    Red Hot Mama!

    Well, took the 80 into a family acquaintance’s shop today to help diagnosis this red hot manifold issue….they did a road test but don’t think they went up the steep highway I did when I saw the glowing manifold . So, of course they couldn’t duplicate the issue but here’s the findings…...

    Red Hot Mama!

    Good idea about the temp gun! Heard that bit of advise from a muffler shop I called today also. Stay tuned, got to see if I can borrow a temp gun from work.

    Red Hot Mama!

    I can only see the outlet end of the front cat and it looks fine. There's no joint at the inlet end of the front cat to seperate. The exhaust tube from the exhaust manifold is welded to the inlet of the front cat. So, how do you check that end of the cat? Nothing changed on the engine...

    Red Hot Mama!

    So, vac leak and then maybe change the O2 sensors (which are original with 144k) is next on my list. Both could cause a lean mixture condition. probably several other things can too...like what? Have a short trip planned to the mtns in a couple weeks and want to get this fixed before then...

    Tuffy storage box for a FJ cruiser in a FJ80?

    Tuffy Yeah, they don't make one for the FJ80 specifically. The FJ Cruiser drawer runs about $600 "plus options" which isn't too bad compared to some of the other Outback or other drawer systems which are REALLY nice but run $1500 ish.

    Tuffy storage box for a FJ cruiser in a FJ80?

    I saw an ad recently where Tuffy Security Storage products is marketing one of their boxes for the FJ Cruiser. Has anyone seen one of these and think it could be adapted to fit an FJ80? Haven't looked into it much but was thinking the main box would fit and the side wings would probably have...

    Man-A-Fre front spring spacers

    Sure enuff Hold the crap. After reading what you guys said about the spacers sliding up under load I continued the install. And as the springs loaded up the spacers they did start sliding up! Well, this site is pretty great because without it I would have probably stopped the spacer...

    Man-A-Fre front spring spacers

    same spacer fit problem Wow, this site is great. I'm installing the same MAF spacers right now and ran into this same fit question. Spacers won't slide on all the way. Is this really right that they'll slide up further under load? Seems like there's got to be alot of material stretching to...

    How tall to sit up front in a FJ80??

    good link Hey Hoser, thanks for the link. Good info there. Looks like if WWIII happens we can move the 11yr old up front until things "calm down". But you know I find it amazing but my dad bought a brand new CJ-5 in Oakland in 1969. A front passenger seat was an option back then which...

    How tall to sit up front in a FJ80??

    ok from the NHTSA site 4'9" and at least 80lbs >>> If your vehicle has a passenger air bag, it is essential for children 12 and under to ride in the back. <<< ok 12yrs old. But it seems to me it's not age but height and weight which should determine this. In another location on the...

    How tall to sit up front in a FJ80??

    Hey All, we're contemplating a trip to Yellowstone this June. Planning on driving the FJ80 from Calif to Wy in 2 days. We're a family of five, 2 boys - 9 and 11 and a daughter 4. Kinda worried about world war III happening in the 2nd row sit though on the long drive out there. 3rd row seats...

    TLC4x4 cargo barrier?

    Hoser (like the name) Yeah tried Slee, first actually, they don't have any on-hand. Also, they're not the direct importer (if that's the right term) so they don't get them from Milford directly and don't know when the next batch will be boated over.

    TLC4x4 cargo barrier?

    Yeah, right after I poised my question...I thought that might just be a Milford. Midwest Land Cruiser is an importer but they don't have any on hand and don't know when they'll see any.

    TLC4x4 cargo barrier?

    Hey All, I'm looking for a sturdy cargo barrier for the 80. Milford is my first choice (several guys here gave it good reviews) but they are not readily available. I saw the TLC4x4 website has a barrier...linky...(will linky work?)...

    Auto Door Lock Anyone???

    Speaking of alarms...funny/odd thing happened to my alarm this weekend. Going down the highway, all of sudden the horn starts honking, interior lights start flashing and head lights start flashing. I'm instantly thinking this isn't good, electrical melt down starting? Turns out I had asked my...

    Hi, new to the forum. Just got an 85 FJ60 with 181K a month ago and been enjoying this forum to learn more about the TLC's. Last night had some excitement, crusing along the head lights went out and then came back on a few long seconds later! Happened 4 time in the 1/2 hr drive on a 2 lane...
