If there is a better place to post this please let me know: Hey guys, I’ve been looking at getting a cruiser for a little while and I’m a bit unsure which would be best for me. Wondering if anyone can provide some advice or insight, happy to provide more info if it helps! Location: Australia...

for some reason my 80 randomly died out on the trail. Miles out of town in the back country in Kentucky. Thing has been doing great all day. Randomly died and won’t start back. Alternator is good. Tried to start back and then just lost it. Could use some pointers. I wonder if it’s the fuel...

Replacing speed sensors and AT temp sensor and solidifying frayed wiring and connectors around transmission on my 94. Can anyone help me out with what the soft lines with the T are above the transmission right behind speed sensor 2? I can't figure out where they come from or where they go when...

Good Morning Folks! I'm having a starting issue that's driving me crazy, and maybe you fine folks with your big brains can help. I cannot start my truck (RHD, 1HD-T) with the key. I can sometimes (50% of the time) start it by connecting a jumper wire from the LH battery (+) to the starter (via...

We have what I think is a well cared for 1994 Series 80. It has 225k miles of which 98% are highway and 2% were tough gravel roads in West Virginia. Chains, not rock crawling. It gets a thorough detailing 2x yearly. The owner my father replaced the front seat bottom 10 years ago with a vinyl...

Having issues with starting and keeping the truck running. Have diagnosed that the ICS is failing and wondered if anyone along the route home from Solid Axle Summit might have a spare I can buy from them. Headed out today and will be traveling W on I-70 to S on I-15 stopping in the Zion Area...

Please help me identify these switch terminals.

Gotta love a 20 year old rig! Yesterday, I brought my rig home from my independent mechanic who had just repaired my failing ABS system. He also replaced the Hi-Lo shifter that I'd removed to unfreeze. Two my surprise, I found that my audio system was not getting power. All non-audio buttons...

Need some help figuring out what to do next. FJ40 with 11/78 build date. Installing a Dobinsons full IMS kit. Passenger rear went together great. Driver side rear is presenting a challenge. The spring hanger pin flange screw holes do not line up with hanger bracket. I tried the 3...

I'm about to pull the plug on a Troopy and so will be getting rid of my FJ Cruiser. I would like to get a good solid toyota car for a daily driver. Naturally I'm going to bring my obsessed attitude to this just like I would a cruiser. I'm seeing several 90s Camrys for what seem to me to be...

My a/c blows ice cold when I first start it up in the morning after it's sat in the garage overnight. It will blow cold for the duration of that drive. However, once it sits in the parking lot somewhere and the sun heats up the truck (Tucson, AZ), it doesn't blow cold at all. The air will...

Hey guys arfter some opinions on my shackle angle and the pin location. Ive just installed ironman +2 springs and standard length a.i shackles in and the pins are touching the hanger mount with the truck off the ground. Then sitting there is around 15mm on driver side between pin and hanger...

When I was replacing my condenser the other day, I remembered I never replaced the upper mounting bracket/bolt on the passenger side. It wasn't there when I replaced the condenser previously and just forgot. It looks like the mount is 88688-60190 but that shows discontinued. Any info on if it's...

Someone offered me this compete ignition as being OEM. I have doubts because I don’t see a single mark on it. Is this OEM or aftermarket and which engines would it fit?

I've been staring at a mod that a PO did on my BJ74 for a while now, and now felt like a good time to get to the bottom of it. I have a feeling @Malahki, PO that did a serious amount of work and upgrades must have installed it, but I don't think he's still active on MUD, but if he sees this...

Hi guys, I went on a trip from Holland to Croatia, with a small detour to France. My cruiser is fully loaded with a rooftop tent, drawers, battery and luggage. The truck has stock suspension and AHC and was doing just fine until the first stop in France.. The 'low' button for the AHC never...

It won't start smoothly, something seem to be jammed/not initiating. I just changed the fuel pump (a recall) and the battery, so they are not the issue, it existed before these changes even. Please check the video link:

So for the longest time I've had issues with the dash lights blinking while driving I suspect it's the alt and not the plug simply based on mileage I'd read that a tercel alternator fits. But when I bought one, mines different. Mine was slightly larger and had an oval plug. From reading...

Any concern with rust based on these pics? Is a little too much?

Good morning everyone. Yesterday I was backing up my HJ45 in the yard, got distracted, and hit a tree! Did a good number to the tailgate. Any ideas/suggestions on fixing it? The body below the tailgate I can fix with a heavy hammer, but the tailgate worries me. You can see the panels...
