    Best tires for daily city driving with weekend camping and beach

    285 16 Duratrac's here (E-load range). On/Off Road Commercial Traction Tire. I am in the PNW, and have used them in the sand, dirt, snow, rock, mud, black ice on pavement, and everything in between. The only times I have had a problem is not airing down enough in deep snow with open diffs...

    FJ55 Project Rusty Gold

    Delicious! I did the same thing with an FJ80, and have my eye on a local FJ55.

    Goodyear Duratrac or BFG KM2?

    I'm running the Duratrac as well, ~8000 miles wearing very well. They run smooth and quiet. (I have the E-rated sidewalls). Originally planned on Cooper AT's; but the local tireshop suggested the Duratracs to the moon; they've had lots of happy folk as well. I did more research, went back and...

    First guy to be upset with getting 21 mpg in an 80?

    FWIW: Even with the "Magic Screw" adjusted, and a part-time 4wd conversion on the front end, I only ever saw 11.9-12.9 mpg with the gasser 3FE; though I too want to believe the dream. Everyone else has suggested dyslexia; I'll be a little optimistic, and suggest that perhaps the phone was...

    FZJ80 No Start/Spark, Cranks Fine

    I have a new "Import Direct" (O'reillys import brand) coil new on the shelf from my diesel swap, I replaced it two weeks prior to the swap. You are welcome to it for the cost of shipping if you want it.

    Diesel Transplanted 80 series Registry

    Thankee, there sure is a lot of custom fab involved, as well as quite a bit of custom BFH'ing!

    80 Series rig collides with Fiberglass Camper shell Idea

    Hey Mikesta, no thread on the camper idea; I've got plenty of other fish to fry with my current project! I was just playing around with some free software for sh**ts and grins. I have checked out the chinook pop-tops as well for ideas. What a fun project! Do you plan to air-bag the rear end...

    Chassis/frame too rusty: Can you buy a new frame?

    FWIW: Full frame from Pick N' Pull is ~$250; half price for members tomorrow... there is an 1992 in the yard down the road. On this coast we don't have rust, and around here you would just file the appropriate paperwork with the DOL to make sure it is legit. Must be less expensive than a new...

    80 Series rig collides with Fiberglass Camper shell Idea

    Awesome project, I have been thinking on a similar vein for awhile. I was thinking about designing a pop-up "slip-on" Camper that would only require 3 x3" reese style hitches in the rear bumper, plus mounts to secure the top to the rails. The roof rack bolt would secure the deck as well, with...

    A Humble FJ80 OM617 R151F Swap

    Hey Guys, I went through and fixed quite a few of the broken links. I just cleared 10k miles on the swap about a week ago. Kief- I see 16-18 mpg realistically; but I almost always take-off spiritedly, and at 70-80mph she doesn't exactly "slip" through the air. I am very pleased with the...

    Diesel Transplanted 80 series Registry

    I've done that... but my build thread is pretty ramshackle! 1. 1992 FJ80 2. OM617 to R151f; '85 4runner locking hubs for Part time 4wd 3. The motor and transmission work quite well together, lots of room in the engine bay, didn't change gearing. Power steering routed perfectly. 4. All the...

    A Humble FJ80 OM617 R151F Swap

    I ended up cutting and stick welding a set of Craftman 14 mm's; they work great! I had to narrow them with an angle grinder a bit, but at the time I needed them right away, and building my own was faster and cheaper than ordering. If I were to do it again, I would likely use a cheaper set, as...

    A Humble FJ80 OM617 R151F Swap

    Hey Gang, Quick update: -Just cleared 8K miles on the swap! -Have the oil pan Band-Aid'd together, no problems, but a few other seals/fitttings need a little attention. -Have FJ60 Arb bumper on the front, got it from a fellow that had it on a 1st gen Bronco oddly enough... -Tinkered with the...

    For Sale  FJ60 Alert - Low miles at auction! Martinez CA area

    Hey guys, I saw this and thought I should give you a heads up, it is listed as a USAA rig, so it was likely a service members vehicle before it got to Auction. Clean Title. Sliders, Rear spare bumper... Pretty strait, looks like decent paint. Someone could give this old girl a good home...

    STOLEN Yet another stolen FJ60, this time its mine!

    That's what I thought for my beat up 4runner that disappeared!... Is this one in your area? http://www.copart.com/c2/homeSearch.html?_eventId=getLot&execution=e2s1&lotId=16198594&returnPage=SEARCH_RESULTS

    Aisin freewheeling hubs.

    I used the Aisin hubs putting in an R151f, the 4runner/truck '85 hubs fit the 91-92 80's with no spacer; and I believe the 93+ need the spacer, if I remember correctly.

    LX450 1HZ Turbo Diesel & 5speed swap

    I'm not sure how MTN did it, but I accessed D through the ecu harness behind the glovebox. I grabbed the 12v (switched) from there too. Hey MTN, were you able to hook up both D and R, or do you switch on D just for cruise? ( I have the R light rigged to the shifter as well.)
