    Has anyone here encountered an A343F shuddering from low or burnt fluid?

    The subject line is the question. Sound off if you have. :) Mark...

    Smacked a moose a couple of days ago... I love my ARB.

    This is kinda long. If you know me, that will not surprise you. ;) This makes the second Moose that has tried to occupy the same space as one of my Cruisers on a dark and icy road. The first time, just over 13 years ago it was just outside of Whitehorse Yukon. My FJ62 with just enough front...

    Death wobble? Don't overlook this...

    Tossing this out to hopefully get it into the search fodder for anyone else... My primary '80 sees a lot of varied use. Daily driven year round, relatively high speed "rallying" on higher speed rocky trails, a bit of more technical crawling and a lot of deep muddy ruts mixed in on other trails...

    Very subtle cruise control glitchiness

    I recently noticed that when set at 65, or 70 (and likely anywhere else) my CC in my primary '80 has a very very tiny on and off nature. 99% of drivers would not notice it, but it is there. Instead of a rock steady throttle application on flat level terrain, it is a constant on and off. It is...

    Freeze plug heater for the 1FZ, available at your local parts store

    This is not exactly a eureka moment or any great revelation. But for what it is worth and to get the knowledge in the search fodder... We all know what a pain in the butt it has been to track down the correct freeze plug heater for the 80 series. If you go to the OEM part number, it is of...

    Planning stages for a dedicated roadtripper build

    The goal and intended usages of this rig will be a bit different than most. Not extremely different, but slightly so. The rig in the end will probably be fairly routine regardless of the motivations for the end result. What I am starting with is a totally stock 1995 FZJ80. No lockers right...

    Headers for the 3FE?

    Does anyone still make a header for the 3FE? Does not look like MAF has them any longer. :( I am doing a 2FE build for a customer and we would love to free up the exhaust flow. I have a nice set of 6-2-1 2F headers I could modify, but would prefer to just bolt a set on that works with no mods...

    Laser lighting

    Does anyone here have an FIRST HAND experience with any of the laser based highbeam augmentaion that is out there. I have seen some online info and it looks very intriguing as a long distance pencil beam support for a decent set of LED or HID headlights and an LED lightbar for the near and...

    Alaska Cruiser Trek 2020? Discussion opportunity/chance for input as the decision time is approaching.

    As chance would have it, I have been pondering the past few days about whether to pull the trigger on making the Alaska Cruiser Trek 202 happen or not. The question was asked in Mud Chat today. This is a link to that thread... Input solicited. It might not be heeded, but it is solicited. ;)...

    I figured the Knights would appreciate this one

    The earthquake this morning that felt like it was going to tear the building down managed to shake the battery out of this clock without actually dropping it off the wall . Pigs never die easy I guess. Mark...

    Clearing out the yard and thinning out the herd.

    The time has come. I never meant to have a junk yard, but over the last 20 years I have collected one. it is time to clear it all out. We are going to be dedicating some of it to a cell phone tower in the spring and that has tipped the scale enough that it is time to pull the trigger and clean...

    Searching for an old thread about modified axle housing...

    Hey guys, I know... "Use search!" But Iv'e had no luck so far and to make it worse, the connection I am using at the moment is glacier slow. Keeps timing out before even returning any results. :( I am hoping that someone might remember an old thread that I believe was here in the Hardcore...

    Alaska Cruiser Trek... Happening again in 2016

    I haven't been sending much time online and even less participating in any forums for a couple of years now. And actually I guess that holds true for most of the folks who have been involved in making the Alaska Cruiser Trek happen in the past. And it seems that several years have slipped by...

    Lets cook up some backcountry fun. .. Alaska Cruiser Trek 2015 is starting brew.

    Every time we begin to think that maybe we'll let the Cruiser Trek slip away, something prompts us to reconsider and the next thing you know we are back on the trails, crossing bogs fording rivers and climbing glaciers in the company of another great group of visiting Cruiser Guys (and girls)...

    incorrect orings on injectors... don't do this

    I have a 1992 Fj80 in the shop today. I had been talking off and on with the owner and he has bought a few little parts from me but i had never worked on the rig. He had called looking for advice on leaky fuel injectors a couple of times. Seemed to be having a problem solving it. The he wanted a...
