OK... my choke cable mechanism is broken at the dash. As most of you know, there is a knob that you pull to engage the choke. That know is screw attached at the end and it has a plastic piece that works between the back of the dash and the front of the dash to engage the push pull. It broke...
I have been struggling with my A/C for several years. It has slowly stopped holding charge and finally will not hold a charge for more than about a week.
I need some real help to get this thing up and running properly. Not a quick fix or a rigged situation. It has been converted to R34a.
I...
Been a while...
Question... did searches and it says a lot about towing WITH a 60 but nothing on towing a 60. I have friends with a Ranger, etc... but my 60 can do as much or better.
How do I tow it to my favorite locations?
My 84 has been running hot lately. I checked the belt for the water pump/smog pump and it was loose. I tightened it and now it squeals like a pig every time I hit about 2200 rpms. There was grease on the pulleys and I cleaned them but it still squeals if it is tightened to spec's of 1/4 inch...
Before I dig in and since I just found this out tonight when my wife followed me home, I thought I would ask the powers that be on ih8mud...
I got a brake light out... drivers side. When I turn on the headlights, it works just fine but when I use the brakes... no go. When the headlights are...
Is it feasible? I put about 22K a year on a car.
I have looked over the FAQs, but I want personal opinions. I love the FZJ80, but wonder what the expenses might be on a 150K truck even if it was well taken care of...
Responses are much appreciated!
I have ordered an OME setup for new springs etc... and I need the recommendation of a good trustworthy 4x4 shop in the Dallas area to do the installation. Anyone have a good shop in the area they can recommend?
Thanks in advance...
Hey guys... I need some opinions from guys who are a bit more knowledgeable on these subjects than me. I can change oil and replace minor stuff, but once you get into frames, suspensions, etc... I am in over my head and have very little tooling to do these things. So, here goes:
I have a...
I got 2 inch shackles with OME MD shocks and 31" tires which actually measure 28" (they are Pathfinders). Can I put a 2" spring lift on it and put 34" (true) tires on it and not have to adjust brake lines, PS lines, etc...?
If I were to look for a used 2003 Lexus, what would be the features I would have to have, i.e. lockers, etc... I know this is subjective so I appreciate your opinions.
Is this a good idea?
What are the pro's and con's of the 100?
What year is the most desireable?
Is there a thread that addresses this stuff?
I ask these questions from 2 directions. First, I have an 84 fj60 and wish I had bought an 87 due to the bolt up 5 speed, sway bar attachments...
To start my 60 it must be choked 90% of the time even if it is hot. It didn't used to be this way. I will choke it and it is hard starting, but it always starts. Then I drive it for about 3-5 minutes and most of the time if I put in the clutch it will die immediately. It will stay running at...
The best year for an FJ40? (aka I may sell my 60.)
I have an 84 FJ60. It's in good condition and I have spent some money on it in the last 5 years with new pumps (obviously Smog was done) manifolds, etc. It would be hard to let it go, but I am thinking it will just not do it for me unless I put...
First time poster... just registered. This forum is great! I have been surfing it the last several nights. I searched on this topic, but did not come across anything concrete so here goes...
