Planning to do an engine swap on my J**p this winter. Wondering if someone has an engine hoist to loan. Willing to repay the loan with unskilled labor or random used 80 parts.

I know this is a Toyota Forum but I also know there is a wide range of knowledge/experience here as well. Does anyone here have experience with a good engine tech? Specifically for the Mopar 4.0 I6. ***Flame Suit On*** Any leads are greatly appreciated!
Of course, the 4.5 I6 in the LX is...
My family and I are passing through Utah in my 80. After hearing awful clunks from the RR wheel we stopped in Lehi and I found that three of the wheel studs have sheared. Guessing the shop that swapped on my new wheels didn’t torque them at all. We are lucky to be alive!
I would be eternally...

Over the weekend I adjusted my parking brake (bell crank and expander bolt) and today when I drove it it felt like the rear wheel was hopping @ ~30MPH. After removing the wheel the rear rotor was HOT. Tried pulling the rotor off but no luck, it'll wiggle but won't come free. It feels like to...
Does anyone have a copy of the ARRL HAM Radio License manual 4th Ed. I could borrow? I won't start working on the license until next month but want to prep asap. Also, any tips would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Hey all,
I'm wondering if anyone here has had any luck shipping a vehicle? (Sadly not a Cruiser) I've read quite a few horror stories and wonder if anyone here can provide a referral. It'll be coming to BZN from Boston.
Thanks in advance,
Chris
I'm installing a new audio system in my LX and will not be utilizing the subwoofer built into the center console. I like the center console of the LC much better. Does anyone know if a LC console will be a R&R swap?
If so, any thoughts on a source for a clean used one?
Thanks!
Hey all,
I'm baselining my new LX and just swapped out my front diff oil. When I removed the fill bolt, some oil dripped out, a good sign. When I drained the oil, I got about 3.8 quarts of oil out. BTW, oil looked clean, no funk on bolt magnet. I refilled with about 2.8 quarts, which filled it...
Hey all,
I'm new to the 80 series and am planning to baseline my LX soon. Went to order a trans filter from my local NAPA and gave them my build date, December, 2005. Their system shows the trans to be the A341E but my limited research shows it should be the A343. Is either of us right? Am I...
Howdy,
I started the PS fluid flush on my 60 but after getting about 4-5 ounces of black fluid to pass thru, including a couple of chunks, no more will flow thru. I've spun the wheel at least a couple of hundred times so far and am stuck at a buddy's shop. I'd appreciate any help you've got.

I'd like to add power windows to the front of my '84 60. I'm wondering if I can just pull the guts out of 62 doors and wire them up. Has anyone done this or suggest a better route to go?
Thanks!
I just swapped in Raybestos 4Runner calipers and new Brembo rotors. My M/C is stock. I flushed all of the brake lines using a pressure bleeder (RR,LR,RF,LF). 1500 miles ago I replaced my dead booster with new 4Runner booster and it has always worked great.
My pedal now goes almost to the floor...
How do I know when I've got them in far enough? I can feel them spinning free unless I tilt the outer end up or down. Then I can feel it "catch" but it won't stay there. If I get the inner end into the spines on the diff carrier will it be obvious? Should the turning the front driveshaft then...
I'm finally getting my rebuilt knuckles/birfs/brakes tied back together but couldn't find any info on how much to tighten the bolts for knuckle oil seals. I know I don't want to compress the felt too much and right now I've got them "firmly snug". The passenger side was only finger tight when I...
I am replacing rotors and pads and as soon as I took off one hub, I found oil mixed with the grease. I need to replace the inner seals and already have the Marlin seals from Curt. I've researched and bookmarked a least a dozen Mud threads but couldn't find the answer to this question: Can I...
Just finished the front springs install which went in with no problems. OME doesn't seem to provide a lot of details though. Is this the correct orientation for the shock top bushings? (gap is shock top perch).
Thanks!
