Very good. Thank you for the links. Glad this fix exists.

Nachos rule!!
The carpet would have lasted longer if it hadn't been for those meddling kids... Just kidding, I'm beating her to the punch and replacing it before she has the chance to trash the rug lol.

Finally (after having it for 2 months) got my Trail Tailor roof rack painted and installed. I like it but it is noisy at highway speeds.

4x4 Labs front kit...a crap ton of welding, grinding, blending.

That looks awesome Mark...nice job brother! Any thoughts on tucking in the A/C dryer? I've seen a few guys with the 4x4 labs front that have somehow managed to relocate it behind the turn signal housing, but not sure how involved that is....how long did it take ya front start to finish on the bumper if you don't mind me asking and how difficult would you rate it?

I need new Hydraulic rams for the back glass and hood of my 80. Does anyone have any recommendations or damnations of brands to get? Otherwise I'll just get whatever Autozone sells. THANKS

Support a cruiser vendor!
Rear hatch: 80 Series, Set of Brand New Rear Hatch Supports/Shocks
Hood: 80 Series, Set of Brand New Hood Supports/Shocks
These are actually some of the best priced I have seen.
ON ORDER! Happy Fathers day to me! No more banging my head and propping them up with a stick!

Switched out my brass radiator for an aluminum one. Brass couldn't cool it good. Also wired in a Volvo fan controller for my Taurus fan. Now I can wire up a switch in the cab to kill the fan or manually switch it to high if needed.

That's a good lookin radiator Josh...what brand and where did ya pick it up Sir?

It's a 3 row Champion that I got from JEGS. They have questionable quality on the internet but I was willing to try anything because the 2 year old Cool Cruisers CSF brass OEM radiator (which developed a leak soon after I installed it) I was running wouldn't keep it cool at speed. So far it's perfect. It runs cooler at interstate speeds than city speeds, and overall it's staying right at 195-200 degrees vs the 215-225 the brass one was running. I've pegged out the stock temp gauge and a 250 max AutoMeter gauge this year. Even with a new water pump, new thermostat, flush and new coolant, and a Taurus fan running on high.
It's a big day for my 1991 FJ80. Not only did the new rams for my hood and back gate come in, thanks Josh for the rec on where to buy, but I also registered as an antique vehicle in Arkansas. No more registration for this guy!
Getting the Harrop E Locker ready for Josh's 60. Sure is purty.

Yep, its true. I finally put the Harrop in. Everything went pretty smooth. I still need to wire in the switch, but I tested the locker and all is well.
I had to tear the frontend down anyways. Had a bad wheel bearing. Water crossings will do that.

Mmmm....Tcase gears...

Cool! Take pics during the install.
Mark,
Are you pulling the transmission also? I've heard mixed things about how to get the Tcase out of the 80's. I'm about to have to replace the Tcase in mine and I REALLY don't want to have to pull the whole sha-bang.

Just putting low range gears in it. Don't have to remove the entire case.
I have separated a 1fz engine from trans and pulled them. Hope I NEVER have to do that again.
Not sure about the 3fe. It may not be as bad.
