1996 FZJ80
Earlier this year the top radiator tank exploded. It sounded like a shotgun. I replaced the radiator and hoses. While on the trail recently I noticed coolant dripping. All hose clamps are tight. Recent test drives have not duplicated the problem, but I still wonder about the...
Making a noise in the front end after a 50mm OME install. Push on the gas - tink tink tink tink. Only when I push on the gas pedal in gear. U-joints are good. Mechanic says it sounds like it's coming from inside the drive shaft.
Any ideas mudders?
Thanks in advance.
I am looking for a driver side mirror. The spring-loaded folding function on mine just gave out.
My truck is green, but color is not that big a deal to me.
Thanks
If you have larger tires than stock, what have you done about speedo/odo correction. There are several devices on the market as well as replacement a speedo gear. Or do you do nothing?
Just thought I would chime in on the periodic factory locker discussion.
When driving gravel back roads I frequently shift to Low Range and try to engage my front and rear lockers just to "exercise" them. They do not always engage. I listen for the "click" as they engage and disengage as well...
My brother and I ran the Shoe Creek trail last week. His truck is a USMC Surplus Humvee and mine is '95 FZJ 80, locked stock and 275 BFG a/ts. Not too tough, but we had fun.
Keep hearing about these, mostly from j**p guys. Haven't heard much about them here, though.
I'm curious what the story is with these things. Obviously, they help with articulation, but what is the installation? Heck, you could just remove the bolt at the trail head, but that would be a...
I am wiring power directly and want everything clean and hidden.
I am not interested in replacing the stock head unit.
Does the stock head unit have an AUX/Line In jack on the rear or do I need the FM antenna adapter? Screw the FM frequency option and the cassette adapter, too.
I am also...
A while back there was alot of talk around here about getting the low-hanging catalytic converters turned for more clearance. I talked to a local exhaust guy about this and he said he could do it easily, but could just as easily put some new units in that would take less space anyway. I would...
FSM says lithium based. Redline CV-2 is NOT lithium based. It does have moly, but is supposed to be good for bearings and general chassis use also.
As long as it's a complete clean and repack it shouldn't be a problem, right...
:idea:
Maybe my head is up my ass, but I want to be able to have the capability to clear fallen trees from the trail or road. I do not want to carry my Husqvarna and fuel in the back of my cruiser on a weekend trip. Could I run an electric chain saw with a power inverter from my cruiser...
I had my '95 FZJ in a local shop for broken exhaust brackets, oil, filter and lube and a check engine light.
The guy call me an says I need new O2 sensors and new Cats. He then proceeds to quote me around $1200 and $1100 each for the new cats. I stopped listening at this point so the numbers...
I got this '95 FZJ 80 in August: Dark Emerald Pearl, no Running Boards, factory lockers, 154K with some squeaks and rattles, neglected leather and a slightly drippy sunroof. A local shop did 150K service (30K interval?) - all fluids changed, plugs etc. Apparently the diffs had not been changed...
