    Front axle rebuild

    Buy it or rent it from the parts place. Use the FAQ guide. Plan out a weekend. Pencil in a lot of number 7s.

    wheel bearing preload question

    I just used the method Robbie described in the FAQ and didn't have any problems. IIRC, it was snug until the washer can barely be moved, then tighten outer to spec. Toss fish scale.

    Key ignition & antenna bulbs

    They are not LED. I don't know about the ignition, but it's fairly easy to swap the bulbs in the switches. They just bayonet in the switch.

    Is This Normal Birf Juice Or What??

    X2. Worth every penny. I didn't know driving races could be this easy.

    MetalTech slider and catalytic converter contact

    I did the same. Just a slight bend allowed enough clearance.

    Do I Need My Front End Rebuilt?

    And time consuming. Pencil in a weekend if you think you will have a few distractions. One long day would probably do it. Second time will be much faster.

    Dead alternator

    So, do they make a set of these for the 80?

    He spent much on that he couldn't fill the fountain.

    high coolant temperature

    Thank you to all for posting temps. I have been worried when I hit 210 with the air on. I have had the same experience as Ryan. Cools great (around 195-196) as long as it is below 100ish. Once over 100 and a/c is on, it creeps up to 210-212. Sounds like that is ok. I was ready to order a new...

    Think I bought too fast

    I would just monitor the fluids and look under where it is parked. If nothing changes, it is probably fine. I have a few minor leaks on mine and just chalk it up to age. All consumption is within spec.

    Can alternator brush be installed while on truck?

    I'm guessing it was the voltage regulator. I don't remember the pricing, but it made sense to replace with OEM rebuilt instead of replacing more parts. I think once the brushes are replaced and regulator is replaced, the bearings are all that are left as serviceable parts. I just kept the new...

    Can alternator brush be installed while on truck?

    I did it. The amount of time spent trying to install in the truck was probably more than the time spent swapping the alternator when the brushes didn't fix the problem. I'm sure someone on here can swap them in the truck in less than 5 minutes, but that is not what I found.

    Neat find - new 93 fzj80 cloth covers

    This is probably where these covers came from. I imagine many of the manual cloth seats were upgraded to leather, leaving these cloth covers available. I wish I could find a set of cloth, manual seats for mine.

    1997 Average MPG?

    Tire size and tire type both make a difference on mileage. Tire pressure is another factor. I am getting around 11.5 right now. That is a mix of city and highway. 34" aggressive bias tires.

    Neat find - new 93 fzj80 cloth covers

    I think the patterns for cloth seats and leather are different. I am searching for the thread where it said they weren't the same.

    Getting stuck in Atco, NJ (powerlines)

    http://www.thv11.com/news/article/276946/2/FBI-offering-20000-for-information-leading-to-arrest-in-power-line-investigation Not to further the derail, but it looks like it was planned and not a botched extraction.

    Mud Tire wear question!

    I agree. If you buy the ones with 40%, don't pay too much. IMO, the second half of MTs tend to start skating around on wet roads.
