My new-to-me JDM hundo isn't clearing emissions. When I first tested at emissions, I got the following values:
HC GPM 0.0903 (state limit is 0.8000)
CO GPM 5.7097 (state limit is 15.0000)
CO2 GPM 646.6110
NOx GPM 3.443 (state limit is 1.5000) This is what failed me.
The vehicle was running a...
It’s been several years since I was in the Landcruiser world so I’m trying to get reoriented. I want to replace my ignition coils on my LC and want OEM bits. Short of using my local dealership, what are the best options for OE parts?
I'm getting used to my "new" 1998 UZJ100. JDM import with 72,000 miles. Cosmetically beautiful, and nice, supple hoses, belts, etc. I have a few little projects to address (brake flush, AHC flush) and have already been reminded how excellent this forum is.
Driving it in the Colorado foothills...
I've done a little searching and came up empty. Anyone here know of good resources for a speedo overlay from KPH to MPH? I will likely just use some janky electrical tape for the interim but I'd like a cleaner (but ideally impermanent) option.
Thanks
After a few years away and desperately missing my FZJ80, today I got back into the iH8Mud world with a new-to-me JDM import 100 series. It's a 1998, brought over earlier this year from a guy who imports vehicles from Japan as a side hustle. I had just started looking for a gen-1 Tundra access...
SOLD!
Well gang, this sucks. I'm not just selling the LC; I'm selling part of my soul. This is the ad I posted to Craigslist but I'd prefer to see the rig go to a true 80-lover. Please read and forward if you know someone who's interested. More pics are available on the CL ad: 1993 FZJ80 (80...
Hey gang,
I'm starting to look at 17" wheel options to open up more tire choices. I'm currently running factory 80 series alloys (16") with 315s, but I'm thinking of upping to 37s next time I buy tires. There are certainly far more tire options in 17" wheel diameters, so I'm looking into styles...
Hey guys,
A couple of years ago I removed the barely-used third row seats from my 80. I have stored them in plastic bags since then and realized that I have no intention of ever using them again. I have also taken out the rear (third row) seatbelts.
They're in great condition, gray factory...

Hey gang,
I'm in the middle of putting axles back in after diff rebuilds and everything has been going great. Got the DS front axle back in, carefully following the FSM, torquing to spec, setting preload, etc.
When I put the hub flange and just STARTED tightening the flange nuts the hub/rotor...
Hey guys, I'm in the middle of removing my rear diff and I'm stuck. There are three wire connections going to the rear diff lock actuator and only two of them have a harness plug. There is a black wire with a loom of sorts going into the actuator but I don't see any way to disconnect it.
What...
Hey gang,
My pinion seal finally crapped out completely so I'm using the opportunity to regear as I service both the diffs. In reviewing the FSM I saw a pantload of SSTs listed for the removal and installation of various bits.
How many of these are absolutely essential and how many can be...
Howdy, all.
I spent Saturday working on the LC and had the battery out for several hours. After reinstalling and reconnecting everything, I realized that I had no power to the door locks, windows, and seats. Checked the fuses and indeed, I had blown the 30A "FL Power" fuse. I replaced the fuse...
Hey gang,
I'd like input and potential vendors for some rear quarter panel armor. I have managed to drag my 80's a$$ on the Golden Crack in Moab (right side) and the Holy Cross gatekeeper (left side), and nearly took out my taillight on the left side. Photos of my current damage:
I'm...
Hey all,
I searched around a bit and found an old thread comparing Longfields to Nitros (got some helpful info), but I'm looking for more recent info and a comparison of Nitros to RCVs, both in chromoly applications.
For those with experience rebuilding front axles on the FZJ80 I'm collecting...
Howdy all,
I pulled the flares from the FZJ80 a few weeks ago and stuffed some nylon body plugs into the resulting holes to keep water from entering the body (rain, stream crossings, etc.). I plan to line the lower body line: flare arches, rockers, lower door halves, etc.
While I'm not...
Howdy, all.
I'm looking for a deal on the equivalent of an OME medium/medium (851/860) or heavy/heavy (850/863) setup. Need springs, shocks, & caster adjustment bushings. Not looking for more than 2.5" of lift. (Excuses include short wife, running fairly new 285's, don't want to screw with...
Sorry to post what's likely been covered ad nauseum, but I've been unable to find the old stickies on suspension setups.
Anyone here have experience running an OME heavy/heavy (850/863) setup on an FZJ80 with stock bumpers? I haven't decided whether I'll be switching bumpers. If I do, I'll...
Howdy, all.
As the title suggests I'm looking for suggestions/pros/cons for portable air options. I have a buddy with a CO2 can in his J33p and he likes that setup. But I've also spotted this TJM compressor over at Slee that looks pretty handy.
My thoughts: the CO2 can is smaller, taking...
As the title suggests, I'm trying to figure out which way to go here. In the next few months I expect to be talking to the guys at Slee and getting either a set of their sliders, or a set of the slider steps. I really like the clean look of the naked sides (with F/R flaps) but am concerned about...
