    UCA comparisons by number?

    Hi all, I've been looking around a few places and have yet to find answer on the drop difference between UCA's that was backed by any numbers/measurements. I have the newer model SPC UCA's on my FJC. Have had them for almost a year. No complaints. When doing some research on other items, l/t...

    Steering rack install / swap

    Hey all, I know a few people have installed the older FJC steering racks (2006-2009) in 2010+ FJC's. Are they a bolt for bolt swap? Or do you have to modify anything? (I've read mixed articles on this) I'm pretty close to needing a swap, and have some tie rod parts that are not compatible with...

    Long Travel Front Control Arms

    Who has installed a long travel control arm setup on their FJC? I'm researching the different ones out there but have not seen many FJCs actually running any. The ones I've looked at are from All-Pro, Chaos Fabrication, Camburg, and Dirt King. I'm leaning towards All-Pro setup right now. It's...

    2010 inner tie rod bolt size?

    Hey all - I bought a camburg steering clevis kit for my 2012 fjc. Turns out the M22x1.5 is too small for 2010 - 2014. Anyone know of a quality adapter, or a M24x1.5 clevis kit? I believe the M24x1.5 is correct. Not the easiest part to find measurements on.

    Performance chips on 1GR-FE dual VVTi

    Hey All- Been a bit since I've posted a question in the FJC section, so here goes. Anyone here try, or use any performance chips? The one I'm looking at is the Unichip. I can't seem to find one that adjusts transmission shift points based on tire size. I know the edge obd2 device does this for...

    A343F slipping forward 2 to 3

    I keep reading there is a lot of threads on this, but I'm failing to find one that is similar to what I am experiencing. After ignition when putting the transmission into drive it will shift correctly in 1 to 2, but once in 2 almost immediately shifts/slips into 3. At first I was thinking it...

    FZJ80 1FZ-FE shifting at low RPM

    I recently did a HG change and am running into some issues after putting everything back together. Main issue is shift points are super low. It's shifting between 1.5 - 2.25. First thought was vacuum issues. I don't believe they are causing the symptoms but still could be. My suspension is the...

    ECT Cut Switch?

    Putting the engine back together after a head gasket replacement. The electrical connector on the ECT cut switch broke. Can't find it for sale anywhere. If I attempt to soder the connections together, will I be ok? It seems like it's just to shut the AC pump off in the event of over heating?

    Adjustable Panhard Rod Help

    Hey Folks, I purchased an adjustable front and rear panhard rod to try and shift my axles back to center. I'm running a 3inch suspension and adjusted the panhard rods about 1/4 inch longer than stock (was the recommended length). The axles are still about a 1/2inch further to right. Do I just...

    Hey all - Looking to swap out my ring an pinion from stock to 5.29. Around town driving on 35's is killing me. Had a few questions I was looking for advice on. Is 5.29 really going to top me out at around 65mph/3000rpm? I don't do a ton of interstate driving, but trips to trails will be a bit...

    New Project 95 FJ80 - Transmission Concerns

    Hi Everyone! Been a few years since I've been on the FJ80 side of the site. Just bought a 1995 FJ80 to replace my DD (2012 FJC, which has been a great rig!). I drove the FJ80 about 200 miles back from the purchase and didn't fell any major tranny issues. However, the prior owner said every once...

    FJC rear axle swap

    Has anyone done a rear axle upgrade? I don't know that I need to do one. Planning on going up 35s here soon. Better to upgrade it now than snap it on the trail.
