    '93 front mudflaps, flared, no side step cut out?

    I have a '93 FZJ80 with factory wheel arch flares. I've removed the factory side steps, and the mudflaps have cut outs where the side steps were. Did any '93 have flares and no sidesteps? Bonus points if someone can give me a part number for mudflaps with no cut out, if they exist?

    Poll - paint colour combo

    I have a Maroon Red 80. It has the typical clear coat failure on the roof and hood. It has busted OEM fender flares that I need to repair and replace before getting the vehicle roadworthy inspected for registration. I have sourced some decent used OEM flares, but they still need some touching...

    Rate my TIPS (spark plug condition)

    Short story: Just put a used engine in my FZJ80. Condition and history unknown It sat partly exposed to weather for 6months to a year? Maybe longer. On start up, timing was off. Had to roughly tweak it to get it running. It fires on maybe 4 cylinders. Pulling plug leads suggested a problem...

    1HZ HZJ105 Immobilizer fuel cut solenoid

    I recently set up the 1HZ engine I removed from my old 2002 HZJ105 on a stand so I can run it, and do some work on it. 105 series 1HZ have a smart RFID key and an engine Imobilizer module on the injector pump fuel cut solenoid. For me to start the engine out of the chassis, I needed to...

    New clutch not disengaging

    I've recently had the engine out of my fzj80, and fitted a new clutch kit while it was out. Old clutch still had some life in it, but pedal feel was deteriorating, and I'd had some slipping offroad. I'd previously adjusted the pedal position, and pushrod adjustment etc as per the FSM. Push rod...

    replacing fusible link with breakers. What do i need to know

    I'm currently rebuilding my 1fz-fe, and tidying up my engine bay and accessory wiring while the engine is out. PO has replaced the main 100amp fusible link with a 100amp maxi-blade fuse in an inline fuse holder. Its been kind of poorly done and I want to remove it. I accidentally shorted...

    '93 1fz-fe engine knock. Main bearings = toast = cracked crank

    I noticed an odd growl from my 80 in the past few days when RPM was approaching 2500-3000rpm. At first I thought it was an odd exhaust note. I spent a week camping and offroad a week ago, so figured maybe my exhaust had cŕapped its pants. (I had made some field repairs to fix a rattle and a...

    White smoke, fuel rich exhaust smell. Hydro locked engine.

    Tell me it ain't true! Tonight, slowing down for a red light, I noticed a bad miss, and a lot of smoke out the exhaust. Smoke was white. I drive another 200 yards to get the 80 of the road. Miss and smoke persisted. I shut it down, and got out of the car. There was a very fuel rich smell...

    Source for 4.3:1 gearset??

    Hi y'all I'm looking for a set of 4.3:1 diff gears to sit FZJ80 rear diff. So far no dice. Anyone know of a source for quality gearsets in this ratio? I have an OEM e-locked front diff centre that I had built with 4.3:1 gears and solid surface for a 105 series that I'd like to use in my 80, I...

    Siping tires for wet weather? Worth the effort?

    So I have a set of Nitto Terra grapplers 305/70r16 on my 80. They are about 18 months old and still have plenty of tread depth on them. I've put maybe 30k km on them or 20k miles. They have become unpredictable in wet on road conditions, to the point where I'm thinking it's time to ditch them...

    93 FZJ80 - Advanced timing now have rough idle

    On Saturday I fitted new air filter, spark plugs, plug leads, dizzy cap, rotor button and distributor o-ring. I also advanced the static timing to 10 degrees BTDC. Throttle body was cleaned about 6 months ago. Truck is running crisp, and pulling a lot stronger, and picks up better at low RPM...

    Why is my fzj80 allergic water?

    So I did search lots. New search function blows goats! I degreased and hosed down my engine bay with a garden hose. (I'm used to diesels!) Afterward, the engine runs like a three legged goat. Running rough. Won't rev past 2000RPM, it cuts out, almost completely dies, then picks up again...

    Was topping up engine oil the other day, and noticed my $2 fuel filter on my extended front diff breather is 1/2 full of diff oil. Should I be concerned? Whats a possible cause?

    Weird electrical buzz from driver side mirror

    Hey, as per title, I have a weird electrical buzz / squeal coming from my driver side mirror intermittently. It's got me puzzled. Sounds a bit like the squeal you get from a MOFSET transistor in a cordless drill when you just barely squeeze the trigger. Sometimes it will do it a couple of times...

    Any gotcha's when removing an unknown alarm

    My new to me '93 FZJ80 has an unknown alarm system in it that doesn't appear to work properly. I'm not really familiar with alarm systems, so I did some searching which helped a bit. I'm thinking if I trace all the connections and cut and repair any splices to the original harness it should be...
