I currently have Firestone Destination MTs and they have been great. A little noise but noise from mudders is cool.
I had a set of Bridgestone Dueller MTs for over 10 years before they wore out. Most of the wear was from alignment and/or balance issues. The Firestone/Bridgestone rubber...
I am not really sure but I estimate 10 to 12K. 2008 included a trip from Georgia to Alaska with both 80s. My '97 is my daily driver and I do about 80+ miles a day. My wife's does aout 5 a day going to the school and back.
It seems to me that the slave cylinder goes alot more often than the master. If you haven't replace/rebuilt the master in a while it is worth it to go ahead and do both. I think I got mine as a kit from CCOT. I have also purchased them from th local parts store. Overall, not real expensive...
The mount on the side of the spring plate is stock. I re-mounted my shocks on the the block above the spring that you referred to. I had bought different spring plates and they did not have the pin on them. The was a hole already in the block between the springs and the axle so I just put the...
I was not really complaining about the Weber, just trying to make it run better. Anyway, I am having another fuel/air problem right now. The old girl runs fine until she gets to operating temperature then starts stalling at idle. I just installed a double intake/exhaust gasket and I think...
I have had a Weber 38 on my 2F since 1995 with the mechanical fuel pump. I have never had a regulator and have had relatively few problems, but reading some of these posts makes me believe I need to go that route. I have had no real problems associated with the carb (I think) but have had...
Does anyone know the size, thread pitch, etc. of the two nuts that hold the oxygen sensor down?
Mine blew out of the exhaust pipe all together. Apparently there were no nuts on it. The threads on the studs were rusted. I guess I just never noticed. The bad thing was is that I was near...
I installed an "early" exhaust system from SOR on my '77 which is the same as yours (exhaust that is). I have had it for over 12 years without a heat shield/insulator and have had no problems. I have often thought of getting one but never did. I am sure you could get one cheap from some of...
1. 1996 (White- Hers) and 1997 (Black - Mine) FZJ80
2. John and Katie Maddox
3. No names
4. 1996: 110,000, 1997: 177,000
5. No mods really, my money goes to the FJ40 right now
6. Both are daily drivers but we are driving them both to Alaska in about a month
7. Here is the best picture I...
So far this winter on the '77:
Replaced intake/header gasket
rebuilt the knuckles up front
Still working on replacing all the tie rod ends (will finish this weekend)
Need to fix a leak in the exhaust pipe
I also have the stock linkage. I got the Weber from Man-a-fre with an adapter for the stock set-up rather than the cable. I heard it is much better than the cable linkage. I did add a spring in there to make it idle back down though. If you want, I can take some pictures tomorrow when the sun...
Me too, as far as the sleepless nights. Yes, I am airborne. I went to Airborne school here back in 1993.
I have been to Alaska. I claim it as my home. In fact my FJ40 has done the trip 5 times.
Look forward to seeing your pics.
I have 170,000 miles on her and she is my daily driver. I bought the '97 FZJ80 because I thought it might get better mileage (and ride smoother) than the '77 FJ40 I have been driving daily for 20 years.
