Hey all, hopefully an easy pair of questions...
Background (this is not the question - just info): My 1991 FJ80 has an undiagnosed knock and power loss I want to sort out. Could be bad, but with close to 250k the engine, was planning a possible rebuild anyway.
Today: I was gifted a 3FE. The...
Hey fellas - I've got a significantly loose PS belt (at least for starters) causing hard and notchy steering especially at lower RPMs.
1991, FJ80, 3FE
I replaced the belt (along with the other two and the water pump and that pulley that rattles) probably 10K miles ago with new OEM. Steering...
Hey all, hope everyone had a great Christmas! I'm having a challenge I didn't expect. Hindsight says maybe I should have, maybe next transmission rebuild.
I'll spare you the saga, here's a summup: 1991 FJ80 with a 3FE and an A440F Transmission
1.) The truck's been sitting for about 7 months...
I'm forcing myself to take deep breaths - keep the panic at bay that I've broken her real bad. Come what may, I'd really like not to have the expense of replacing or rebuilding the trans.
She's got about 230K+ miles, and I drained and filled the transmission fluid 3-5 months ago using generic...
Finally changing plugs/wires/disty/rotor. Partly because I've been driving the truck for two years without doing it and I have no idea when/if the PO ever did it, partly because she's running a bit uneven, and partly as prep and "rehearsal" for an overdue valve adjustment.
This post is...
Hey all, I'm long interested in making and customizing knives, but done little of it in real life. Finally getting a bit of a start with this birthday present I made for my brother. Always loved the time tested and utilitarian design of these knives, and thought it'd be a fun (and inexpensive)...
I'm in the middle of an overdue cooling system refresh (I'll post a pic thread for posterity when I'm done), and I was ready to do something with my green hub fan clutch (probably the rebuild with 10K CST that several folks have described).
Picture is only slightly related. Here's my...
Hey all, I've read around on AC-related threads, but couldn't find quite what I'm looking for.
Here's the basic. 1991 FJ80 (3FE) DD named Vera with non functioning AC. I knew about the AC when I bought it, but it was November in Alabama, no biggie, I'll get to it. Now it's May in Alabama...
This probably falls into the "General Shop Knowledge" category, but for those of us who do a wide range of projects (including Land Cruiser work) Bolt Depot is the best source of fastener info I've ever come across.
The page of printable fastener tools alone makes it valuable, but I'm...
Hey guys, I can't seem to see straight on this one.
Can anyone help me figure out where this goes? My driver's side door has a block of 2x4 holding up the window and the rig came with the part pictured. I don't know for certain that the PPO (Previous Previous Owner - who was the last one to...
Often the term is "shade tree mechanic", but the truth is, most guys who work on their own vehicles actually have a garage.
I won't bore you up front with my deets, aside from saying that I've been fixing and maintaining my vehicles (both 20+ year-old classics and modern grocery-getters) for...
Had an "uh oh" and want to check my plan.
From searching it seems the consensus is that you need some flat on the birf outer splines to feel good about re-using, but I think my passenger side is into no-flat zone.
I was going to swap sides anyway, but am now planning to finish the rebuild...
Hola - noob here getting started on the FJ80, want to solve this idle (or lack of idle, I think). Seems to be mechanical in nature, but there's more complexity around idle adjustments than I'm used to on these trucks, so I wanted to run it by the forum.
Here's the scoop - most of the time...
Felt kind a like a first date - just getting started down the road with my 80.
So, no biggie, just an oil/filter change and swapping in a new air filter. As easy as I'd expected it to be, though there's a LOT more oil in there than my wife's 2007 Pilot. I mean I knew that before hand, what...
Required hero shots of my new baby. Seems like my smile gets bigger by the hour. 1991 FJ80, 3FE, ARB with Warn M10,000, and some unidentified rear tire swing mount. Haven't even had time to do a full eval yet, but can't wait! Enjoy!
I think this the right spot for this thread. I'm in the market for a '91-'92 FJ80. Got a couple in the area that I'm looking at, and this one's the first.
By way of introduction…
I’m looking for - Daily driver after a max of a weekend's worth of work (with more work later, I'm sure - but...
