Picked up this '97 Base 2WD to be our eldest son's first vehicle. Super clean one owner out of Arizona, 214K on the ticker. Going to go through all the mechanical stuff slowly with him to get some sweat equity in it. We have a few months before he gets his permit.
The one thing I really want...
I'm about a year overdue for starting this build/documentary thread. Here goes. I'm going to try and include a bunch of photos with this to help other 60 owners who may run into the same issues I have. The first little bit won't have a ton of photos, but the pace will pick up towards the more...
How many people are daily driving their 80-Series?
Was curious if all you guys have other vehicles that are easier on gas, smaller, etc. for daily commute to work and shopping and what not? Are these "toy/project" vehicles for most people on here or do some use them on a daily basis? Are OEM...
Greg and I may be wheeling at Anthracite this Sunday, at present depending on Greg's schedule and the weather. It would be nice to have a few more trucks. Intention is to explore and map out the western reserve- the area across route 125 from the staging area. Anyone interested?
I can just barely catch a fingernail on it and it doesn't appear to cut through any of the black "traces" - it runs mostly between two cells - but it's so hard to tell. I'm wondering what those more learned than I think I should do about this. I don't know how long it's been there and I...
I headed to Gander Mountain today in Charlottesville VA. They are advertising a going out of business sale on TV and on the internet. I thought I might pick up some camping supplies cheap. I realized right away that there was NO big sale going on when I saw several people leaving the store empty...
Hello everyone
I've been lurking on this forum for the past couple of weeks as I decided that my next vehicle will be a Land Cruiser or an LX470. I'll save the detailed introduction once I purchase said car, but right now I would like a bit of guidance in narrowing down my search.
I do have...
Short summary: I reluctantly tried Lucas Upper Cylinder Lubricant fuel additive on my 100-series, expecting snake-oil results. Instead, I consistently found equal or better mileage with lower-grade fuel, and what appears to be less wear-and-tear on my engine oil. I am now a True Believer, and...
Hello,
I need help from you guys, I have a bunch of stuff accumulated for next month to work on before we go for long road trip. Here is the list:
harrop installed front third member with new gears (regeared to 4.88)
aussie locker installed rear third member with new gears (regeared to 4.88)...
I have a pair of FZJ80 Brown Houndstooth manual seats for sale. These are in excellent condition and will bolt right in to a FJ/FZJ/LX series truck. These are manual so no gears to constantly break and will give you an extra 1-2" in legroom. I am asking $750 shipped anywhere in the CONUS.
So I swapped out the radiator. It seems like the engine coolant and transmission fluid both use the fancy radiator I put in, and the air conditioner uses the half-sized one right behind the grill.
So what's up with the metal-finned-radiator thing between the real radiator and the ac unit?
Like the title says. They've been sitting in my garage since taken off. I painted them black while they were in good condition so no rust or pitting. Located in Charlotte, NC. Prefer not too ship. They come with 35" Kuhmo Road Ventures with enough tread for a few thousand miles or as rollers...
