Great to have another LJ73 near by, I'm in Knoxville.
How is your driving experience with the 2LT?
Assuming that you change the glowplugs for your starting problems. Sometimes I also use starting fluid spray, when it's too cold, spray a little in the air intake or directly to the turbo.
You...
Did you try starting fluid? spray some in the intake, that should help.
You also need to check the glow plugs, clean them or replace them if they look black.
Also check the turbo and vacuum lines. I installed an electrofan on the LJ73 to help with the air flow.
The 2LT likes to overheat while doing up hills. As long you don't push it should be fine.
My LJ70 has big mud terrain tires and it does fine in highway, maintain 100k/h traveling, I just...
Yes, it is a double crimp. You crimp the cooper first and then the jacket.
On the stripped side initially you crimp on the numbers on top of the crimper but once you secure the cooper you go down to the lower side on the crimpers to crimp a second time for a tighten fit. If you see the numbers...
Yes, the one you recommended will be useful for almost every type of terminal. I'm more used to using those universal (Hozan P-707) because they are smaller for the crimp size and the jacket. But definitely it is better to have both types. Like you said all depends on the type of application...
The best brand for those crimper type is Rennsteig. It's also a German company.
The problem with those is that every type of terminal needs a specific head. And the universal ones are pretty wide. Those types of crimpers are mostly used on ring terminals for lower or big gauge wires.
I took these pictures from my cousin LJ73. Still have the lights on the bumper. This is the back of the tail light housing.
Here is on the other side of the white connector.
By taking a deeper look on the wire colors coming from the main harness. It comes:
Ground (white/black) that goes with...
Yes I used this one Hozan P-707 you can find it on Amazon. It's real good.
It really makes a good crimp. You could use it in several types of terminals, also if the wire terminal comes with a seal you can crimp the seal as well. If you notice the black connector that I used on previous...
On the main harness Turn signal is Green/yellow, stop light Green/white, regular lights Green/black, Ground white/Black. You have matched these colors with the tail lights harness. On the tail light harness is Green/ yellow, stop light Green/white, regular lights 2 Red/green wires (you only...
On the tail lights harness I have some Furukawa 6 pins connectors available that I used to replace the OEM connector, I did this because I didn't want to find the same connector as the 80 series main harness made for that harness, instead I replaced it with a new matching connector.
The...
This might be useful for someone, I recently changed the bumper tail lights to the regular tail lights. On the LJ the tail lights come on the bumper and the tails lights on the body are used for reverse and fog light only.
The reason I did this is because I changed the OEM bumper for an...
Probably you will have better luck rebuilding. There is a shop in Knoxville that you could use.
Vol Radiator Services
2902 Middlebrook Pike, Knoxville, TN 37921.
I used them before.
Actually we met at the 70 series meet and greet in Windrock.
Your LJ73 looks pretty clean, if it doesn't have issue I will leave it alone. Most common issue with the 2LT is cracked head, this happens when overheat. It could be many things. You could have a bad turbo, vacuum pump or piping...
You should rebuild, pretty easy to find parts because that engine was sold in the US. Hard part will be a cylinder head but still you can find it.
What is the problem? is it running?
It does have the same motor mounts for a 22R engine.
I'm in Knoxville as well.
Welcome,
Looks pretty clean and low miles. Check your bushings and replace them if necessary. Front axle knuckles bearings with overtime tend to leak, try not to pressure wash them directly, rebuild if necessary. Check your tie rods. I would probably replace the axle fluids just to have peace of...
