    1990 Volvo

    Yesterday I went to look at a 1990 Volvo with a straight 4 to see if I couldn't get it running. The hope was that it wasn't running for a simple reason. Long story short my dad and some other folks at church want to buy a cheap running car for a homeless couple. Well I get to looking at the...

    OME Comp Springs Lift Height

    I've pm'd some folks already but I'd really like to see what kind of lift people are getting from the OME competition springs. From what I've seen from photos it appears these springs lift more than the 3", 4", and 5"'s they are claimed to lift. I would like to see the measurement from the...

    Steering Gear Slop

    Steering is a pet peeve of mine. Any kind of slop in the steering angers me to the point of wanting to get a new vehicle. Having said that I'm trying to get a feel for how much steering slop a new 80 series has. Right now I'm getting about a inch of slop which is within specs, but makes...

    Rear Hatch Window Seal

    This past weekend I decided to tackle the my rear hatch window leak that I've known about for about 10 months. I decided that rather then just seal up the window with urethane, that I would instead replace the gasket. I did this to make sure that the leak would be gone, but also to check up on...

    Getting My Roof Repainted (again!)

    Well about 2 years ago I damaged the roof of my 80 (which coincidentally enough was the same time I lifted it... ok maybe not so coincidentally) and when I had it repaired I had them weld up the roof rack holes while they had the headliner pulled. A year ago I noticed that the repair to the...

    Inner Fender Coating and Removing Tar

    I posted the following in outfitting but haven't received any responses yet which isn't surprising considering that all of 4 people actually go there. My questions here still stand but I also have some 80 specific questions as well. First, what is the coating like in the inner fender on the...

    Cleaning Wheel Wells From Tar

    About a year or so ago I drove through some fresh tar and got it all over my inner fenders. I wondering what is the best way to remove the tar, rocks and all. I played with some acetone, a scrapper, and synthetic steel wool yesterday and removed some of the tar (and paint) but was wondering if...

    Steering Column Noise

    Well I just got back from the NorCal Wagons Death Valley trip and as usual this trip was a test of the endurance of a Land Cruiser. For me the only issue I have is that my steering column seems to like to make a lot of noise when it gets bumpy. It clicks around as though the shaft in the...

    Body Mounts, When to Replace?

    I'm wondering if anyone has replaced their body mounts do to them wearing out? I'm not sure about the condition of mine, but my truck doesn't sit level with the frame. It's shifted about a 1/4 inch to the drivers side and measuring from the center hub to the lip of the fender flair gives a...

    Alrighty, This weekend I put the 6 inch Slee springs on and I'm trying to tune the rear drive shaft. So with my front drive shaft removed I still get some drive line vibes from the rear shaft, however it is only when I just barely touch the throttle. If I accelerate or decelerate I get no...
