Has anyone heard of, or tried, to weld a bead on the worn parts of a spindle (where the bearing rides) and then turn the spindle down on a metal lathe to get it back to spec? I'm having a hard time cracking my wallet for another $500 on this knuckle rebuild. Both spindles are worn on the bottom...
Have searched and can not get a good answer as to which way the rubber wiper on the back of the knuckle should face - ridge facing diff. or ridge facing spindle. Here's what I found:
Removed both sides and paid close attention to original orientation. BOTH sides had ridge facing the Spindle...
Hello,
I am in the middle of a knuckle rebuild (91 FJ80 214,000 miles and probably never serviced) and would like some input. I am questioning if I should swap sides with the birfs. I do not get any clicking now while I am driving forward (maybe a little with the wheel hard over). I DO get...
AT light, Brake light, and low battery light all came on at the same time. It did this last month and the voltage regulator was bad. Had the alternator rebuilt and it worked fine for 30 days althought the voltage gauge didn't seem to go up as high as it did before this happened. All electronics...
These shirts are a heavy duty Gildan T-Shirt. The front left chest has the oval logo and the back of the shirt has the Twin Cam design or the 3FE design. They are not cheap, see through shirts. You will not be disappointed with the quality.
I will make black shirts with white graphics and...

I also have some 3FE shirts for those of us that aren't in a hurry to get anywhere. Email me for...
Twin Cam shirts have been moved to the "Clothing" section and Twin Cam Decals have been moved to the "Merchandise Storefront" section. Thanks for all of the interest.
Twin Cam Decal reproductions are available. I found out that trying to get the originals is difficult, if not impossible. The ones I have are high quality vinyl graphics used mostly for store windows, boat names, signs, etc. They look good and will last many years. Many colors are available but...
no more decals or shirts
I received a suggestion that Twin Cam T-Shirts would be cool. Unfortunately I can't get them to you without looking like a vendor. Any previous communications with interested people will be handled through email, not PM's.
Sorry,
Tusk74
If anyone is interested in Twin Cam Decals PM me. I have them ready to go. I sent several already and haven't had any complaints so I'm sure they will meet your expectations.
'91 FJ80 wouldn't start after driving for 10 minutes. Turned the key and the normal dash lights came on, but the starter would not engage. No click or anything, just silence. This happened once last month when I was getting it out of storage. I turned the key on and off several times and the...
Two Questions I'm interested in getting opinions on:
1. Is there reason to believe 1fz's start up too fast, limiting the amount of oil to the bearings causing the rattle?
2. If one could disable the EFI for a short time period during start up to allow the oil to circulate, how long of a...
Selling my '96 in favor of my '91. 122K miles, Green, int. is good, body is good (no dents, nice paint), Drives like new, no leaks, updated head gasket. Need around 10.5 but will listen to offers. In Michigan.
I have a '91 80 and a '96 80. The insurance on the '96 is more than double the '91????? My mother is my insurance agent so you'd think I'm not getting screwed (keep your comments to yourselves please... haha). I have a clean record and no accidents and am still paying $950 every 6 months! This...
