    HDJ81 Leaky Sunroof

    IIRC, there is some sort of hack or fix involving bicycle inner tubes that might help. Try searching with those terms and sunroof to see if something pops up.

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    I put the LX 450 to work with the trailer this weekend while enjoying some serious model railroading. I transported 5 Freemo modules over to Cornfield 10 in McLean, IL while assisting my friends of the Illini Railroad Club. The IRC is the oldest RR club on campus across the country, perhaps the...

    current source for dash grab bar (FZJ)?

    No need to pull the dash. You pull the glove box and can feel where the holes are. It can be intimidating to punch the holes in the dash but with a little care it's doabl. I used the sawzall in salvaging mine because stuff was jammed up enough I couldn't pull the glove box to get to the nuts.

    current source for dash grab bar (FZJ)?

    mot got me mine back around 2010, said they were about gone then. I used the Sawzall to cut it out of the dash of my old green 80 I totaled last fall so I had one to install in the LX 450 that replaced the 80 because I knew they were unobtanium. Your best bet would be to check salvage outfits in...

    Water temp gauge miss reading

    I'd suspect the sensor. Not sure what the FSM might give as specs, but check for the sensor complying with them.

    Rims for 80 series

    I'd be very leery of putting tires on wheels known to be leakers. I've been through that with OEM steelies and it's a big PITA. The only (partial) soliuton I found was to apply Loctite 290 to the trouble areas inside the rim, then baking the wheel in an oven. More info here and in earlier posts...

    Wheel fell off near Scipio Utah

    The later alloy wheels used the washer style nuts. IIRC, the earlier ones did use cone style, but not sure what year that changed. Guess it's not a factor here, but it is something to be cautious about in case others reading this aren't aware of this changeover. The lug nuts must match the wheels.

    Lexus Integrated Car Phone - Lexus LX450

    The only thing you need do here is make or acquire the handset, which resided in the upper part of the LX console. That's only about 20% of the phone. The rest is a big black box made by Fujitsu plus a power supply that resides in the left rear fender. The bracket that holds all that could be...

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Camping out in Bloomington IN at my brother’s place waiting for the eclipse Monday afternoon. It’s the first night out with the awning recycled from the wrecked 80, the rebuilt sleeper drawer system, and the Kelty Backroads shelter.

    Just finishing 100 build… now looking at an 80. Buy?

    The important points here are OBDII making it easy to deal with faults and fault codes and airbags, especially airbags if you're like me, walked away from an accident where they made a major contribution to me walking away from it in good shape.

    From Misfortune to Light of a New Day: Setting Up the Replacement Truck

    Catching up on recent projects in this post. Finally got the bungee up around the inside of the cabin roof, so test fitted the curtains. I like it dark inside when sleeping and am cheap, too, so I use landscape cloth to make curtains. I foldover the top and using hot glue, entrap small blocks of...

    1993 80 Series Restoration

    Definitely a possibility. All the vital rubbery parts are probably crumbly now. When you replaced the battery did you check the fusible links? They're another potential failure point.

    New to the platform...thanks for the add...

    As mentioned, partsouq.com is a great resource. Put you VIN in and it will spit out the factory parts diagrams specific to your truck. Click through the various diagrams to call up the parts that might be of concern. They'll either list them as available (the inventory is real time and accurate)...

    Pics of the tires you have on your 80 please.

    Beautiful pics, Jen. My FIL was Pearl Harbor commander at one time, but I've never been there.

    Pics of the tires you have on your 80 please.

    Dang, sorry about that. People sometimes diss ABS but it can work very well when it's most needed.

    Help please - my mechanic is stumped

    It's worth rechecking the big rubber air intake tube. It's easy to miss a crack in it and an easy fix if it turns up.

    Cooling option question

    Absolutely vital to good cooling. If you haven't checked and it's still the original radiator, go over it carefully with your gloved hand (or one of those remote reading thermometers) after getting it up to full operating temp. Most of the original radiators are old enough that they suffer from...
