    1996 FZJ80 - Cooling system issues after work done?

    Hi all, over the last year or so, I have been doing a bunch of preventative maintenance on my 80 (cooling system refresh/replace, exhaust, few other thing). Ever since replacing the radiator, thermostat, water pump, and all cooling hoses, it's been weird about the thermostat opening when it...

    Broken exterior door handle fix?

    So, this happened to the driver's side door a while back. It still works, but it's going to break at some point and I'm getting ready to sell the rig. I'm going to fix/replace it, but wanted to know what the best and cheapest way would be? Can I just get a handle and have a body shop paint...

    Help Pricing/Random Offer on 80-series?

    So, I have a trailer I'm selling online and I got a call from a Cruiser fan about my 80 series which is in some of the pictures, haha. I told him I hadn't thought about selling, but that I would consider it. Right now, however, I have no clue what to price it at and was looking for general help...

    1996 - Shudder on Acceleration?

    Update: it now does it generally upon acceleration. Can be 20 mph but usually starts around 30 mph and above. Doesn't matter what gear, or whether it's a hill, etc. Acceleration is the common point. Other possibly pertinent info: - 185k miles - Daily driver - Needs a [I think crank] seal...

    1996 - Exhaust and parts question

    Hi all. Just doing some maintenance (it's that season, apparently) on the ol War Horse and had a few questions. 1.Have a y-pipe that won't stay welded (keeps cracking no matter how many times I hit it). Heard from the local shop (Torfab, Everett, WA) that basically a good replacement will work...

    Squeaky Steering Wheel on Turning???

    Started this winter, thought it was just hitting a plastic housing/trim piece and rubbing, creating a squeal. Got worse, can't find where it's rubbing. No functionality lost, just annoying as hell. Is this an 80 series thing? Does anyone else have this problem, or is it something wrong with...

    Rear Wiper + Defroster Not Working...Ideas?

    Just as the title states. '96 80-series. Just trying to diagnose what's going on with the rear wiper and defroster. The defroster switch works, at least the light comes on. I've checked what I assume are the fuses (lower left hand of the steering column?) and none are blown. I guess it could...

    '96 Factory Roof Rack Questions / Options

    First, got my '96 that's got a factory rack on it. I definitely prefer the factory racks normally as they're better looking to me. Problem is that the roof rack seems really loose to me. As in, loose enough that I'm not putting my Yakima coffin on it because I'm not sure it wouldn't just blow...

    Getting Rid of Old Gas in Rotopax?

    Like the title says. Bought the Rotopax like four years ago for a lengthy trip from US to Alaska and back. Never used them, forgot about the gas in them, I'm sure it's bad, bad, bad. I want to get rid of the old gas and put new gas in them so I can make use of them with the new rig, rotating...

    '96 Catalytic Converter Delete Mod?

    Looked through the FAQ, did Mud and Google searches...not sure why I can't find anything? I'm looking to take both cats out (no emissions here) as I get my Y pipe redone. I'm figuring there's a resister I can fool the ECU with, exhaust guy says he can usually just move the sensor back and that...

    Second Opinion on Price? 1996 w/ lockers

    Just getting a second opinion from the peanut gallery. Asking price is $9000. My gut says the price is fair in terms of the condition of the vehicle, especially after test driving it (but it does seem a smidge high?). But I am NOT objective when it comes to Land Cruisers and fall in love with...

    For Sale  [Washington State] 1990 FJ62 Red - $4000 obo

    [Washington State] 1990 FJ62 Red - $3600 obo First thing: I own the rig outright so everything is negotiable, but I'm not an idiot so no low ballers (sorry, that was for the Craigslist folks). Parts in trade for an '07 FJ Cruiser can be negotiated for cost reduction...

    Added another Cruiser to the family! - or -"How I learned to love car payments again"

    I love ol' Master Chief, the '90 FJ62, but I just didn't have the time to devote to him as a daily driver. So what's the most logical choice? Sell him and buy a newer car? HELL NO. Just buy another Cruiser! One owner, all receipts, 2007, 90k, automatic (wanted a manual but whatever...)...

    What is wrong with this Cruiser that it's so cheap?

    Am I insane? I'm looking at possibly picking up an FJ Cruiser and came across this and I'm thinking "Ok, what's the scam?" http://yakima.craigslist.org/ctd/3460631746.html

    FJ62 Pricing Advice for Possible Sale?

    Mods: if this isn't in the right place or isn't allowed, move/lock at your discretion and apologies in advance. I know this is probably shooting myself in the foot but I've got a couple very long road trips which will involve needing a vehicle which has 100% reliability. My 62 is stout and in...

    What are these wires coming off my battery?

    So normally I'm used to seeing the + cable and maybe an accessory (aux light or amp or whatever) coming off a battery positive terminal. My rig has three other wires coming off the positive terminal and I can't seem to figure out what they go to. One is a weather tight, three wire connector...

    FJ62 Sealed Beam Full HID Bi-Xenon Projector Retrofit how-to and HID FAQ

    So I was searching and hoping that I'd find a FAQ or how-to on this in here but I couldn't seem to find one. Maybe my search terms were wrong? People seem to love to do the harness and H4 upgrade on here and I'm sure it's fine for some people but having only owned cars with HIDs the last ~10...

    Alternator/Battery Issues?

    1990 FJ62... A few weeks ago I started noticing the Cruiser running a bit rough around idle and while stopped at a stop light. As I came to a stop the idle would drop really low but wouldn't die. It would hesitate a bit upon leaving the light/accelerating but I figured it was either the fuel...
