    Preparing to replace head gasket... What do I need? Where do I start?

    I just did the HG on my '94. It cost me $1,211.89 in parts (including $120 in machine work - head cleaned, checked for straightness, and skimmed). I am mechanically inclined (my daily for 10 years was a 1972 BMW that I never took to a shop - learned as I went, and it has paid off). It took me...

    1994 Coolant Leak Near Firewall

    This turned out not to be a rear heater problem for me. It was leaking from the top brass connector pipe on the firewall (the one that goes from the front heater to the return coolant line on the block). It ended up having nothing to do with my rear heater, I just opted to bypass the rear heater...

    I've used brush-on truck bed liner in the past with good results.

    1994 Coolant Leak Near Firewall

    Oh yes I’m well aware of both of them (who isn’t lol). And now kicking myself for not just doing the easy bypass when I replaced all the hoses and had everything apart.

    1994 Coolant Leak Near Firewall

    Answered my own question. Got a chance to take a look at it while running. It’s the passenger side heater hose that runs from the firewall to the coolant tee. I guess the OEM clamp was more worn out than I thought. Since I have to remove the hose and replace the clamp, I’ll likely go ahead and...

    1994 Coolant Leak Near Firewall

    This is going to be long: I’ve got a 1994 FZJ80. At the beginning of the month, I flushed the coolant, and changed most of the hoses (3 big ones, PHH, heater hoses and heater valve, and the rubber rear heater hoses in the engine bay on the passenger firewall). No issues until last night with...

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Coolant flush and fill (filled with that sweet, red nectar of the Toyota gods of course), new rad hoses, heater valve, heater hoses (well, most of them), coolant tee, and PHH bypass from @NLXTACY . I got lucky and the PO had the PHH done at some point, so the hardline bracket was already broken...

    EGR Temp Sensor Test Plug

    Any chance you'll make some for a '91?

    1991 FJ80 3FE TPS Readings, Troubleshooting

    Thanks Tom. I've got a CEL again (going to check in a bit what the code is - likely 71 due to de-smog). I'm going to chase wires down this weekend to check for frays/breaks, too. Will report back with results. So far, I've only experienced the symptoms one time very briefly since adjusting the...

    1991 FJ80 3FE TPS Readings, Troubleshooting

    Got a 41 code the other day on my '91 along with rough running/loss of power followed by sudden return of power. Pulled TB to clean (fair amount of carbon build up), and TPS to test. Set up TPS according to manual (was about a hair off at 0.93mm between IDL-E2 - set, tightened screws, and...

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    No we took 2N02. Didn't get to explore too much up there this time, but I plan on going back up in the near future. I absolutely love it up there. Easy drive, and great place for the chocolate lab to burn off some energy swimming. What's the best place to get a trail map for up there? I've seen...

    What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend?

    Bought my bone stock white '91 (dubbed "Miller" because my wife says he looks like a Miller Lite can) back in May. Baselined over June (mostly... still working through some kinks), and then last weekend took the family on Burns Canyon Trail from Pioneertown up to Big Bear. What an absolute...

    '91 bogs down when semi-warm, then runs fine

    Reporting back: bogging came back the other day on the way to the farmer’s market. Turned around, switched cars, and went about my day. Started the cruiser up later and it had a very rough idle. Popped the hood and started checking for vacuum leaks/loose electrical connections. Checked the AFM...

    19 years and many Landcruisers later...here's the path to my 80 today

    What a great read. Well-written, great photos. For some reason, how you write reminds me of Kevin Spacey telling his side of the story in The Usual Suspects. Short sentences with seemingly unimportant details (sleeping bag temp ratings, circling back to where you met Owyhee Jackass), but it all...

    '91 bogs down when semi-warm, then runs fine

    Last night I pulled the AFM and cleaned with MAF cleaner spray. My air intake hose is a bit of a “unique solution” in that the P.O. decided a PVC elbow with rubber hose connecting to the AFM and TB was a good “OEM alternative.” I’ll be getting an OEM one at some point but the cost is hard to...

    Builds Mike's disaster of a landcruiser project, 1992 "big red"

    Nice job getting it up and running. I would be hesitant to take on a project of this size right now, so I applaud you. I'm digging the e36 as well. I grew up around BMWs (dad had an e28, then e36, now e46 330i ZHP), and my daily for the last 10 years (until I started the engine rebuild - and...

    '91 bogs down when semi-warm, then runs fine

    White Stripe - That's one option I'll be looking into. 4 ADVNTR: I'll double check the air intake tube to see if there's a crack or anything in it. Marco: No I didn't replace either of those. Can you explain what makes you think it would be either of those?

    '91 bogs down when semi-warm, then runs fine

    I have an interesting problem with my FJ80. This is a long entry, but if you read it as if I'm a caller on Car Talk (that's 1-888-227-8255, hello you're on Car Talk), it makes the read more bearable. I've searched on here, and haven't really found anyone with the exact problem. Seems like most...

    Codes 25 and 26 - 91 FJ80

    I want to close this one out (hopefully): A couple weeks ago I replaced both O2 sensors with new gaskets. Yesterday, I replaced the manifold to downpipe gaskets, which were leaking like a sieve. I can't feel an exhaust leak from them anymore. Reset the ECU, and no codes yet. I'm expecting the...
