Hello everybody

[CreeperSleeper]

Hi! I thought that I would introduce myself. My name is Chad and I just bought a 1997 40th Anniv Ed w/ 118k mi. I love it. I have built and wheeled Toyota's before, but this is my first FJ (FZJ... you know what I mean). I'm def excited for the new challenge. Please feel free to let me in on all your little tricks, I could use them.

Welcome (official IH8Mud salute)

You picked the right rig and the right place to talk about it.

Post up pics! We love to see them.

First priority is to order a Factory Service Manual from C-Dan, you can get his contact information in the Vendor Section of the site.

Support the site and get yourself a silver star as well.



Portland, its nice on both coasts

Welcome aboard Chad

 

[CreeperSleeper]

Thanks! I enjoy the truck... for three days then the starter went out... Turn the key and you get "CLICK"

 

[NorCalDoug]

Ahhh...
Now you can consider yourself a true 80 series owner...
no one is allowed to escape the dreaded starter contacts problem

Chad,

Doug nailed it and you should get the parts ordered ASAP and start planning a couple of hours to get this taken care of.

I don't have much of a choice... It won't start... Or even try... Oh well, it's good to get parts cheap

After reading some of the post on the subject, I'm glad that is the way it happend... If it went up in flames I would have been pissed!

Welcome aboard Chad. Great screenname. Do you really mean your 80 won't start?

Mild understatement.

Welcome

Don't forget to drop by the 40th anniversary thread and register your truck with them.

 

[CreeperSleeper]

I will, thanks for the recomendation.

It will start now, dropped a new starter in last night.

pssst...my landrover is currently in a million pieces and won't be going anywhere soon.....

 

[CreeperSleeper]

Oh, I respect Land Rovers... I just like Toyotas better. My 85 4Runners plates where JP RESQ and I used to run with the local Jeep club! I was outnumbered, but after most of them were on the wrong end of my winch they kept their mouths shut!

 

[Cookiemonster]

Welcome aboard little grasshopper.....Very nice....LR_RESQ, has a good ring to it.

[CreeperSleeper]

LOL, and you can avoid the Angry 96 Owner Club famous for the fear of wheeling.
