    Possibly overtightened drive belts

    As I was replacing my alternator last week I decided to swap out the drive belts as well. I used gates belts. I'm now getting a loud whir/whine noise that makes me think a bearing is bad somewhere. It reminds me of the whine that a failing power steering makes. Ive checked the PS pump and its...

    Fleetwood Element vs Evolution

    Hey guys, quick question - does anyone happen to know the build quality difference between the element (graphite model) and the evolution campers? The evolution replaced the element in 2007 and added the toy hauler, but the element was still billed as an off-road trailer. I’m curious if the...

    Wanted  Pop Up Camper - Fleetwood Evolution E1, Element etc...

    This is probably a long shot, but what the hell... I'm looking to buy a pop-up camper. So far I'm mostly interested in the Fleetwood Evolution and Element series, but am open to other comparable models. I'd prefer something with a few more amenities than an off-road tent trailer and something...

    Leak from near PHH and knock sensor problems after tip over on the trail

    I had a little left side tip over on a trail recently and the rig sat on the DS for about 2 hours. Later that evening I noticed a small coolant leak and then the engine started running rough. It then threw the code for the knock sensor. I've replaced the PHH (last year) and confirmed that the...

    Removing exterior door trim on a 40th anniversary

    Super technical question here.... I'm currently having some body work done and noticed the door trim ( the thick piece that runs from the front fender to the rear fender) on my 40th anniversary is peeling off. I figure why not just ditch it and have the paint under it redone? Problem is I...

    Had a trail accident and need info/advice on replacing entire roof

    Well, it pains me to type this, but I had a bit of an accident on Saturday and it looks like my roof is going to need some surgery. It was the maiden trail voyage of my 97 FZJ80 after I had spent a few years pouring lots of blood and sweat into her (with LOTS of help from this forum) and now it...

    Considering buying this M12000. Thoughts and opinions?

    Here it is. I hate to post a "should I buy this" thread, but my winch knowledge is zero, and the seller takes a long time to respond to questions and doesn't have a lot of info. I'll be in their neck of the woods on Sunday (bout 1.5 hrs from my house) and thought I'd take cash with me and pick...

    Paint Job rec in Knoxville, TN

    I'm looking for a recommendation on someone that can paint my 97 FZJ80. I've got bad clear coat peel all over the hood and fenders, and the whole thing could probably use a new paint. Ive talked to a few local shops but most of them don't want to do a whole car because it takes too much shop...

    Installed Dobinson's 1.75 Inch Variable Rate Suspension Kit: C59 - 222V, C59 223V

    While doing research for my suspension upgrade recently I couldn't find any reviews or photos of this particular set up, so I wanted to post in case someone else is looking. It's no 4 inch lift with miles of travel, but some of us like our cruisers on the refined side. I've only had it on 3...

    Must have tool list for working on 80's

    I've searched and posted on here for many years. It's usually been some form of holy-crap-what-happened-please-help-sos situation, to which I've received nothing but selfless help from many people on this forum. Living in an apartment in a large city, having no garage and lots of work travel...

    UPDATED: Underpowered acceleration and 02 Sensor Codes

    UPDATE (and edit for clarity): This is the TLDR version: Problem: 97 FZJ80 underpowered during acceleration. When you press the gas pedal about 1/2 - 3/4 to the floor car gives about 40% what it should for acceleration- feels very sluggish like its starving for fuel or air. If you hold your...

    Engine hesitation after fixing AC. What did mess up now?

    After fixing the AC system in my car (full replacement) Im now dealing with some underpowered/ hesitation issues. I'm not sure if the two are related, but I cant help but think I might have knocked a sensor lose or messed something up while I was messing around with the AC. I also replaced the...

    Stranded-SOS Fzj80 bogging down and sputtering

    So, I'm on a trip out of town and my 97 LC started sputtering and cutting out after taking off from a red light. I'm currently debating my options in a parking lot. No previous symptoms, just happened suddenly and now can't make it home. It happens only in the forward gears (revving it in...

    Complete A/C system replacement?

    Hi All, After sweltering through the first half of the summer with no A/C, I took my 97 FZJ80 into a local shop to have the A/C issue diagnosed. The compressor would kick on for a couple minutes and then kick off. After lots of research on this forum I thought maybe either an expansion valve or...
