    Brake help needed

    Tried the pump the brake and starting engine trick. Pedal moved away as it should. If it was a bad brake line would I lose brake power throughout the whole system?

    Brake help needed

    My '96 has lost a ton of stopping power, I've replaced the m/c, pads, fluid and bled the system about four times. The pedal is firm. It feels normal at the pedal, she just doesn't have any bite. Could the ABS somehow be involved? Rotors look good. No caliper leaks. Not losing fluid. Any thoughts?

    So what's driving an 80 like vs a 100?

    I pull my 4250# boat all over with my 80, no problems. No bullit up hills but it will easily maintain 60 over the pass. The real advantage to the 80 is it's ease of maintenence, you can touch the oil pan from under the hood. The obdII sensor will tell you if there is a problem and you can...

    Radiator bypass hose broken HELP!!

    UPDATE I put 365 miles on it this weekend with zero issues. I may go Toads route, but unless there is some unseen plumbing INSIDE the cyl. head water outlet, I can't see that hose doing anything.

    Radiator bypass hose broken HELP!!

    Well, I plugged the hose and the radiator, so now the bypass is blocked, took it for a spin, twenty two miles and no issues, it went through a full heat cycle and I watched for anything unusual during cool down. There appear to be no issues. The bypass runs from the little nipple on the...

    Advice on Off-Road Vehicle Choice

    I would look for a solid axle 4R. I have a '84 4R as a DD/toy I bought it with 149,000 on the clock, it now has 220,000 and is still running great. The ultra reliable 22R is a very easy and cheap engine to work on, and the chassis is indestructable. I also have a '96 FZJ80 with F/R elockers...

    Any problems airing-down 9.5" tires on stock rims?

    I've run 8pounds in my33/10.5/15's on 8" rims. Going hard in the sand, powerslides, stuffing the front end while turning. No worries as long as you stay reasonable presure wise.

    80 vs 4Runner

    Late model 4runner is 3" shorter WB 2" shorter overall. I don't think you would notice the difference. I'd go with a Highlander if it's just a grocery getter, or a '90-'95 4Runner with a 22RE if you want to wheel it (103" WB). But if you want to hual your family into the back country for some...

    any votes on which tire size?

    I currently run 285/75/16's and if I could do it over I would go with 255/85/16. Narrow (lighter) tires accelerate and deccelerate better, less frontal area to push through the wind, and I love the look.

    Balancing with golfballs, how many in a 36.5" tire?

    With a radial I would try to balance it before I tried the golf balls, I run six balls per tire in my 38" bias TSL's

    WA state 80's run

    DO NOT! take an 80 on those trails, unless of course you don't care about body damage, I have to 3 point turns in my 103" WB 4R in there. I own an 80 and I love 80's, but that isn't the place for one.

    Biggest Tire on Stock Suspension?

    I have 285/75 Revo's and they are very good, BUT if I could do it over I would get some 255/85's in a similar tread design. A little taller and narrower.

    Wide vs. Skinny

    Don't forget wide tires effect on mileage and acceleration and braking, I recently went from 33/10.5./15 bfg's to 33/12.5/15 MTR's , the wide tires are slower to accelerate and harder to stop. I didn't think 15pds. would make much of a difference but they are night and day.
