I fixed the original problems and the owner drove it for several years.
It made a loud kaboom noise and stopped on the road. She had it towed to her house.
It sat there for a a few years and then she decided to move back to Jefferson State.
I now own this FJ80. Time to get it running.
I forgot the challenges of the 3FE.

Talking the front axle issue.
Axles are in Great shape. Birfs are very good shape, not loose at all.
Need more paper towels.

Going back together.
That is not an Aisin fan clutch. Now you're asking for more trouble.
You want an Aisin FCT-049 for the 3FE. It has an aqua green hub. You can't get them from Toyota anymore, but you can find them online.
