    Broken windows (aka IH8thieves)

    My son and I replaced left side front window in the RHD 80. It was very helpful to have my son's (then age 4) small hands available. Be sure to have a vacuum handy to get out glass particles from inside the door frame. The drama was getting the moisture barrier off in one piece and...

    vibration/shudder on acceleration

    Guys - thanks. My mechanic originally said he could find the wire; it was me who was worried about the possibility of it running into many hours of searching and thought maybe it would be easier just to replace the whole loom. I will let him have the truck in two weeks and report back. Thanks...

    vibration/shudder on acceleration

    OK - I have the same symptoms on the 97 450 with 153K miles. I can nurse it up to 80mph and cruise all day on the flat; normal acceleration at any speed or an incline in the road sets off a shudder and loss of power. Trying to drive up a steep hill from a dead stop is like a comedy act. I...

    highest mileage cruisers out there (original engines)

    The Australian 80 has 300,000 k's on the clock. I have changed the oil a few times.

    Power Steering Pump noisy on 96 FZ FE

    Greg you might try Downey fabric softener. A capful. I have gotten rid of the whine in both 80's with it. I don't know if it is available in Tanzania though. Maybe someone here knows the active ingredient that Greg could source locally...

    Thanks Fay, My Cruiser is flooded

    Just a thought - last week my right hand side front carpets were soaked in the Australian 80. It hadn't even rained. I drove with the a/c on to dry it out, but didn't solve the mystery until I found an overturned uncapped 2 liter water bottle my son had abandoned in the third row. I had been...

    Stray hose, where does it go?

    Rear window washer for barn doors. (They have a squirter for each door.) Sorry, I shouldn't have answered. It can be great fun watching people guess!

    Well, that was fun...

    Exactly. If the original owners of that truck saw those pics, they would think a helicopter dropped it there. :beer:

    Newbie- how many people use 150k plus as daily driver

    Yes. A lot of short trips too in the Oz 80. Never lets us down.

    My New 1999 Venezuelan 80

    Solid rear window has always been an option. Rare in the states, but there were a few.

    Intermittant starter

    Might be a shift lever issue too. Move the shifter around a bit (in Park, foot firmly on brake) while the key is turned to see if it engages. Mine (Oz 80) had the same intermittent symptoms - I wacked the shifter a few times and it went away.

    Sand Question

    I run 40 lbs on flat sand, and from time to time sink in on an uphill (climbing off the beach) and air down to pull out. I'm talking "bogged", not "stuck". I air down to 25 in advance if I have guests who appreciate the extra cushion (the beach can be jarring, believe it or not). I've had...
