    Noise diagnosis on 80?

    Hey Folks - just got a new (to me) ‘96 FZJ. Don’t know much about the service history, but noticing two noises: (1) when I make hard right turns (at speed) there’s a vibrating buzz noise that comes out of the left side. Almost sounds like when you’re on the highway and drive over the rumble...

    Rear main seal leak: how "big a deal" is that?

    Hi Friends - Follow-on question: I've got a nice low-mileage LX450 at Slee right now getting some work baselining done. They say the rear main seal has a leak (supposedly common). It's a $1k repair -- $850 of labor removing the transmission to install a $60 gasket. Is this something worth...

    Wanted  Lifer Vehicle - FJ80 (or LX450) Clean and Solid!

    Second-opinion on FJ80 pre-purchase inspection?

    Hi Guys - was looking at a '94 FJ80 coming out of Michigan. Just got back pics from the mechanic doing the inspection. Pros: exterior and interior looks clean as hell. Cons: looks like some (1) rust on the under carriage, and.... there's some (2) white slime in the engine oil cap. I'd truly...

    Impact of OME 2.5" on ride quality *on roads*?

    Hi Guys - Just got a super clean stock '94 FJ80. This is my first car I'm considering modifying for overlanding.
