After new pads, shoes, lines, new master cylinder, new reservoir, new calipers and new wheel cylinders my 80 has stuck brakes. The dreaded smell still lingers as i type this. I was wondering what would cause this to happen. My pedal feel is solid but not too stiff. Braking feels predictable. I...
Before installing the set of Mcgard Spline drive lug nuts, I notice that the supplied tool is very light and cheap feeling. I read around on other forums saying that the tool will break after several uses. I purchased the kit from lugshack.com with 3 extra tools just in case any of them break. I...

After contemplating a rear main seal job, i read a few posts about changing the input seal. My questions are, is there an actual pan gasket or is it fipg? is there a filter gasket also? part numbers welcome.
thanks.

Just wondering.

I am kicking myself for unknowingly driving around with my atf 2 liters low:bang::bang::bang:. I went to a shop to remove a nail in my front DS tire. The gave a safety inspection and checked trans fluid level. Low and behold it read low;(that is me driving around for about 20 mins.)
I did not...
I am thinking of adding security screws to my front turn signals because today i found 1 missing on the left side. I know the part number (81619‑20200) but don't know the thread. Anybody add security screws on their 80?
Thanks
I had a 2.5" TJM Progressive lift installed two weeks ago with the taller springs (labeled L/H) on the USDS. I am now leaning on the right. Just by looking at my 80 it seems that the LEFT is higher on the left by 1" or more. I was wondering if trim packer, spacers, etc would correct the uneven...
I broke off the adjustment dial on my shocks. Does anyone know of a replacement?. I contacted TJM & warranty is not valid as I'm not in the US.
Thanks

It's about time I started a build thread. About me, I'm an American expat living in the Philippines. I acquired my 1991 FJ 80 (affectionately coined by my friends as the Scarlet Woman) in April 2011. It was in so-so condition then.
In June 2011 I had a full tune up done; plugs, wires, dizzy...
I was wondering if I should have some type of thread-locker or anti-seize on the nuts and bolts of the suspension e.g. shock studs, etc. I have already sprayed penetrating oil (WD 40) on the bolt to be removed and will install my TJM lift on Saturday. What is your advice on thread locker...
after avoiding a motorcycle accident and swerving to the shoulder i caught a nail in my front passenger tire center tread. I haven't seem to lose air & made it safely home.
How far can i travel to get my tire repaired? It's early sunday morning so most places would be closed. I would have to...

Theres a crack on my headlight trim and all the chrome is flaking off. I plan to paint it, once i know how to fix the damage on the piece.
Guys, what materials could I use to repair the crack? Bondo, fiber glass, JB weld? Besides sanding, what other methods can be used to remove...
I need to know how many hose clamps are used for the radiator. I'm looking to upgrade my recently replace hose clamps with something that'll last a long time.
I saw on AJIK's website that there are constant torque clamps. I also see that there is none available for the 3FE.
Anybody know the...

I just noticed that my FJ80 is lower on the left side than the right. I just pumped 3/4 full tank of gas. It looks to be about an inch lower on the left than the right.
I have stock suspension, no lift whatsoever.
I have read about cruiser lean but don't know exactly what it is.
Anything...
