I'm planning to scout out Dishpan Springs trail (3N34) this Saturday Dec 9th 2023. As far as I know, the trail is the only unpaved public route that connects Lake Arrowhead with Holcomb Valley. From my research, this trail is rated a black diamond or 7 out of 10 per OnX technical rating. It has...
Up for sale is my set of 80 series 1" Delta front coil spring spacers. I love these and they work great, only reason for selling as I bumped to the 2" set for my current setup. Used for a few months and 1 weekend of wheeling. In like new condition except for some installation scratches and...
As I inspect and adjust my brakes I see a discrepancy. Do the shoe return springs go both under or one under and one over the shoe? My manual possibly indicates the rear spring is under and the front is over.
A youtube video shows one over one under.
The last guy put both of the springs...
Hello everyone. I’ve been using MUD as a resource for my 2013 LX over the last year but this is my first post.
I took a trip to Death Valley eariler this month and while descending this gnarly mountain I tripped a P2716 code for my shift solenoid in the trans. This lead to a flashing 4Lo and...
I have a 88 FJ62 with a tired, old hood release latch and cable. It ‘works’ and releases the hood, but upon pulling the release pull under the steering wheel, the handle stays slack…and I have to push it back into its sleeve.
Questions:
do I need a new hood release cable? Is there some kind...
Hi 80 series owners. I've a 1990 VX with the hand throttle cable that attaches to the top of the accelerator rod.
Recently and for no good reason, the pedal stopped returning to the un-pressed resting spot.
Took the pivot mount off the firewall and had a play around, and realised the...
As the title states, I am looking for a soft riding 4" lift spring for my all aluminum LS swapped (6L80) FZJ80. Ditching the 1fz made my cruiser much lighter.
My rig is very light, the all aluminum motor and transmission took a lot of weight out of the truck, I also run no spare tire at all...
Replacing leaf spring bushings,
The bolts that are on there, bolts look original, very hard to remove.
Photo's i've sen they look rough.
Should I just just replace with new? Seems like i should have them on hand before I start the process?
Are there better options than OEM? (greasable?)...
In need of carb for my 85 fj60. Either comple or spring and clip for idle up. I pulled the choke cable and it felt like it got jammed on something and noticed it would idle funny and once I looked closely, the pin was gone and only thing there was the rod out of place and spring.
I would like...
A few weeks ago I was inspecting my front suspension and noticed the passenger front shackle was leaning outward toward the wheel a little. This was right about the same time I discovered the rear spring eyes (of the front springs) are contacting the rear hanger (see this post). Mike suggested...
Hello all I am in need of a leaf spring and a pair of shocks for my trailer, I took it off-road a bit too much and broke the leaf as I did more rock crawling then I anticipated. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a replacement for both or maybe someone has a spare etc.. lmk thanks

Can’t remember the exact part number but I do believe they provided about 3 inches of lift in the front. They have close to 30k miles on them.
The back story is that I bought a rough 40 years ago which was at a shop getting the body taken care of and for the last few years I've had it and working through the mechanics.
I was at a local event this weekend and was having a conversation with a member talking about our trucks and...
hey everyone. I had a general question about bushings. I am about to replace the springs on my fj40. I am planning on buying the dobinsons 1.75 springs. my question is what bushings for the 25mm eyes do you run? hate to say but would it be worth saving a little money and going with some from...
Excited to get back to OBX for some fishing and wheeling this spring!
