  Transfer case whine

  By SHIfTHEAD

  I'm trying to determine if the whine I'm hearing is normal or if it's 'now that I've heard it I listen for it all the time' kinda thing. The whine is only noticeable above about 50 mph, but is most annoying at about 70 mph. On really long trips it starts to drive me a bit crazy at the higher speeds, but I think that's largely because of funky harmonics in the cabin. It's got 193K on it and I've fairly recently changed the oil in it to see if that would help. No chunks came out and it was... Read more

  Milwaukee M12 vs M18

  By rmchrgr

  A couple years ago my trusty old Ryobi battery drill driver gave out after many years of service. I'm finally over mourning it's demise and it's time to go get a new one. Have it narrowed down to the Milwaukee M12 vs. M18. Don't need an impact driver, just the drill. I'm leaning towards the M12 because it's smaller/lighter but I'm not sure if it's powerful enough. I know the M18 has a brushless motor version that's lighter but it's way more expensive than the regular one. It doesn't need to... Read more

  Random grommet

  By thenative1

  Morning all! My first time posting in the 80 Series section. Have lots of wrench time on an ‘84 FJ45 Troopy and an ‘89 FJ62 but just starting the journey on a new - to me - 3x locked ‘97 FZJ80 (below). Lots for me to fiddle on/improve and on delivery, found the low-beam bulbs were dead so replaced them and in replacing the driver’s side, while fussing with the headlight housing, the grommet below seemed to drop out of nowhere. Looked hard for where it might have come from and examined the... Read more

  Bought my LX this weekend!

  By derk87

  I bought my first 2009 lx over the weekend. Spent the past two days going over it and getting it inspected and everything is great and clean on it. Went over the whole interior and made sure everything worked. When I tested it the 4Lo didn’t engage but managed to get it to activate randomly trying it again. I was worried there would be steering or suspension issues since it sat with little driving the past 6 months but at the inspection everything checked out good. The frame... Read more
