Sad Day Fellas. Would love for this to go to a Mudder. Phone number is in the CL ad. Check it out.

So I have had my truck for 2 years now and bought it with a receipt for a AAmco tranny rebuild that was only 10,000 miles old. I have never thought that the truck has shifted quite right, down shifts are delayed, and when I power into them, the RPM's tend to flare a bit more than they should...
So I have been trying to figure out what I wanted to do with all the crap in the back of my truck. Up until this point I had a huge toolbox with all my recovery gear, fluids, tools, general emergency survival stuff strapped down in the back along with my spare tire which was being held in place...
Had an issue pop up with my truck today. I have done some trouble shooting but not too much due to some rather nasty Seattle weather. Took the truck on an 80 mile round trip today and noticed toward the half way point that my idle was a little lower than normal -right at 500 instead of the...
So since the beginning of November, I have been having an intermittent condition where I go to start my truck and it cranks strongly but fails to start. The first time that it happened, I popped the hood, fiddled with the fusible links, and pulled the EFI main relay to check the terminal...
I have been searching for this for a few weeks off and on and am not coming up with much. I will be in the market for new tires by spring time and really liked the old MTR's that I had on my old Pickup. I know that the old style MTR had a huge following, especially within the Toyota Crowd, but...
So last Saturday I threw my first code ever with this rig. The check engine light came on for about 5 minutes and then went back off. I got home and checked the codes the next day and they were 83,84,and 85. All comm failures with the ECU. According to every reliable thread on MUD, this...
So I will be the first to admit it. My long history with cycling and backpacking has me obsessed with weight and cutting off as much as possible. Someone will most likely state that this philosophy and driving an 80 don't mix. I am also an engineer and cannot overlook quality and attention to...
There are many others like it but this one is mine. All in all about 10 hours start to finish. Absolutely no regrets cutting that flimsy rear cross member off. This thing is stout. The exhaust sounds no different without the resonator either.
Does anybody know why the hoses that attach to the hard tube, low pressure power steering lines along the frame underneath the battery do not have part numbers in the fsm? The one that comes right off the top of the gearbox is leaking on my truck and they are not even shown in my fsm. Does...
Tell me what you think. Changes were made in the interests of diverting water in crossings and protecting my new power steering cooler from freeway rocks. I just welded in some thin gauge steel to the lower tubes.
Just picked this 93 up in November. I quickly realized after the drive from Portland to Seattle that I would be doing some work. She made it home with no issues but after some due scrutiny, I came to terms that I should replace the headgasket. Got a couple of my buddies here on MUD together...
I just bought this truck (93 FZJ80) about a month ago. I have decided that since it is not my dd but will take me into the mountains I would like to get the Headgasket out of the way and do some valve work to the top end at the same time. The Head gasket has not totally failed yet, but I would...
I have decided to get rid of my 60. I want an 80 so if you have one and would like some cash on top I am ready to go that route as well. However, per forum rules:
sale price is $1900.00 for mud members. This will be for sale locally in Seattle FYI.
I got her back in may and wanted to get...
So I will be upfront and say that I own a 60, and a Subaru Outback. Originally, when I made these choices I was thinking commuter + fun truck equals perfect driving scenario. However, I just got a job where my commute is 3 miles away from my house. I am thinking that if I sell the Subie and...
Everything was going relatively smoothly until now. I pulled the upper arm and bearing shaft from the knuckle and the bearing fell to pieces and the inner sleeve of the trunion bearing is stuck on the shaft. I have beat it to death and tried using heat as well. Anyone have a good ideas? Am I...
should I just get the marlin kit? I'm trying to do this in a day or two max, and I have access to a hub socket. Are there any other special tools that I should source out? Any other tips besides spraying everything down with blaster the night before? Brakes were recently done so I don't need...
I've got a small oil leak coming from the bottom of the bellhousing on my 82 fj60. There is a little plastic or rubber cap that is in the center of the bottom of the bellhousing that is leaking oil. what is this and how do I fix it? There is also a threaded hole next to the leaking hole but...
