Hi Mudders:
I'm thinking about putting a 180lb Roofnest tent on the top of my 93 FZJ80. I currently have the factory rack on my rig and trying to decide if I need to upgrade my cross bars, rails, and/or entire roof rack system. Does anyone happen to know what the load limits on a factory rack...
I saw this old thread but didn’t want to revive it: does anyone know how much weight a 100 series roof can handle ? - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/does-anyone-know-how-much-weight-a-100-series-roof-can-handle.978028/
Anyway, I don’t haul gear on my roof, like ever. Any my rack was all nasty...
Hey guys
read a lot about the different shocks and while being on ICON Stage 2 first I'm currently rather stepping away due to maintainance.
Weight info:
Our LC will be getting a Dissent front bumper with a syn. rope winch, adding ~160lbs.
The rear will also get a bumper with wing out for the...
I’m curious how much net weight I’ll be adding with sliders that are 60 lb each after removing the side steps. Anyone know or can estimate how much their side steps weigh on the LX? Oh and happy turkey day. May you find the best Black Friday sales!
If i read AHC neutral pressure for LC 100 under these two conditions, which one will report higher REAR pressure, and why?
1. Fuel tank full and all seats installed, including third row. I know this is recommended.
2. Fuel tank a quarter full and third row seats removed.
In both cases, there...
So Im well into swapping the (bent) frame from under my '97 TLC, and I'm contemplating the way to attack the engine/trans/xfer assembly move. Does anyone have a fairly high confidence weight for the whole thing? I need to determine if my hoist and/or my tractor is capable of safely hoisting...
I have a 2015 200 series with 98k. I posted another thread over the weekend on a timing chain tensioner noise. Thanks to the great folks on this forum for weighing in.
I’m now looking to go to 5w-20, which is what the owners manual says you can go to if 0w-20 isn’t available. Is it better to...
Getting ready to ship my 80 from NC and im trying to figure out the shipping weight. It currently has no engine, trans, accessories, AC lines or condenser in it.
I know a fully dressed 3fe and accessories is about 700-750 lbs but I have no clue about the a440 trans. I know it's big and heavy...
Hello, I just removed the frame weight from my 2002 LX. It was just flopping around, the bushings are completely shot. It was located below the passenger door. Does it do anything? Is it worth keeping? I would need to find some kind of rebuild kit. Based on my research this part is...
Howdy. Looking to build a frame on the back of my HJ45's bed to mount a pop-up sleeper like the AluCab. I am looking at using 1x2x.065 (16 gauge) steel tubing. I know aluminum is lighter, but I don;t have an aluminum welder, and aluminum is more susceptible to brittleness and other effects. For...
The discussion I'd like to start is centered around the 20'-21 Heritage Edition BBS Forged wheels and the benefits of them as compared to the standard 16'-21' Alloy wheels as a true OEM upgrade.
At face value here are the details I could gather below on the weights from both:

If the answer to this question is out there, I haven’t found it, so hopefully this isn’t a redundant post.

Good afternoon, Mud sirs!
I am about to install Airlift bags in my 97 LX450 with 197K on the clock. This has OME 862 rear springs that are in good condition. They were part of a kit ordered from Slee a couple years ago. I wish, like hell, I had installed a lifted and heavier spring / kit when...
Hello there, this is my first forum post so we’ll see how this goes. I have a 1991 FJ80, center diff locked with a 3” OME lift and 33” tires on the stock 15” wheels that came with the 91-92’s. So I have a few questions regarding upgrading tire size with potential regearing with a LS swap. I’m...
Good afternoon everyone,
I swung by the scales on my way back from a skiing trip and decided it was time to see what the ole' girl weighs:
Maybe I've been feeding her too much!
I figured it would be fun to get some ACTUAL results from peoples weigh-ins with different setups.
If you...
I’m looking to put a drawer system into my 200. Until I can afford a fridge, I will use my Yeti on the sliding platform.
But an empty yeti cooler is monstrously heavy and once filled with food and ice, it’s practically immobile.
So I worry about if a sliding platform can hold that weight...
