Great updates, thanks for sharing!

Thanks, I have been a member at Mud since my FJ40.... I use it a lot more for searching... so much tech info to be mined. I am working on lots of small issues: 1. Sunroof doesn't sit right, looked at shims and that isn't it. 2. Oil Leak - degreased it, trying a snake oil, then seeing where it...

Funny, Deb and I were just talking about that, she just assumed I would have to bring the new TOYota... It has the factory rack, so I might try that. I have been searching for some Thule gutter mounts on CL, but no luck. We are excited for the float!

I would say the 80 series (diesel I assume?) would be my choice, even with that mileage, buy the best one you can, have a great mechanic baseline it with all the preventative maintenance and go. For your trip, I don't think you need to drop that much money on the purchase and Carnet. Keep us...

wow that is great news! I can't believe how much work it took to get replacement parts! Good thing we love these trailers! Thanks again!

Thanks... Thanks, I just got my 80, and was wondering if there was something more to check than normal!

Very cool, I love the sunrise at 3:18.... I did the same a few years ago from Columbia SC to Rochester NY - 2 questions: 1. What radio do you have and is that TV or just movies playing? 2. Why do you keep raising the hood? Just checking the oil?

Thanks James, yes the Kool-Aid is good ; ) Daveyboy, I agree, this is a better starting point, the '92 is a 3FE engine, that alone was a deal killer for me. I think I got a great deal at $3500, most of the ones around here are $5k-$6k and that seems to be stock or with mods.

Yep the Taco isn't going anywhere.... this all started with a $1000 beater '94 FZJ80. It was so rough that I was needing to get a lot of parts from a wrecked truck, so I was at $2000. This one was only $3500, with lockers, and 80k less miles.

Thanks - I am excited to see what this "80 Love" is about!

A new horse in the stable. I posted about buying a real beat 1994 FZJ80 for $1500, but decided to pass. It drove fine, but was more "weathered" inside and out than I have time to play with. On the way home I stopped to look at another (really not on the way, more out of the way, but is OK) and...

More on the 80 series, it sounds like I need a passenger front fender too.... has anyone tried switching a 91 onto a 94. So the question is will 1991 fenders and seats fit without modification into a 1994? I searched ih8mud, but I am not finding much help. Before I post the question there, I...

Another LC80 question and an update. Can anyone confirm if the seats from a 1991 FJ80 fit using the same mounting holes in a 1994 FZJ80? I am picking up my LC this weekend and can drive 4 hours out of my way and get replacement seats. I am told the ones in my LC are trashed... Update, On the...

Congrats, looks like you found a good example of the XJ. (and congrats on getting the Mouser back)

Cool! I always liked these cars. I worked at a dealer in college that sold Yugos, they had a drawing for everyone buying a Ford, Isuzu or Subaru (the makes they also sold) could win a free Yugo. No one who name was drawn would accept the car.... I tried to get one winner to accept and I would...

A couple from our Nova Scotia trip My 9 year old daughter photographing the sunrise at Peggy's Cove My buddy really wanted a photo of that flower!

Mike, Thanks for sharing another great build. Like others I have a question - what do you use for a sleeping pad? I have a great 3 inch foam pad, but the storage is tough (it's too big) TIA

I just got mine, I use it at bike races for shade and rain protection. I can set mine up alone in less than 10 minutes. I even use it as a stand alone, just put the poles at the end that attaches to the truck rack. I got mine used, and even without directions was able to put it together...

That one looks very similar to the Coleman rack I have. I don't carry heavy loads on my roof but it has been great for firewood, wet stuff after a beach trip, carrying two kayaks, etc. I just couldn't justify a high dollar rack for what little I use it for.

all you can do is offer.... I also agree with her and hope my wife wouldn't get in a strangers truck just because she was uncomfortable. In the end that is all the family was - uncomfortable - their life was in danger - other than being on the side of the road. I will stop for a woman with kids...
