    Had two questions: Anyone ever take their caliper halves apart? Didn't find much on this from searching other than someone said it is tricky to get them back together correctly. What o-rings/seals are used when you put the halves back together, and is there any particular method used ie...

    How not to use Chip Guard

    Ok, After much searching around, in person and on the net, I bought some SEM clear Chip Guard to use on my front bumper; idea was to prevent chipping from stones. I then cleaned off my bumper center section (80) very well with the proper prep cleaner, 5 times at least; and got to spraying...

    Stripped drive flange studs

    Anyone have an opinion (based on experience) on how many stripped drive flange studs you can drive with, if any at all, before they can be replaced on an FZJ80? ie: is one too many, two mean certain death, etc? I have at least one that I am sure of on my PS front. I know the book answer...

    Just noticed as it got dark this evening that my DS headlight was out, wiggled the connector at the lamp, the light came back on, but it appeared dimmer or a different wavelength; at least it is not as bright as it's twin on the PS. They are both the Sylvania Silverstars. Really never liked the...

    Mobil 1 synthetic gear oil after 90K

    Thought I would post what I found when I changed the gear oil today in my rear diff and transfer case after 90K miles and 4 years with Mobil 1 75-90 and LUBEGARD Gear Oil additive. From what I have read, full synthetics should be good for 100k miles, at least that is what they say for fleet use...
