart for me was like being a kid in a toy store. I've used the Sea Foams, Marvel Mystery Oil, Rislones of the world in the engine oil and have used...

    Water dripping into US driver's side kick panel

    I had a similar issue with water intrusion and thought it was the windshield or the driver's side sunroof drain. Since I was hearing some wind noise from the sunroof, I focused on the sunroof. Clearing out the drain and making sure that the rubber drain hose was properly positioned did NOT solve...

    Would you but TLC with rebuilt title?

    We don’t know that the flood damage was minimal. We don’t know what the seller is not telling potential buyers. Ads are meant to put merch in the best light for the sale. Remember, an insurance agency and the state deemed this truck as salvage and someone decided to put in the wrench time to...

    Would you but TLC with rebuilt title?

    If you have the skills to deal with a rebuilt vehicle, then it may be an affordable way into the 80-series community. If it were something like hail damage and the body was in poor state, but it had good bones and electrical, then it's probably worth the risk. But like others here, flood damage...

    Cruisers and Company 80 Series Turbo

    Great job to you and your team Johnny! Love seeing you contribute these sort of options to the 80 community. If my truck survives the wetness of the UK, I'll be stopping on by your shop for a little added spiciness!

    preferred coolant?

    Your plan sounds good. I did red coolant because I was flushing the system anyways and wanted to try it. Just don't mix green and red.

    New 80 series owner - Did I make a Mistake?

    If you want good quality shock that is affordable, get the Tokicos. OEM coils are fine for what you want to do. I think you should decide on whether you want to do a lift on the vehicle. If you want to do one relatively soon, you might as well do it now.

    Dad's Montana 80

    My condolences about your father, but you got me thinking...my father had a '99 4Runner, but his favorite car was his '86 Benz 300D turbo diesel. Said he wanted a tank that was lower to the ground. Might have to find one of those cars...

    New 80 series owner - Did I make a Mistake?

    Personally, I would cut your losses now and sell it. I understand that rust is an issue in the UP, but you are missing chunks of that car due to rust. I see that you're a Honda guy--get a used Ridgeline in decent condition and you'll be happier, and safer. That being said, I DD my '94, do about...

    Engine hesitation when cold below 2000rpm

    Make sure your valve cover bolts are appropriately tight. You can get un-metered air being sucked into the engine. I believe the torque spec is 9ft/lb. Reset the ECU afterwards and see what happens. If you still have issues, I would just advance the timing to 6 degrees if that fixes the...

    Stock height springs.

    For stock weight, eh, go with whatever is on sale. I'm not sensitive enough to appreciate the consistency of linear springs as the body-on-frame wiggles cancel out any perceived handling predictability. We're not driving sports cars here. I'm using Dobinsons stock height variables (from Exit...

    Chasing A Cabin Leak

    Yes thanks. I was thinking the same thing and after reexamining the tube at the pan, I was able to push it in another 1/2 inch and then clamped it. Then I decompressed the tube at the top of the A-pillar. Hope that helps!
